Alpha-lipoic acid: a sulfur-containing fatty acid

The body can produce small amounts of alpha-lipoic acid on its own and obtain some through food — mainly from organ meats, which are now rarely eaten. For this reason, many healthcare professionals recommend supplements to help maintain optimal levels.

FormMed offers premium-quality alpha-lipoic acid capsules — available in the highly pure natural R-form or as the R/S isomer. All FormMed alpha-lipoic acid products also contain vitamin C as an antioxidant to help protect cells from oxidative stress, and biotin, a B-vitamin that supports healthy nerves.
