R-(+)-Lipoic Acid

    Alpha Lipoic Acid is an organosulfur compound derived from octanoic acid. which is made in animals normally, and is essential for aerobic metabolism. It is also manufactured and is available as a dietary supplement in some countries where it is marketed as an antioxidant and is available as a pharmaceutical drug in other countries.

    Lipoic acid comes in two forms, designated as “R-lipoic acid” and “S-lipoic acid”, where R-form is more bioavailable and more absorbable form of lipoic acid. Lipoic acid is not very stable with a tendency to polymerize with exposure to heat, light, and moisture. Such issue can be solved by stabilizing lipoic acid (same as R-lipoic acid) with sodium, tromethamine etc. Stabilized lipoic acid/R-lipoic acid possess improved solubility and bioavailability, compared to regular lipoic acid.
