Alpha Lipoic Acid Supplement

Alpha Lipoic Acid is a powerful antioxidant that occurs naturally in cells. It has good fat solubility and water solubility, so it can be quickly absorbed and used by cells. There are two forms of α-lipoic acid: the R type that occurs naturally in the body and the synthetic S type. It has more advantages than glutathione and cysteine ​​in providing antioxidant protection.
In Europe and the United States, lipoic acid has long been used in dietary nutritional supplements. 

The Alpha Lipoic Acid Supplement on the market are a mix of both forms. The health-boosting effects are almost entirely due to the R type, so the natural form is more bioavailable.
