Best-selling protection against oxidative stress
Reap the youthful cellular energy benefits of our best-selling, highly bioavailable Super R-Lipoic Acid, a stable form of this powerful antioxidant.
What Is Super R-Lipoic Acid?
Published studies have shown the critical importance of lipoic acid in cellular energy maintenance, and our best-selling Super R-Lipoic Acid provides more of the active "R" form than conventional alpha-lipoic acid products.
The sodium salt of R-lipoic acid, which is the form used in Super R-Lipoic Acid, achieves 10-30 times higher peak blood levels than pure R-lipoic acid.
Super R-Lipoic Acid Benefits
- Supports healthy mitochondrial function
- Preserves youthful cellular energy
- Helps protect against oxidative stress
Next Generation Antioxidant
Through dedicated research and development, a highly absorbable form of R-lipoic acid has been discovered, and it is an antioxidant powerhouse. Through an innovative process, the biologically active “R” form of lipoic acid is converted to sodium-R-lipoate, which in a human study, achieved higher peak blood levels than pure R-lipoic acid.
R-lipoic acid is a powerful antioxidant that supports healthy mitochondria, preserves youthful cellular energy and helps protect against oxidative stress.
“R” Lipoic Acid is Biologically Active
Alpha-lipoic acid, the universal antioxidant, consists of two different forms, “R” and “S,” which have different properties. The “R” form is the biologically active component (native to the body) that is responsible for lipoic acid’s phenomenal antioxidant effect. The “S” form is not very biologically active. Alpha-lipoic acid supplements typically consist of the “R” and “S” form in a 50/50 ratio. That means a 100 mg alpha-lipoic acid supplement is providing 50 mg of the biologically active “R” form.
The human body normally produces and uses the “R” form of lipoic acid. R-lipoic acid helps support a healthy inflammatory response, is an excellent free radical scavenger and has been shown to be more bioavailable than the combined “R” and “S” forms that ordinarily comprise alpha-lipoic acid supplements.
Sodium-R-Lipoate is the “Next-Generation” Antioxidant
Through dedicated research and development, a novel form of R-lipoic acid has been developed and is seen as an antioxidant powerhouse. An innovative process converts the biologically active “R” form of lipoic acid to sodium-R-lipoate, which in a human study, achieved higher peak blood levels than pure R-lipoic acid.
Not only does this newer lipoic acid formulation reach higher peak blood levels, it also achieves them sooner, ensuring rapid uptake from the plasma into the tissues. A study showed that after oral ingestion of Super R-Lipoic Acid, sodium-R-lipoate reached peak plasma concentrations within just 10-20 minutes of supplementation.
Enhanced Antioxidant Activity
Unlike other forms of lipoic acid, sodium-R-lipoate is more stable in the body. The increased stability of this enhanced formulation is the reason for its greater absorption and bioavailability compared with R-lipoic acid.
The superior antioxidant effects of R-lipoic acid are already well-known for supporting healthy mitochondrial function. Now, Super R-Lipoic Acid provides even more benefits for preserving youthful cellular energy levels.

Vitamin B1 & antioxidant for muscle recovery support
Our muscle recovery support supplement is packed with potent antioxidant help, vitamin B1 benefits, luteolin to safeguard DNA and benfotiamine to help inhibit glycation.
What Is Super Carnosine?
Carnosine is a compound made up of the amino acids beta-alanine and L-histidine that acts as an antioxidant and a pH buffer, protecting muscle cell membranes from oxidation during and after exercise. Super Carnosine also contains luteolin, thiamine (vitamin B1) and benfotiamine to support DNA health and carnosine’s anti-aging benefits.
Super Carnosine protects DNA with powerful antioxidant properties plus luteolin, thiamine (vitamin B1) and benfotiamine.
Super Carnosine Benefits
- Provides powerful protection against oxidizing agents
- Supports muscle recovery during and after exercise
- Helps heart muscle contract efficiently
- Supports healthy aging by inhibiting glycation molecules
- Contains other nutrients that complement carnosine’s effects
Replenish Your Carnosine
Muscle cells naturally contain high levels of carnosine. But as we age, carnosine levels decline, making supplementation essential, especially for athletes. Our Super Carnosine formula contains 500 mg of this potent antioxidant, plus luteolin, thiamine (vitamin B1) and benfotiamine to support DNA health and carnosine's antioxidant and glycation-inhibiting benefits.
Carnosine and muscle health
Since carnosine acts as a pH buffer, it can help protect muscle cells from the acidic conditions of exercise. Muscle cells naturally contain high levels of carnosine. While those levels decline with age, they can be replenished with carnosine supplementation. Carnosine also helps heart muscle cells contract more efficiently by supporting their cellular response to calcium.
Powerful glycation-inhibiting agent
Carnosine helps inhibit glycation, a process in which non-enzyme controlled cross-linking of proteins or lipids with sugars can form nonfunctioning molecules. Because glycation affects your body’s essential proteins, it can contribute to a variety of age-related factors, such as wrinkled skin. And carnosine is one of the most potent glycation-inhibiting nutrients there is.
Luteolin, thiamine, and benfotiamine
Our Super Carnosine formula also contains luteolin to help safeguard DNA health, plus thiamine (vitamin B1) and benfotiamine (a derivative of thiamine) to help inhibit glycation reactions and complement the health benefits of carnosine.
