Alpha lipoic acid

Alpha-lipoic acid at the heart of the cell

Capable of acting in both water and oil, alpha-lipoic acid (or ALA for short) is active in all areas of the cell, whether aqueous or lipid-based.

Where does it come from? How is it obtained?

ALA is naturally produced in very small amounts by our body. It is also found in certain foods such as spinach, organ meats (liver, kidneys), brewer’s yeast, and broccoli. But beware: in food form, it is bound to a protein (lysine), which makes it very poorly bioavailable. To achieve noticeable effects, the free form provided by supplements is much more effective.

How much per day?

From 100 to 600 mg per day, sometimes up to 1200 mg in medical contexts. However, when used in synergy with other nutrients, a smaller amount may already allow you to feel its effects!

Always follow the advice of a healthcare professional, especially if you are taking medication (particularly for diabetes or thyroid conditions).

Glycemia Control

You will find alpha-lipoic acid in the dietary supplement Glycemia Control.
It is found there in synergy with other nutrients key to carbohydrate metabolism, such as chromium, cinnamon, zinc, and fenugreek. Together, they form a team specialized in blood sugar management, providing intelligent nutritional support to the body.

A natural synergy

If each ingredient in Glycemia Control plays a role, ALA is a bit like the team’s strategist. It acts at the heart of the cells, where everything begins.
