What This Product Is

Stabilized R-Lipoic Acid Supreme features a highly bioavailable form of R-lipoic acid (RLA), Bio-Enhanced® RLA (100 mg). RLA is the more biologically active form of lipoic acid and is the form found in nature. It supports antioxidant status in the body, promotes a healthy inflammatory response, and supports healthy blood sugar metabolism.* The formula also contains the amino acid taurine (500 mg) to further support antioxidant status and promote healthy blood sugar metabolism.*

In the body, lipoic acid functions as a beneficial compound that helps neutralize free radicals and may help maintain healthy antioxidant status.* It also supports the repletion of additional antioxidants, including glutathione and vitamins A and C.* The more common supplemental form of lipoic acid is alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), but studies have demonstrated the potential for the RLA form alone to be more effective than ALA. Together, lipoic acid and taurine support antioxidant status and healthy blood sugar metabolism by neutralizing free radicals and reducing their creation within the mitochondria.*

Mechanism of Action

Bio-Enhanced® R-Lipoic Acid

R-lipoic acid (Bio-Enhanced® RLA, 100 mg) is the more biologically active form of lipoic acid found in nature. It helps neutralize free radicals, supports healthy antioxidant status, promotes a healthy inflammatory response, and supports healthy blood sugar metabolism.* RLA also supports the repletion of additional antioxidants including glutathione and vitamins A and C.* Studies have demonstrated the potential for RLA to be more effective than the common alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) form.

Taurine for Antioxidant and Metabolic Support

Taurine (500 mg) further supports antioxidant status and promotes healthy blood sugar metabolism.* Together with R-lipoic acid, taurine supports healthy glucose metabolism and mitochondrial function by neutralizing free radicals and reducing their creation within the mitochondria of cells.*

Applications

  • Individuals seeking healthy blood sugar metabolism support*
  • Those wanting bioavailable antioxidant support with R-lipoic acid*
  • Individuals needing glutathione and antioxidant repletion support*
  • Those seeking mitochondrial function support with RLA and taurine*
  • Individuals wanting the more biologically active form of lipoic acid over alpha-lipoic acid*

Product Questions

What is the difference between R-lipoic acid and alpha-lipoic acid?

Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is the more common supplemental form of lipoic acid and contains a 50/50 mixture of R and S isomers. R-lipoic acid (RLA) is the more biologically active form and is the form found in nature. Studies have demonstrated the potential for the RLA form alone to be more effective than ALA. Stabilized R-Lipoic Acid Supreme uses Bio-Enhanced® RLA, a stabilized and highly bioavailable form of R-lipoic acid.

Why is taurine included with R-lipoic acid?

Taurine (500 mg) complements R-lipoic acid by further supporting antioxidant status and healthy blood sugar metabolism.* Together, lipoic acid and taurine support these functions by neutralizing free radicals and reducing their creation within the mitochondria of cells, providing comprehensive metabolic and antioxidant support.*

Who may benefit most from Stabilized R-Lipoic Acid Supreme?

Individuals seeking healthy blood sugar metabolism support, those wanting bioavailable antioxidant support with the more biologically active form of lipoic acid, people needing glutathione and antioxidant repletion support, and those seeking mitochondrial function support with the synergistic combination of R-lipoic acid and taurine.*
