★★★★★ "I won't go back to high street supplements. The difference in quality is something you can actually feel." Susie
Alpha Lipoic Acid Capsules give you alpha lipoic acid on its own, the antioxidant that dissolves in both water and fat. Each capsule provides 100mg and you take one a day with food. One pot holds 60 capsules, which is a 60 day supply.
Benefits of taking alpha lipoic acid
Alpha lipoic acid is a compound the body makes in small amounts and uses as a cofactor in the mitochondrial enzymes that turn food into energy. It is unusual in dissolving in both water and fat, so it works in both parts of a cell. Spinach, broccoli and organ meats hold small amounts. People take it as a supplement for its antioxidant role and as part of practitioner routines.
- Each capsule gives a fixed 100mg, a moderate amount you can build on.
- Water and fat are both covered, because alpha lipoic acid dissolves in each.
- Nothing else is in the capsule apart from cellulose and the shell.
- One capsule a day covers two months from one pot.
Who benefits
Alpha Lipoic Acid Capsules are most useful for:
- People pointed at alpha lipoic acid by a practitioner who want a plain capsule at a known 100mg amount.
- Anyone who wants to build up gradually rather than start at 600mg.
- Those who take it alongside coenzyme Q10 and carnitine as part of an energy routine.
If you want alpha lipoic acid inside a wider mix, Antioxidant Formula Capsules give 37.5mg in each capsule alongside 25 other antioxidants.
What is in it
Each capsule provides 100mg of alpha lipoic acid in the standard mixed R and S form. The other ingredients are cellulose and the vegetable capsule shell. Thioctic acid, lipoic acid and ALA are other names for it. There is no authorised health claim for alpha lipoic acid, so Nutri Tailor describes it by what it contains.
How to take it
Take one capsule a day with food. If a practitioner has advised a different amount, follow their advice.
Diet and allergens
The capsules are suitable for vegans and vegetarians. They are free from gluten, dairy and nuts.
Quality
The capsules are made in the UK in a GMP certified cleanroom facility accredited to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Every batch is traceable from raw material to finished product. Like every supplement Nutri Tailor stocks, they are practitioner grade and guaranteed additive free.
Common questions
Alpha lipoic acid or R-lipoic acid?
Alpha lipoic acid as usually sold is a mixture of the R and S forms. R-lipoic acid is the form the body makes and the more active of the two. It is also less stable and dearer. These capsules provide the standard mixed form used in most of the research. If you have been advised the R form specifically, look for a product labelled R-lipoic acid.
How much alpha lipoic acid should I take a day?
Take one capsule a day, which gives you 100mg. It is a moderate amount, which suits people who prefer to start low.
When is the best time to take it?
With food, at any time of day. Taking it at the same meal each day makes it easy to remember.
Can I take it with other supplements?
Yes. It is often taken alongside Coenzyme Q10 Capsules and Acetyl L-Carnitine Capsules as part of an energy routine. Count the alpha lipoic acid if you also take Antioxidant Formula Capsules.
Does alpha lipoic acid have side effects?
It is well tolerated at one capsule a day with food. If you take prescribed tablets, are pregnant or breastfeeding, speak to your GP or pharmacist first.
Why capsules rather than tablets?
A capsule is a cellulose shell around the powder, so it needs none of the binders or coating that hold a tablet together.

Frequently asked questions
What is Alpha Lipoic Acid good for?
Alpha Lipoic Acid provides antioxidant support against oxidative stress.
Alpha lipoic acid or R-lipoic acid: which form is this?
Alpha lipoic acid as usually sold is a mixture of the R and S forms; R-lipoic acid is the form the body makes and the more active of the two, and it is also less stable and dearer. These capsules provide standard alpha lipoic acid, which is the form used in most of the research and suits people taking a moderate dose once or twice a day. If you have been advised to take the R form specifically, look for a product labelled R-lipoic acid.
When should I take antioxidants?
Take with food for best absorption.
What causes oxidative stress?
Pollution, UV exposure, processed foods, stress, intense exercise, and normal metabolism all generate free radicals.
Who is alpha lipoic acid best for?
People pointed at alpha lipoic acid by a practitioner who want a plain single-ingredient capsule at a known 100 mg dose, and people who want to build up gradually rather than start at 600 mg. There is no authorised health claim for alpha lipoic acid, so Nutri Tailor does not promise an outcome from it.
What is alpha lipoic acid?
A compound the body makes in small amounts and uses as a cofactor in the mitochondrial enzymes that turn food into energy. It dissolves in both water and fat. Each capsule provides 100 mg of the standard mixed R and S form.
Why capsules rather than tablets?
Tablets need binders, fillers and a coating to hold their shape. A capsule is a cellulose shell around the powder, so it carries no binders and breaks down quickly once swallowed.
