Larger doses tend to cause hypoglycemia, so this size is very much appreciated. The cost is also good, so I have no complaints.
Everyday Stabilized RALA Antioxidant Support Dietary Supplement A superior, biologically active form of lipoic acid. What is R-Alpha Lipoic Acid? R-Alpha lipoic acid (RALA) is the naturally occurring form of lipoic acid, a nutrient present in every cell of the body, essential to chemical reactions that allow the body to produce energy. The body produces very little alpha lipoic acid and it is difficult to obtain sufficient quantities through diet alone. Lipoic acid has been called “a universal antioxidant” because it’s effective as an antioxidant in water-based environments, such as blood, yet its reduced metabolite, dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA), is also effective in protecting fatty tissues and membranes. The "R" form is considered the biologically active form, identical to that produced by the body. Unlike other forms of lipoic acid, RALA is bioavailable and more stable in the body. What are the key benefits of Vitacost® R-Alpha Lipoic Acid Stabilized RALA? May promote cardiovascular health by protecting against free radical damage. Regenerates the antioxidant activity of vitamin C, vitamin E and coenzyme Q10. May increase levels of glutathione, the body’s most important antioxidant.

The best form of this essential ingredient for all ages, the capsule size is just right, the effectiveness is real, blood sugar levels and heavy metal detoxification not to mention its antioxidant role
Alpha lipoic acid is an excellent synergist of B vitamins. It is necessary for non-polyoneuropathy.
I have been using this Vitacost brand for several years, and find it to be most cost effective. The R-Alpha designation indicates a more efficiently absorbable version of ALA, and for me that makes the extra cost worthwhile.
I use this with Agmatine for pain management. I take 4 of these with 1 Agmatine on leg days, works like a charm.
Key Benefits and Mechanisms: 1. Mitochondrial Energy Production 2. Antioxidant and Anti-Aging Support 3. Blood Sugar and Metabolic Health 4. Nerve and Cognitive Protection Good stuff from Vitacost.
I've been happy with this product. The 80 mg dose is convenient, especially if you prefer starting lower or adjusting your intake gradually. The capsules are easy to take, and the quality seems solid. No issues with digestion, and it's been easy to fit into my daily routine. Good value for the price.
