Solgar Alpha Lipoic Acid 200mg 50 Vegetable Capsules is a product from Solgar, categorized under Longevity & cellular health in the Supplements vertical. It is scored on the Vyvata Scoring Framework — an independent 6-dimension rubric applied uniformly to every product Vyvata lists.

68/100 overall — Standard tier (50–69 band). Per-dimension breakdown: Manufacturing 78, Safety 72, Evidence 70, Formulation 70, Transparency 65, Sustainability 55. Scored as of 2026-08-24.

Solgar Alpha Lipoic Acid 200mg vegetable capsule. ALA has real evidence for diabetic peripheral neuropathy (Ziegler 2011 meta-analysis at 600mg/day IV or oral), insulin sensitivity modestly, and antioxidant regeneration (glutathione, vitamin C, CoQ10 recycling). Solgar practitioner-grade quality. Held below Verified by (1) 200mg is below the therapeutic dose range for diabetic neuropathy (600mg/day is standard, split into 200mg 3×/day) — practical for that use case if multiple caps daily; (2) R-lipoic acid vs mixed R/S racemic form not specified — R-form is the biologically active isomer with better bioavailability; standard ALA is racemic; (3) no third-party COA. Would move to Verified 70+ with R-lipoic form disclosure OR higher-dose SKU + third-party COA.

Strongest: Manufacturing at 78/100 (third-party testing, GMP compliance, and facility audit status) and Safety at 72/100 (adverse-event profile, interaction risk, and dose ceiling). Weakest: Transparency at 65/100 (dose disclosure vs proprietary blends, and honesty of marketing claims) and Sustainability at 55/100 (sourcing practices, packaging, and corporate practice). All six dimensions feed the overall Vyvata score; a weakness on any one dimension pulls the overall down proportionally.

No third-party certifications (NSF, USP, ConsumerLab, or equivalent) were on record at the time of scoring. This affects the Manufacturing dimension score. The manufacturer may test internally or have obtained certification more recently — check the current product label for the most up-to-date information.

Would move to Verified 70+ with R-lipoic form disclosure OR higher-dose SKU + third-party COA.
