R-Lipoic Acid 300mg

The capsules are easy to take, and the stabilized R-lipoic acid formula gives me confidence that I’m getting a high-quality product. I’ve noticed good results and no stomach issues. The bottle is well-packaged, and the value is excellent for the dosage. Would definitely purchase again.

This is a review of HMS Nutrition’s “R-Lipoic Acid.” It comes in 300 mg pills, which is the basic dose. There are many medical trials that use 600 mg, so doubling the dose is easy. Alpha lipoic acid naturally is formed of two isomers, called R- and S-. All health benefits are attributed to the R- isomer. However, the S- isomer interferes with the R- isomer’s benefits. The beauty of this produce is that HMS has isolated the R- isomer, eliminating the S- isomer from its product so as to provide all of the R- isomer’s benefits. This form is often referred to as RALA (R α-lipoic acid) or R-LA. But this product has been taken a step further. It has been stabilized with a bit of sodium, which stabilizes the R-LA and allows for better absorption by the digestive system. This form is often referred to as Na-RALA. I have been taking alpha lipoic acid for years. I switched to this product for all of the benefits of a truly stable lipoic acid that has no S- isomer. Otherwise, my health benefit for the cost of any other formulation with R- and S- isomers is very poor. HMS Nutrition is a recognized producer of quality supplements, another reason I switched. It also has been one of the most affordable Na-RALA supplements found on Amazon. For all these reasons, I gave their product a 5-star rating.

high quality and effective, particularly for neuropathy pain

We use this product to help with neuropathy

I tried another brand but didn't get as much relief from it so I am back taking HMS with more satisfaction. I started using this from a bottle given to me by an oncologist. Works great

Received correct order on time

It seems to be having a great effect on my nervous sensations. I'm regaining feeling in areas of my skin that haven't felt anything in a long time. Update: I experienced a slight burning sensation in my esophagus a few minutes after taking it, which forced me to stop using this product. It's either too strong for me or possibly poorly formulated. Or perhaps it should be taken with food to help neutralize that reaction. Do you experience burning in your esophagus? This irritation is tolerable, but over time it can lead to more serious and unwanted problems.

The capsules are easy to swallow and I appreciate that they're vegan and non-GMO. The 300mg per serving dosage seems standard for this type of supplement. The bottle is well-designed and the product arrived well-packaged. I like that it's NSF certified, which gives me confidence in the quality control. The 2-month supply (60 capsules) is convenient and the price point seems reasonable compared to other R-ALA supplements I've seen. As for effects, it's hard to say definitively with supplements like this, but I've been taking it as part of my daily routine for antioxidant support. No negative side effects so far. Overall, seems like a quality product from a reputable brand. Would recommend if you're looking for an R-ALA supplement.

The price becomes high.. Sad. Looking for another cheaper product that contains R-ALA.. Not the synthetic one

Having a chronic disease, I tried this R-Lipoic Acid to see if it would give me an energy lift. Although it is very difficult to know if it really was the reason, my energy levels have improved. Therefore, giving it 5 stars especially with the current product discount.

The RCLA powder tasted awful. It would be nice if there was a powder that tasted good. Like some of the Pre-workout powder but for peripheral neuropathy instead. Good medicinal qualities which mix well with water with different great flavors.

My husband takes it to alleviate very painful neuropathy. Of course, nothing will cure it, but this makes it more bearable.

Doesnt work for me. Went back to my old brand and pain is now under control.
