Product Name: R (+) alpha Lipoic acid

CAS#: 1200-22-2

Molecular Formula: C₈H₁₄O₂S₂

Molecular Weight: 206.33

Functional Use:

R-(+)Lipoic Acid has been called the mitochondrial antioxidant because it is a key component of mitochondrial dehydrogenase complexes, which may help slow the natural aging process in animals. R-lipoic acid may be more effective than other forms of lipoic acid in increasing or maintaining levels of other antioxidants that may decline with age, including CoQ10, vitamins C and E, and glutathione, according to animal research.
