Definitely it is an antioxidant. Researchers believe Alpha-lipoic acid helps improve insulin sensitivity, that's why it is used by diabetics, like type 2 sufferers.
Referring to following videos about Diabetes, Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant made by the body, if Alpha-lipoic acid helps to increases Na+K+ATPase activity, then it would helps turn more glucose into energy and lower blood sugar levels on solving diabetics' issue. I would like to know more on how Alpha-lipoic acid helps to increases Na+K+ATPase activity in cell levels.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks, to everyone very much for any suggestions :>
