ALINESS Alpha Lipoic Acid R-ALA 200 mg - 60 vegetarian tablets

• Supports Glutathione Production
• Supports antioxidant processes

Alpha lipoic acid due to its structure occurs in the form of two R and S enantiomers.

In nature, only the R enantiomer shows bioavailability.

As a result of chemical synthesis, a racemic mixture of two R and S isomers is obtained, which is sold under the name ALA (alpha-lipoic acid). However, the S-enantiomer is practically useless, as it is difficult to get rid of it from such a mixture.

The popular ALA acid has no stated ratio of the R-to-S enantiomer and despite the maximum permitted dose of 600 mg racemate (racemate, i.e. an equimolar mixture of isomers of the same compound (R-ALA and S-ALA), we do not know what is the active R content in it.

R-ALA is a raw material purified from the other S-enantiomer, containing the pure R-enantiomer that naturally occurs in nature.
Due to its R form content and high activity, the maximum daily dose was set at 300 mg for the pure R-enantiomer.
