Alpha-Lipoic Acid

• Intravenous ALA is associated with significantly reduced neuropathic pain. (ALADIN trial)
• Meta-analyses confirm improvements in neuropathy symptoms with parenteral ALA. (neuropathy meta-analysis)
• Oral ALA is associated with prevented progression of diabetic neuropathy. (long-term ALA trial)

Take 1 capsule two to three times daily with meals for optimal absorption and tolerability.

Consistency matters more than timing — your body benefits from regular daily intake rather than sporadic doses.

Alpha-lipoic acid may interact with blood sugar medications, thyroid treatments, and blood thinners — check with your healthcare provider before combining. Most supplements pair safely with ALA, though it's wise to discuss your full regimen with your doctor.

People managing blood sugar challenges, athletes facing oxidative stress from intense training, and those seeking nerve and liver support benefit from alpha-lipoic acid's antioxidant protection. Men interested in fertility support and anyone wanting to optimize cellular energy production may also find it valuable.

Most people notice improvements in 3 to 5 weeks with oral supplementation, though intravenous administration shows results faster. Individual timelines vary based on dosage, health status, and what you're targeting.
