Capsules combining alpha-lipoic acid 600 mg with N-acetyl-L-cysteine, acetyl-L-carnitine and benfotiamine. For importers and distributors who can confirm the regulatory status of each ingredient in their market.

Product Description:

This capsule combines four ingredients. Alpha-lipoic acid is a sulphur-containing fatty acid; N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) is an acetylated form of the amino acid cysteine; acetyl-L-carnitine is the acetyl ester of L-carnitine; and benfotiamine is a fat-soluble S-acyl derivative of thiamine (vitamin B1). The 600 mg listed here refers to alpha-lipoic acid per serving; confirm the other three amounts on the label. A four-way blend at these amounts means large capsules, often several per serving.

Regulatory status is the main check. Acetylcysteine is a licensed medicine in most countries, used as a mucolytic and as the antidote to paracetamol overdose, and that affects whether NAC may appear in a food supplement; the position differs by market. Benfotiamine is authorised as a medicine in some countries and a supplement ingredient in others, and racemic alpha-lipoic acid is likewise a registered medicine in parts of Europe. Pharmacists will note that alpha-lipoic acid can affect blood glucose in people on diabetes medicines. NAC has a strong sulphurous smell the pack must contain.

Sourcing notes. Before ordering, have a regulatory adviser confirm whether each ingredient is allowed in supplements in your market, and at what amount. Ask for a CoA per batch with assays for all four, heavy metals, residual solvents and microbial limits, plus the GMP certificate of the capsule site. Acetyl-L-carnitine is hygroscopic and NAC slowly oxidises, so bottles with desiccant and induction seals are needed, with zone IVb data for tropical markets. Specify per-capsule amounts, capsule type (gelatin or HPMC), count and label language.
