R-Alpha-Lipoic Acid is a naturally occurring substance that acts as a coenzyme in energy production in cellular metabolism and functions as an ideal antioxidant. Evidence shows that R-Alpha-Lipoic Acid delays the aging process, improves brain function and memory, stimulates immune function and supports liver health. R-Alpha-Lipoic Acid is also indicated for several pathologies that include arteriosclerosis, atherosclerosis, arthritis, cancer, ischemia-reperfusion injury, apoptosis, and HIV infection, all involving inflammation. It also offers protection against the sequelae of diabetes, such as neuropathy, cataract, and cardiovascular disease. R-Alpha-Lipoic Acid ameliorates insulin sensitivity in type II diabetes. R-Alpha-Lipoic Acid can directly and indirectly recycle ascorbate, glutathione, coenzyme Q10 and vitamin E. Hence, the idea of an "antioxidant network". In addition, lipoic acid has both water-soluble and membrane-soluble characteristics, enabling it to reduce oxidized antioxidants at the lipid/water interface. R-Alpha-Lipoic acid may also exhibit antioxidant activity by metal chelating which explains the usefulness of lipoic acid for the detoxification in heavy metal poisoning. R-Form Benefit Conventional chemical synthesis of lipoic acid yields a mixture of R- and S-enantiomers. Lipoic acid from Alpha Science is processed in such a way as to yield the active R- isomer only with a purity guaranteed to be higher than 99%. Bioavailability of R- and S- alpha-lipoic acid has extensively been studied in humans using single dose administration. Generally, there was no difference between R- and S- alpha-lipoic acid concentrations in plasma after intravenous administration. However, after oral intake of the combined mixture, at least a 60% higher response was found for R-lipoic acid than for the S-form. To order, please call 1-888-566-8297 |
