Life Extension Super R-Lipoic Acid – Healthy Aging, oxidative Stress Defense – with 240 mg of Active R-Form of R-Lipoic Acid – Gluten-Free – Non-GMO – Vegetarian – 60 Capsules (2 Pack)

Work for me ,made my skin white and soft, don't use alcohol with it or see what happens.

R-lipoic acid is so much more potent and absorbs so much better than regular alpha-lipoic acid. I take R-ALA as an amazing remedy for many things: it restores my blood sugar levels, my metabolism, hormonal balance, lung health,my asthma, and it gives my skin a continuous, vibrant, and youthful glow. I feel it working in my sleep. It can be taken anytime with or without food, but The best way to get benefits from just 1 a day is with water on an empty stomach in the PM. Another astounding reveal is its water and fat solubility. R-ALA is so overlooked compared to regular ALA due to the fact that R-type is 9x more effective.

difficult to find.good quality

Price is quite high on these and after taking them for a month, I haven’t noticed any benefits from them. They aren’t too large and are easy to swallow. I don’t plan to purchase again since I noticed no benefits from them.

The antioxidant I never knew I needed. I cant say enough good things about this ALA. I just know I will not go without it ever again. It helped me get my taste back after an illness. I literally couldnt taste or smell for a week, lost almost 10 lbs, and didnt want to eat. I literally mean, NO smell - my dog had an accident next to my bed and i couldn’t smell it (so gross). I took this out of the capsule one night and couldnt taste it. The next day i did the same thing and it burned all the way down, never have been so thankful to experience that unpleasant thing! I think it was literally restoring my senses, it never burned again after that (i take it out of the capsule since i cant do pills/capsules). It worked within a couple of days for said reason. Really very thankful to have found this product, so thank you LE for producing it. Will definitely purchase again!

I use this to keep blood sugar in check and it's been wonderful. This brand is one of the only I can find with the higher dose per capsule. I've veered off to other brands, as well as regular Alpha Lipoic at times, but haven't gotten the same results- I can tell by whether or not I break out after having sugar. It's also a good anti-inflammatory.I initially began use due to claims about it reducing scar tissue. At this time (updated 2017), I've been using it almost daily for about eight years and haven't seen any change in scarring.However, I would absolutely recommend trying an R-lipoic product to those with adult acne (other medical conditions and health allowing). Mine was due to dietary sensitivities/allergies, sugar being one (other common ones are hormonal triggers like soy, peanuts, and milk containing rbst). After going sugar-free for almost two years with noted improvement, I added this and can now have sugar without skin issues. In addition to having eliminated my other dietary triggers, this has been the product, after years of dermatologists and prescriptions, that transformed my skin. Even if that's not what one's taking it for, I suppose it speaks for its effectiveness for blood sugar regulation. I notice an improvement in other facial inflammation, as well, when I take these.

So when I first started taking this at full strength, it made me feel AWFUL, anxiety, fatigue, lethargy. I am a female, 5’6” 130 lbs. I started halving the doses and taking it every other day and now I am LOVING it! I sleep better when I take it, my skin looks amazing, and best of all, it has helped with egg quality as I’m trying to get pregnant. I’ve only been halving the doses and taking it every other day for maybe a month, and this past month at day 11, my ultrasound at the doctor showed an egg of 21! I didn’t ovulate until two days later, so that egg was giant. Usually by day 11, it may be around 15-17, so that was a crazy improvement. I also take N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine to help with this. Def take this if you’re trying to improve egg quality, you may just have to adjust your dose.

Ended up using a different brand that was more affordable and worked as well.
