R-ALA

The α-lipoic acid, commonly known as R-ALA, is a potent antioxidant of great efficiency that acts as a co-factor in a multitude of enzyme complexes, helps to combat the body's free radicals and has the potential to regenerate other antioxidants¹.

Similarly, animal studies affirm that adequate supplementation with R-ALA can be a means to modulate the accumulation of age-related cortical iron content, and reduce the oxidative stress associated with aging².

R-ALA, from Vitobest®, contains in its formulation 100% racemic α-lipoic acid (the only configuration that our body can synthesize and the most effective), which doubles its effectiveness compared to most products marketed with this active ingredient and that only contain a 50% racemic mixture.

Made by Alipure®, the leading brand in the sector with wide international recognition, the one used in our formulation, in addition to the highest quality, ensures that our product is one of the best on the market.

Vitobest® uses for this supplement vegetable capsules (VegeCaps) suitable for vegan diets and free of titanium dioxide.
