R-Lipoic Acid
R-Lipoic Acid (Stabilized) 60 or 120 capsules is a sodium salt of R-lipoic acid for antioxidant and metabolic support*
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 acid remained stable for 12 months. The natural R isomer of alpha lipoic acid may provide enhanced antioxidant activity, energy production, and general metabolic function. Studies suggest that R-Lipoic acid offers support for glucose metabolism in skeletal muscle.
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.*
