## Overview

Life Extension Super R-Lipoic Acid delivers a potent 240 mg dose of the biologically active R-form alpha-lipoic acid per vegetarian capsule, providing superior antioxidant protection and mitochondrial support.

## Description

Super R-Lipoic Acid is a cellular energy health support supplement. In the body, lipoic acid is a powerful antioxidant. But not all lipoic acid supplements are the same. That’s because there are two forms of lipoic acid. For simplicity’s sake, we’ll call the forms “R” and “S.” The “R” form is biologically active in your body. The “S” form, not so much. Our R-Lipoic Acid formula delivers 240 mg of the “R” form of lipoic acid for powerful oxidative stress protection and cell energy support.

Review: Recommended for energy & mitochondrial support — noticeable difference - This was recommended to me specifically for cellular energy, mitochondrial support, and heart health, especially during times of fatigue and stress. Ubiquinol is the active, more absorbable form of CoQ10, which is why this one made sense for me. Instead of feeling like a stimulant, it supports energy at a deeper level — I feel more steady, less depleted, and better overall throughout the day. What I appreciate most is how gentle it is. No jitters, no upset stomach, no weird side effects. Just a subtle but noticeable improvement in baseline energy and resilience. If you’ve tried CoQ10 before and didn’t feel much, or if you’re dealing with low energy, stress, or want to support heart and cellular health as you get older, ubiquinol is worth considering — and this has been a solid, well-tolerated option for me.
Review: Excellent - I have taken this for a few years now. This is the best form of alpha lipoic acid. If it doesn't have the R, it's synthetic and it's junk. This bottle lasts me two months usually. I take one every morning on an empty stomach with water, about 15 minutes before I have coffee. I initially started taking this for fibromyalgia-like pains in my arms and shoulders. This supplement, along with strengthening my back, has eliminated my pain. I believe this supplement is very effective for nerve and muscle pain. I've read a book about lipoic acid and the benefits are massive. It's an anti oxidant that's natural and as you age, your body makes less of it. This is a supplement that actually works. I have my husband taking it now too. Pills aren't too big and are easy to swallow with water. Container is easy to open. I think the company, life extension, makes quality supplements.

## Features

- A superior form of lipoic acid: Alpha-lipoic acid is a powerful antioxidant. But there are two forms: “R” and “S.” One of them, the “R” form, is more biologically active. Life Extension’s Super R-Lipoic Acid formula provides only the active form of alpha lipoic acid.
- Powerful antioxidant: Why take R-lipoic acid anyway? The reason lies at the cellular level. Your environment and stress (among other factors) create free radical compounds, which can affect your body’s delicate cellular functions. Alpha-lipoic acid helps protect against oxidative stress.
- Powerful dose: Super R-Lipoic acid provides 240 mg of the “active” form of lipoic acid (R-lipoic acid) in each vegetarian capsule. There are 60 capsules in every bottle, enough to provide a 1-2 month supply, depending on dosing. Non-GMO, gluten-free, manufactured in the USA.
- Ingredients matter – Sourced using only the finest raw ingredients with the purity and potency your body deserves. The majority of our products are non-GMO, gluten-free and manufactured in the USA—and a Certificate of Analysis is available for every product we produce.
- Live your healthiest life – For over 40 years, we’ve been developing advanced, effective formulas made with the highest standards and based on the latest scientific findings. We believe the answers to a healthier, richer life are within reach, and that rigorous scientific research is the path to get us there. That’s why so many of our nutritional formulas are designed using specific ingredients and amounts based on scientific studies.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do the 'other ingredients' now list magnesium stearate?  There is no magnesium stearate listed in the photo.**
A: Could someone please explain what is junky about the magnesium salt of a natural occurring fatty acid?  Do you refuse to eat chocolate because its fats are at least 25% stearic acid?
What would you prefer they use as a flow control agent?   Cadmium oleate?

**Q: Does this contain magnesium stearate?  I this made and sourced in the US?**
A: Just purchased on 1/26/17 and yes now contains Stearic acid. Very upsetting cause before ingredients were: veggie capsule, rice flour and Leucine. I will not be buying anymore Lifeextension products. The whole point in taking a supplement is to get healthier not ingest more poisonous fillers. Im very upset about this change in ingredients.

**Q: Is this r-lipoic acid or is it r-alpha lipoic acid?**
A: Alpha-lipoic acid supplements typically consist of an "R" and "S" form in a 50/50 ratio.  The "S" form is not very active in the body and the "R" form is the highly active form that is responsible for the antioxidant effect.  If you have additional questions or concerns please call our Wellness Specialists toll-free at 1-800-226-2370. You can reach them from 8 a.m. to 1 a.m. weekdays and 9 a.m. to 1 a.m. weekends ET.

**Q: Is this r-lipoic acid or is it r-alpha lipoic acid?**
A: It doesn't say on the bottle, but I have assumed it was r-alpha lipoic acid.  I checked to see what the difference was between the two (online) and it says that alpha lipoic acid exists in two forms S-alpha and R-alpha lipoic acid.  The S form is not natural, but the R form is.  That is all I know.
