View larger.R-Alpha Lipoic Acid: Natural Form of Alpha Lipoic Acid Most alpha lipoic acid (ALA) products contain a racemic mixture of R-Alpha Lipoic Acid (R-ALA) and S-Alpha Lipoic Acid (S-ALA). Generally, equal amounts of R- and S- forms are produced during the manufacturing process of alpha lipoic acid, and thus, these products contain R-ALA and S-ALA in an equal ratio of 1:1. However, R-ALA is the only form of lipoic acid that is endogenously synthesized in humans and other organisms. Human pharmacokinetic studies have shown that peak concentrations of R-ALA are 40-50 percent higher than S-ALA after oral supplementation of racemic preparations, suggesting that R-ALA may have better absorption and bioavailability. In animal studies, R-ALA supplementation has shown better biological effects such as insulin-stimulated glucose transport, glucose metabolism, and antioxidative status. Thus, R-ALA may provide superior health benefits compared to racemic mixtures (R-ALA and S-ALA) or S-ALA alone.*Energy Production and Glucose and Lipid Metabolism One of the major functions of R-ALA is to enhance energy production via improved mitochondrial functions.* R-ALA is a disulfide compound and it is naturally found in mitochondria as a coenzyme for pyruvate dehydrogenase and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, directly helping mitochondrial energy production. It also helps mitochondria as an efficient antioxidant by protecting against oxidative stress that may impair or slow down mitochondria.
