From my understnaiding it's a fatty acid that helps the body convert glucose to energy - something similar to some B vtamins. In terms of taking it for weight loss - pointless imo. It's not going to make you lose weight.

If you are determined to do a low carb diet and get into ketosis as quickly as possible, ALA has a small role to play. It's a good anti-oxidant, but a waste for weight loss.
