Douglas Laboratories Alpha-Lipoic Acid
What offers antioxidant support*, supports healthy energy metabolism*, and supports cardiovascular wellness*? Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA)! This is a compound that your body makes on its own, but when you add more to your diet as a dietary supplement, you make sure there’s plenty of ALA around when your body needs it.
And it definitely uses this nutrient! It plays a role in a host of functions, especially energy production. Your body uses ALA to help convert food into energy.* This makes it a simple addition to a wellness routine focused on daily energy metabolism.*
Douglas Laboratories Alpha-Lipoic Acid offers a potent dose of this energy-friendly ingredient and is easy to add to your daily regimen. Here are some additional reasons to bring more ALA into your life:
ALA provides antioxidant support: And that’s beneficial to your body because antioxidants help support a healthy immune system* and help neutralize free radicals that can contribute to oxidative stress.*
ALA supports healthy glucose metabolism: ALA can be helpful when it comes to daily wellness because it supports healthy glucose metabolism and the body’s normal insulin function already within the normal range.*
ALA supports healthy energy metabolism: Why? Because ALA helps your body break down carbs and helps convert food into energy!* If you don’t have enough ALA in your body, your metabolic function may not use nutrients as efficiently. Adding a weight management supplement like ALA to your diet can complement a healthy diet and exercise plan.*
ALA supports cardiovascular wellness: ALA helps support normal cardiovascular function as part of an overall wellness routine.*
ALA supports overall wellness: Its antioxidant activity helps support the body’s everyday wellness needs.*
ALA supports skin health: And that’s because of its antioxidant properties! It helps support skin health and provides antioxidant support against everyday environmental stressors.* ALA also helps support healthy aging and skin vitality.*
ALA supports normal nervous system function: Healthy communication between your brain and the rest of your body matters more and more with age. Making sure you consume plenty of ALA each day may help support normal nervous system function as you age.*

FAQs About Douglas Laboratories Alpha-Lipoic Acid Tablets
Q: Does this give you an energy boost right away? A: No, not like caffeine. Alpha-lipoic acid is more for metabolic support, and this one has 100 mg per tablet.
Q: How should I take this one? A: Take one tablet once or twice a day. If your stomach is sensitive, I'd take it with a meal, even though some people take alpha-lipoic acid away from food.
Q: I've heard alpha-lipoic acid is used for blood sugar. Is that true? A: Yes. That's one of the main reasons people take it. It's often used to support healthy blood sugar that's already in a normal range. If you're on diabetes medication, check with your doctor first.
Q: Why does this only have 100 mg when I've seen higher amounts? A: Because 100 mg is a moderate dose. A lot of people start there once or twice a day and see how they feel before going higher.
Q: Does it have anything else active in it besides alpha-lipoic acid? A: No. The only active ingredient is alpha-lipoic acid, 100 mg per tablet. Everything else is just the tablet ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, silica, croscarmellose sodium, stearic acid, hypromellose, glycerin, and vegetable stearate.
Q: Should I worry about any medication interactions? A: Yes, especially if you take blood sugar or thyroid medication. Alpha-lipoic acid can affect glucose levels, so if you're on prescriptions, I'd ask your pharmacist about it.
Q: Can I take this if I'm pregnant or nursing? A: I'd wait and talk to your OB or midwife before starting it. That's the safest move during pregnancy or while nursing.
