Support blood sugar balance and nerve health with this universal antioxidant
Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a naturally occurring antioxidant that is unique in being both water and fat soluble. This means it can work across all cellular compartments, providing broad antioxidant support that most other antioxidants cannot match.
Each capsule provides 100mg of alpha lipoic acid. ALA plays a key role in mitochondrial energy production, helping convert glucose into cellular energy. It also regenerates other antioxidants including vitamins C and E, glutathione and CoQ10, effectively recycling them for continued use.
ALA has been extensively studied for its effects on blood sugar regulation, nerve health and heavy metal chelation. It supports insulin sensitivity and is one of the few antioxidants shown to cross the blood brain barrier, making it relevant for neurological support. It is commonly used alongside other mitochondrial support nutrients such as acetyl L-carnitine and CoQ10.
Key benefits:
- Steadier blood sugar after meals
- Nerve support from oxidative damage
- Recycles antioxidants like vitamins C and E

Directions for use:
Take 1 capsule per day with food.
ALA can be taken with any meal. Some practitioners recommend taking it on an empty stomach for blood sugar support, but taking with food is well tolerated and practical for most people.
ALA can lower blood sugar levels. If you are taking diabetes medication, monitor your blood sugar carefully when starting ALA supplementation and consult your healthcare practitioner about dose adjustments.

What causes oxidative stress?
Pollution, UV exposure, processed foods, stress, intense exercise, and normal metabolism all generate free radicals.
