Science-Backed Ingredients

Alpha-lipoic acid not only enhances mitochondrial function to boost cellular energy, but also neutralizes free radicals to expedite the wound recovery process.

Oxidative stress and inflammation can delay the wound healing process, leaving patients vulnerable to infection, tearing, and noticeable scarring. With rich antioxidants, alpha-lipoic acid lessens the risk that these complications will hinder new tissue formation.

A hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy study measured the effects of alpha-lipoic acid on patients with chronic wounds. The increased levels of antioxidants were shown to accelerate healing by inhibiting oxidative damage and reducing inflammation.1

In a separate study, a 100-person case group was given alpha-lipoic acid for 7 days. The results were compared to a control group of the same size. The study revealed faster wound healing with less inflammation for the case group with negligible side effects.2

In an in vitro study of wound healing in intestinal epithelial cells, alpha-lipoic acid was shown to have antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects that accelerated repair of cellular injury.3

Furthermore, a scientific analysis of using neuropathic pain found multiple clinical studies that showed a reduction of neuropathic pain following alpha-lipoic acid supplementation. These effects were thought to be primarily due to a reduction of oxidative stress inside nerve cells.4 This powerful antioxidant activity of alpha-lipoic acid helps facilitate healing in other tissues as well.

  • What is alpha-lipoic acid?

    Alpha-lipoic acid, or ALA, is a naturally occurring antioxidant found in every cell. Our wound healing supplement includes 650 mg of ALA in two capsules per serving.

  • Should I take ALA for my wound?

    ALA is a trusted supplement for cuts, gashes, burns, and other wounds, supporting the healing process through a blend of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.

  • Is ALA safe?

    While we always recommend speaking with a medical professional before taking any supplement, ALA is generally safe for most people including those with new or chronic wounds

  • What is the best way to supplement ALA?

    We recommend taking ALA as an oral dietary supplement. By taking our capsules directly after a meal, you can support overall cellular health while mitigating oxidative damage.

  • What are the wound healing benefits of ALA?

    By supplementing ALA, you can build more resilient repair tissue, keep inflammation under control, lessen scarring, and minimize discomfort throughout the healing process.
