Biomed Active R-Lipoic Acid

R-alpha-lipoic acid, the naturally occurring form

• 150 mg of R-alpha-lipoic acid per capsule, equivalent to 300 mg of alpha-lipoic acid
• Contains only the R form, not the synthetic racemic mixture
• Encapsulated at low temperature
• 60 capsules

Alpha-lipoic acid exists in two mirror-image forms. Only the R form occurs naturally in the body; ordinary alpha-lipoic acid supplements are a 50:50 mixture of R and S. Biomed Active R-Lipoic Acid contains the R form only, which is why 150 mg corresponds to 300 mg of a conventional alpha-lipoic acid preparation.

The capsules are filled at low temperature, which is done to keep the compound stable.
