Douglas Laboratories Alpha-Lipoic Acid


What offers antioxidant support, promotes weight management, and supports cardiovascular health*? Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA)! This is a compound that your body makes on its own, but when you add even more to your diet as an energy 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 turn your food into fuel. So if you’re dragging, sagging, and feeling so sleepy by 3 pm each day, you might want to add some ALA to your diet.


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 contains an impressive number of antioxidant properties: And that’s beneficial to your body because antioxidants help support immune function* and work to fight free radicals that can cause oxidative stress.*


  • ALA supports healthy blood sugar levels: ALA can be helpful when it comes to managing blood sugar levels because it supports healthy glucose metabolism and the body’s normal insulin function.*


  • ALA is beneficial if you’re trying to manage your weight: Why? Because ALA helps your body break down carbs and turn them into energy!* If you don’t have enough ALA in your body, your metabolic function may not break down food efficiently, which can make weight management harder. Adding a weight management supplement like ALA to your diet helps with that process!*


  • ALA promotes heart health: ALA has been shown to help maintain healthy cholesterol levels already within normal range, something that’s key when it comes to healthy cardiovascular function.*


  • ALA supports a healthy inflammatory response: It’s even been shown to help those who experience occasional joint discomfort.*


  • ALA is beneficial for your skin: And that’s because of its antioxidant properties! It helps support skin health and provides antioxidant support against everyday environmental stressors.* ALA has also been shown to help support healthy aging and skin vitality* and is frequently used in skin care products to help with age-related skin issues.*


  • ALA helps you have a healthy nervous system: 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 healthy nerve function and nervous system health 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.
