Other Ingredients (7)
Rice ExtractFiller
Rice-based ingredients carry risk of inorganic arsenic contamination. Vague labeling — 'rice extract' does not specify what is extracted or standardized. Used as a cheap filler with no supplemental benefit.
Natural FlavorsFlavor
Broad regulatory category of flavor constituents derived from natural sources. Composition is proprietary and not disclosed — 'Natural Flavors' can include several hundred different compounds depending on the target flavor profile, including hexane-extracted constituents and proprietary carrier solvents. 'Natural' is a regulatory definition (21 CFR §101.22), not a safety guarantee.

Microcrystalline CelluloseBinder
Plant-derived cellulose used as a binder and filler in supplements
HypromelloseCapsule
Plant-derived capsule material from cellulose
Calcium CarbonateBuffer
Common calcium salt used as a buffering agent, filler, or mineral fortification in supplements
Purified WaterSolvent
Water meeting USP specifications used as solvent/vehicle in gummies and liquids
How to Take It
Take it anytime
What's in this absorbs poorly without a fat-containing meal — take it with one.
With a meal containing fat
ALA does better on an empty stomach, but something else in this bottle needs food. Taking the whole product with a meal is the better trade — an upset stomach is why most people stop.
On the label
Take 4 capsules daily as a dietary supplement or as directed by your healthcare professional.
General guidance based on the ingredients, not a substitute for the label or your doctor.
