Scientific data (oral ALA intake)

In clinical trials of oral alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), the most notable results were shown in diabetic polyneuropathy and metabolic parameters: in the double-blind RCT SYDNEY 2 (5 weeks), ALA 600–1800 mg/day reduced the severity of sensory symptoms (Total Symptom Score) by an average of 48–52% versus 32% in placebo (for 600 mg: −4.9 points / −51% ; “response” ≥50% symptom reduction: 62% versus 26% ). In a placebo-controlled pilot RCT in patients with T2DM, 4-week oral ALA (600–1800 mg/day) was associated with a change in insulin sensitivity (MCR in the clamp test) of +27% vs placebo . According to a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of 16 RCTs (n=1035), each +500 mg/day of oral ALA was associated with a mean reduction in HbA1c of −0.17% and fasting glucose of −6.08 mg/dL .

Scientific data in sports (oral ALA)

Support for strength recovery/maintenance during a “hard week.” In a double-blind, randomized trial, ALA 300 mg/day helped maintain strength performance during an intense training microcycle. [1]

Oxidative stress after exercise. In a study in trained men, ALA 600 mg/day was associated with reduced markers of oxidative stress and changes in antioxidant system parameters. [2]

Endurance: In a clinical trial, a combination with ALA 300 mg/day did not improve athletic performance compared to placebo, but was associated with reduced post-test lactate levels. [3]
