| R-Lipoic acid contains 100 mg of pure R-lipoic acid. The R-lipoic acid isomer used in this formulation is provided in a stabilized form as potassium-R-lipoate and does not contain - any S-lipoic acid. Alpha-lipoic acid is unique among biological antioxidants, because it is soluble in both water and lipids. This solubility allows it to neutralize free radicals just about everywhere in the body, inside and outside the cells. Due to
its unique sulfur-containing structure, alpha-lipoic acid can scavenge several types of free radicals, such as the highly reactive hydroxyl, and singlet oxygen free radicals. It is also capable of suppressing the generation of free radicals in the
- first place, since alpha-lipoic acid chelates transition metals, such as iron and copper. Because alpha-lipoic acid is involved in so many different antioxidant functions in virtually all body tissues, it has been called the universal antioxidant. Many lipoic acid products contain a racemic mixture of both the R and S enantiomers of lipoic acid. The R-enantiomer of lipoic acid is naturally occurring, and has received special attention as studies indicate it may be better utilized by the body than a racemic mixture.
