The formula is intended for adults seeking targeted nutritional support for normal macronutrient metabolism and the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels.

What is alpha-lipoic acid?

Alpha-lipoic acid is a compound produced naturally in small amounts by the body. It occurs in mitochondria, where it acts as a cofactor in metabolic processes associated with cellular energy production.

ALA is soluble in both water and fat. Dietary sources include spinach, broccoli, tomatoes, kale, red meat and organ meats.

Each SAGAS RC 08 tablet provides 600 mg of alpha-lipoic acid. This is a concentrated daily amount, so it should be taken according to the label and should not automatically be combined with another ALA product.

The role of chromium in glucose metabolism

Chromium is an essential trace element that contributes to:

maintaining normal blood glucose levels,
normal metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.

One tablet provides 100 μg of chromium from chromium picolinate, equivalent to 250% of the adult reference intake.

This authorised nutritional claim does not mean that the product lowers elevated blood glucose or can replace medication, an individualised diet, exercise or regular glucose monitoring.

Important: SAGAS RC 08 is a food supplement, not a medicine. It is not intended to diagnose, prevent or treat diabetes, insulin resistance, diabetic neuropathy, tingling, nerve pain or any other medical condition. Do not stop or change prescribed treatment without a doctor’s approval.

When should alpha-lipoic acid be taken?

According to this product’s label, the tablet should be taken with a meal. It may conveniently be taken with breakfast or lunch at approximately the same time each day.

People monitoring their blood glucose should continue testing as advised by their doctor. Adding a supplement is not a reason to alter insulin or oral diabetes medication independently.

Warnings and precautions

Intended for adults.
Do not use during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before use.
Do not use in case of hypersensitivity to any ingredient.
People taking medication or living with a medical condition should consult a doctor before use.
Particular caution is required when using insulin or blood-glucose-lowering medication.

Do not alter the dose of prescribed medication based on home glucose readings without consulting a doctor.
Do not combine with another alpha-lipoic acid or high-dose chromium product without professional advice.
Stop use and seek advice if trembling, sweating, weakness, confusion or other symptoms of low blood glucose occur.

Use by people with diabetes

People with diabetes, prediabetes or insulin resistance should use the product only with the knowledge of a doctor or pharmacist. Chromium contributes to maintaining normal blood glucose, but the supplement cannot replace an individualised diet, physical activity, glucose monitoring or prescribed treatment.

Evidence for oral alpha-lipoic acid in symptoms associated with diabetic neuropathy is not completely consistent. The product should therefore not be presented as a treatment that repairs damaged nerves or reliably relieves nerve pain, burning or tingling.

Storage and pack size

Store in a dry and dark place, in the original packaging and below 25°C.

The package contains 60 tablets.

Brand: SAGAS.

Pharmacist’s advice

SAGAS RC 08 is a concentrated formula providing 600 mg of alpha-lipoic acid and 100 μg of chromium. Before use, check whether another glucose-support, neuropathy or antioxidant product already contains alpha-lipoic acid or chromium.

People using insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas or other glucose-lowering medicines should coordinate use with a doctor. A supplement is not a reason to reduce or discontinue prescribed medication.

Tingling, burning or pain in the hands and feet may have several causes, including diabetes, vitamin B12 deficiency, nerve compression, spinal disorders, thyroid disease or circulation problems. New, pronounced or progressive symptoms require medical assessment.

Seek urgent medical attention for sudden one-sided weakness, speech disturbance, loss of consciousness, severe hypoglycaemia or a foot wound that does not heal.
