Liposomal R-Alpha Lipoic Acid from Vitamunda contains the sulphur-containing fatty acid alpha-lipoic acid and vitamin C in liposomal form. The alpha-lipoic acid used is the R-alpha-lipoic acid type, which is identical to the form naturally present in the body. This food supplement also has exceptionally high bioavailability thanks to the use of natural liposomes (small fat droplets), which protect the active ingredients from breakdown as they pass through your digestive tract. This means that the ingredients in this alpha-lipoic acid supplement are absorbed into your blood at a very high rate.
About the ingredients in Liposomal R-Alpha Lipoic Acid
Liposomal R-Alpha Lipoic Acid consists of alpha-lipoic acid, vitamin C and a liposomal blend in a fully plant-based capsule. Alpha-lipoic acid is a substance naturally present in the body. It is found in all our cells and is produced (in limited quantities) in the mitochondria, which supply the cell with energy. This Liposomal R-Alpha Lipoic Acid uses the R-alpha-lipoic acid type. This is exactly the same substance as the one found in our bodies. As this form of alpha-lipoic acid is naturally present in the body, it is superior to synthetic S-alpha-lipoic acid or the common mixed form (R/S). The second ingredient is vitamin C. Vitamin C is an essential nutrient. This means that our bodies cannot produce it themselves, so we need to consume enough of it every day. It is a very important vitamin, as it underpins more than 300 vital biological processes in the body.
The liposomal blend consists of fat-like substances (lipids) derived from sunflowers. These form small fat droplets that surround the active ingredients, alpha-lipoic acid and vitamin C. Each fat droplet, also known as a liposome, protects its contents from premature breakdown as it passes through our digestive tract. This allows the substances to reach the small intestine more easily, where the body absorbs them into the blood. Using purified water during liposome production mimics the way the body itself produces liposomes. As a result, the body recognises our liposomal products as its own material, giving an average absorption rate of more than 95%. Read more about how liposomal supplements work.
The benefits of Liposomal R-Alpha Lipoic Acid
This Liposomal R-Alpha Lipoic Acid contains only pure, natural ingredients, without synthetic or unnecessary additives. The ingredients are enclosed in a plant-based capsule. These capsules are therefore also suitable for a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle. The alpha-lipoic acid used is also entirely of the R type. This is exactly the same as the type naturally present in the body. Most alpha-lipoic acid supplements consist of 50% R-alpha-lipoic acid and 50% S-alpha-lipoic acid. Yet only R-alpha-lipoic acid is recognised by our bodies and can be used within them. S-alpha-lipoic acid, on the other hand, probably has no function. There are also scientific publications indicating that this form of alpha-lipoic acid is more likely to place a burden on the human body. In addition, the liposomal blend ensures an exceptionally high level of absorption in the body. This alpha-lipoic acid supplement therefore cannot be compared with other supplements containing alpha-lipoic acid.
