Product Description

Pure Encapsulations delivers 200 mg alpha-lipoic acid per vegan capsule with no gluten, soy, or lactose. Targeted at practitioners requiring pharmaceutical-grade quality.

What We Like

  • Hypoallergenic formula without unnecessary carriers
  • Well-documented stability of the R/S racemate
  • Practical 60-serving pack size

What We’re Missing

  • 200 mg per capsule requires multiple doses for neuropathy protocols
  • Racemate form, not R-ALA only
  • Hard capsules have a noticeable odor

Usage Recommendation

1 capsule twice daily 30 minutes before meals; if stomach-sensitive, take with food.

Ingredient dossier

Mitochondrial antioxidant with dual water/fat solubility. R-form significantly more bioavailable than racemic mixture. Evidence strongest for diabetic neuropathy.
