Alpha Lipoic Acid is a unique organosulfur compound that serves as a vital cofactor for mitochondrial enzymes, specifically the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. Known as the "Universal Antioxidant," ALA is both water and fat-soluble, allowing it to provide cellular protection across all tissues, including the blood-brain barrier. In diabetic patients, the body often fails to produce GLA, leading to nerve membrane degradation. Supplementation provides the structural lipids necessary for nerve regeneration. ALA neutralizes free radicals, while GLA repairs the structural damage caused by those radicals. Clinical studies show a significantly higher reduction in neuropathic pain scores compared to using either ingredient alone. Also called as Biletan or thioctic acid by alpha-Lipoic acid manufacturers. We are one of the leading Alpha Lipoic Acid & Gamma Linolenic Acid Supplier & various other nutraceutical producer worldwide, ensuring comprehensive regulatory support & CoA traceability for grades with global supply capability with reliable lead time.

Generally safe; high doses may lower blood sugar (caution for diabetics on insulin)
First-line clinical adjunct for reducing oxidative stress in peripheral nerves, alleviating tingling and burning sensations
Promotes AMPK activation, aiding in glucose uptake and lipid metabolism
Reduces fine lines and systemically to recycle other antioxidants like Vitamin C and Glutathione
Store below 25°C in amber-colored containers
24 months if kept airtight and dark
Unlike most antioxidants that are either water-soluble (Vitamin C) or fat-soluble (Vitamin E), ALA functions in both environments, protecting every part of the cell.
No. Despite the similar names, Alpha-Linolenic Acid is an Omega-3 fatty acid, while Alpha Lipoic Acid is a sulfur-containing antioxidant. They have completely different metabolic functions.
Borage oil contains over 20% GLA compared to 9% in Evening Primrose, making it more efficient for high-concentration soft gel formulations.
Yes. R-ALA is more heat-sensitive than the racemic S-form and can polymerize into a gummy residue if exposed to high temperatures.
