Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Alpha-Lipoic Acid unique as an antioxidant?

ALA is one of the few antioxidants that's both water-soluble and fat-soluble, meaning it's active in every tissue compartment in the body — inside and outside cells. Most antioxidants are limited to one environment. ALA also regenerates other antioxidants — Vitamin C, Vitamin E, CoQ10 and Glutathione — once they've been used up. It's sometimes called the 'antioxidant of antioxidants' for this reason.

Which dose should I take — 250mg or 500mg?

Both capsules contain the same compound, Alpha-Lipoic Acid, just at different strengths. 250mg is a good starting point — ideal if you're new to ALA or already taking other antioxidants. 500mg is the higher-strength option for a more concentrated daily dose. Some people start at 250mg and step up to 500mg after a week or two to see how they respond. We currently stock the 250mg capsule.

Are there any precautions I should know before taking ALA?

ALA is generally well tolerated, but it's best taken with food — it can cause mild nausea on an empty stomach. If you're on chronic medication or manage an existing health condition, check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding any new supplement to your routine. This is good practice with any supplement, not specific to ALA.

Does ALA reach areas other antioxidants can't?

Yes. Because ALA is both water- and fat-soluble, it can cross into tissue compartments — including the blood-brain barrier — that many single-environment antioxidants can't reach as easily. That's part of what makes it a distinctive addition to an antioxidant stack, alongside compounds like NAC, Vitamin C and Vitamin E.

When should I take ALA and can I stack it?

Take ALA with food — it can cause mild nausea on an empty stomach otherwise. It pairs well as part of a wider antioxidant routine, often stacked with CoQ10, NAC, Vitamin C and Vitamin E. ALA's ability to regenerate these other antioxidants is one of the reasons it's a popular addition to an antioxidant stack.
