Life Extension Super R-Lipoic Acid is a highly bioavailable form of the "universal antioxidant" designed to support healthy mitochondrial function and cellular energy. Unlike standard alpha-lipoic acid supplements which contain a mixture of two forms, this formula uses pure R-lipoic acid, the specific isomer that occurs naturally in the human body. This specialized version is further enhanced with sodium-R-lipoate, which allows it to reach peak blood levels significantly faster than traditional lipoic acid. By protecting cells against oxidative stress, it plays a vital role in maintaining healthy blood sugar levels already within the normal range. Each 240mg capsule provides a stable, concentrated dose to support metabolic health and neurological function. The 60-count bottle ensures a two-month supply for those focused on longevity and cellular protection.
