Product Description
Many people are familiar with alpha-lipoic acid but may not be aware of the difference between alpha-lipoic acid and r-lipoic acid. I describe it this way: "R-lipoic acid has better bio-availability, so you need less, and it works better."
About this item
- Advances in purification and stabilization have made it possible to supplement with pure R-lipoic acid, the form found naturally in plants and animals and effectively used by the body. RLA is the only form that functions as a cofactor for mitochondrial enzymes. When RLA is taken orally as the potassium salt (K-RALA), solubility is increased, absorption and bioavailibility are greatly improved.
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.*
