R-Lipoic Acid featuring BioEnhanced™ Na-RALA
Product Overview
Power up your cellular energy with Doctor’s Best Stablised R-Lipoic Acid featuring BioEnhanced™ Na-RALA – a multitasking antioxidant formula that supports energy production and cellular health. Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a sulfur-containing compound that plays a role in energy metabolism, helping convert glucose into energy by helping break down carbohydrates and fats from food. This formula includes D-Biotin, a water-soluble B-vitamin that supports energy metabolism by aiding in carbohydrate and fatty acid breakdown. Long-term ALA supplementation may impact biotin-dependent enzymes, so the inclusion of D-Biotin helps with maintain optimal biotin levels.
ALA is both water-soluble and fat-soluble, making it a versatile antioxidant in the body capable of operating in all bodily environments outside and within cells. Antioxidants work to neutralise free radical molecules – unstable molecules associated with oxidative stress. ALA also acts as a potent mitochondrial antioxidant to further support cellular health.
- Antioxidant support contributes to the body’s natural defense against oxidative stress
- Supports glucose metabolism to fuel cells and may assist in maintaining healthy blood sugar levels
- Delivers brain benefits with its antioxidant support helping maintain brain function and clarity with age
- Studied for its supportive role in retinal and circulatory health
- Non-GMO, Gluten free, Soy free, 100% vegan
How Alpha-lipoic Acid Works
Alpha-lipoic acid is a multitasking antioxidant that helps your body create energy – supporting healthy glucose metabolism, especially when combined with exercise. What makes Alpha-lipoic acid unique? It not only fights free radicals but also recycles other antioxidants like Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and glutathione – helping the body maintain antioxidant balance. It even transforms into the potent antioxidant dihydrolipoic acid that supports cellular mitochondria (tiny powerhouses within cells known as energy factories).
With age, Alpha-lipoic acid levels naturally decline, which can impact energy production and increase oxidative stress. Alpha-lipoic acid supports cellular health and energy by helping mitochondria function at their best. With the brain being especially vulnerable to oxidative stress, research suggests Alpha-lipoic acid may delivery additional support for mental functioning and clarity as part of healthy ageing. It’s also been studied for its role in eye health, and may support heart health by helping maintain a healthy weight and aiding natural fat metabolism.
Stabilised R-Lipoic Acid vs Controlled Release Products
Alpha-lipoic acid comes in two forms: R-lipoic acid (RLA), the naturally occurring type found in your body, and S-lipoic acid (SLA), a synthetic version. Research suggests that RLA is more easily absorbed by the body – making it the preferred choice for supporting energy and antioxidant balance. The challenge has been to manufacture this in a stabilised supplemental form.
Doctor’s Best Stabilized R-Lipoic Acid featuring BioEnhanced™ Na-RALA has solved the dilemma by providing a stabilised form of RLA for better uptake and bioavailability. This unique form resists heat, light, and moisture – helping to protect its potency.
While some Alpha-lipoic acid supplements use slow-release formulas, studies indicate that Alpha-lipoic acid’s rapid absorption works in your favour, delivering antioxidant support when your body needs it most.
To round out the benefits, this formula also includes D-Biotin – a B-vitamin that supports energy metabolism and helps maintain healthy biotin levels during long-term Alpha-lipoic acid use.
