Nutricost Alpha Lipoic Acid
600 mg of alpha lipoic acid in a 2-capsule serving, in vegetarian capsules
This is Nutricost's alpha lipoic acid: 600 mg in a 2-capsule serving. Nutricost bottles it in 60, 120 and 240 capsules, with the same 600 mg serving in every size. The capsules are plant-based, and the label shows vegetarian and non-GMO seals.
Alpha lipoic acid is a compound your body makes in small amounts. There it works with key enzymes in your mitochondria, the parts of your cells that make energy, according to the Linus Pauling Institute. It's also an antioxidant, and Nutricost files it with its antioxidant products. A supplement gives you far more than food does, and 600 mg is at the top of the range most supplements offer.

Common questions
How much alpha lipoic acid is in a serving?
600 mg in 2 capsules. A 60-capsule bottle has 30 servings, a 120-capsule bottle 60 and a 240-capsule bottle 120.
Is it R-lipoic acid?
The label says alpha lipoic acid and doesn't specify the R or S form. The Linus Pauling Institute notes most lipoic acid supplements are a 50:50 mix of the two. Nutricost sells R-alpha lipoic acid as a separate product.
Should I take it with food?
The label doesn't say. The Linus Pauling Institute reports that taking lipoic acid with food lowered peak blood levels by about 30% in one study, so it's generally taken about 30 minutes before a meal.
Is it vegetarian?
Yes. The capsule is hypromellose, a plant cellulose, and the label carries a vegetarian seal.
