As research and field trials have recently demonstrated in the U.S. and in Europe, diabetes sufferers may see clear benefits from supplementing their diabetes medication régimes with all natural supplements. However, one study may indicate that not all supplements are equally effective in treatment programs.
According to a study published by Lester Packard at the University of California at Berkeley, r-alpha lipoic acid was instrumental in reducing nerve-related diabetes pain and in drastically reducing spikes in blood sugar levels.
"Since r-alpha lipoic acid is naturally occurring, it appears to be more readily utilized by the body's metabolism," said Glucorell, makers of Insulow, an r-alpha lipoic acid supplement. "Many products on the market may advertise the benefits of lipoic acid but neglect to inform the public that some products are merely ALA -- alpha lipoic acid -- a half synthetic ingredient that may not be as effective as r-ALA."
"The R-form is the only form of lipoic acid that occurs naturally and is therefore the only form that can be readily recognized and used by cells in the body. Recently it has been discovered that the R-form provides all of the beneficial effects of the ALA, while the S-form has little beneficial effect and may actually hinder the beneficial effects of the R-form. For example, a recent study has shown that the r-lipoic acid treats all the major effects of insulin resistance, while the S-form may make things even worse," said Susan Sloane, Rph., C.D.E.
