Hello, this is Yanggaja. I'm finally here to share the results of the product review after investigating a whopping 504 products. As you've been eagerly waiting since watching the Alphalee Busan video, I hope this will be helpful to you, considering the tremendous amount of time and effort that went into this. I will now explain how to combine the selected products for consumption, so please watch until the end. Now, let me introduce the top 3 products. The 1st place goes to Product D, which contains 600mg of alpha-lipoic acid in one capsule, with 300mg for the eye type. You can consume one capsule for 238 won. The 2nd place goes to Product S, with 600mg of alpha-lipoic acid in one capsule, 300mg for the R type. You can consume one capsule for 264 won. The 3rd place goes to Product N4, where one capsule is currently available on iHerb.

You can get a product for 286 won with a 25% discount. Alpha-lipoic acid is considered expensive, but the price is reasonable than you think. Additionally, if I recommend another product, it's L4, which is the best cost-effective product among those composed only of alpha-lipoic acid. It contains 240mg in one capsule in an AL form, and you can buy one for 701 won. It uses raw materials from a raw material supplier famous for alpha-lipoic acid. Although the price is about 3.5 times higher than regular alpha-lipoic acid, it stabilizes the R form, improving absorption about 4 times more than regular alpha-lipoic acid and about 40 times more than regular R-lipoic acid. More information about these products will be left in the More section of the video and in the pinned comments. If you are curious, please check it out. Now, I will explain why these products are ranked 123rd. First of all, if you are watching the video without subscribing yet, please subscribe. I will continue to work hard to analyze and provide you with this kind of information.

I will respond to your question. Now, I will explain the reasons directly. If you look at the table, after investigating the total capsule quantity and price of 54 alpha-lipoic acid products, I will carefully check the price and content per capsule. An important point here is that when you search for products, there are products labeled as alpha-lipoic acid and products labeled as R-lipoic acid. The products labeled as alpha-lipoic acid are products with a mix of R-form and S-form, while the products labeled as R-lipoic acid are products where only the R-form is separately refined and contained. However, since it is known that the R-form is what produces beneficial effects in our bodies, I calculated the amount of each R-form per capsule separately for each product. Then, I lined up the 54 products from the cheapest to the most expensive after calculating the cost of consuming 300mg in this R form.

The most cost-effective product is the one right in front of you. The first-place product is Jisa's product, Alpha-lipoic acid, which contains both type A and type S in one capsule. It contains 600mg per capsule, which means 300mg per pill, and you can take it for 238 won. The second-place product is C4, also in the same form and the same amount as the first-place product. It contains 264 won per pill. However, this product uses tapioca starch capsules, and additives such as rice flour and rice bran are used, so it does not contain silicon dioxide. In other words, compared to other products, this product has become slightly cleaner in terms of additives. Therefore, if you want to eat a product with fewer synthetic additives, it would be good to try using the Jisa product, even though it may be a bit more expensive per pill. The third-place product is N4, which was selected as the fifth. N4 turns into a pill in the stomach slowly.

I'm a Western-style refined man who is melting. After taking alpha-lipoic acid, if you see an increase in blood concentration, after taking 600mg of alpha-lipoic acid, you can see that it reaches its maximum concentration within about 1 hour and then rapidly decreases. Looking at this data, you can think that people disappear quickly and vanish, but it's not all gone. The alpha-lipoic acid absorbed into the blood spreads to the liver, various tissues, and cells, causing the blood concentration to decrease. In other words, it's not all excreted, but rather used elsewhere in the body. Some are not used and are excreted. If you take the first and second products I mentioned earlier, like this picture, it peaks in 1 hour and spreads to each tissue within 3 hours, where alpha-lipoic acid is used. So, if you take the third-ranked N4, which melts slowly, how does it happen?

