Doctor's Best Stabilized R-Lipoic Acid, featuring BioEnhanced Na-RALA, the sodium salt of R-Lipoic acid (RLA). R-Lipoic Acid defends against free radicals, recycles the antioxidant Vitamins C & E in the body, helps maintain healthy glucose metabolism, supports cognitive function and brain health, as well as eye health, cardiovascular health and support in healthy aging.
Pure RLA is a very unstable molecule that has a tendency to polymerize with exposure to heat, light and moisture. BioEnhanced Na-RLA is a stabilized form of lipoic RLA that won't degrade at high temperatures. By taking the sodium salt of RLA, its solubility is increased and it has an improved dissolution in the body. It is more bioavailable than regular RLA and has no solvent residues. D-Biotin has also been added, as the need for this vitamin increases with lipoic acid supplementation.
