R-Alpha-Lipoic Acid 60 Capsules – 3 Pack – Bioclinic Naturals

Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory,
neuroprotective, and mitochondrial nutrient. The R-isomer of ALA is a cofactor
for mitochondrial enzymes and a substrate for glutathione reductase, it
participates in the citric acid cycle and ATP production, and recycles other
antioxidants, including vitamins C, E, CoQ10, and glutathione. R-Alpha-Lipoic
Acid provides only the R-isomer, which increased plasma levels nearly 1.5
times higher in older populations than the commonly used racemic mixture
(combined R- and S-isomers). ALA has also accelerates wound healing when
combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, particularly the R-isomer. The
R-isomer has a greater neuroprotective effect in an in vivo model of brain
vascular injury, due to the S-isomers negative influence or lack of biological
activity. ALA improved glycemic control and insulin resistance in type 2
diabetics, with clear benefit for the prevention and treatment of peripheral
neuropathy. It improved endothelial function among individuals with impaired
glucose tolerance, and increased weight loss among obese individuals. The
R-isomer was significantly more effective than the S-isomer at improving
insulin-stimulated glucose transport and metabolism in insulin resistant
animal models. Benefits R-Alpha-Lipoic Acid provides only the naturally
occurring R-isomer, the only form utilized by mitochondrial enzymes, and only
one synthesized in humans R-isomer has greater biological activity than the
racemic mixture often used in supplements, a combination of the R- and
S-isomers R-isomer supplementation results in higher total plasma levels, as
well as a shorter time to reach maximum levels in older individuals compared
to racemic mixture ALA neutralizes reactive oxygen species and is a potent
inducer of phase 2 antioxidant enzymes Enhances mitochondrial function and
supports glutathione synthesis
