R-Lipoic Acid 100mg

$19.95

Piping Rock’s R-Fraction Alpha Lipoic Acid:

Piping Rock carries a scientifically-crafted Alpha Lipoic Acid formula for daily support. Unlike most brands, ours uses R Fraction (Natural) ALA that is higher quality and found in nature. A single Quick-Release capsule per serving makes it super convenient to take on-the-go or for any lifestyle.

Here are the key, research-backed benefits of Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA):

·       Powerful antioxidant: Works in both water- and fat-soluble tissues, regenerating vitamins C & E and boosting glutathione to combat oxidative stress.

·       Mitochondrial support & energy: Acts as a cofactor in mitochondrial enzymes, helping cells produce ATP more efficiently.

·       Blood-sugar management: May improve insulin sensitivity and help lower fasting glucose—often used as adjunct support in type 2 diabetes.

·       Nerve health: Shown to reduce symptoms of peripheral neuropathy (tingling, burning, pain), especially in diabetic neuropathy.

·       Cardiometabolic support: Can help reduce inflammation and improve certain lipid markers.

·       Skin & aging: Antioxidant activity may support skin firmness and protect against photo-aging.

·       Heavy-metal support: Binds some metals in lab settings; used in protocols that support the body’s detox defenses.

Common doses are 300–600 mg/day (often on an empty stomach). R-ALA is the naturally occurring isomer and may be more bioactive. If you take diabetes or thyroid meds, have a B1 deficiency, or are pregnant/breastfeeding, check with your clinician before use.

Alpha Lipoic Acid also known as Thiotic Acid, is a sulfur compound derived from Caprylic Acid that’s naturally occurring in the body. ALA is a major antioxidant that plays a vital role in your daily wellness. Alpha Lipoic Acid consists of a mixture of R (Natural) and S (Unnatural) ALA. The vast majority of supplements contain the unnatural S form that is not found anywhere in nature. It’s cheaper to produce and sub-standard quality.

There are many foods that naturally contain a presence of Alpha Lipoic Acid. This includes fruits and vegetables like Spinach, Broccoli, Tomatoes, Brussel Sprouts and Carrots. However, the concentration of Alpha Lipoic Acid in these foods is very low. A Dietary Supplement is the best way to get a standardized dose of ALA that meets your daily requirements.
