Frequently Asked Questions
What are Alpha-lipoic Acid (ALA) supplements for?
Pronunciation: AL fa lye POE ik AS id
ALA is a naturally occurring antioxidant, meaning it helps protect the body against damage from free radicals.
It's found in every cell and plays a role in energy production in the mitochondria. ALA is famous for it's support of nerve pain (neuropathy), and conditions related to oxidative stress.
Can I take Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) supplements with other medications?
ALA is generally regarded as safe to take with other supplements, however, ALA can potentially lower blood sugar levels so taking too many supplements or medications that lower blood sugar might increase the risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Your doctor may need to monitor your blood sugar more closely and potentially adjust your intake.
Thyroid medications: If you are taking thyroid medications, check with your doctor before taking ALA, as they may need to monitor your hormone levels.
Is Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) supplements safe for long-term use?
When taken by mouth: Alpha-lipoic acid is possibly safe for most adults when taken for up to 4 years. It is usually well-tolerated.
Whether you are treated by a medical doctor or a practitioner trained in the use of natural medicines/supplements, make sure all your healthcare providers know about all of your medical conditions and treatments.
Breast-feeding: There isn't enough reliable information to know if Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) supplements are safe to use when breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use or seek medical advice.
Children: Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) supplements are possibly safe in children aged 10-17 years when taken by mouth in doses up to 600 mg daily for 3 months. But it is possibly unsafe for children to take large amounts of alpha-lipoic acid by mouth. Do not give any herbal/health supplement to a child without the advice of a doctor.
Surgery: Alpha-lipoic acid can decrease blood sugar levels. Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) supplements might interfere with blood sugar control during and after surgery. Stop taking alpha-lipoic acid two (2) weeks before elective surgical procedures.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not use extra Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) supplements to make up the missed dose.
What are signs that I may need to add ALA to my supplement routine?
Increased Oxidative Stress: ALA's role as a powerful antioxidant means that low levels can reduce the body's ability to combat free radicals, potentially leading to cellular damage and accelerating the aging process.
Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Fatigue: ALA plays a critical role in the mitochondria, the powerhouses of our cells, which produce energy. Low levels can impair this process, leading to persistent low energy levels and fatigue.
Metabolic Imbalances: ALA plays a part in how the body processes glucose. Its deficiency might contribute to impaired insulin sensitivity, potentially affecting blood sugar regulation.
Nerve Damage and Neuropathy: ALA has neuroprotective properties. Low levels could increase the vulnerability of nerves to damage, which is a particular concern for individuals with diabetes who are prone to nerve problems. Symptoms of neuropathy can include tingling, numbness, or burning sensations in the hands and feet.
Inflammatory Response: A reduced antioxidant system due to low ALA can exacerbate inflammation, which is implicated in various conditions like cardiovascular diseases and metabolic syndrome.
Cognitive Decline: The increased oxidative stress and inflammation that can result from low ALA levels might increase the risk of cognitive impairments and neurodegenerative conditions.
Compromised Detoxification: ALA supports the liver's detoxification processes, so low levels might hinder the body's ability to effectively eliminate toxins.
