R 299.00
Alpha lipoic acid 100 mg with C and E synergy.
DUAL-PHASE ANTIOXIDANT
Unlike vitamin C (water-only) or vitamin E (lipid-only), alpha lipoic acid works in both compartments, giving it broader free radical coverage.
MITOCHONDRIAL COFACTOR
ALA is a cofactor in the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, the enzyme that connects glycolysis to the Krebs cycle for ATP production.
GLUCOSE METABOLISM
ALA has been studied for its effect on insulin sensitivity and is used in some clinical protocols for diabetic neuropathy.
ANTIOXIDANT RECYCLING
ALA regenerates the reduced forms of vitamin C, vitamin E, and glutathione, extending the lifespan of the wider antioxidant network.

Primary Active Ingredients & Mechanisms
- Alpha Lipoic Acid 100 mg
- A sulphur-containing compound that acts as a cofactor in mitochondrial enzymes and as a dual-phase antioxidant in both water and lipid environments.
- Vitamin C 250 mg
- A water-soluble antioxidant and cofactor in collagen synthesis. ALA helps regenerate the reduced form of vitamin C.
- Vitamin E 20 mg
- A fat-soluble antioxidant that protects cell membranes. ALA helps recycle vitamin E back to its active form after free radical quenching.
Who is it for?
Adults wanting comprehensive antioxidant support, those interested in mitochondrial and glucose metabolism support, and people exposed to oxidative stress through pollution, smoking, or intense training.
Why use it?
ALA's dual-phase property is genuinely unusual. Pairing it with vitamin C and vitamin E creates a recycling network where each antioxidant supports the others, extending overall protection.
When to use it
Take on an empty stomach for best absorption, ideally 30 minutes before a meal or 2 hours after. Food (particularly carbs) can reduce ALA absorption.
How to use it
Take 1 capsule daily, on an empty stomach with water. Do not take with a carb-heavy meal. For higher therapeutic doses (300 to 600 mg), discuss with a healthcare practitioner.

Strategic Cross-Sell
