no hassle
every time
Suggested Use: 1-2 capsules per day, in divided doses, with meals
R–Lipoic Acid (stabilized) – This free radical scavenger is an antioxidant powerhouse. R-lipoic is both a water and fat soluble antioxidant, therefore is able to work anywhere in the body.Studies suggest that Lipoic acid assists with nerve health, and has been indicated to benefit those with diabetes and nerve disorders. Also known to be beneficial for protecting the liver and brain. This specific form of Lipoic acid is R-Lipoic, a stablized form that absorbs quicker and has been shown to be more effective as a cellular protectant.
What Is It?
Sodium R-alpha-lipoic acid is a highly bioavailable and stabilized form of R-lipoic acid. Regular R-lipoic acid is heat sensitive and may polymerize extensively, decreasing its absorption significantly. In real-time stability tests, sodium R-lipoic remained stable for 12 months. The natural R isomer of alpha-lipoic acid may provide enhanced antioxidant activity, energy production, and general metabolic function.*
Uses For R-lipoic acid (stabilized)
Nerve Health: In a recent in vitro study at the Buck Institute for Aging in California, R–lipoic acid moderated oxidative stress in neurons. A related study demonstrates the ability of R–lipoic acid to support memory tasks in animals by supporting mitochondrial function and protecting cells from free radicals.*
Glucose Metabolism: An animal study suggested that R–lipoic acid supported healthy glucose metabolism. Additional studies suggest that R-lipoic acid promotes glucose metabolism in skeletal muscle.*
Antioxidant Support: A University of California Berkeley study indicates that R–lipoic acid may be protective against age–related oxidative stress in the liver. Furthermore, a study at Oregon State University established a potential role for R–lipoic acid in protecting the heart from age–related oxidative stress.*
