Super R-Lipoic Acid 240mg by Life Extension – 60 Veg Caps

Super R-Lipoic Acid by Life Extension® delivers 240mg of R-lipoic acid per capsule as sodium-R-lipoate (Na-RALA) — a stabilized, next-generation form that achieves 10–30x higher peak blood levels than pure R-lipoic acid, with peak plasma concentrations reached within just 10–20 minutes of supplementation.* This is the biologically active “R” form of alpha-lipoic acid — the form native to the human body — delivering superior antioxidant, mitochondrial, and cellular energy support.*

Key Benefits

• ✅ 10–30x higher peak blood levels — sodium-R-lipoate achieves dramatically higher plasma concentrations than pure R-lipoic acid in human studies*
• ✅ Rapid absorption — peak plasma concentrations reached within 10–20 minutes of oral supplementation*
• ✅ Mitochondrial support — supports healthy mitochondrial function and preserves youthful cellular energy levels*
• ✅ Powerful antioxidant — scavenges free radicals and supports a healthy inflammatory response*
• ✅ Protects against oxidative stress — supports cellular protection from oxidative damage*
• ✅ Biologically active “R” form only — not the 50/50 R/S mix found in standard alpha-lipoic acid supplements
• ✅ Enhanced stability — sodium-R-lipoate is more stable than pure R-lipoic acid, contributing to greater absorption and bioavailability*
• ✅ 60 vegetarian capsules — 30–60 day supply at 1–2 capsules daily

Who It’s For

• Those following HTMA or functional health protocols addressing oxidative stress, detoxification, or mitochondrial function*
• Anyone wanting the most bioavailable form of R-lipoic acid available*
• Those seeking cellular energy support and healthy aging through mitochondrial protection*
• Anyone upgrading from standard alpha-lipoic acid supplements to the pure, active “R” form

Why Sodium-R-Lipoate vs. Standard Alpha-Lipoic Acid?

Standard alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) supplements contain a 50/50 mix of the “R” and “S” forms. Only the “R” form is biologically active — native to the human body and responsible for lipoic acid’s antioxidant effects. The “S” form is not significantly bioactive. This means a 100mg ALA supplement delivers only 50mg of the active form.

Sodium-R-lipoate (Na-RALA) takes this further: an innovative process converts the “R” form into a stabilized sodium salt that is more stable, more rapidly absorbed, and achieves 10–30x higher peak blood levels than pure R-lipoic acid — with peak plasma concentrations within 10–20 minutes.* This makes Super R-Lipoic Acid one of the most potent and bioavailable lipoic acid supplements available.*
