There has not been much research in humans regarding alpha lipoic acid benefits. Large, long-term, well-controlled studies need to be done. Though alpha lipoic acid so far appear to be safe (except for a few reports of allergic skin reactions), no one knows what the long-term side effects of large supplemental doses of alpha lipoic acid in relationship to alpha lipoic acid benefits may be. In Germany, in particular, alpha lipoic acid benefits are considered viable enough to often be prescribed to treat long-term complications of diabetes, such as nerve damage, thought to result in part from free-radical damage. Some alpha lipoic acid benefits studies - mostly in animals, and a few in humans, often using intravenous doses, do show that supplemental alpha lipoic
acid can help keep nerves healthy, and play other successful and
beneficial roles in the body.

Alpha lipoic acid benefits have been successfully enjoyed in the maintenance of liver health and as a treatment for several toxin-related illnesses. Alpha Lipoic acid benefits have been depended upon extensively in Europe for years as a non-toxic nutrient to treat various chemical overdoses such as mushroom poisoning, radiation poisoning and alcoholic hepatitis. Diabetic neuropathy and elevated liver enzymes are among the list of alpha lipoic acid benefits as the supplement has been used to treat them both. Both insulin-dependent and non-insulin-dependent diabetics will be excited to learn that lipoic acid has been used for nearly 30 years in Europe, where alpha lipoic acid benefits diabetic neuropathy, help regulate blood sugar and prevent diabetic retinopathy and cardiopathy," Passwater says. "Alpha lipoic acid benefits not only the nervous system, but also may be involved in regenerating nerves. It is also being studied in the treatment of Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. Elevated liver enzymes, which can indicate liver damage, can be a serious problem for people with life threatening diseases. Alpha lipoic acid benefits may include people who take oral medications such as antibiotics and/or anti-virals, balanced liver enzymes are essential for these drugs to get metabolized properly. Unfortunately, these same drugs can cause increased liver enzymes. Alpha Lipoic acid benefits the liver by protecting it so that you can take certain drugs. Another benefit of Alpha Lipoic acid may be its ability to elevate the levels of glutathione (GSH). Low levels of glutathione may cause oxidative stress, and cause inflammation and damage organs. Oxidative stress may also cause damage to nerve cells, leading to peripheral neuropathy. Alpha lipoic acid benefits us by preventing low levels of GSH.
Alpha lipoic acid benefits have been enjoyed for decades protecting the liver and detoxifying the body of heavy metal pollutants, such as excessive iron and copper and toxic metals such as cadmium, lead and mercury," Passwater continues. One of the most exciting recent alpha lipoic acid benefits developments is that lipoic acid appears to help slow the progression of HIV-infection to clinical AIDS.
Neither animal nor human studies, so far, have shown serious side effects to counter Alpha Lipoic acid benefits. However, if you have diabetes or heart disease and decide to take it, tell your doctor. The supplement may, for instance, affect the dosage of your diabetes medication. ALA is not recommended for pregnant women without proper supervision. Since it may interfere with vitamin B-1 utilization, a thiamine or B vitamin supplement may be warranted if lipoic acid is given to thiamine-deficient individuals, such as alcoholics. A preliminary study with lab animals indicates that taking A-L-Carnitine with A-Lipoic Acid produces much better results than either alone.
