R-Alpha Lipoic Acid 600mg
Pure R-Form Softgels

Most alpha lipoic acid on shelves is a cheap racemic blend — a 50/50 mix of the R-form and the S-form. Your body uses the R-form. The S-form isn't just useless, it can actually compete with R for absorption.

Eluva is 100% pure R-alpha lipoic acid at 600mg per softgel — the same form and amount used in the major clinical studies. If what you tried before was a 300mg racemic capsule, you were getting roughly 150mg of what your body can use. That's a very different product.

We're not going to tell you it works overnight, because it doesn't. This isn't a painkiller that masks a signal. R-alpha lipoic acid supports your cells at the mitochondrial level, and that takes consistent, daily use.

In the published research, participants took 600mg daily for weeks to months before measurable changes appeared. Most of our customers report noticing a difference somewhere in the 3–5 week range. Some sooner, some later.

That's exactly why we offer a 90-day money-back guarantee — so you have a real window to find out if it works for you, not a rushed 30-day gamble.

In the US, most doctors aren't trained in nutritional supplements. It's not part of the standard medical curriculum. That doesn't mean the research doesn't exist — it means it doesn't land on their desk.

In Germany, R-alpha lipoic acid has been used as a prescription treatment for decades. The ALADIN, SYDNEY, and NATHAN trials — involving thousands of patients — were published in peer-reviewed journals. It's well-studied. It's just more common in European clinical practice than American.

We always recommend telling your doctor what you're taking. If they want to look into it, those trial names are a good starting point.

Many of our customers take Eluva alongside their existing medications, but please check with your doctor or pharmacist first — especially if you take:

→ Insulin or diabetes medication (alpha lipoic acid may lower blood sugar, so your dose may need adjusting)
→ Thyroid medication (take them at separate times of day)

Do not stop taking gabapentin, pregabalin, or any prescribed medication without your doctor's guidance. Stopping some of those suddenly can cause serious withdrawal effects. Eluva is a supplement — it works alongside your care, not instead of it.

The idea that nerves can never recover is common, but the science is more nuanced than that. Peripheral nerves do have the ability to regenerate — slowly, and under the right conditions. The question is whether you're giving them what they need.

R-alpha lipoic acid is one of the few antioxidants that can cross the blood-nerve barrier and reach the mitochondria inside nerve cells. It helps reduce oxidative stress — one of the key drivers of ongoing cellular damage. That's not a cure claim. It's supporting the biology that already exists in your body.

We can't promise your nerves will heal. But we can tell you that doing nothing guarantees nothing changes.

90 days, full product price refund, no questions asked.

We chose 90 days because this isn't a product that works in a weekend. You need real time to take it consistently and see how your body responds. If at the end of that period you don't feel it was worth it, email us and we'll refund you. You don't need to send anything back or explain yourself.

R-alpha lipoic acid is fat-soluble, meaning it absorbs better when paired with a fat source. The coconut oil in our softgel isn't filler — it's there to help your body actually use what you're taking.

Dry powder capsules often degrade faster and absorb less consistently. The softgel also means no chalky taste, no need to take it with a meal if you'd rather not, and it's gentle on the stomach.

No. R-alpha lipoic acid is not a nerve-signal blocker. It doesn't work the same way gabapentin or pregabalin do, so it doesn't produce drowsiness, brain fog, or weight gain.

It's an antioxidant, not a sedative. You take it in the morning and go about your day — most people forget they've taken it, which is exactly the point.
