Control Diabetes
Alpha-lipoic acid is a type of antioxidant that can reduce the levels of glucose, improve insulin sensitivity, as well as prevent oxidative stress. All of these effects can improve the symptoms of diabetes. You can find alpha-lipoic acid in a lot of leafy green veggies, including spinach. Studies on this antioxidant have shown significant improvements in autonomic neuropathy and peripheral neuropathy. If you cannot take in sufficient amounts of alpha-lipoic acid through spinach, then it is possible to use supplements or intravenous. [6]
