Description*
Enhanced Energy and Healthy Blood Sugar with NuMedica Alpha Lipoic Acid
NuMedica Alpha CU Alpha Lipoic Acid is a powerful source of alpha-lipoic acid, a natural antioxidant that is produced by the body. Many people take an alpha-lipoic acid supplement because it may provide such important benefits as cardiovascular support, liver protection, blood sugar regulation, increased energy, strengthened immune system health, and much more. With its anti-aging benefits, NuMedica Alpha CU is a popular nutritional supplement that can enhance your overall health with its many antioxidant protections. With its zinc, biotin, and vitamin C, this supplement can provide an extraordinary level of nutritional support.
The Power of NuMedica Alpha-Lipoic Acid
As an important anti-oxidant produced by the body's cells, alpha-lipoic acid plays an essential role by helping to convert glucose into energy. These antioxidants, like others, also help reduce the presence of tissue-damaging free radicals that occur during the process of turning food into much-needed energy. Free radicals, as many people have learned, are associated with the aging process and disease onset. By boosting the body's antioxidant protections, these free radicals can be more efficiently routed out of the body before they can harm the body's healthy cells and tissues.
When it comes to your skin, alpha-lipoic acid has been shown to reduce the appearance of fine lines. Because of this and its ability to keep people feeling energized and less prone to fatigue, it's often praised for its anti-aging benefits. Like many other antioxidants, alpha-lipoic acid can help support the immune system so that it can more effectively fight off viruses and infection.

Free radicals are compounds formed when our bodies convert the food we eat into energy.

Reseller Order Policy Change
Effective December 1, 2023
SupplementRelief.com has been an Authorized Reseller (Team Member) of FirstFitness Nutrition (FFN) since April of 2020, selling FFN products directly from our website to our customers, handling the payment processing, order fulfillment, and customer service.
Effective December 1, 2023 FirstFitness Nutrition REQUIRES ALL Authorized Resellers, who have formerly sold FFN products DIRECTLY from their OWN website, to refer the PRODUCT PURCHASE to the Reseller's FFN Team Member website.
You may continue placing orders on SupplementRelief.com through December 31, 2023 for the remaining products we have in stock.
SupplementRelief.com's FFN Team Member website is:
supplementrelief.firstfitness.com
On the top right of every page you will see our Team Member name to confirm you are on the correct FFN Team Member website:
Your FFN Team Member: SUPPLEMENTRELIEF.COM
Please BOOKMARK this new website supplementrelief.firstfitness.com for future shopping. You may begin using the Team Member website immediately.
You may also place your order directly over the phone by calling either SupplementRelief.com at 888.424.0032 or FirstFitness Nutrition's Customer Support line at 800.621.4348. Please let them know that your FFN Team Member is SUPPLEMENTRELIEF.COM.
You may continue to use this website (supplementrelief.com) for FFN product descriptions and other Wellness content from our Blog, Education, or Recipes, but on December 1, 2023:
- The "Add to Cart" button will change to a "Purchase on FFN Team Member Website" button, and your browser will automatically open a new page on our FFN Team Member Website to purchase the product. You can stay on the new site and shop for ALL other FirstFitness Nutrition products without returning to this website.
- If you formerly had a LOGIN ACCOUNT on SupplementRelief.com, it WILL NOT WORK on the FFN Team Member website. You will be given an option to create a new account on the FFN Team Member Website. You WILL NOT NEED your SupplementRelief.com account on this website anymore, unless you want to see your Order History for orders you placed on SupplementRelief.com in the past.
How Does This Affect Future FFN Purchases?
This means that as of December 1, 2023:
- You may purchase FFN products only from an FFN Team Member website.
- ALL ORDERS will now be PROCESSED and SHIPPED directly by FirstFitness Nutrition. The company name on your credit card statement will no longer say SUPPLEMENTRELIEF but will now say FIRST FITNESS.
- You may optionally create a new account on our FFN Team Member website, or you can shop as a Guest— both options work fine. Setting up a new account on the FFN website is recommended to make placing future orders easier, as FirstFitness will already have your information to process your order once you log on to our Team Member website.

