Health benefits of R-lipoic acid in a nutshell

R-lipoic acid is a truly unique antioxidant that not only protects cells from free radicals, but also promotes energy production. This means it allows cells to produce energy and function under better conditions, giving the body the energy it needs while protecting cells for better function throughout the body.

Effects confirmed by science

Lipoic acid has two forms of isomers with different properties. The R-form is biologically produced by your body and the S-form is chemically produced. The R-form of lipoic acid has an antioxidant effect and plays a role in the removal of free radicals. Dietary supplements with alpha lipoic acid usually consist of the R and S form in a 50/50 ratio, but the pure R-form of lipoic acid is more effective. The newer formulation of lipoic acid has been shown to reach higher peak blood levels earlier, ensuring rapid absorption from plasma into tissues. One study reported that oral ingestion of Super R-lipoic acid after conversion to sodium R-lipoate reached peak plasma concentrations within 10-20 minutes after supplementation.
