This supplement helps your body release more RLA (R-Lipoic Acid) into cells. One of its primary components is K-RALA, which is the form of lipoic acid that is soluble, won't dissolve in heat, and has high bioavailability. If you are a chemist or nutritionist than you might know that pure RLA is considered a weak acid and nearly  impossible to supplement it unless you are getting it from food. This product enhances the health benefits of pure RLA by making it more stable and able to provide antioxidant support. This form of lipoic acid is considered a universal antioxidant because it supports the function of other antioxidants, keeps free radicals under control, and works in environments with lots of fat and water. 

Some of the roles that this acid performs naturally in your body are similar to that of vitamins. It is like a co-enzyme because it is used to synthesize acetyl-CoA. Your body needs this metabolite to help turn glucose into energy. Your body does produce this nutrient on its own. However, sometimes your diet might be incomplete and you don't have enough Lipoic Acid. If this is the case, you might want to try and supplement it with this product. It is made in a way that allows your body to utilize all the beneficial acid because of the added Potassium R-Lipoate.
