## Description

Life Extension Super R-Lipoic Acid, 240mg, 60-Count : desertcart.in: Health & Personal Care

## Features

- A superior form of lipoic acid: Alpha-lipoic acid is a powerful antioxidant. But there are two forms: “R” and “S.” One of them, the “R” form, is more biologically active. Life Extension’s Super R-Lipoic Acid formula provides only the active form of alpha lipoic acid.
- Powerful antioxidant: Why take R-lipoic acid anyway? The reason lies at the cellular level. Your environment and stress (among other factors) create free radical compounds, which can affect your body’s delicate cellular functions. Alpha-lipoic acid helps protect against oxidative stress.
- Powerful dose: Super R-Lipoic acid provides 240 mg of the “active” form of lipoic acid (R-lipoic acid) in each vegetarian capsule. There are 60 capsules in every bottle, enough to provide a 1-2 month supply, depending on dosing. Non-GMO, gluten-free, manufactured in the USA.
- Ingredients matter – Sourced using only the finest raw ingredients with the purity and potency your body deserves. The majority of our products are non-GMO, gluten-free and manufactured in the USA—and a Certificate of Analysis is available for every product we produce.
- Live your healthiest life – For over 40 years, we’ve been developing advanced, effective formulas made with the highest standards and based on the latest scientific findings. We believe the answers to a healthier, richer life are within reach, and that rigorous scientific research is the path to get us there. That’s why so many of our nutritional formulas are designed using specific ingredients and amounts based on scientific studies.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do the 'other ingredients' now list magnesium stearate?  There is no magnesium stearate listed in the photo.**
A: Could someone please explain what is junky about the magnesium salt of a natural occurring fatty acid?  Do you refuse to eat chocolate because its fats are at least 25% stearic acid?
What would you prefer they use as a flow control agent?   Cadmium oleate?

**Q: Does this contain magnesium stearate?  I this made and sourced in the US?**
A: Just purchased on 1/26/17 and yes now contains Stearic acid. Very upsetting cause before ingredients were: veggie capsule, rice flour and Leucine. I will not be buying anymore Lifeextension products. The whole point in taking a supplement is to get healthier not ingest more poisonous fillers. Im very upset about this change in ingredients.

**Q: Is this r-lipoic acid or is it r-alpha lipoic acid?**
A: Alpha-lipoic acid supplements typically consist of an "R" and "S" form in a 50/50 ratio.  The "S" form is not very active in the body and the "R" form is the highly active form that is responsible for the antioxidant effect.  If you have additional questions or concerns please call our Wellness Specialists toll-free at 1-800-226-2370. You can reach them from 8 a.m. to 1 a.m. weekdays and 9 a.m. to 1 a.m. weekends ET.

**Q: Is this r-lipoic acid or is it r-alpha lipoic acid?**
A: It doesn't say on the bottle, but I have assumed it was r-alpha lipoic acid.  I checked to see what the difference was between the two (online) and it says that alpha lipoic acid exists in two forms S-alpha and R-alpha lipoic acid.  The S form is not natural, but the R form is.  That is all I know.
