Solgar Alpha Lipoic Acid 60mg (code 1548) is a dietary supplement providing 60mg of alpha lipoic acid per phytocapsule. It is aimed at adults seeking a targeted intake of alpha lipoic acid within a daily supplement routine, in a form suitable for vegans and free from common allergens.
Alpha lipoic acid is an organic sulfur compound naturally produced in small quantities by the human body and also found in foods such as spinach, broccoli, and offal. A distinctive feature of it is that it is both water-soluble and fat-soluble, which sets it apart from many other nutrients. In dietary supplements, it is used in a standardized dose, here 60mg, so that the daily intake is consistent and predictable.
Alpha lipoic acid currently does not have an approved health claim by the EFSA under Regulation (EC) 1924/2006. Therefore, the page does not attribute any preventive, therapeutic, or disease improvement action to the product, nor does it make any claims of sugar regulation or anti-aging. The following information is descriptive and pertains to the composition and form of the product.
The product is available in phytocapsules, making it suitable for vegans. It is free from sugar, salt, starch, yeast, wheat, soy, gluten, and dairy products, a feature that caters to those avoiding specific allergens or following a special diet. The 30 phytocapsule pack covers a period ranging from two weeks to one month, depending on the intake.
The form and composition are aimed at adults who are already familiar with alpha lipoic acid and desire a pure formulation without unnecessary variants, from a recognized company. It is not intended for children, pregnant or breastfeeding women without a doctor's recommendation.
Alpha lipoic acid is sensitive to heat and light, so storing it in a cool and shady place helps maintain the quality of the capsule until the end of the package.
