Formula re: Contains: Best Stabilized R-Lipoic Acid contains BioEnhanced(R) Na-RALA, the sodium salt of R-Lipoic acid (RLA).
Brand IP Statement(s) re: (c), (TM), (SM): Unlike pure RLA, BioEnhanced(R) Na-RALA is a stabilized form of RLA that won’t degrade at high temperatures, is more bioavailable than regular RLA and has no solvent residues.
All Other Content: Lipoic acid (LA) plays an important role in glucose metabolism and energy production. Because it is soluble in both water and fat, LA is known as the “universal antioxidant.” LA occurs in two forms, designated as “R” and “S.” Studies suggest that RLA, the natural form, is more biologically active than the S form.
Formula re: Contains: Note: The RLA in this product is stabilized with Na (sodium). However, one serving of this product contains less than 1% of the Daily Value for sodium, an insignificant contribution to dietary sources.
Precautions re: All Other: Research suggests that sodium may impact blood pressure in some individuals only when it is consumed as sodium chloride (NaCl, table salt) and not in other forms. The sodium in this product is unlikely to affect blood pressure levels.
