What is Alpha Lipoic Acid?
Alpha Lipoic Acid is a naturally occurring fatty acid that is produced by your body and can also be obtained from food or ALA supplements.
In the body, Alpha Lipoic Acid is produced as an intermediate in energy production. More specifically, it is produced in the mitochondria, the energy factories of the cell. It is produced as a component of a complex enzymatic process known as the citric acid cycle. During this cycle, carbohydrates and fats are broken down to generate energy. The production of Alpha Lipoic Acid in the body requires several enzymes and cofactors, including thiamin, riboflavin, niacin and vitamin B6. However, the amount in the body decreases as we get older. Therefore, in some cases it may be necessary to consume extra food or ALA supplements to meet the body's needs.

Unfortunately, European legislation does not allow us to make medical claims and not to mention the possible benefits and exact effect.

Alpha Lipoic Acid in food
Humans produce Alpha Lipoic Acid only in small amounts. That's why many buy Alpha Lipoic Acid supplements to optimize their intake. Animal products such as red meat and organ meats such as liver, heart and kidneys are great sources of Alpha-Lipoic Acid, but plant foods such as broccoli, tomatoes, spinach, and potatoes, green peas and Brussels sprouts also contain alpha lipoic acid.
The highest values of Alpha Lipoic Acid
- Spinach contains a relatively high concentration. A 100 gram portion of raw spinach contains approximately 0.2-0.3 mg
- Broccoli is another good source. A 100 gram serving of raw broccoli contains approximately 0.2-0.3 mg
- Organ meats, such as liver and heart, contain relatively high concentrations. A 100 gram portion of liver contains approximately 0.2-0.4 mg
- Tomatoes are another good source. A 100 gram portion of raw tomatoes contains approximately 0.1-0.2 mg
- Peas are also a pretty good source. A 100 gram serving of cooked peas contains approximately 0.1-0.2 mg of a
Supplements vs. nutrition
- Supplements can contain up to 1,000 times more alpha-lipoic acid than regular dietary sources.
- It is both water and fat soluble, allowing it to work in any cell or tissue in the body.
Use Alpha Lipoic Acid safely
Human studies of ALA supplements have shown it to be safe to use. Even at a dosage of 1800 mg per day, no significant negative effects occurred; very rarely there is nausea, vomiting and dizziness. When supplementing with alpha-lipoic acid, the vitamin B1 supply must be sufficient. Animal research suggests that a high dose of alpha-lipoic acid can be toxic in case of a thiamine deficiency. Heavy drinkers often already have a vitamin B1 deficiency and should avoid alpha lipoic acid because it can increase a vitamin B1 deficiency. If you are using medication, always consult your doctor first. ALA supplements are not suitable for children.
Tested and pure ALA supplements
Our ALA supplement has been tested by both the supplier and an independent laboratory and does not contain heavy metals or other toxins. Make sure that the alpha lipoic acid you buy has been tested. Many providers do not have their supplements tested for this or only test them with random samples. Every batch of alpha lipoic acid has been tested by us.
How do you use Alpha Lipoic Acid?
- Suitable for vegetarians
- Recommended daily dose: dissolve up to a maximum of 1.8 g in water and take preferably after a meal in the morning or evening or divided over 2 times during the day
- Alpha lipoic acid has a tendency to clump. This would normally be prevented by adding an anti-caking agent, but we do not want to add such chemicals to our products. We believe that a better solution is to simply break up the lumps with a fork, spoon or similar instead of adding unnecessary chemicals
- Store in a cool and dark place, away from children
- Do not use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Includes free measuring spoon. The spoon contains 0.4 g and is dishwasher safe.
- For correct dosages use a precision scale
- Always consult with the treating physician in case of illness and medication use
- To live a healthy life, a healthy lifestyle is very important, as is a varied and balanced diet. Alpha Lipoic Acid supplements are not a substitute for this.
European legislation and Alpha Lipoic Acid
According to European legislation, we are not allowed to make medical claims on the use of Alpha Lipoic Acid. As a result, we cannot describe the exact effect of this supplement. We therefore advise you to do the research yourself. A good start for this is an orthomolecular site such as Orthokennis. They are allowed to mention the possible health benefits because they do not sell the supplement online
