What is Ácido Alfa-Lipoico (ALA) 500mg?

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) 500mg by EssentialSeries is a food supplement in vegetable capsules made from Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) and vitamin E.

Alpha-lipoic acid can also be found as lipoic acid or thioctic acid, referred to in IUPAC nomenclature as 5-(dithiolane-3-yl)pentanoic acid.

Alpha-lipoic acid isn't derived from animal sources, so it is 100% suitable for vegan diets.

“Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a naturally occurring micronutrient, and is synthesised in small amounts by plants and animals (including humans) [...] It can be found in foods such as offal, spinach, broccoli, peas, Brussels sprouts and rice bran (in small amounts).” (NCIt, 2020).

What does Alpha Lipoic Acid do?

The ALA formula by HSN has been supplemented with a high amount of natural vitamin E in the form of D-Alpha-Tocopheryl acid succinate.

Vitamin E

• Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative stress.
