Standard alpha lipoic acid supplements contain a 50/50 mix of two mirror-image molecules — the R-isomer and the S-isomer. Only the R-isomer occurs naturally in the body and is the form your cells are built to use directly. Biotaine's R-ALA delivers 600mg of the active R-isomer per serving (3 softgels), made with coconut oil to support absorption of this fat-soluble compound.*

ALA is both fat- and water-soluble. Pairing it with a carrier oil like coconut oil in a softgel is a common approach used to support absorption of fat-soluble compounds, rather than a dry powder capsule.*

The suggested serving is 3 softgels per day. R-ALA isn't a stimulant, so it isn't designed to produce an immediate effect — most people take it consistently as part of their daily routine. Individual experiences vary; talk to your healthcare provider about what's reasonable to expect for you.*

R-Alpha Lipoic Acid has an established safety profile in the supplement research literature. Biotaine's formula is manufactured in a cGMP-compliant facility and third-party lab tested for purity. Some people experience mild stomach upset when starting ALA, especially on an empty stomach. Because ALA may affect blood sugar levels, talk to your doctor before use if you take insulin or other blood-sugar-affecting medication, are pregnant or nursing, or have any medical condition. Do not exceed 3 softgels per day.*

R-ALA is generally well-tolerated alongside most everyday supplements. If you take insulin, metformin, or other blood-sugar-affecting medication, or thyroid medication, talk to your healthcare provider before starting, since ALA may interact with how these medications work. Always check with your doctor if you're pregnant, nursing, or managing a medical condition.*
