Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is known as the universal antioxidant. ALA is both fat-and water- soluble. As a result, ALA provides protection for a wide range of body systems. Researchers believe that ALA helps shift glucose into muscles and away from fat cells, increasing energy and reducing stored fat.
In one study, scientists gave 1,127 overweight or obese males and females 800 mg of ALA per day. After four months, average blood pressure had declined significantly.
Participants also had an average of two to four points lower body mass index scores. Obese women lost an average of 3.5 inches in waist size and obese men 4.3 inches in waist size.
