AOR High Dose R-Lipoic Acid 300 mg, 90 Veggie Caps

Lipoic acid is an antioxidant with a reputation as the captain of the antioxidants because it helps recycle and recharge others, including vitamins C and E and glutathione. It comes in two mirror-image forms, and the R(+) form is the one the body makes and uses. AOR was the first company to offer pure R-lipoic acid, back in 1999, and this is its high-dose version for people who want more in fewer capsules.

Each capsule provides 300 mg of lipoic acid as the sodium salt, at least 80% in the R form, with 30 mg of sodium per capsule and only sodium stearyl fumarate added.

• 90 veggie capsules
• 300 mg R-lipoic acid (sodium salt) per capsule
• Hypromellose capsule

Lipoic acid is a versatile antioxidant known for its ability to protect the brain and nerve cells from free radicals and heavy metals that promote cognitive and neurodegenerative diseases. Lipoic acid is known as the “captain of the antioxidants” due to its ability to recycle and recharge other antioxidants such as vitamins C and E. Numerous studies have shown that lipoic acid can balance blood sugar and repair nerves damaged by diabetes. Additionally, this powerful anti-aging nutrient has been shown to mimic some of the effects of caloric restriction, the only proven method of extending health span and lifespan. It does so by protecting the mitochondria against free radical damage. Due to its action on the mitochondria it can revive damaged cells, especially those found in nerves and in the liver. It is a powerful partner for glutathione, the most powerful antioxidant produced in the body.

R-Lipoic acid is a powerful, natural and well-rounded antioxidant with many actions such as repairing nerves, balancing blood sugar, protecting the brain and increasing energy formation in the mitochondria. Regular doses of lipoic acid are recommended for maintaining overall general health while high doses of R( ) lipoic acid are recommended for the management of high blood sugar, diabetic neuropathy and weight.
