“The R-form was the bit I'd been missing.”
I'd bought the cheap version twice without ever checking which form it was. Reading the label properly this time is what made me switch.

How do I take it?
Two softgels a day with a glass of water, preferably with a meal. Taking them with food is the simplest way to keep to it and is how this form is usually taken.
What's the difference from regular alpha lipoic acid?
Most of the shelf is a racemic mix, half R-form and half S-form. This is the R-(+) form only, with no S-isomer, which is the form the body makes itself.
Who should check before taking it?
Not for use if you are pregnant or nursing. Not for children. Consult your healthcare professional before use if you are taking anything else daily, and read the warnings on the label before your first softgel.
What if it's not for me?

How people actually take it.
Reviews reflect individual experiences. Individual results may vary.
“It goes down with breakfast and that's that.”
The dry capsule I had before repeated on me most of the morning. A softgel with food sits completely differently for me.
VERIFIED CUSTOMER
“Two a day, no measuring, no powder.”
I'd been avoiding this whole category because the last one was a scoop into water. Two softgels with lunch is something I can keep up with.
VERIFIED CUSTOMER
“The panel tells you what's actually in it.”
Half the bottles on this shelf just say alpha lipoic acid and leave it there. I wanted to see the form and the amount printed on the label.

FAQ
Everything you need to know before you start.
How do I take it?
Two softgels a day with a glass of water, preferably with a meal. Taking them with food rather than on an empty stomach is how this form is usually taken, and pinning them to a meal you never skip is the easiest way to keep to it.
What's the difference between R-form and regular alpha lipoic acid?
Most of what's on the shelf is a racemic mix: half R-(+) form and half S-form, made that way because it's cheaper to produce. This is the R-(+) form only, with no S-isomer, which is the form the body makes itself. That's a statement about what's in the softgel, not a promise about what it will do.
How many milligrams are in a serving?
The amount per serving is printed on the Supplement Facts panel on the bottle. We don't put a figure in our marketing that isn't on that panel. In a category where the number on the front of the bottle is the whole comparison, we'd rather point you at the label than round one up.
Why a coconut oil softgel, and will it repeat on me?
Dry capsules are the most common complaint in this category, and a softgel suspended in coconut oil is a straightforward answer to it. Taking them with a meal helps too. It's a formulation choice, and how it sits will still vary from person to person.
Does it contain biotin?
No, and it's worth saying rather than leaving you to notice. Long-term use of alpha lipoic acid is associated with lower biotin levels, and some brands in this category add biotin to their formula for that reason. This one doesn't. If you plan to take it for an extended period, that's worth raising with your healthcare professional.
Who should check before taking it?
Consult your healthcare professional before use if you are taking anything else daily or planning to take it for an extended period, and read all warnings printed on the label before your first softgel. Not for use if you are pregnant or nursing, and not for children. Discontinue use if a reaction occurs.
What if it's not for me?
You have 30 days from delivery to try it. Not for you? Email our support and we'll refund you in full, no questions and no return required.
