Customer Reviews of Life Extension Super R-lipoic Acid, Vegetarian Capsules, 300 mg, 60-Count
Customer Review: False Advertising?
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought these overpriced antioxidants thinking they would be 300 mg as stated on the front of the bottle and Amazon page. When you look at the back, all of a sudden it says...Stabilized Na-RALA sodium R-lipoate (providing 210mg of R-Lipoic Acid).
First of all why was this not stated on the front of the bottle or page by Amazon. Now I can appreciate why Vitamin World has giant pictures of the back of every bottle they sell on their website. I will finish these 4 bottles and never again use this company. Maybe they count the dissolving capsule as 90 mgs? I feel ripped off.
Description of Life Extension Super R-lipoic Acid, Vegetarian Capsules, 300 mg, 60-Count
A newly discovered form of R-lipoic acid is being hailed as the ?next-generation? antioxidant powerhouse. This breakthrough occurred by converting the biologically active ?R? form of lipoic acid to sodium-R-lipoic acid, which is absorbed up to 21 times better in the body than pure R-lipoic acid.1 Not only does the new lipoic acid formulation reach higher peak blood levels2, it also achieves them up to 12 times faster than R-lipoic acid, ensuring rapid uptake from the plasma into the tissues.3 A recent study showed that oral ingestion of Super R-lipoic acid reached peak plasma concentrations within just 10-20 minutes of supplementation.2 What's more, unlike other forms of lipoic acid, Super R-lipoic acid is more stable in the body. The increased stability of this enhanced formulation is the reason for its greater absorption and bioavailability compared with R-lipoic acid. The superior antioxidant effects of R-lipoic acid are already well known for supporting healthy mitochondrial function. Now, Super R-lipoic acid provides more potent benefits for preserving youthful cellular energy levels. References 1. Personal communication with Carlson D, 2008. 2.
