ALA at 250mg is above minimum effective (200mg) but only 42% of the optimal 600mg dose. No BioPerine or other absorption enhancers (unlike the 600mg version). Clean formula from NOW Foods. Adequate for general antioxidant support but you'd need to triple the dose for the clinical neuropathy benefits. Good entry point, but the 600mg version is the better buy.

NOW Foods Alpha Lipoic Acid 600mg: the formulation holds up. Lead: Alpha Lipoic Acid at 250 mg. ALA at 250mg is above minimum effective (200mg) but only 42% of the optimal 600mg dose. Clinical dose on the primary, and the panel holds together.
Metabolic and antioxidant support.. The product name suggests a 600mg dose, but you only get 250mg per capsule. Most studies for nerve health and blood sugar use 600mg or more. This is a decent starting point for general health. But it's not a therapeutic dose. You'll likely need to take multiple capsules to reach clinical levels.
