What are the main benefits of alpha-lipoic acid?

Alpha-lipoic acid is an organic compound with antioxidant properties. It's made in small amounts by your body but also found in foods and as a supplement. It may benefit diabetes, skin aging, memory, heart health, and weight loss. 300–600 mg dosages seem effective and safe without serious side effects.

Lipoic acid improves nerve blood flow, reduces oxidative stress, and improves distal nerve conduction in experimental diabetic neuropathy.
