alpha lipoic acid is a natural occurring nutrient the body can make &
amp; therefore considered essential. The body can creat it itself. It is said to increase the bodies blood sugar level. Its supposed to be a natural supplement that may increase the anabolic effects of insulin. It serves as a strong anti-oxidant that aids in protecting red blood cells &
amp; fatty acids from strenuos exercise or training. It has also been used to help aid in lver damage as well. I know they use it for people who have severe liver damage from alchohol as well. Its a very strong anti-oxidant
