Q: Can I decant the vitamins into a pill pot?

No, we recommend keeping the vitamins in their original glass jar. Our packaging is designed to protect the product quality. The glass jar, together with the desiccant and tightly sealed lid, helps prevent moisture and oxidation. Decanting into another container (like a pill pot) can expose the vitamins to air and humidity, which may cause colour changes and reduce their effectiveness.

Q: Is Alpha Lipoic Acid safe during pregnancy?

ALA is generally well tolerated and has been used in clinical studies but always check with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement during pregnancy.

Q: What makes Zita West Alpha Lipoic Acid different?

Zita West Alpha Lipoic Acid provides 400mg per capsule in a 50:50 blend of natural R-ALA and synthetic S-ALA. Isolated R-ALA is less stable on its own, so this balanced blend is chosen for its stability and consistency, ensuring you get a reliable dose every time.

Q: Can I take ALA with other supplements?

Yes, ALA can be taken with other fertility supplements. In fact, it can be more beneficial when taken alongside other antioxidants like Vitafem Boost, Vitamen Boost, and NAC. ALA helps regenerate other antioxidants in the body, enhancing their effectiveness and providing comprehensive support for your fertility health.

Q: What if I miss a dose?

If you miss a dose, simply take your next dose as usual. There's no need to double up.

Q: Are there any side effects?

ALA is generally well-tolerated, but some people may experience mild side effects such as nausea or stomach discomfort.

Q: Can I take ALA if I have thyroid problems?

There is some suggestion that ALA may affect thyroid hormone levels, so if you have thyroid problems we recommend consulting with your healthcare professional before starting.

Q: Is ALA suitable for both men and women?

Absolutely. ALA is recommended for both men and women looking to support fertility, with particular benefits for those with PMOS (PCOS).

Q: Can ALA help with PCOS?

Yes, ALA may help improve insulin sensitivity and promote ovulation, making it particularly beneficial for those with PMOS (PCOS).

Product Details

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a versatile, high-strength antioxidant that supports mitochondrial function in reproductive cells, supporting egg and sperm quality. By neutralising free radicals, ALA helps protect eggs and sperm from oxidative damage, which can accelerate cellular ageing and impair fertility. It has also been studied in the context of metabolic and hormonal health in women with PMOS (formerly known as PCOS), where oxidative stress and insulin sensitivity are known areas of research interest.

ALA is both water and fat soluble, allowing it to work throughout the body, where it also supports mitochondrial function, ensuring reproductive cells have the energy they need for normal development, especially valuable for those undergoing assisted conception treatments such as IVF.

Who Is This For?

Alpha Lipoic Acid is designed for:

Women and men trying to conceive who want additional antioxidant support
Those with PMOS (PCOS) looking to support insulin sensitivity and ovulation
Those preparing for assisted fertility treatments such as IVF

How To Take

Take one capsule daily with food to enhance absorption and minimise any mild stomach upset.

We recommend taking Alpha Lipoic Acid for at least three months before trying to conceive, matching both egg maturation and sperm production cycles.

Zita West packaging has been designed to maintain product quality. We recommend keeping all capsules in their original jars, instead of decanting into a pill pot. Store them somewhere cool, dry and away from direct sunlight in temperatures below 25°C.

Ingredients

Ingredients: Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (Vegetable Capsule Shell), Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA), Brown Rice Flour.

Caution: Keep out of the reach and sight of children and do not exceed recommended daily intake. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet. Consult your healthcare professional before taking if you are under medical supervision or on medication.
