Description

Super R-Lipoic Acid by Life Extension offers top-notch stability, bioavailability and potency for many benefits to health. This development actually turns “R” lipoic acid into a sodium form, which reaches 10–30 times greater peak  blood levels.

The “R” form of lipoic acid is instinctively made and put to use by the body. R-lipoic acid helps to react favorably towards inflammation, and is actually more powerful alone than when combined with lipoic acid’s “s” form. This combination is frequently found in commercially available lipoic acid supplements.113-124

Super R-Lipoic Acid by Life Extension offers top-notch stability, bioavailability and potency for many benefits to health. This development actually turns “R” lipoic acid into a sodium form, sodium R-lipoic acid, which is significant in that, during a recent human experiment, this form reached 10–30 times greater peak blood levels compared to pure R-lipoic acid.125, 126

In addition, this sodium-based form reaches peak blood levels faster, securing fast uptake from the plasma into the tissues.125 Research conducted recently demonstrated that consuming Super R-Lipoic Acid by mouth reached top concentrations of plasma inside a 20 minute window of supplementation.126