Would it be different? Probably, because it is slowly released in the stomach, even if you take a capsule of the same volume, the maximum concentration will be lower than when taking a regular capsule. However, absorption will continue until all the components are completely dissolved, so although the concentration is lower than the maximum, it has the advantage of maintaining a certain level of concentration for a long time. Therefore, these capsules are recommended for those who only take them once a day and for those who cannot eat for about 3 to 4 hours after taking the capsule. This is because, due to the slow absorption of alpha-lipoic acid, it is recommended to take it on an empty stomach. For the previous first and second place products, you should take them 30 minutes to 1 hour before a meal. However, since this product dissolves slowly in the intestines and is slowly absorbed, if you eat food in between, the absorption rate will decrease. That's why these days, people tend to skip breakfast.

People often take it because many people take it in the morning. I think this N company product is a cost-effective product to take one pill in the morning. Lastly, I recommend one more product with only Aihyun. I recommend the Elsa product among products containing only Aihyun. The price is 3.5 times more expensive than the 1st and 2nd places, but it is good that it is all composed of Aihyun. Aihyun is a natural form that is well utilized in our body. Some people may prefer to take only Aihyun even if it costs a little more. For those people, this L company product is the best. This product used raw materials that stabilized Aihyun through research by a raw material company famous for alpha-lipoic acid. It is said that if it is separated from S-type, it is very unstable physically. So, even a slight increase in temperature makes the powder sticky and deteriorates.

Characteristics can be a problem when making pills or even when putting them in capsules. If you look at the file, I have marked products made up of general aliphatic acids in blue. These products are ones with a high risk of deterioration. On the contrary, products using stable raw materials from the same R acid supplier are marked in red. It is better to consume these products. Additionally, the second good point is that according to the data from the raw material supplier, the absorption rate has increased up to 40 times compared to products with only the existing pill form, and up to 4 times compared to general alpha lipoic acid products. Therefore, although the price of one capsule is about 3.5 times higher, the amount absorbed is about 4 times higher, so in the end, it can be considered similar. Among these improved products, as you can see, the Elsa product has the best price. Only some products contain R-lipoic acid.

You can see something with better cost-effectiveness than the product. The price of the capsule is 701 won per pill, but it absorbs about four times better than the top 3 products, so if you want to avoid unnecessary ingredients and only give it to your child, you can take this. Now, I've explained about 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, as well as the extended release type and the child-only type. So if you ask me what to take, I would suggest the following. Firstly, for those who need to actively improve weight loss or inflammation, I recommend taking the 1st or 2nd place D or C4 products twice a day, about 1 hour before meals. Because the liver mainly captures alpha-lipoic acid, it is recommended to take a high amount at once, allowing the liver to take what it needs and send the rest to other tissues. I recommended taking it twice a day in the morning and evening.

If you eat 600, as you can see in this picture, you can see the metabolic product that can be considered as the garbage of alpha-lipoic acid coming out from 7 hours to 10 hours. In other words, after the alpha-lipoic acid you ate spreads to each tissue, from 7 hours to 10 hours, metabolic products come out while using it. So, even if you take a high dose once, it seems that you can supply enough steadily with a morning and evening interval. Therefore, for those who have a problem with a high concentration twice a day, I think it's best to see the effect of taking what you wanted to calculate. Next, for those who can only take it once a day and are people who don't eat breakfast, or for those who want to see the most cost-effective effect when calculating the total cost per day, I recommend taking one pill of N product on an empty stomach in the morning. It melts late as an extended-release tablet.

Because you won't be eating a meal, you won't be affected by long absorption times. Also, since you only take one pill a day, it is ultimately the most cost-effective way. Lastly, if you don't like unnecessary eating and prefer good absorption even if it costs a bit more, and if you want to consume only iron, I recommend the Elsa product. The ingredients used in it have high absorption rates, so it may be a very effective product despite being expensive. You can take one pill one hour before a meal. Now, have you decided what to consume? If you have, I will also inform you of some points to be aware of. First, please do not take mineral products such as iron, magnesium, and calcium at the same time. Alpha-lipoic acid can form inert compounds when combined with metal ions, which can lead to expensive waste. Second, there are overlapping absorption pathways with the B-vitamins.

