Alpha lipoic acid is a compound the body makes in small amounts and uses in energy production inside cells. It is unusual in dissolving in both water and fat.
It is found in small amounts in spinach, broccoli and organ meats. People take it as a supplement for its antioxidant role and as part of practitioner protocols for energy and nerve support.
Each capsule provides alpha lipoic acid with cellulose, in a vegetable capsule suitable for vegans. The dose is moderate, so it can be taken once or twice a day as directed.

Alpha Lipoic Acid provides antioxidant support against oxidative stress.
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.
Take with food for best absorption.
Pollution, UV exposure, processed foods, stress, intense exercise, and normal metabolism all generate free radicals.
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.
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.
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.
