How does Alpha Lipoic Acid differ from other forms of Lipoic Acid? Lipoic Acid exists in three forms: Alpha R-Lipoic Acid, Alpha S-Lipoic Acid and Alpha RS-Lipoic Acid. Some facts about these forms include: Alpha S-Lipoic Acid and Alpha RS-Lipoic Acid are synthetics that were created by chemical synthesis in the 1950s and are more commonly known and sold as Alpha Lipoic Acid. Alpha R-Lipoic Acid is the natural, "fully active" form of Lipoic Acid, the only version that exists in nature, produced in the body and synthesized by both plants and animals. Research indicates that Alpha R-Lipoic Acid is the proper, structural fit for membrane receptors and enzymes; therefore, it is metabolized more efficiently and with much greater potency than the synthetic "unnatural forms." What does Alpha R-Lipoic Acid do? Alpha R-Lipoic Acid is a naturally occurring antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals. A free radical is an atom or molecule with at least one unpaired electron. The free radical...
