What to check on the label

  • Which form of the compound the label names (for CoQ10: ubiquinol or ubiquinone) and whether the milligrams refer to that form.
  • Softgel oil carriers are listed under 'other ingredients'. They are not part of the active amount.
  • Branded ingredients (Mitopure, BioPQQ and similar) should be named on the label if the brand claims them.

Amounts are per label serving as recorded in the catalog and are not a recommendation. Testing status reflects what the brand lists. Nothing here is medical advice.

How we scored this product Show the full breakdown
Dose vs. studies (50%) Why 9.0 of 10. Primary ingredient is Alpha-Lipoic Acid (evidence grade A). It delivers 600 mg, inside the studied range of 300–1200 mg. Read the rule → 9.0
Transparency (20%) Why 9.0 of 10. Earned points for public certificate of analysis and independent third-party testing and all doses disclosed. Read the rule → 9.0
Value (10%) Why 9.2 of 10. One day at the trial dose costs about $0.66. That is cheaper than average (83 of 313 by cost per effective day). Read the rule → 9.2
Formulation (10%) Why 5.0 of 10. No published absorption advantage or disadvantage on file. The default of 5 is not a criticism. Read the rule → 5.0 Default. No absorption data on file.
Safety (5%) Why 8.5 of 10. Baseline 5.0. Third-party testing adds 2.0. Public lab certificate adds 1.5. NSF, USP or Informed Choice certification adds 1.5. Active safety signal subtracts 3.0. Read the rule → 8.5
Community sentiment (5%) Why 7.0 of 10. Sentiment across 2 external review source(s) is mixed to positive. Community is a signal about daily use, not proof of effect. Read the rule → 7.0
Composite How this 8.5 is built. 0.50 × 9.0 + 0.20 × 9.0 + 0.10 × 9.2 + 0.10 × 5.0 + 0.05 × 8.5 + 0.05 × 7.0 = 8.5 out of 10. Safety caps applied after. 8.5

Evidence gates dose: the evidence grade sets the ceiling, and the dose decides how much of that ceiling the product reaches. Value = inverse of price-per-trial-dose-day. Community = mean sentiment of external reviews. Safety caps applied after weighting.

This score is our editorial judgment, not a scientific standard. We combine published evidence, dose, price, transparency, and consumer signals into one composite: this is our method, not a peer-reviewed clinical rating. A higher score means a product does better on the factors we weight, not that it is medically proven to work.

In plain language

Why this scored this way

This is the highest-scoring product on the site (9.1) because it does everything right on paper: full 600mg trial dose, tested by independent lab, public lab certificate, and $0.66/day. Alpha-lipoic acid has grade A evidence for diabetic neuropathy and solid antioxidant data. The only weakness is a thin community signal.

What drives the score up

  • Hits the full 600mg trial dose used in the major diabetic neuropathy trials.
  • Tested by independent lab with a public lab certificate, giving a quality transparency of 9.0.
  • Alpha-lipoic acid is evidence grade A, one of the highest-graded ingredients on the site.
  • At $0.66/day it's competitively priced for a well-tested product.

What drags it down

  • Community score is 6.0 (neutral) with limited review volume.
  • The product uses racemic ALA, not the more bioavailable R-ALA form.

Why you'd choose it

  • You want ALA for neuropathy, mitochondrial support, or antioxidant coverage.
  • You prioritise third-party testing and public lab certificate verification.

Why you might skip it

  • You specifically want R-ALA rather than the racemic mixture.
  • You want a product with more consumer feedback.

Important to know
Alpha-Lipoic AcidCheap 'ALA' products sell the racemic form (50% inactive). Look for 'R-ALA' or 'R-alpha-lipoic acid'. Take on empty stomach.

Editorial notes

600mg/day ALA is within the typical 300-600mg research range for neuropathy and antioxidant support. Straightforward, competitively priced single-ingredient formula.
