Can Cosmetics-Grade Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) Powder be used in Food Supplements?
Question
I am interested in using Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) (Powder) (ID: 185). Can this specific product, which is Cosmetics-grade, be used for manufacturing food supplements or for internal consumption? If not, what is the recommended Food-grade alternative for dietary supplements?
Answer
The specific product you selected, Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) (Powder) (ID: 185), is a Cosmetics-grade ingredient intended for external use in skincare products like serums, lotions, and creams. It is not suitable for use in food supplements or for consumption.
However, Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a popular ingredient in food supplements. If you wish to use ALA for internal consumption, you must use a Food-grade product.
We recommend the following equivalent product for food supplements:
- Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA, Powder) (ID: 8894): This is a food-grade powder suitable for use in dietary supplements. It is known for its strong antioxidant properties, support for glucose metabolism, and benefits for nervous system and cardiovascular health.
Please ensure you always use the correct grade of ingredient for your intended application (Cosmetics-grade for external use, Food-grade for internal consumption).
