What is in Alpha Lipoic Acid?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 1 vegetarian capsule. The capsule beside an amount places it among every product in the NIH database that lists the same ingredient: the bar is the middle half of their amounts, the line in it the median, the whiskers the 10th and 90th percentiles; the green tick is the FDA Daily Value and the red dashed tick the adult upper limit (IOM).

|---|---|---|---|
| R-Alpha-Lipoic Acid Sodium | 300 mg | Higher than 87% of 2,407 products listing alpha lipoic acid (median 50 mg). |
