A slightly different form of Alpha Lipoic Acid
R-Lipoic Acid is a mitochondrial antioxidant that may play a key roles in cell metabolism. R-Lipoic Acid has the ability to potentially scavenge free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) and recycles vitamins E, C, CoQ10, and glutathione, which is an important antioxidant in its own right. Through these actions, R-Lipoic Acid works to keep cells healthy.

Na-R-ALA Stabilized R-Lipoic Acid Capsules contain the sodium salt form of R-Lipoic Acid, an important antioxidant produced naturally in small amounts in our bodies. When taken as a nootropic supplement, R-Lipoic Acid Capsules have been shown to offer a wide variety of benefits.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid, also known as ALA, is now a commonly known antioxidant. Although it plays an important role in the body, researchers didn’t know this antioxidant existed naturally within us until the 1930s. As time went on, ALA was identified at first as a vitamin, until it was discovered that it is actually a coenzyme that plays a very important role in converting glucose to ATP (energy) via mitochondrial electron transport. ALA was discovered to be a fat- and water-soluble antioxidant that may protect the body from free radical damage and also offers a range of other benefits.
Another version of ALA known as S-Lipoic Acid was created and offers some benefits, but the naturally occurring form of ALA, R-Lipoic Acid, is much more effective. Consumers can now easily buy R-Lipoic Acid, which is what we offer at Nootropics Depot.
