ALA (Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA)) is a botanical extract derived from Synthetic; also biosynthesized in mitochondria, standardized to Alpha-Lipoic Acid (pure). With CAS registry number 1200-22-2, this ingredient belongs to the Antioxidant & Liver/Metabolic Support category of weight management actives. Unique water+lipid dual-soluble antioxidant. Activates AMPK, improves insulin sensitivity (GLUT4 translocation), recycles other antioxidants (Vitamin C, E, glutathione, CoQ10). R-ALA 300 mg/day reduces waist circumference 2.1 cm over 4 months (Kurgan study). Specifically targets abdominal fat. As a B2B manufacturer, Shaanxi Baisifu Biological Engineering Co., Ltd. supplies Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) in bulk quantities with full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring consistent Alpha-Lipoic Acid (pure) content and regulatory compliance for dietary supplement, functional food, and nutraceutical applications.
Standard specifications for Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) bulk supply from Baisifu:
Unique water+lipid dual-soluble antioxidant. Activates AMPK, improves insulin sensitivity (GLUT4 translocation), recycles other antioxidants (Vitamin C, E, glutathione, CoQ10). R-ALA 300 mg/day reduces waist circumference 2.1 cm over 4 months (Kurgan study). Specifically targets abdominal fat.
Level II. Kurgan et al. showed R-ALA 300 mg/day significantly reduced waist circumference and abdominal fat. Weight loss modest ~1 kg over 4 months but abdominal fat specificity valuable.
Very safe at 300-600 mg/day. FDA approved for diabetic neuropathy treatment in Germany (600 mg/day). R-ALA ~10× more potent than S-ALA. May lower blood glucose — monitor with antidiabetic meds.

• Stability data and shelf life confirmation Available forms: powder extract, oil-based softgel fill, microencapsulated powder
Minimum order: 1 kg (sample quantities available)
Lead time: 7–15 business days
Packaging: 25 kg/drum, double-layer PE bag + fiber drum, nitrogen flush available
Q1: R-ALA vs. S-ALA?
R-ALA is natural isomer with ~10× greater biological activity. S-ALA is synthetic byproduct. Premium supplements should use pure R-ALA. Standard "ALA" = 50/50 R+S mix — only half active.
Q2: Why "universal antioxidant"?
Only antioxidant soluble in both water and lipid environments. Protects every cellular compartment. Also regenerates oxidized Vitamin C, E, glutathione, CoQ10 — recycling entire antioxidant network.
For complementary weight management formulations, consider combining Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) with: CoQ10, Berberine, Curcumin, Astaxanthin. Multi-ingredient stacks targeting different mechanisms (lipase inhibition, AMPK activation, thermogenesis, appetite suppression) produce synergistic effects superior to single-ingredient products.
