Ingredients explained
R-lipoic acid (sodium salt)
Acts as a redox-active cofactor that can recycle antioxidants and support mitochondrial enzyme activity involved in energy metabolism.
Caution: May cause stomach discomfort in some; taking with food can improve tolerance.
Biotin
Serves as a coenzyme for carboxylase enzymes that help convert carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into usable energy.
Caution: High biotin intake can interfere with certain lab tests; inform your healthcare provider about use.
Sodium
Provides a small amount of electrolyte that helps maintain fluid balance and nerve signaling.
Caution: Contains a minor amount of sodium, which is generally low but may be relevant for very sodium-restricted diets.
How they work together
R-lipoic acid supports cellular energy pathways and antioxidant recycling, while biotin participates in macronutrient metabolism enzymes. The small amount of sodium is part of the stabilized R-lipoic acid salt and contributes to electrolyte balance.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Consult a physician if pregnant, nursing, have a medical condition, or are taking any medication.
Who should be cautious: People with blood sugar concerns or on diabetes medications may experience changes in glucose levels with alpha lipoic acid; monitor and discuss with a healthcare provider. Those with biotin-sensitive lab testing should note biotin content, which may affect certain lab results. People with thyroid conditions should discuss use with a healthcare provider. If combining with medications, consult a healthcare provider first.

Discussion: AOR's R-Lipoic Acid provides the natural 'R' form of this vital antioxidant produced in the body for the maintenance of good health and helps the body metabolize carbohydrates, unlike supplements which also contain equal amounts of the synthetic, inactive 'S' form. The natural 'R' form is more potent than the S-form, and that in some cases the S-form interferes with R-lipoic acids actions in the body.
