Stabilized sodium salt of R-lipoic acid for antioxidant and metabolic support* Sodium R-alpha-lipoic acid is a highly bioavailable and stabilized form of R-lipoic acid. Regular R-lipoic acid is heat sensitive and may polymerize extensively, decreasing its absorption significantly. In real-time stability tests, sodium R-lipoic acid remained stable for 12 months. The natural R isomer of alpha lipoic acid may provide enhanced antioxidant activity, energy production, and general metabolic function. Studies suggest that R-lipoic acid offers support for glucose metabolism in skeletal muscle. A University of California Berkeley study indicates that R-lipoic acid may be protective against age-related oxidative stress in the liver. Furthermore, a study at Oregon State University established a potential role for R-lipoic acid in protecting the heart from age-related oxidative stress.* • Supports neutralization of free radicals and enhancing cellular activity* • Made with hypoallergenic, vegan ingredients

If pregnant or lactating, consult your physician before taking this product. R-lipoic acid may cause gastrointestinal discomfort in some individuals and should always be taken with meals. In rare cases, R-lipoic acid may also cause skin rash in sensitive individuals.People taking anti-diabetic medications or medications for thyroid disease should be monitored by a health care professional.
