NOW Alpha Lipoic Acid 600mg

Metabolic and antioxidant support.. Most clinical trials for nerve health and blood sugar use exactly 600mg. Adding BioPerine is a pro move because ALA is usually hard for the body to soak up. This specific dose shows significant antioxidant benefits in roughly 80% of users.

9.0/10
EXCEPTIONAL

ALA at exactly 600mg, the dose used in the landmark NATHAN 1 trial for diabetic neuropathy. BioPerine at 5mg (minimum effective) enhances absorption. This is textbook clinical dosing of a well-studied antioxidant. Clean formula. The only reason it's not a 10 is that R-ALA form would be even more bioactive, but racemic ALA at 600mg is the standard clinical dose.
