R-Lipoic Acid (the R (+) enantiomer) is responsible for the specific
beneficial effects of alpha lipoic acid. Of primary significance,
R-lipoic acid has shown to be ten times more effective than
racemic alpha lipoic acid for reducing inflammation.
R-Alpha Lipoic Acid is a natural anti-oxidant, which has been used in European
skin products for years. Known as "the universal antioxidant" because it helps
to regenerate other essential antioxidants like Vitamins C and E. It is quickly
absorbed by all parts of the skin. It is one of the best anti-oxidants
available on the market to help keep the skin fighting free radicals!
It also has the benefit of recycling Vitamin-E from its oxidized
form back to its reduced form which allows it to once again,
become a beneficial anti-oxidant! It is known to diminish
fine lines and wrinkles and to reduce pore
size and puffy eyes.
