A Strong Antioxidant for Diabetics
Alpha lipoic acid together with vitamins C and E form the body's main defense against free radicals. It has been characterized as the ideal antioxidant, since it neutralizes free radicals in both the fatty and aqueous parts of the cell, unlike vitamin C (which is water-soluble) and vitamin E (which is fat-soluble). Alpha lipoic acid consists of two different types (isomers), which exhibit very different properties. The 'R' form is the biologically active form (natural for the body), responsible for its antioxidant properties.
The 'S' form is produced by industry and is not particularly biologically active. Lipoic acid supplements consist of a 'S&R' form in a 50/50 ratio. This means that a lipoic acid supplement contains 50% active 'R' form. The human body normally produces and uses the 'R' form of lipoic acid. The 'R' form of lipoic acid significantly reduces inflammatory responses and has been shown to be clearly stronger than the combined 'R&S' form that contains alpha lipoic acid.
The supplement from Life Extension contains the R form of lipoic acid, which has the highest bioavailability, stability, and potency. This R form of lipoic acid from Life Extension is 10 to 30 times stronger than other forms of lipoic acid and reaches its target within 10 to 20 minutes. The Super R-Lipoic Acid from Life Extension is more stable in the body. Its increased stability is the reason for its greater and faster absorption.
