What is R-alpha-lipoic acid?
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a sulphur-containing fatty acid that the body makes in small amounts and uses inside the mitochondria. The molecule exists as two mirror-image versions, labelled R and S. The R version is the one found in nature and in human cells, while many supplements contain an equal mix of both. This product supplies only the R form.
Key features
100 mg R-alpha-lipoic acid per capsule
R form only, with no S form
60 vegetarian capsules
Vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, dairy-free and soy-free
Why the R form?
Because R-ALA matches what the body produces, a capsule of it delivers the full 100 mg in the naturally occurring form. ALA dissolves in both water and fat.

Alpha Lipoic Acid is one of my favorite Antioxidants.
Here's why Alpha Lipoic Acid is one of my favorite Anti-oxidants. Turns out
it helps reduce the fine lines around the eyes. I have been suffering from a
eye infection over the last year and I find ALA has helped damage around the eyes crated from this infection. I use it faithfully day and night.
