Max Potency R-Alpha Lipoic Acid
- Restores insulin sensitivity
- Stabilizes blood sugar levels
- Supports nerve comfort
- Helps reduce energy crashes and cravings
What It Is
R-ALA is a natural antioxidant the body already makes in every cell, but only in small amounts.
In Germany, it has been prescribed at 600mg a day since 1966 for people with diabetes.
Sooma uses the same 600mg dose in coconut oil for better absorption. It helps lower the oxidative stress that keeps cells from responding to insulin, helping lower blood sugar and protect the nerves and small blood vessels from oxidative damage.
What's Inside
600mg pure R-Alpha Lipoic Acid per serving (2 softgels), suspended in coconut oil for higer absorption. No S-isomer, no fillers.
How To Take
1 softgel in the morning and 1 in the evening, before meals.
Prefer one dose? Take both together before breakfast.

Sleeping Through Again
"I have diabetic neuropathy and the burning in my feet kept me up most nights. About a month in I realized I'd slept straight through three nights that week. My feet aren't perfect but it's a different life."

My Morning Number Moved
"Type 2 for 6 years, and my morning number never seemed to budge no matter what I ate. A few weeks in it started coming down, and it’s stayed there. My doctor asked what I changed.”

Works With My Meds
"I'm on metformin and didn't want to add another prescription. I asked my doctor, got the okay, and take these alongside it. Two months in with zero issues, and my readings are steadier than they were on metformin alone."

No More 3pm Crash
"I bought it for my blood sugar and didn't expect the energy part. I used to need a nap after lunch every day. Now I get through the afternoon fine and the sugar cravings at night are mostly gone."

THE PROBLEM
Why Blood Sugar Won’t Come Down
High blood sugar isn’t a problem of eating too much sugar. It’s a problem of the cells not letting sugar in. Here’s the chain, step by step.
1 Oxidative Stress
Free radicals are unstable molecules that damage cells from the inside, like rust, including the insulin receptors. They build up with years of blood sugar spikes after meals, fat around the middle, and age.
Evans JL et al. Endocrine Reviews, 2002.
2 Insulin Resistance
Every cell has insulin receptors, like doors, that open to let sugar in. Once damaged, they stop responding to insulin. The muscles stop taking sugar in, so it stays in the blood.
DeFronzo RA. Diabetes, 2009.
3 The Cells Starve
Sugar can’t get into the cells, so they run out of fuel even though the blood is full of it: tired in the morning and at night, the afternoon crash, cravings at night, brain fog.
Fritschi C, Quinn L. Journal of Psychosomatic Research, 2010.
4 The Damage Starts
With sugar stuck in the blood, the morning number and the A1C keep going up. The extra sugar ends up in the tissues that can’t keep it out: the nerves, eyes and kidneys. That’s felt first as burning, tingling or numbness in the feet.
Pop-Busui R et al. Diabetes Care, 2017.
THE SOLUTION
How It Works. Backed by Science.
At 600mg a day, R-ALA lowers oxidative stress inside the cells, helping them turn blood sugar into energy and protecting the nerves and small vessels from damage.
Blood Sugar Support
Supports healthy blood sugar levels
By lowering cellular oxidative stress and mimicking insulin, R-ALA helps muscle cells respond to insulin again and take in sugar from the blood for energy.
Nerve & Vessel Protection
Helps protect nerves and small blood vessels from oxidative damage
Nerves and small blood vessels, including those in the eyes and kidneys, are especially sensitive to oxidative stress. R-ALA neutralizes free radicals inside these tissues, helping protect them from damage.
Trusted for Decades
Made by the body, used in medicine
ALA is made naturally by the body, but only in small amounts. Doctors in Germany have prescribed it for diabetic nerve symptoms since the 1960s.
Better Absorption
Softgel in coconut oil
ALA dissolves in fat. The coconut oil carries it into the bloodstream, instead of letting it pass through the way a dry powder capsule does.
HOW TO TAKE
Simple To Stick With
One softgel, twice a day
One In The Morning
Take your first softgel before breakfast. It's absorbed best on an empty stomach and supports you through the day.
One In The Evening
Take your second softgel before dinner. This keeps support steady through the night, when blood sugar and nerve discomfort tend to rise.
Track It
Once a week, note your morning reading or how your nights feel. Small changes are easier to see when you write them down.
We recommend splitting it into two doses for steadier support through the day and night, but taking both softgels together once a day works too.
TIMELINE
Your First 12 Weeks
The results come from taking it every day, not from a single dose. Here's what most people notice, and when.
Steadier Days.
Many notice more even energy after meals and fewer sugar cravings at night. Some say their feet feel a little calmer in bed.
Things Start Shifting.
Many start seeing their morning readings move in the right direction. The tingling and pins and needles often start to quiet down.
A New Normal.
Numbers start to look consistent, not a lucky day. Many find they can walk and stand longer without their feet holding them back.
The Check-Up.
Twelve weeks is about how long an A1C takes to reflect the change. Many walk into their next check-up with steadier numbers, more energy and calmer nights.
We spend a lot of time on blood sugar readings, and much less on the oxidative damage that high sugar creates throughout the body. R-ALA has been prescribed in Germany since 1966 for its ability to strengthen the body’s own antioxidant defense and help cells use sugar for energy again.

FAQ
Still Have Questions?
What's in this formula, and how will it affect me?
Each softgel has 300mg of pure R-Alpha Lipoic Acid, the natural form the body makes and uses. It’s suspended in coconut oil for better absorption. Two softgels a day give you the 600mg used in clinical studies.
R-ALA works as an antioxidant, helping cells take sugar out of the blood for energy.
Taken daily, many people see their morning numbers improve over the following weeks, along with more steady energy and nerve support.
When will I see results?
It varies. Many people feel steadier energy within the first two weeks, and many notice changes in their morning readings and foot comfort around weeks 4 to 6. We recommend 12 weeks for the full effect.
Why R-ALA instead of regular ALA?
Most ALA is racemic, meaning half is the R-form your body uses and half is the synthetic S-form. Pure R-ALA has about twice the bioavailability, and the softgel keeps it stable where dry powder breaks down.
Is this formula safe?
Yes. R-ALA is a natural compound the body already makes, with over 60 years of research behind it. Many people take it alongside their daily medications and supplements.
That said, if you’re pregnant, nursing, or taking prescription medication, check with your healthcare provider, as you should with any new supplement.
How fast is shipping?
Orders ship within 24 hours with tracking. Most orders arrive within 6 to 10 business days.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Most customers notice a difference within the first few weeks. But every body is different, so we give you 90 days to try it. If you're not happy, contact us at support@soomahealth.com and we'll refund you.
