Product Overview
ALA Transdermal Cream is a breakthrough in Ayurvedic wellness, meticulously crafted by Vaidya Rama Kant Mishra under the esteemed SVAFF framework including the Transdermal Marma System. This cream was designed to provide cellular protection, metabolic balance, and antioxidant support. Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a universal antioxidant, meaning it works in both water- and fat-soluble environments, allowing it to penetrate deep into cells, the nervous system, and the liver to provide comprehensive protection and detoxification.
ALA plays a critical role in neutralizing free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can cause oxidative damage to cells, leading to premature aging, inflammation, and chronic disease. By helping to regenerate other antioxidants like Vitamin C and Vitamin E, ALA enhances the body's natural defense system against oxidative stress.
Our vegan-sourced ALA is derived from broccoli, brussels sprouts, and spinach, ensuring a pure and plant-based formulation that aligns with the SVAFF Ayurvedic principles of sattvic nutrition. This natural source of ALA supports glucose metabolism and insulin regulation, helping maintain balanced blood sugar levels and reducing oxidative stress on cells. It also supports mitochondrial function, which enhances energy production and improves stamina, making it beneficial for those experiencing fatigue, metabolic imbalances, or oxidative damage.
Transdermal application offers a unique advantage by delivering the active ingredients directly through the skin. This method bypasses the digestive system, ensuring rapid absorption and targeted delivery of antioxidants exactly where they are needed, thereby maximizing cellular protection and detoxification.
Oral intake in capsule form is particularly beneficial for nurturing the bones and nerves. If you are experiencing local issues such as inflammation in the knees or poor circulation in the extremities (hands and feet), taking ALA + Capsules in capsule form can be effective, as it passes through the digestive system and supports the body holistically.
For optimal results, ALA + Capsules can be used in combination with any of our Massage Oils featuring ALA, either lipid- or water-based or with ALA Transdermal Cream. Using both oral and transdermal delivery systems allows for maximum absorption and provides synergistic action, ensuring the most effective antioxidant and metabolic support possible.

Transdermal Marma Absorption:
Transdermal absorption has been a cornerstone of Ayurvedic practice for centuries and is now recognized in modern medicine. Vaidya Rama Kant Mishra advanced this tradition by creating the Transdermal Marma System, which utilizes targeted marma points to enhance absorption directly where it is needed, ensuring optimal delivery of therapeutic benefits.
- Efficient Delivery: Approximately 75% of what is applied to the skin is absorbed into the bloodstream, providing a direct gateway to your physiology.
- Gentle on Digestion: This method bypasses the digestive system—ideal for patients whose colon and liver are burdened by processed foods, chemicals, and toxins—ensuring that healing herbs are delivered efficiently without further taxing the system.
- Intelligent Formulation: Our transdermal cream is based on Shea Butter combined with various pure essential oils. While Shea Butter remains on the skin for a few minutes, it effectively supports the sustained release and absorption of active ingredients (take care to avoid staining clothing).
Key Ingredients:
- Alpha Lipoic Acid Herbal Synergy: A concentrated proprietary blend that delivers potent antioxidant support and cellular protection.
- Essential Oils Blend: A synergistic blend that nourishes the skin, acts as a natural preservative free of toxins, and delights the senses with its captivating aroma.
- Organic Shea Butter: A natural, organic base that promotes superior transdermal absorption while deeply moisturizing and protecting the skin.
