R+ Alpha Lipoic Acid contains 150 mg of R(+)-alpha lipoic acid per capsule. R(+)-alpha-lipoic acid is the natural form of ALA that plays a pivotal role in supporting the body's key antioxidants' lifespan and plays a role in metabolizing glucose.
Common alpha-lipoic acid supplements are a 50/50 mixture of the natural R-lipoic acid and the synthetic S-lipoic acid; these mixtures are called "racemic mixtures" or "racemates". In some cases, S(-)-lipoic acid is simply less effective than R(+)-lipoic acid. But in other cases, the S-form acts in the opposite way to the activity of R-lipoic acid. Only the R(+) enantiomer exists in nature; it is an essential cofactor of four mitochondrial enzyme complexes, and the only form our bodies can synthesize.
