Alpha Lipoic Acid - The dose of the matter

Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) has the ability to ‘recycle’ other antioxidants which means that their benefits go on and on… great news for our health!

But it’s also the dosage of this powerful Rolls Royce of all antioxidants that may make all the difference to getting the results you want.

For ailments where you seek to maintain steady blood sugar balance, doses of 300-1200mg per day may be required. If you are looking to regain your youthful energy or suffer from lethargy of a chronic nature, a daily dose of 500-800mg may be necessary.

Studies have found 600mg of ALA to be effective in supporting liver function and also for nerve damage related to high blood sugar levels. Recommended dosage may increase up to 1800mg with more serious nerve damage of the same nature.

As you can see, the dosage of ALA is variable and vital to obtaining results and is often higher than commonly considered.

Speak to your local natural health professional regarding the dose that’s right for you and think of Radiance^® AlphaProtect™ which delivers a guaranteed 250mg of ALA per capsule - the easy way to get the dose you need.
