ALAmax CR by XYMOGEN

XYMOGEN ALAmax CR is for adults who want a steady daily dose of alpha-lipoic acid in a controlled-release tablet. Each tablet pairs 600 mg of alpha-lipoic acid with 450 mcg of biotin, and the controlled-release matrix releases the alpha-lipoic acid gradually so blood levels stay more even across the dosing interval than they would with a fast-release format.

Alpha-lipoic acid is a small molecule made in the body and found in foods like spinach, broccoli, and organ meats. It is both water- and fat-soluble, which lets it work as an antioxidant inside cell membranes and in the watery interior of cells. Inside mitochondria, the cell's energy-producing compartments, alpha-lipoic acid serves as a cofactor for enzymes that convert nutrients into ATP, the chemical form of energy your cells use. Biotin is a B vitamin (vitamin B7) that the body also uses as a cofactor in energy metabolism and in the building of fatty acids and amino acids.

Take one tablet 30 minutes before breakfast and one tablet 30 minutes before dinner, or as directed by your healthcare professional. Alpha-lipoic acid is absorbed better on an empty stomach, so a window of about 30 minutes ahead of a meal works well. A 120-tablet bottle is roughly a 60-day supply at two tablets per day.

If you take prescription medications, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are working with a clinician on any health condition, talk to your care team before starting and review the warnings below.
