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.

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.
Powerful dose: Super R-Lipoic acid provides 240 mg of the “active” form of lipoic acid (R-lipoic acid) in each vegetarian capsule. There are 60 capsules in every bottle, enough to provide a 1-2 month supply, depending on dosing. Non-GMO, gluten-free, manufactured in the USA.

Customers find the supplement effective, with one noting it works well with Resveratrol, and many reporting it helps with nerve pain and neuropathy. The product receives positive feedback for blood sugar control, with one customer reporting their levels dropping from 160 to 110 after a single capsule, and for energy, with one noting a subtle but noticeable improvement in baseline energy and resilience. While the composition receives positive reviews for being the superior form of Lipoic Acid, customers have mixed experiences with digestibility, with some finding it easier to tolerate two capsules at once while others report nausea. The duration and pill size also receive mixed feedback, with one customer noting it lasts for hours and another reporting capsules that were not full.
