SAN’s Stabilized Na-R-ALA contains the worlds first form of Na-R-ALA, the sodium salt of R-Lipoic Acid (RLA). Unlike ordinary R-ALA, SAN’s Na-R-ALA is a stabilized form of R-ALA that won’t polymerize (degrade) at high temperatures. Na-R-ALA is fully water soluble and hence more effectively absorbed by the intestinal tract. New Scientific Medical Research† demonstrated that the powerful antioxidant effects of the “R” isomer of Lipoic Acid are far more valuable than its synthetic cousin ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid R/S). Additionally, SAN’s sodium salt of R-ALA is more bioavailable and stable than Potassium R-ALA, plus it readily crosses over to cells- which in turn guard the mitochondria (the cells powerhouse factory) from radical damage. The Na-R-ALA manufacturing process is extremely difficult, but fortunately SAN was able to secure a material with a purity in excess of 85%. Each serving of Na-R-ALA contains 117mg (85% Pure Biosolv Enhance NA-R-ALA) of this active form which provides over 350% more value than ordinary alpha lipoic acid (ALA).
