Product Description

Caret Down

Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is an antioxidant that works in both water- and fat-soluble environments in the body. It helps support the body’s natural antioxidant processes and overall cellular balance.

Inside the mitochondria, ALA plays a role in normal energy metabolism, helping the body convert nutrients from food into usable energy (ATP). Many people include ALA in their routine as part of a general wellness and antioxidant-support strategy.

Each capsule provides 300 mg of alpha-lipoic acid. The formula is simple and free from gluten, dairy, and soy, making it easy to fit into a variety of lifestyles.

ALA can be taken daily with a meal, alongside habits like good sleep, hydration, and balanced nutrition. Consistent use over time is more important than the exact time of day you take it.

How it helps those with Long COVID

Caret Down

Alpha-lipoic acid is used as a dietary supplement to support the body’s natural antioxidant defenses and normal energy metabolism. By participating in redox reactions and helping recycle other antioxidants, it can be a useful option for people looking to support overall wellness and cellular energy. Experiences vary, and supplements should be used as part of a broader self-care plan discussed with a clinician.

Scientific Explanation

Caret Down

Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) functions as a cofactor in mitochondrial energy metabolism, including the decarboxylation of alpha-keto acids. Its antioxidant properties are related to its ability to participate in redox reactions and regenerate endogenous antioxidants such as vitamins C and E. ALA can also bind certain metal ions, a property that has been studied in the context of redox balance.
