Dr. Feb's Analysis

Scientific Mechanism

At the cellular level, R[+]-Alpha Lipoic Acid functions as a potent antioxidant. Unlike the S- form, the biologically active R- form mimics natural synthesis. It plays a crucial role in mitochondrial energy metabolism by acting as a coenzyme for pyruvate dehydrogenase. This facilitates the conversion of glucose into ATP. Additionally, it helps regenerate other antioxidants like Vitamin C and E. Its unique solubility allows it to exert effects in both aqueous and lipid environments, protecting cells from oxidative stress.

Key Benefits

Key benefits include:

  • Supports healthy glucose metabolism
  • Provides potent antioxidant protection
  • Promotes mitochondrial energy production
  • Helps regenerate other antioxidants

Usage & Safety

The standard dosage is 1 capsule daily. For optimal absorption, take R-ALA-200 on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before a meal or 2 hours after. If you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medication (especially blood sugar medications), consult your healthcare provider before use. Keep out of reach of children.
