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.
