GN NARALpha Lipoic Acid 60 Capsules

GN NARAlpha Lipoic Acid capsules contain sodium-stabilized R-alpha lipoic acid (NA-R-alpha lipoic acid). This is the naturally occurring, bioactive form of alpha lipoic acid, which is better absorbed by the body than the synthetic S-form.
Each capsule contains 200 mg of NA-R-alpha lipoic acid. The recommended dosage is one capsule daily with meals.

The product GN NAR-Alpha Lipoic Acid (60 capsules) is suitable for both vegetarian and vegan diets. The capsule shell is made of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), a plant-based alternative to animal gelatin. The active ingredients and excipients are also free of animal-derived components.

The stabilized NA-R form of alpha-lipoic acid in the product GN NARAlpha Lipoic Acid offers significant advantages over conventional ALA products due to its drastically increased bioavailability. While ordinary alpha-lipoic acid is usually a racemic mixture of the natural R-form and the synthetic S-form, this product utilizes only the biologically active R-form, which the body can absorb much more efficiently. Since pure R-alpha-lipoic acid is very unstable and polymerizes rapidly during storage or exposure to heat, severely hindering absorption in the intestines, binding to sodium ensures optimal stability. This NA-R-ALA form is significantly more water-soluble than unstable R-ALA or conventional mixed forms, thus achieving considerably higher peak concentrations in blood plasma, often ten to forty times higher than those of conventional preparations. The improved thermal stability also guarantees that the active ingredient retains its full activity throughout the entire storage period and is quickly and completely absorbed into the bloodstream without clumping or being excreted unused.

Yes, alpha-lipoic acid can support the body's own regeneration of other antioxidants such as vitamin C and vitamin E by converting their used forms back into their active, antioxidant form.
