The Science
The science behind your R-ALA
Clinically studied. Prescribed in Germany since 1966.
Not feeling it yet? That’s normal. R-ALA takes a little time to do its work. Here’s what the clinical trials found, and what it means for you.
Show me the studies- ✓600mg a day, the dose used in 3 landmark clinical trials
- ✓Prescribed by German doctors since 1966
- ✓Pure R-form, stabilized and third-party tested
How the studies worked
Real trials. Real patients.
Not marketing claims. Three major clinical trials at universities across the US, Canada and Europe.
Every day
The same daily dose of alpha lipoic acid that’s in your R-ALA.
Double-blind
Neither the patients nor the researchers knew who got what. No wishful thinking.
Of patients
Hundreds of patients took part across the three trials.
The longest study
The NATHAN 1 study followed its patients for four full years.
The results
What the trials found
of patients reported meaningful improvement
In a double-blind clinical trial, 82.5% of patients taking 600mg of ALA daily reported meaningful improvement in neuropathic symptoms.
More than 8 out of 10 patients on 600mg a day.
ALADIN I, double-blind clinical trial, 600mg of alpha lipoic acid daily.
until improvement showed up
In the clinical trials, improvement showed up after 3 to 5 weeks of taking it by mouth. That’s why the first few weeks can feel quiet.
If you’re in your first weeks, you’re right on schedule.
Oral alpha lipoic acid, 600mg daily.
of 600mg, every single day
In the NATHAN 1 study, patients took 600mg every single day for four years, and the progression of their neuropathy was stopped.
Nobody in that study was judged after three weeks.

What this means for you
Great results take consistency
Your body doesn’t store R-ALA. It doesn’t build up like a vitamin you can bank. It works while you keep taking it, every day. That’s the whole reason your subscription exists: so you never run out.
The building phase
It works quietly from day one. Around day 16 or 17, most people feel the first real change. Then the protection stacks up, week after week.
Your new normal
Quieter nights. More good days. And it holds as long as you keep taking it. Stop, and it comes back.
Why the R-form matters
Only one form fits
Most alpha lipoic acid sold in the US is a 50/50 mix of two mirror-image forms. Only the R-form is the one your nerve cells recognize. The other half competes for the same spots and can get in the way.
Inside your nerve cells, R-ALA works as an antioxidant and helps recharge the body’s own antioxidants, like vitamin C, vitamin E, glutathione and CoQ10. That’s why your R-ALA is pure R-form, stabilized, at 600mg.
Half of every capsule is the form your nerve cells don’t use.
Stabilized, single ingredient, third-party tested.
The facts
60 years of medical use
Prescribed in Germany
In Germany, doctors have prescribed alpha lipoic acid since 1966. It’s backed by real clinical trials and a long track record, not by a trend.
What’s inside, what’s not
Inside
600mg of stabilized R-alpha lipoic acid, pure R-form, in a slow-release capsule. One ingredient. No blends, nothing hidden.
Left out
GMO-free and gluten-free.
Tested
Lab tested by a third party, so you know what’s in the bottle.
Give it the time the studies did
Stay on track
Most people stop right before it gets good. Keep your subscription going, and if your timing doesn’t fit, change how often it comes instead of stopping.
