A newly discovered form of
R-lipoic acid is being hailed as the
"next-generation" antioxidant powerhouse. This
breakthrough occurred by converting the biologically
active "R" form of lipoic acid to sodium-R-lipoic
acid, which is absorbed up to 21 times better in the
body than pure R-lipoic acid.1
Not only does the new lipoic acid formulation reach
higher peak blood levels2,
it also achieves them up to 12 times faster than
R-lipoic acid, ensuring rapid uptake from the plasma
into the tissues.3
A recent study showed that oral ingestion of Super
R-lipoic acid reached peak plasma concentrations
within just 10-20 minutes of supplementation.2
What's more, 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 more potent benefits
for preserving youthful cellular energy levels.
