More information about R(+) Alpha-Lipoic Acid 100 mg (60 vegetarian capsules) - Vitaplex
Vitaplex presents R(+) alpha‑Lipoic Acid (R(+) ALA) at a 100 mg dose in each vegetarian capsule, totaling 60 servings per bottle. R(+) ALA is the bioactive, naturally occurring form of ALA—favored for superior absorption and antioxidant action compared to the common racemic form.
What is R(+) Alpha‑Lipoic Acid?
ALA is a sulfur-containing antioxidant crucial in energy metabolism and redox balance. It supports antioxidant defenses and mitochondrial enzyme function. The R(+) (or RLA) enantiomer matches human biology and exhibits higher bioavailability and activity .
Why 100 mg per Capsule?
This moderate dosage is ideal for routine antioxidant support. Clinical studies often use 300–600 mg daily, while R(+) ALA may offer comparable benefits at lower doses due to its increased bioactivity.
