Reading a supplement label can feel like decoding a puzzle. Here's what each ingredient in Arialief is, why it's commonly used, and what the label does and doesn't tell you.
The declared nutrient: magnesium
Each capsule provides 80 mg of magnesium (19% of the Daily Value) as magnesium glycinate. Magnesium contributes to normal nerve and muscle function. More on nerve function.
The 575 mg proprietary blend
Alpha lipoic acid
An antioxidant that works in both water and fat, and one of the most studied nutrients in nerve-health research.
Butcher's broom root extract
A Mediterranean botanical traditionally used to support healthy circulation in the legs. Circulation focus area.
L-carnitine
Helps carry fatty acids into mitochondria to be burned for energy.
Turmeric extract, 95% curcuminoids
A concentrated form of turmeric's active compounds, known for their antioxidant properties.
Coenzyme Q10
Part of cellular energy production, and an antioxidant in its own right. Cellular energy focus area.
What "proprietary blend" means
A proprietary blend lists the ingredients, in descending order by weight, but not the amount of each one. You know the five ingredients add up to 575 mg, but not how much of each you're getting. That's legal and common, but it makes it harder to compare doses with research or other products.
Other ingredients
Hypromellose (a plant-based capsule shell), microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, stearic acid and silicon dioxide. These are standard fillers and flow agents used in capsule manufacturing.
