I'm tired of mixing powders
My supplement routine was already complicated enough. The softgel format appealed to me because there's nothing to measure or mix into a drink. Sometimes the practical details are what catch your attention.
For women with PCOS who've tried everything
You've tried everything for your PCOS. Have you tried what was actually studied?
Most alpha lipoic acid is a 50/50 mix, and half of it is a form your body never makes. Nurvella is 600 mg of R-ALA only. That's the same form and daily amount given for 24 weeks in a placebo-controlled trial. We won't promise you a miracle. Just the right form, at the right amount.
- 600 mg of R-ALA a day. No S-form, no blend, nothing hiding in a "proprietary formula."
- Three 200 mg softgels. Spread them across your day instead of taking one big dose.
- Supports healthy glucose metabolism and antioxidant defense.
- Third-party lab tested.

What is Nurvella R-ALA?
What is Nurvella R-ALA?
Nurvella is one ingredient: R-alpha lipoic acid (R-ALA), the natural form of alpha lipoic acid your body makes on its own. Most ALA on the shelf is a 50/50 mix of this form and a synthetic mirror-image form. Ours is the R-form only, 600 mg a day, suspended in coconut oil inside a softgel. It supports healthy glucose metabolism and gives you antioxidant support. It’s not a medication, and it isn’t meant to replace one.
How to take it
How to take it
Take 3 softgels a day, with water. You can take all three at once, or one with each meal to spread them across your day. One pouch holds 120 softgels, which is 40 days at the full daily serving. For the fairest test, take it every day for at least 90 days. That’s the window our guarantee covers, because a few weeks is not enough time to know if something works for you.

Can I take it with my other treatments?
Many women take it alongside inositol, spearmint tea, or a hormonal prescription. But talk to your doctor before starting if you are:
- pregnant or breastfeeding
- trying to conceive
- diabetic, or taking metformin or any medication that lowers blood sugar
If you notice signs of low blood sugar, like shakiness, sweating, dizziness, or sudden hunger, stop taking it and contact your doctor.

If this sounds familiar
You did everything they told you. It still didn't add up.
You've been told to lose weight. You've been handed the pill and sent home. You've scrolled forums at midnight, built your own supplement stack, and paid for things that did nothing. And somewhere along the way, it started to feel like it was your fault.
It isn't. PCOS was renamed PMOS in 2026, and the new name has "metabolic" in it for a reason. What you've been living with was never about willpower.
- Doctors who said "just lose weight" and moved on
- Inositol powders, spearmint tea, berberine, the pill, metformin
- Blends that never tell you how much of anything is inside
- Blood sugar worries, and nobody explaining what to do about them
Why "I tried ALA and nothing happened" is so common
Most ALA is half a form your body never makes
Alpha lipoic acid comes in two mirror-image forms. R-ALA is the form your body makes on its own. S-ALA is a by-product of how most ALA is manufactured.
Most ALA on the shelf is a 50/50 mix of the two, called racemic ALA. So a bottle that says "600 mg" usually holds about 300 mg of the R-form. If you tried ALA before and felt nothing, there's a fair chance you never took the form or the amount that was studied.
What makes nurvella different
The studied form, at the studied amount
Every daily serving of nurvella is 600 mg of R-ALA, and nothing else. That's the same form and daily amount given for 24 weeks in the longest placebo-controlled trial of R-ALA in adults.
R-form only
No S-form filler. All 600 mg is the form your body recognizes.
Three 200 mg softgels
ALA leaves your blood within hours. Three smaller softgels let you spread it across the day.
In coconut oil
Pure R-ALA is fragile as a dry powder. Ours is suspended in coconut oil inside a sealed softgel.

The honest part
What the research says, and what it doesn't
You've read enough pages that promise to fix everything. Here's exactly where the evidence stands, so you can decide for yourself.
What we know
- Ordinary ALA is half S-form. The R-form is the one your body makes.
- 600 mg of R-ALA a day was given for 24 weeks in a placebo-controlled trial in adults.
- Health Canada has licensed this product to help promote healthy glucose metabolism and as a source of antioxidants.*
What we don't know yet
- That trial was in overweight adults, not women with PCOS.
- Most ALA studies in women with PCOS used ordinary ALA, often with inositol.
- No trial has tested our exact softgel in PCOS. Results will vary from woman to woman.
That's why we don't promise you results. We promise you the right form, the right amount, and your money back if it isn't for you.
What to expect
Give it a fair test
We won't sell you a week-by-week miracle timeline. Here's what a fair test actually looks like.
- Day 1
Start with food
Take 3 softgels a day, all together or one with each meal. Keep taking anything your doctor prescribed.
- Weeks 1–4
Make it a habit
Consistency matters more than anything. Leave the pouch where you eat so you don't miss days.
- Day 40
Open your second pouch
One pouch lasts 40 days. Notice how your energy and routine feel, and write it down.
- Day 90
Decide for yourself
That's the full test. If you're not happy, email us and we'll refund your order, even if the pouch is opened or empty.
Zero risk to you
Try it for 90 days. Even an empty pouch gets a refund.
You've paid for enough things that didn't work. Many supplement guarantees only cover unopened products, which means you can't actually try them. Ours covers the pouch you opened, used, and finished.
Try it for 90 days. If you're not happy, email us and we'll refund your order, even if the pouch is opened or empty.
About $1.44 a day.

