R Alpha-Lipoic Acid Capsules

Na-R-Alpha-Lipoic Acid (1,2-dithiolane-3-pentanoic acid) is a free radical neutralizer and involved in energy metabolism as a mitochondrial enzyme cofactor (1). Unlike other Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) supplements, we offer superior bioavailability in the form of R-ALA, the naturally occurring type of ALA which is found in food sources and is produced within the body itself (5). The R-ALA we offer has been stabilized with a sodium salt molecule (the “Na” means sodium in its name). R Alpha Lipoic Acid Benefits Free radical scavenger (ref)* Highly bioavailable form of Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ref)* R Alpha Lipoic Acid Mode of Action R-Alpha-Lipoic Acid (one of two mirror-image forms of ALA’s chemical structure) is created in mitochondria, specifically in the mitochondria of the liver (1). ALA can scavenge free radicals, recycle other free radical neutralizers, and chelate metal ions (2). ALA can reduce the oxidized scavenger glutathione, meaning that it can help activate glutathione back to
