RLA and its reduced form, R-DHLA (RLA/R-DHLA) are the naturally occurring forms of lipoic acid: nutrients present in every cell of the body, bound to enzymes and essential to energy producing chemical reactions. Low baseline (prior to supplementation) levels of RLA have been correlated to a variety of disease states. The redox (reduction-oxidation) pair may provide more anti-oxidant protection than either alone. Regular users have detectable blood levels even after a 4 day washout period. Blood levels of RLA when in combination with R-DHLA are higher than RLA alone and detectable for longer periods. RLA/R-DHLA function together as a powerful antioxidant pair with the ability to: • Quench numerous types of free radicals in both the lipid and water-soluble portions of tissues and cells. • Reduce oxidized vitamins C, E, glutathione and CoQ10 back to their active forms. R-lipoic acid / R-dihydrolipoic acid: • Neuroprotective • Help control blood sugar • Increase ATP levels (raise energy naturally). • Chelate heavy metals. • Reverse enzyme and DNA oxidative damage. • Cross the blood brain barrier. • Improve metabolism • Increase G.I. absorption • Reduce Inflammation • Increase bioavailability of RLA.

More about R-lipoic acid: R-lipoic acid modulates cellular signaling processes by changing the energy staus of the cell and by acting as a low-level stressor that turns on the basic cellular defenses (antioxidant and phase-two detoxification enzymes) of the body, including those that naturally decline with age. RLA tends to restore levels of glutathione, a protective antioxidant and detoxification compound and its related enzymes. With age, glutathione levels naturally decline, making us more susceptible to both free radicals and other environmental toxins. RLA reduces mitochondrial decay in cells, which is closely linked to the symptoms of aging. |
