Doctor’s Best R-Lipoic Acid – Supports Glucose Metabolism & Energy* – Non-GMO, Gluten-Free, Vegan – 100mg, 180ct

Brand: Doctor’s BEST

Features:

• DOCTOR’S BEST STABILIZED R-LIPOIC ACID CONTAINS BIOENHANCED NA-RALA – the sodium salt of R-Lipoic acid (RLA). BioEnhanced Na-RALA is in its natural and stabilized form of RLA that won’t degrade at high temperatures and is more bioavailable and biologically active. Lipoic acid (LA) plays an important role in glucose metabolism and energy production. LA is both fat and water soluble. D-Biotin is an integral part of enzyme activity necessary for the breakdown and conversion of fatty acids and carbohydrates into energy
• POWERFUL ANTIOXIDANT – Lipoic acid is a potent antioxidant that supports mitochondrial function, helps protect against oxidative stress and maintains cellular energy. Supports nerve health, glucose metabolism and cardiovascular health.
• CELLULAR ENERGY – R-lipoic acid is made by the body in our mitochondria, the cells that provide energy. Protecting mitochondria from free radicals, R-Lipoic Acid supports energy at the cellular level.
• BETTER ABSORPTION – R-Lipoic Acids includes the active “R” form of lipoic acid, stable and easier for the body to absorb. Improved stability from this formula is the cause for better absorption and bioavailability.
• During the summer months products may arrive warm but Amazon stores and ships products in accordance with manufacturers’ recommendations, when provided.

Details: Supports the body’s defense against free radicals. Recycles antioxidant nutrients such as Vitamin C and Vitamin E. An ideal antioxidant would have the ability to quench a wide variety of free radicals, to support the functioning of other antioxidants, to bind or “chelate” metal ions that can generate free radicals, to function in watery and fatty environments, and to be present in tissues, cells, and extracellular spaces. Having exceeded these criteria, Lipoic Acid was termed the “universal antioxidant.” As a team, LA and DHLA come close to the ideal, for the following reasons: 1) LA is easily absorbed when consumed orally. 2) LA is readily converted to DHLA in various tissues. 3) As a pair, LA and DHLA neutralize superoxide, hydroxyl, peroxyl, and hypochlorus radicals. 4) LA and DHLA form stable complexes with metal ions such as iron, manganese, copper and zinc ions. 5) LA and DHLA scavenge free radicals in both fatty and watery environments. 6) DHLA recycles other important antioxidants.
