R-Alpha Lipoic Acid in More Detail
Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a unique antioxidant that is both water- and fat-soluble, allowing it to work throughout the body. The R-fraction is the naturally occurring, biologically active form, responsible for the majority of ALA’s physiological benefits.
R-ALA plays a key role in mitochondrial energy production, where it supports enzymes involved in converting nutrients into usable energy. This makes it particularly relevant for supporting metabolic health and maintaining steady energy levels.
In addition, R-ALA helps regenerate other antioxidants such as vitamins C and E and glutathione, contributing to broader antioxidant protection. It is also commonly used to support healthy insulin sensitivity and glucose utilisation.
Suggested Use
As a dietary supplement, take one capsule 1-2 times per day with water
