A 2013 randomized controlled trial in Iranian patients on maintenance hemodialysis found that 2 months of supplementation with 400 units vitamin E alone and combined with ALA 600 mg significantly decreased one inflammation biomarker, interleukin-6. Biomarkers for lipid peroxidation, malnutrition, and another inflammation biomarker (C-reactive protein) were not significantly affected. Subjective nutritional scores increased significantly with supplement monotherapy or combination therapy.( 55) Dosing The concentration of ALA in different foods can vary widely depending on where they’re grown, the quality of the soil, how fresh they are and how they’re prepared, so it’s hard to quantify how much is in each type of food. There hasn’t been much research done to draw conclusions about how much ALA is found in particular foods, although we know vegetables and certain organ meats seem to be highest. None well documented. An early animal study investigating the effect of ALA on thyroid metabolism documented inhibition of T4 to T3 conversion with administration of ALA to mice. ALA reduced both T3 and T4 levels to those of untreated controls.( 64) According to researchers from Oregon State University, the amounts of lipoic acid available in dietary supplements (ranging in dosage from 200–600 milligrams) can be as much as 1,000 times greater than the amounts that could be obtained through someone’s diet alone.Evans, J.

The databases MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched using the keywords 'lipoic acid', 'thioctic acid', 'diabet*', and the medical subject headings (MeSH ) 'thioctic acid' and 'diabetes mellitus'. Randomised placebo-controlled trials (RCTs) and meta-analyses were selected and assessed for their methodological quality. We know that an anti-inflammatory diet filled with various colorful “ brain foods” helps protect memory. Some health care professionals use alpha lipoic acid supplements to further help prevent their patients from experiencing neuron damage, memory loss, motor impairment and changes in cognitive functioning due to its antioxidant activity.

Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy. 2021;144:112308. doi:10.1016/j.biopha.2021.112308Alpha lipoic acid supplementation seems to help improve insulin sensitivity and might also offer protection against metabolic syndrome — a term given to a cluster of conditions like high blood pressure, cholesterol and body weight. Some evidence also shows that it can help lower blood sugar levels.

Be cautious with this combination • Medications for cancer (Antitumor antibiotics) interacts with ALPHA-LIPOIC ACID Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a fat-soluble, sulfur-containing, vitamin-like antioxidant. It is not a true vitamin because it can be synthesized in the body and is not necessary in the diet of animals. ALA functions in the same manner as many B-complex vitamins. Good sources of ALA are yeast and liver. 1, 2 Other sources include spinach, broccoli, potatoes, kidney, heart, and skeletal muscle. 3 History Lee, W. J., Lee, I. K., Kim, H. S., Kim, Y. M., Koh, E.

The number of studies and included patients were small. Furthermore, studies, study populations, and main results in cumulative analyses were heterogeneous. Due to the relatively small number of studies, our meta-regression analyses had limited power. Although there was no evidence of publication bias for all outcome measures on funnel plots and Egger's Tests, the relatively small number of studies also limits the assessment of publication bias.
