Alpha-Lipoic Acid
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a unique antioxidant cofactor, both water-soluble and fat-soluble, that works within every cell in the body. It helps regenerate other antioxidants (vitamin C, vitamin E, glutathione) and supports mitochondrial energy metabolism.
At Herba Barona, your supplements shop in Paris’s 12th arrondissement, you’ll find alpha-lipoic acid in its classic form or as the R-isomer (the most biologically active form), from the Dynveo and Doctor’s Best brands.
The alpha-lipoic acid brands at Herba Barona
We’ve selected two leading manufacturers for this molecule. Dynveo offers sodium R-lipoate, a stabilised form that is more bioavailable than racemic alpha-lipoic acid. Doctor’s Best sells alpha-lipoic acid in high dosages (300 mg, 600 mg) at excellent value for money. All our products are available in-store at 10 rue Théophile Roussel, Paris 12th, or via free Click & Collect / delivery across France and Europe from €59.
How to choose your alpha-lipoic acid in Paris
Alpha-lipoic acid comes in two forms: the racemic form (a mix of R and S, less expensive) and the pure R form (R-alpha-lipoic acid or sodium R-lipoate), which is significantly better absorbed. For daily use and to get the most out of its effects on glucose metabolism and antioxidant regeneration, the R form is the better choice. The typical dosage ranges from 100 to 600 mg per day, best taken on an empty stomach to aid absorption. In our Paris 12th shop, our team will help you choose the form and dosage best suited to your goal.
