Alpha Lipoic Acid 250mg

R-Alpha-Lipoic Acid (R-ALA) is a powerful antioxidant that plays a crucial role in energy metabolism and cellular protection. Naturally produced in small amounts by the body, R-ALA helps convert glucose into energy and neutralises free radicals, making it essential for healthy ageing, blood sugar balance, and overall vitality.

Unlike the synthetic form (S-ALA), R-Alpha-Lipoic Acid is the biologically active isomer, meaning it is more effective and better utilised by the body. As we age, our natural production of R-ALA decreases, and lifestyle factors like stress, pollution, and poor diet further accelerate oxidative stress and metabolic decline — making supplementation a smart way to support long-term health.

While R-ALA is found in foods like spinach, broccoli, and organ meats, dietary intake is often too low to deliver noticeable benefits, especially when targeting longevity, energy, or blood sugar regulation.

THE BENEFITS OF R-ALPHA-LIPOIC ACID

• Cellular Energy Production Plays a vital role in mitochondrial function, helping your body produce energy more efficiently.
• Blood Sugar Support Helps regulate blood glucose levels by improving insulin sensitivity, especially beneficial for metabolic health.
• Potent Antioxidant Power Fights oxidative stress and inflammation — two major contributors to ageing and chronic disease.
• Nerve & Brain Support May reduce symptoms of nerve discomfort and support cognitive performance by protecting brain cells from damage.
  
• Liver Health Supports detoxification and protects the liver against oxidative damage.
