R-Alpha Lipoic Acid: Antioxidant support, energy production, neurological support, blood sugar control and skin health

Swanson R-Fraction Alpha Lipoic Acid is a dietary supplement containing a highly bioavailable form of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), a natural antioxidant found in the body. This specific form of ALA is called R-lipoic acid and is considered to be the most effective and biologically active form of alpha-lipoic acid.

Alpha-lipoic acid is an important co-factor in several key metabolic reactions in the body and has been shown to have various health benefits. It has antioxidant properties and helps regenerate other antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, glutathione and coenzyme Q10. It also plays a role in energy metabolism, helping to convert glucose into energy, and has been studied for its potential benefits in diabetes, neurological disorders and skin health.
 

• R-Alpha Lipoic Acid Antioxidant Support:

As an antioxidant, alpha-lipoic acid, and specifically the R-lipoic acid form in Swanson R-Fraction Alpha Lipoic Acid, may help neutralize harmful free radicals in the body. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage cells and contribute to aging and disease. By neutralising these free radicals, alpha-lipoic acid can help protect cells from oxidative stress and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease and Alzheimer's disease.
 

• R-Alpha Lipoic Acid and Energy Production:

Alpha-lipoic acid plays a crucial role in energy production, helping to convert glucose into ATP, the body's main source of energy. In doing so, it can help improve energy levels and reduce fatigue. Studies have also shown that alpha-lipoic acid may be particularly useful for people with diabetes, as it can improve glucose uptake into cells and reduce insulin resistance.
 

• R-Alpha Lipoic Acid and Neurological Support:

R-lipoic acid has been studied for its potential benefits in neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis. It may help protect nerve cells from damage and reduce inflammation in the brain. Studies have also shown that R-lipoic acid can improve cognitive function in people with cognitive impairment.
 

• R-Alpha Lipoic Acid and Blood Sugar Control:

Alpha-lipoic acid has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake into cells, making it a potential treatment option for diabetes and other conditions related to blood sugar regulation. One study found that taking alpha-lipoic acid for four weeks significantly reduced blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.
 

• R-Alpha Lipoic Acid and Skin Health:

R-lipoic acid has been studied for its potential benefits in skin health. It may help protect against sun damage, improve skin texture and tone, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. One study found that applying a topical cream containing R-lipoic acid reduced the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in the eye area.
