Life Extension Super R-Lipoic Acid 240 mg – The Active Form of Alpha-Lipoic Acid

Not all lipoic acid is created equal. R-Lipoic acid is the biologically active form that your body actually produces and utilizes — and Life Extension's Super R-Lipoic Acid delivers a potent 240 mg per capsule in a stabilized, bioavailable form. Unlike the common S-form found in many supplements, R-Lipoic Acid is up to 12 times more bioavailable, making it significantly more effective for mitochondrial energy production and antioxidant defense.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between R-Lipoic Acid and Alpha-Lipoic Acid?
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) sold in most supplements is a 50/50 mix of R and S forms. The R-form is the naturally occurring, biologically active isomer your body recognizes. The S-form may actually compete with the R-form for absorption, making pure R-Lipoic Acid far superior.

Should I take Super R-Lipoic Acid with food?
For best absorption, take on an empty stomach or with a light meal. Avoid taking with high-fat meals as this can affect absorption kinetics.
