Lipoic Acid: The Best of the Antioxidants
Learn Why Lipoic Acid Is Better than Other Antioxidants — and What to Look for in a Lipoic Acid Supplement
“Lipoic acid is a superantioxidant that breaks many of the rules regarding antioxidant behavior. In fact, if I were to invent an ideal antioxidant, it would closely resemble lipoic acid, which does everything an antioxidant should do and more.”
Lester Packer, professor of pharmacy and pharmacology at the University of Southern California, leading antioxidants researcher, and author of The Antioxidant Miracle
When navigating your way through the maze of antioxidants, you’re faced with dozens of choices, from coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) to acetyl-L-carnitine (acetyl carnitine) to curcumin (from turmeric). All of these antioxidants have value, but none delivers the spectrum of benefits that Lipoic Acid, also known as Alpha-Lipoic Acid, does.
GeroNova Research, Inc., “the Lipoic Acid company,” offers a range of Lipoic Acid products to meet your individual needs.
Why lipoic acid beats all other antioxidants
Alpha lipoic acid benefits
- Lipoic Acid is the only antioxidant that is soluble (that dissolves) in both fat and water, so it protects all parts of your cells — the fatty cell membrane and the aqueous cell interior — from harmful free radicals.*
- Lipoic Acid not only provides your cells superior antioxidant protection, it makes other antioxidants, such as vitamin C, vitamin E and CoQ10, work better!
- Lipoic Acid is essential for the production of cellular energy in the form of ATP, so it actually delivers a boost of energy.*
- Lipoic Acid supports a healthy response to inflammation, meaning it reduces aches and pains associated with inflammation and aging.*
- Lipoic Acid (as R-Lipoic Acid) has a short blood plasma and cellular half life, so it cannot accumulate to unhealthy levels.
GeroNova: The best lipoic acid supplements available
Just remember — not all Lipoic Acid products are alike! GeroNova has dedicated years of research to producing the most stable, efficacious and absorbable Lipoic Acid products available.
All of GeroNova’s lipoic acid supplements:
- Contain only natural Lipoic Acid, as either R-Lipoic Acid (RLA) or a combination of R-Lipoic Acid and its reduced form, R-Dihydrolipoic Acid (DHLA). If you’re currently taking Alpha Lipoic Acid, it’s probably part un-natural!
- Are formulated using a unique stabilization process that ensures maximum stability.
- Are designed for superior absorption. Pharmacokinetic data has shown that our Bio-Enhanced® R-Lipoic Acid has 40x the absorption rate of unstabilized RLA.

What is lipoic acid?
Lipoic Acid is a vitamin-like substance naturally produced by the human body. In addition to neutralizing dangerous free radicals, Lipoic Acid is also essential for the production of cellular energy.*
Why R-Lipoic Acid is superior to (R/S) alpha-lipoic acid
Not all forms of Lipoic Acid are alike. In fact, you might be surprised to find out that Alpha-Lipoic Acid, the kind found in the average nutritional supplement, is 50% natural (R-Lipoic) and 50% unnatural (S-Lipoic) Lipoic Acid. Research indicates that not only does the human body have difficulty absorbing the unnatural version, it may actually inhibit the most essential properties of natural Lipoic Acid!
R-Lipoic Acid, on the other hand, is the natural form of Lipoic Acid — the exact type the body makes and requires. R Lipoic is significantly more potent than Alpha Lipoic because the body “recognizes” it and “knows” how to use it.
Absorb 40x more with GeroNova’s R-Lipoic Acid!
While R Lipoic Acid is the obvious choice over Alpha Lipoic Acid, in its “free-acid” form, it has two major drawbacks: stability and bioavailability. That’s why it’s so important to choose your R-Lipoic Acid wisely. Unfortunately, without special processing, R-Lipoic Acid is highly unstable and difficult to absorb. In fact, only a very small percentage of unstabilized R-Lipoic Acid is actually absorbed.
Through years of research, GeroNova has solved that problem, introducing the world’s first stabilized RLA.
Scientific research has shown that GeroNova’s Bio-Enhanced® R-Lipoic Acid is the most bioavailable (i.e. best absorbed) oral form of Lipoic Acid on the market. A preliminary human trial found that people who took Bio-Enhanced® R-Lipoic Acid (as NaRALA, also known as N-RLA) achieved blood concentrations of Lipoic Acid a full 40 times higher than those who took unstabilized RLA.
