About Supplements.co.nz Doctor's Best Stabilized R-Lipoic Acid with Na-RALA 100mg

Lipoic Acid occurs naturally in animals and is essential for aerobic metabolism. However, over the years it is being increasingly used as a dietary supplement in some countries and as a pharmaceutical drug in other countries. Lipoic Acid is a very effective antioxidant and supports the body’s defense against free radicals.

R-Lipoic Acid is in fact, sometimes referred to as the emperor of the antioxidant world. Commonly known as Alpha-lipoic acid, it functions as a water as well as fat soluble antioxidant.
