A study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food revealed that supplementation with alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), carnosine, and thiamine can lower blood sugar levels in obese individuals with diabetes. Additionally, it can reduce oxidative stress and inhibit platelet aggregation to provide greater cardiovascular protection.
Overall, these findings suggest that daily supplementation with ALA, carnosine, and thiamine exhibit blood sugar-lowering, antioxidant, and cardioprotective effects in obese patients with Type 2 diabetes.
