Product Description:
99% pure R+, the finest lipoic acid that we have seen at a reasonable price.  Normal mixtures of Lipoic Acid are 50/50 R+ and S- forms. The R form is natural and the S- form a synthetic version. Some researcher believe that the S form actually inhibits the health benefits of the natural form, a so-called evil twin.

ALA is invaluable in the medicine cabinet as an antidote for acute poisonings. High doses whether IV or 2 tablets every 15 minutes for a broad range of toxic exposures: Poisonous mushrooms, solvents, pesticides, radiation etc. Obviously seek prompt medical attention. Dr. Berkson, a Cleveland doctor who saved two amanita patients in the 70's with IV's of alpha lipoic acid brought its use to the forefront in treating chronic hepatitis. If HCV patients are exposed to toxics in the workplace we up the dosage of ALA to 2 tablets twice daily. Alpha Lipoic is an universal anti-oxidant, soluble as both lipid or in water. Lipoic Acid raises intracellular glutathione levels.
