Thioctic Acid, also referred to as alpha lipoic acid, is an antioxidant that is made by the body and is present in every one of your body cells, where it plays a pivotal role in making energy.*
A healthy body is pretty efficient at making enough thioctic acid to meet the body’s needs. While some antioxidants will only work in water (like vitamin C) or in fat (like vitamin E) due to solubility conditions, thioctic acid is both water and fat soluble, giving it the advantage of protecting all body regions and tissue types from the oxidative damage caused by free radicals. It also recharges other antioxidants to prolong their activity.*
In terms of energy production, thioctic acid is thought to reduce mitochondrial decay and boost energy output. It also functions as a co-factor in enzymes responsible for converting food into usable energy.*
In addition, thioctic acid promotes growth of liver cells, safeguards the kidneys and liver from damage caused by some chemicals found in medications, and helps to expel heavy metals from the body.*

We don’t outsource to the lowest bidder.
Guaranteed Authenticity: Every batch of Thioctic Acid is carefully sourced and undergoes rigorous testing for ID, purity, potency, and microbiology before, during, and after manufacturing.
Just Pure Ingredients: At Dr. Clark Store, we stand against adulteration. Our rigorous testing reveals that an estimated 30% of bulk supplement powders in the U.S. market contain added fillers and/or come from incorrect species or plant parts. Unlike importers who operate according to FDA 21 CFR 117 and often rely on analyses done by the manufacturer abroad, we conduct thorough tests on all incoming materials in our full-size laboratory, guaranteeing the integrity of our products.
Carrageenan and Surfactant-Free Capsules: FDA regulation 21 CFR 101.100(a)(3)(ii) allows manufacturers to avoid disclosing ingredients in food if present at “insignificant” levels. This is why "Veggie Capsules" may contain carrageenan. Dr. Clark Store ensures the use of only the finest BSE-free gelatin capsules, free from carrageenan, surfactants, and prion risks. Our dedication to purity dates back over 30 years, ensuring safety and quality in line with Dr. Hulda Clark's original vision.
No Magnesium Stearate and No Hidden Processing Aids: True to Dr. Clark's vision, we never use magnesium stearate or any toxic processing aids in our products. Our commitment to transparency means all ingredients are clearly declared on the label, offering you peace of mind and a product you can trust. Again because of FDA’s lacking regulation 21 CFR 101, many brands contain magnesium stearate without it being declared on the label.
Verifiable GMP Certification: Trust is earned, not given. That's why we back up our GMP certification claims with verifiable evidence. Partnering with VeriGMP®, a UL-certified company, we adhere to strict GMP quality systems, ensuring that each product meets the highest standards of manufacturing and quality assurance.

What is Alpha Lipoic Acid?
Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a naturally occurring antioxidant that plays a crucial role in energy metabolism. It's distinct because it is both water- and fat-soluble, allowing it to work in various parts of the body. Because of its antioxidant properties, ALA helps combat oxidative stress, which can lead to numerous health issues, making it a vital addition to any dietary supplement regimen.
Health Benefits of Alpha Lipoic Acid
One of the significant advantages of taking Alpha Lipoic Acid is its ability to support metabolic functions. It helps in converting glucose into energy, which is essential for maintaining healthy blood sugar levels. This capacity is particularly beneficial for individuals with insulin sensitivity or those seeking to manage their weight more effectively. Therefore, incorporating ALA into your daily routine can potentially enhance overall well-being.
Usage and Dosage Recommendations
When considering Alpha Lipoic Acid supplementation, it's essential to adhere to the recommended dosage, usually around 360 mg per day. However, as with any supplement, it's wise to consult with a healthcare professional before starting. This ensures you tailor the intake to your health needs and conditions. Because ALA is safe for most users, it can be smoothly integrated into your existing vitamins and supplements routine.
