Product Description
Na R-Alpha Lipoic Acid (NaR-ALA) is the sodium salt of R-alpha lipoic acid (R-ALA). This form is much more bioavailable than unmodified R-ALA. The increased bioavailability means that even though sodium R-ALA only contains 70% R-ALA it can enter the blood stream in higher concentrations than an equivalent dose of R-ALA. R-ALA is an enzyme co-factor found in mitochondria that functions as an antioxidant. The ´…_R´…_ in R-Alpha Lipoic acid specifies the active form of this molecule.
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
R-ALA (70%)
*143mg of NaR-ALA delivers 100mg of R-ALA
WHERE IS IT FOUND
NaR-ALA is only available synthetically.
MAJOR USES
Antioxidant
Lowers blood sugar
Increased energy
Pregnant or nursing women should not use R-ALA supplements. Individuals with hypoglycemia should consult a physician prior to use. Do not substitute NaR-ALA for ALA (Alpha lipoic acid without the ´…_R´…_) without adjusting the dose: R-ALA is at least twice as potent as ALA (a 200mg dose of ALA would be equivalent in strength to a 100mg or smaller dose of R-ALA) and NaR-ALA is even more potent due to the enhanced bioavailability.
Directions: As a dietary supplement take 1 capsule up to 4 times daily.
