What is Alpha-Lipoic Acid?

Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a naturally occurring antioxidant that functions in both water- and fat-soluble environments. It has been studied for its potential neuroprotective properties, including supporting mitochondrial function and reducing oxidative stress in the brain.

What dosage of Alpha-Lipoic Acid has been used in studies?

Cognitive studies have typically used 300 mg to 600 mg of alpha-lipoic acid daily. Some neuropathy trials have used up to 1,200 mg per day. R-alpha-lipoic acid, the naturally occurring form, may be effective at lower doses. Consult your healthcare provider for guidance.
