Most antioxidants work in either water or fat. Alpha-lipoic acid works in both, which is why it reaches tissue the others cannot, and it regenerates other antioxidants instead of being used up itself. A full 600 mg in one capsule, the amount the neurological research is built on. Sixty days to a bottle.*

How to take
Take 1 capsule daily, preferably on an empty stomach — alpha-lipoic acid absorbs better away from food. Many people take it first thing in the morning. If it unsettles your stomach, a small meal usually fixes it.. Consistency matters more than timing — pick a moment you'll remember daily.
Alpha-lipoic acid can lower blood sugar. Consult a healthcare professional before use if you take glucose-lowering medication, or if you are pregnant, nursing, taking any medication, or managing a medical condition. Separate from thyroid medication by at least four hours, and space apart from biotin. Keep out of reach of children.

What it supports
+
An antioxidant that works both sides
Water-based and fat-based tissue both. Most antioxidants manage one or the other, which is why ALA reaches places they cannot.
+
Supports cellular energy production
ALA is a cofactor in the mitochondrial enzymes that turn what you eat into energy your cells can actually spend.
+
Supports nerve health and function
This is where ALA has the deepest research file, and where the studied amounts start at 600 mg a day.
+
Supports healthy glucose metabolism
ALA plays a part in the body's normal handling of glucose as part of everyday metabolic function.
+
Recharges your other antioxidants
Rather than being used up neutralising a free radical, ALA helps regenerate glutathione and vitamin C so they can work again.
+
Two months in every bottle
Sixty capsules at one a day. The full studied amount without splitting a dose across the day.

Inside the formula
Alpha-lipoic acid · 600 mg
Alpha-lipoic acid is unusual among antioxidants. Most of them work in one compartment of the body or the other — vitamin C in water-based tissue, vitamin E in fat-based tissue. ALA works in both, which is why it reaches places single-phase antioxidants cannot. It also does something rarer still: rather than being consumed when it neutralises a free radical, it helps regenerate other antioxidants, including glutathione. And it sits inside the mitochondria as a cofactor in the enzymes that turn fuel into usable energy. The research on nerve and cognitive support runs at 600 mg and above, which is the amount in one capsule here.
Frequently asked
questions
How do I know what's on the label is in the bottle?
Trust should be verifiable. Every batch we produce is tested by an independent laboratory, and the certificate of analysis for your exact lot is published on this page — potency, heavy metals, microbials. Testing begins the moment a raw material arrives, continues through production, and no batch is released until every result clears. The label is a claim. The COA is the proof.
How do you choose your ingredients and doses?
We formulate from peer-reviewed clinical research and dose to match it. We select the highest-grade material available for each ingredient, in the form the body absorbs best, and where a patented or branded form is the one that has actually been studied, that is the one we use. Every active appears at its exact amount, with no proprietary blends and nothing added that doesn't need to be there.
Where are CoreLabs supplements made?
In our own cGMP-certified facility in California's Central Valley. Manufacturing in-house means quality is our responsibility at every step rather than a supplier's promise. Raw materials are purchased through established US suppliers who import and qualify them, and every material is tested against our own specification before it enters production — wherever it originated.
Why are CoreLabs supplements more expensive?
Because of what goes in. We buy the highest grade of each raw material, in the most absorbable form, and we work with the branded and patented ingredient houses whose material the clinical research was actually run on — names like Lonza, Albion, RIBUS, Sabinsa and Indena. Wherever possible those materials are made domestically. Our capsules are titanium-dioxide free. Then it is made in our own facility and third-party tested batch by batch. Every one of those choices costs more than the alternative, and the price reflects it. Anyone can claim quality — we publish ours.
Why 600 mg?
Because that is where the research sits. The work on nerve and cognitive support uses 600 mg a day and above, and 600 mg is the amount most commonly studied. Putting it in a single capsule means you take the studied amount without splitting a dose across the day.
Why take it on an empty stomach?
Alpha-lipoic acid absorbs better away from food. First thing in the morning suits most people. If it unsettles your stomach, take it with a small meal — slightly less absorption is better than not taking it.
What makes ALA different from other antioxidants?
Two things. It works in both water-based and fat-based tissue, where most antioxidants manage one or the other. And rather than being used up when it neutralises a free radical, it helps regenerate glutathione and vitamin C so they can work again.
Does it interact with anything?
It can lower blood sugar, so speak to a clinician first if you take glucose-lowering medication. It can also compete with biotin absorption at higher intakes, so space them apart if you take both. And separate it from thyroid medication by at least four hours.
How long does a bottle last?
Sixty capsules at one a day is two months.
