Our dietary supplement, R-Lipoic Acid, is formulated with alpha-lipoic acid, also known as thioctic acid. Alpha-lipoic acid was once classified as a vitamin, but is now understood to be a coenzyme, meaning it participates in certain biochemical reactions naturally occurring in the body.* It is involved in metabolic pathways related to cellular energy production and overall physiological balance.*
Alpha-lipoic acid exists in two molecular forms: the R-form, which is produced naturally by the body, and the S-form, which is not naturally synthesized. During standard manufacturing processes, both forms are typically present in equal proportions.
R-Lipoic Acid 100 mg contains exclusively the R-form, the naturally occurring and bioactive configuration.* Achieving this purity requires an additional separation step to remove the S-form, resulting in a more targeted formulation. This distinction is important for individuals seeking a supplement aligned with the form naturally used by the body.*
Each capsule provides 100 mg of R-lipoic acid. The suggested intake is 2 to 3 capsules per day, to be adjusted according to individual needs and professional guidance.* This supplement may be combined with other nutrients involved in antioxidant systems, such as N-acetyl-cysteine, depending on personal nutritional goals.*
Since its identification in the 1930s, alpha-lipoic acid has been widely studied for its role in antioxidant research.* It is described in scientific literature as a compound capable of interacting with both water- and fat-soluble environments, a property that distinguishes it from many other antioxidants.*
Alpha-lipoic acid is studied for its ability to support the body’s natural defenses against oxidative stress by participating in antioxidant networks.* Research also explores its potential involvement in the recycling of endogenous antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, which contribute to cellular balance.*
Because of these characteristics, alpha-lipoic acid is frequently examined in the context of:
R-Lipoic Acid is intended for adults seeking a bioactive antioxidant ingredient researched in the context of cellular function and overall wellness, as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.*
