Product Details
Lipoic acid helps protect against oxidative stress generated by high glucose levels. Alpha-lipoic acid consists of two different forms (isomers) that have vastly different properties. The R form is the biologically active component (native to the body) that is responsible for lipoic acids phenomenal antioxidant effect. The S form is produced from chemical manufacture and is not very biologically active. Typical alpha-lipoic acid supplements consist of the R and S form in a 50/50 ratio. That means a 100 mg alpha-lipoic acid supplement is providing 50 mg of the biologically active R form. The human body normally produces and uses the R form of lipoic acid. This active form, R-lipoic acid, significantly supports healthy inflammatory response, is a potent free-radical scavenger and has been shown to be more potent than the combined R and S forms that comprise most alpha-lipoic acid supplements. Life Extension is continually searching for innovative nutritional technologies. Now, through dedicated research and development, the discovery of a newer form of R-lipoic acid is being seen as the next-generation antioxidant powerhouse. Life Extensions Super R-Lipoic Acid has demonstrated superior bioavailability, stability, and potency for a variety of health benefits. This breakthrough converts the biologically active R form of lipoic acid to sodium-R-lipoic acid, which, in a recent human study achieved 1030 times higher peak blood levels than pure R-lipoic acid.Not only does this newer lipoic acid formulation reach higher peak blood levels,it also achieves them sooner, up to 12 times faster than R-lipoic acid, ensuring rapid uptake from the plasma into the tissues.A recent study showed that oral ingestion of Super R-Lipoic Acid reached peak plasma concentrations within just 1020 minutes of supplementation. Unlike other forms of lipoic acid, Super R-Lipoic Acid is more stable in the body. The increased stability of this enhanced formulation is the reason for its greater absorption and bioavailability compared with R-lipoic acid. The superior antioxidant effects of R-lipoic acid are already well known for supporting healthy mitochondrial function. Now, Super R-Lipoic Acid provides even more potent benefits for preserving youthful cellular energy levels.
