Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant and occurs naturally as a 50/50 mixture of R-lipoic acid and S-lipoic acid. R-lipoic acid by itself functions as an essential cofactor for many enzymes involved in energy production. Studies indicate that supplements containing only R-lipoic acid appear to be better absorbed than supplements containing both R-lipoic acid and S-lipoic acid. R-lipoic acid may be used to help metabolize glucose, produce energy, regulate blood sugar levels, manage type 2 diabetes, improve neuropathy symptoms, promote weight loss, decrease inflammation, promote healthy nerve function, and boost immune system function. This IC was made with the help of R-lipoic acid bound to sodium, providing it in its most stable, absorbable form.