So, it's best not to eat Bi-Gung and drink at the same time when you eat, but it's good to have about a one-hour interval. The third is side effects. It is known to be a component without side effects when taken for a long time at the general dosage, but reflux has been reported with high-dose intake. Therefore, for those with poor stomach conditions, it is recommended to take it afterwards, or some people say that extended-release tablets are less irritating to the stomach, so please consider that. Also, reported side effects include diarrhea, dizziness, fatigue, flushing, high blood sugar, insomnia, and convulsions, and there are stories of a slightly different smell in the urine. And because it contains sulfur compounds, nausea or itching may also occur. Therefore, when you first take it, like with other supplements, try one first, and after checking for any hypersensitivity reactions for a few days, you can increase the dosage to two tablets.

I recommend trying it. If such hypersensitive reactions occur, please try taking it after a meal as well. Additionally, as it can lower blood sugar, for those taking blood sugar medication, it would be good to consult with your healthcare provider before taking it. Some people say that it doesn't help with weight loss. These results are from experiments targeting overweight and obese individuals, so first check if you are overweight or obese. If you were expecting such effects, it would be good. It's usually not easy to become very slim, and weight loss is just a small effect. In fact, alpha-lipoic acid has many positive effects as an antioxidant, so I hope you consider including alpha-lipoic acid in your nutritional supplement. Finally, after purchasing, because alpha-lipoic acid is sensitive to moisture and heat.

It would be good to store it in a dry place with little temperature change and it would be helpful to put in a dehumidifier. Today, I compared and analyzed 54 types of alpha-lipoic acid products. Did it help you? If it was helpful, please subscribe and like. I will come back with another review next time. Thank you.

Top 3 Alpha-Lipoic Acid Products and Their Benefits

Product D is ranked 1st, containing 600mg of alpha-lipoic acid in one capsule for 238 won.

Product S is in 2nd place, offering 600mg of alpha-lipoic acid for 264 won per capsule.

The 3rd place goes to Product N4, available on iHerb for 286 won with a 25% discount, also containing alpha-lipoic acid.

These products are ranked based on the amount of R-form alpha-lipoic acid per capsule, which is known for its beneficial effects on the body.

Jisa's alpha-lipoic acid capsule offers 600mg per pill at 238 won, while C4 provides the same amount at a lower cost of 264 won, but with additional synthetic additives.

N4, ranking third, has a slower release in the stomach, resulting in a lower maximum concentration but a more sustained level of absorption, making it suitable for those who can only take the capsule once a day and need to do so on an empty stomach.

The N company offers a cost-effective pill to take in the morning, while the Elsa product, containing only Aihyun, is pricier but offers great value.

The Elsa product, made with stable raw materials, has a higher absorption rate and is the best choice for those wanting to avoid unnecessary ingredients.

It is recommended to take the D or C4 products from the 1st or 2nd place twice a day, for those needing to improve weight loss or inflammation.

The Optimal Dosage and Timing for Alpha-Lipoic Acid Supplementation

Metabolic products of alpha-lipoic acid are expelled from the body 7 to 10 hours after consumption, suggesting that splitting the dose into morning and evening intervals may provide a steady supply.

Taking a single extended-release tablet of N product on an empty stomach in the morning can be the most cost-effective approach for those unable to take it twice a day or who prefer not to eat breakfast.

Alternatively, the Elsa product, with high absorption rates, can be taken one hour before a meal for those prioritizing absorption and willing to pay more for effectiveness.

It is important to avoid taking alpha-lipoic acid with mineral products, allow an interval when consuming B-vitamins, and be mindful of potential side effects, starting with a low dosage and increasing gradually.

Try taking alpha-lipoic acid after a meal to avoid hypersensitive reactions.

Consult a healthcare provider if you're taking blood sugar medication, as it can lower blood sugar.

It may not have a significant impact on weight loss, but it offers many positive effects as an antioxidant.

Remember to store alpha-lipoic acid in a dry place with stable temperature to prevent moisture and heat damage.