Shipping & Handling
A safe and accurate address for delivery must be provided at the time the order is placed. Once an order has shipped, SupplementRelief.com is NOT responsible for lost or stolen packages CONFIRMED BY THE CARRIER to be delivered to the address provided for the order.
Since COVID-19, and the ensuing economic challenges in the USA economy, we respectfully ask that you allow some additional time for delivery for the carriers (USPS, UPS, and FedEx). Most orders still arrive on time, or near on time, but some may run late. We make every effort to get your order packed and into the carriers hands the same day, or by the next business morning if your order came in later in the previous day after carrier pickup, but we have no control over any delays that may happen within the shipping carrier's delivery system. Please order earlier for the time being if you are time-sensitive.
Orders that contain only FirstFitness Nutrition products have a shipping fee automatically calculated based upon the actual shipping weight of the items purchased. The charge ranges from $4.95 to $14.95.
For orders with NuMedica products you may choose from the shipping options below on the Order Checkout form in the Shipping Information section on the first line that says Choose Shipping Method.
Shipping Options
| Country | Option | Schedule | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States | Standard | 3-6 Days | $4.95 |
| United States | Priority | 2-4 Days | $9.95 |
| United States | Free | 7-10 Days | $0.00 |
| International | FedEx International | 4-7 Days | $79.95* |
| International | GlobalPost International | 12-21 Days | $39.95* |
| *International shipping costs may be higher depending upon package weight and destination. We will contact you for your approval of the additional amount if this occurs. | |||
SupplementRelief.com may use the email or phone number provided on your Order to call or text you regarding Order Status or to inform you of changes to the Order Policy.
When your order ships we will send you a confirmation email with the delivery tracking information.
International Shipping
Shipping anything these days internationally is expensive. COVID resulted in more rigorous customs import processes, and now with much higher energy prices, international shipping rates are higher.
FedEx is the most reliable and faster carrier, at least for now, but they are expensive. Our FedEx international shipping fee is a minimum of $79.95. It usually makes more sense to get several months of supply (3 months or more) in one order to minimize the shipping expense per order over time. While the added weight of additional items may increase the base shipping price by a little (usually 10-25% depending upon total weight and destination), it is usually not by very much relative to shipping an additional small order later.
We also offer a lower-cost international shipping option using GlobalPost International for $39.95. So far, they have been reliable in getting packages correctly delivered but it takes 2 - 4 times as long to get the package delivered. Packages may take longer to process in the receiving country's customs process and status updates may not be reported as quickly. Please be patient if you choose this option to save money.
Some International orders may cost more to ship depending upon weight and location. If that happens we will contact you first and get your approval for any additional charge before proceeding. International orders may also be subject to additional customs fees and duties/taxes based upon the destination country's customs import laws and policies. These fees are NOT known or included on our order form and are typically charged and collected by the shipping carrier when they are delivering the product to it's final destination once the package has cleared the destination country's customs process. It is recommended that the buyer research custom import fees for the products/services they are importing beforehand to be aware of potential, additional fees.
Shipping Refrigerated Products
Our manufacturers formulate their probiotics to ensure their products retain viability until they reach the consumer. Probiotics that are recommended to be refrigerated remain so until the time of shipment, then shipped alongside an ice pack to ensure potency (Note: Ice pack will not arrive frozen, and product may not arrive cold). Orders placed on a Thursday-Sunday requiring cold shipping will not ship until the following Monday.
Cancellations
If your order has not been shipped yet, you can request a cancellation. Your original purchase amount will be refunded within three business days. If your order has already shipped, see Returns and Refunds.
Changes, Returns and Refunds
If you want to make a change to your order, please email us as soon as possible so we can make the change before your order ships. If your order has already shipped you may incur additional shipping charges for the second shipment and the return label for any products returned.
If we have made a mistake on your order, or the product arrives in a damaged or unusable condition, we will make every reasonable effort to right the situation quickly to your satisfaction.
We accept returns subject to when the return is requested and the condition the product is returned in. All returns must first be authorized by contacting us. In your request, please let us know why you are returning the item(s). We will respond promptly with authorization, the return address, and a return shipping label if appropriate.
If your order has already shipped you can return any un-opened products within 30 days of receiving your order for a 100% refund of the price paid for the product, less the actual shipping charges we incurred to get the product to you originally and then returned, less a $10 restocking fee. Un-opened means the protective seal on the bottle or container, or the shrink-wrap on the box or kit, has not been broken and the product has not otherwise been damaged in any way. You may use the original packaging for the return or acquire your own. We will provide the return shipping label. We DO NOT accept returns for NuMedica products once the protective product seal has been broken.
Upon receipt of returned product(s), we will refund your credit card within three business days for the product(s) returned.
