Alpha-Lipoic Acid pour Insulin Resistance

B Preuves Au moins un essai randomisé le soutient, avec des résultats globalement concordants.

Alpha-lipoic acid activates AMPK in multiple tissues. RCTs demonstrate improved insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetics. It is approved in Germany for diabetic neuropathy at 600 mg/day. Both fat- and water-soluble, it reaches all tissue compartments.
