Super R-Lipoic Acid
Alpha-lipoic acid consists of two different forms (isomers) with different properties. The "R" shape is the biologically active component (natural to the body). The "S" form is produced by chemical synthesis and is not naturally biologically active. The human body itself produces and uses the "R" form of lipoic acid.
