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.

What are the potential side effects of Alpha-Lipoic Acid?

Side effects may include nausea, skin rash, and stomach discomfort. Alpha-lipoic acid may lower blood sugar levels, so individuals with diabetes or those taking blood sugar-lowering medications should exercise caution and consult their doctor.

About

Alpha-Lipoic Acid is a universal antioxidant active in both water and fat environments. It regenerates other antioxidants and chelates redox-active metals, reducing oxidative neuronal damage. The ALCAR + ALA combination shows significant synergistic effects.

How It Works

Universal antioxidant active in both water-soluble and fat-soluble environments; regenerates other antioxidants (vitamins C, E, glutathione, CoQ10); chelates redox-active metals reducing oxidative neuronal damage.
