Our take on the NOW Foods Alpha Lipoic Acid

NOW Foods Alpha Lipoic Acid is a capsule supplement of alpha lipoic acid, an antioxidant the body makes in small amounts and also gets from foods like spinach and red meat. NOW sells it in several strengths, most commonly 600 mg, marketed for blood sugar support and antioxidant protection. At $19.99 at Target as of November 4, 2026, the price sits at the low end of what this line typically costs across stores.
