Full Description
R Lipoic Acid by Seeking Health provides the R-isomer form of lipoic acid. Normal alpha-lipoic acid supplements are an even mixture of the S- and R-isomers. However, in nature the R-form is the primary form found and it has a much higher bioavailability to cells.
Lipoic acid is often referred to as alpha lipoic acid or α-lipoic acid (ALA). R-Lipoic acid is a product that isolates the active component of ALA called R-Lipoic Acid. This powerful vitamin-like substance with antioxidant properties plays important roles in metabolism, energy production, and normal oxidative stress defenses.
R-Lipoic Acid has powerful antioxidant effects in the body. It has the unique ability to serve as an antioxidant in both water- and fat-soluble environments. This means it can go anywhere in your body and protect all types of tissues. R-Lipoic acid also assists in recycling important antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, coenzyme Q10, and glutathione.
Researchers have long known that R-Lipoic Acid plays a powerful role in energy production and normal glucose regulation. It acts as a coenzyme for the pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme. This helps to clear glucose from the body and turn it into engergy by accelerating the conversion of pyruvate into acetyl CoA for the Krebs cycle.
A healthy body synthesizes lipoic acid naturally. With prolonged or increased physical stress, the body can struggle to produce enough to meet its functional needs. During these times, focusing on ALA supplementation with R-Lipoic Acid can be critical.
To maintain their function, the nerves in your eyes, brain, and extremities (hands and feet) benefit from antioxidant and energy support. Nerve damage, numbness, tingling, poor vision, and cognitive dysfunction can all result from low antioxidant and ATP levels. ALA helps to support healthy nerve function, eyes, and brain health thanks to its powerful energy producing and antioxidant properties.
