Products Description
Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) powder is a potent antioxidant and metabolic cofactor with dual solubility in water and fat, making it versatile for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic applications. Derived from octanoic acid, it exists in two forms: the natural R-lipoic acid (bioactive) and synthetic S-lipoic acid (less effective). ALA is widely used for its antioxidant properties and role in glucose metabolism, particularly in managing diabetes and neurodegenerative disorders.
Alpha Lipoic acid powder is a light yellow powdery crystal, almost odorless. The solubility in water is low, about 1 g/L (20 ° C). Soluble in 10% NaOH solution, soluble in aliphatic solvents. It is easily soluble in methanol, ethanol, chloroform, and ether.
