Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a supplement for managing chronic diseases characterized by oxidative stress, notably diabetic neuropathy, and demonstrates promise in slowing the onset of metabolic syndrome through antioxidant properties. This supplement exhibits multifaceted features, functioning as an antioxidant by mitigating oxidative stress-induced damage linked to chronic metabolic disorders. This activity elucidates the diverse indications, mechanism of action, contraindications, and crucial aspects of ALA supplementation, providing an understanding for healthcare team members to manage chronic oxidative stress-related conditions.The in-depth exploration of ALA’s mechanisms and therapeutic implications for oxidative stress-related chronic disorders, particularly diabetic neuropathy and metabolic syndrome, equips healthcare professionals with essential insights. Optimizing outcomes for chronic metabolic disorders associated with oxidative stress requires a multidisciplinary approach that considers the diverse benefits and limitations of ALA.