Clear about what you're getting
I've spent way too long comparing supplements with confusing labels. Having the R-form and the 600 mg per serving clearly stated makes this easier to understand. That's information I actually look for.
The larger pouch caught my eye
180 softgels is a practical option for someone who hates constantly reordering little bottles. I always check the quantity alongside the price, so that stood out to me.
Keeping my expectations realistic
After buying so many supplements, I'm cautious about anything promising a complete transformation. I'm interested in antioxidant support. I don't need another miracle story to convince me to look at the ingredients.
The form matters to me
I didn't know there were different forms of alpha lipoic acid until I started researching it. Having R-alpha lipoic acid specifically identified helped me compare this with the other options I was considering.
Something I can ask informed questions about
I'm more careful about supplements now than I used to be. Knowing the exact form and amount gives me something concrete to discuss with my clinician before adding anything to my routine.
The small details count
Gluten-free was on my checklist, and I liked seeing the coconut oil formulation explained. I pay more attention to those product details these days. They help me decide whether something fits what I'm looking for.

Questions women ask before buying
Straight answers
I've tried everything. Why would this be any different?
Fair question, and we won't pretend it's guaranteed to work for you. What's different is what's in it: 600 mg of R-ALA only, the form and daily amount that was studied, with nothing hidden in a blend. Most ALA you've seen is half the S-form.
And unlike almost everything else you've tried, you can get your money back even after you've used it all.
I already tried alpha lipoic acid. Is this the same thing?
Check the label of what you took. If it just says "alpha lipoic acid", it was almost certainly racemic: half R-form, half S-form. A 600 mg capsule of that gives you about 300 mg of R-form. Nurvella gives you 600 mg of R-form a day.
Will this fix my PCOS?
No supplement can honestly promise that, and you should be wary of any that does. Nurvella is licensed in Canada to help promote healthy glucose metabolism and as a source of antioxidants. It's not a treatment for PCOS, and it isn't meant to replace anything your doctor prescribed.
Will it help my weight, chin hair, acne or periods?
We can't claim that, and we won't. Some pages will tell you a supplement grows back hair or brings back your cycle. Those are claims no supplement is allowed to make, and the research doesn't support them for any single product. What we can tell you is what's in it, how much, and that you can get your money back if it's not for you.
I take inositol. Do I stop?
No need. R-ALA is a different ingredient, and many women take both. In fact, most ALA research in women with PCOS paired ALA with inositol. If you're unsure, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Can I take it with metformin, birth control or spironolactone?
Talk to your doctor first if you take metformin or any medication that lowers blood sugar, or if you have diabetes. R-ALA can add to that effect.
Stop taking it and contact your doctor if you notice sweating, paleness, chills, headache, dizziness or confusion, as these can be signs of low blood sugar.
I'm trying to conceive. Can I take it?
Please check with your doctor first. Our label asks anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding to consult a health care practitioner before use, and the same applies if you're trying to conceive or going through fertility treatment.
My labs are "normal." Is this still for me?
Many women with PCOS, including lean PCOS, are told their labs look fine. Nurvella's licensed use, healthy glucose metabolism and antioxidant support, doesn't depend on a diagnosis or a lab result. If you want to know more about your own numbers, ask your doctor about a fasting insulin test.
Why three softgels instead of one?
Each softgel holds 200 mg, so three make the full 600 mg serving. ALA is absorbed quickly and leaves your blood within hours, so smaller softgels let you spread it across your meals if you want to. You can also take all three together.
How long until I notice anything?
Everyone's different, and we won't give you a fake timeline. Give it a full 90 days of taking it every day. That's a fair test, and it's exactly what our guarantee covers.
Will it upset my stomach?
There's no powder to mix and nothing to dissolve. Taking the softgels with food is the easiest way to start. If anything doesn't agree with you, stop and let us know, and the guarantee covers you.
Is the R-form really worth paying more for?
The R-form is the one your body makes, and 600 mg of it a day is what the longest placebo-controlled R-ALA trial used. With ordinary ALA, half of what's on the label is S-form. Per day, nurvella works out to about $1.44.
What's in it? Is it vegan?
Each serving (3 softgels) contains 600 mg of R-alpha lipoic acid. Other ingredients: coconut oil, softgel (gelatin, glycerin, added color, beeswax, purified water). Free of soy, dairy and gluten.
The softgel is made with gelatin and beeswax, so it is not vegan.
Is it tested? Is it approved?
It's third-party lab tested and holds a Health Canada product licence (NPN 80124581). In the US, the FDA doesn't approve supplements before they're sold, so no supplement is "FDA approved", whatever a label says.
How does the guarantee actually work?
Try it for 90 days. If you're not happy, email us and we'll refund your order, even if the pouch is opened or empty.
How much is it, and how long does a pouch last?
One pouch is 120 softgels, which is 40 days at 3 a day. That's about $1.44 a day. If you subscribe, you can cancel any time, with no minimum number of orders.
You've tried everything. Try what was actually studied.
