Life Extension Super R-Lipoic Acid Description
- Super R-Lipoic Acid is a cellular energy health support supplement. In the body, lipoic acid is a powerful antioxidant. But not all lipoic acid supplements are the same.
- That’s because there are two forms of lipoic acid. For simplicity’s sake, we’ll call the forms “R” and “S.” The “R” form is biologically active in your body.
- The “S” form, not so much.
- Our R-Lipoic Acid formula delivers 240 mg of the “R” form of lipoic acid for powerful oxidative stress protection and cell energy support.
R-lipoic acid is a powerful antioxidant. In the body, R-lipoic acid helps support healthy mitochondria, cellular energy, and protects against oxidative stress.
“R” Lipoic Acid is Biologically Active
Alpha-lipoic acid, the universal antioxidant, consists of two different forms, “R” and “S,” which have different properties.The “R” form is the biologically active component (native to the body) that is responsible for lipoic acid’s phenomenal antioxidant effect. The “S” form is not very biologically active. Alpha-lipoic acid supplements typically consist of the “R” and “S” form in a 50/50 ratio. That means a 100 mg alpha-lipoic acid supplement usually provides 50 mg of the biologically active “R” form.
The human body normally produces and uses the “R” form of lipoic acid.Our product contains only the biologically active “R” form and provides a whooping 240 mg per serving!

A superior form of lipoic acid: Alpha-lipoic acid is a powerful antioxidant. But there are two forms: “R” and “S.” One of them, the “R” form, is more biologically active. Life Extension’s Super R-Lipoic Acid formula provides only the active form of alpha lipoic acid.
-
Powerful antioxidant: Why take R-lipoic acid anyway? The reason lies at the cellular level. Your environment and stress (among other factors) create free radical compounds, which can affect your body’s delicate cellular functions. Alpha-lipoic acid helps protect against oxidative stress.
-
