Terrific
R-Fraction ALA is the most bio-available form of this essential nutrient. Wouldn't be without it. Yes, it's more costly than conventional ALA, but it is much more powerful and effective.
It is best taken with 5mg of Biotin.

Important
In my quest for the "right stuff", as an aging male, I came across data that revealed this form of Alpha Lipoic Acid to be the best fit, best value for me (over 40). The R-Fraction is much more bio-available.

Soy allergy
This product would be perfect if not for the soybean oil. It's just enough to cause my heart palpitations and inflammation; for which I have to take benadryl.

Best ALA
Research shows this is by far the best ALA available on the market. There is just no way to know if it really works! Hoping its long term benefits are true - only time will tell. Swanson's has the best price.

Swanson pricing better than large retailer!
I have found these products increase mobility and longevity during extended days or task. They improve my overall stamina and resistance to extended effects and allows normal refreshment after restful sleep and recovery. Swanson is a great service to me in aplomb shipping and very reasonable pricing compared to large retailers.

didn't expect such a great response
I decided to take lipoic acid in combination with vitamin E (the mixed kind) and acetyl-L-Carnitine all together. I thought it would take weeks or even months before I could see any results but to my surprise within 24 hours I started seeing clear results. First the energy level was up, the same with my wife. My complexion was a lot better, just that made me really happy! I noticed that I don't get the same effect or not as strong when I take two of the three.

Best product of it's type
The cheapest stabilized R-ALA product (on a cost-per-dose basis) I could find online after looking extensively. Quality however is not lower than other products.

ALA
This supplement was recommended by my doctor, Swanson offered what I needed at an affordable price and my order shipped very quickly so I an very satisfied. The only difficulty is that the white capsule looks exactly like another item I order from Swanson so they are easily mistaken for each other.

R-ALA
I switched to R-Fraction ALA 18 months ago after using mixed ALA for five years. R-ALA is the only form found in nature and is ten times as efficient as mixed ALA in my humble opinion. ALA is the universal antioxidant that is both water and oil soluble and regenerates vitamin C and E. ALA generates the master antioxidant, glutathione, that is not readily absorbed when taken orally.

Better form of supplement
I started using ALA at the suggestion of my health care practitioner. I found that the product I purchased at the drug store without the R-fraction caused an acid stomach.
After reading another review on this site, I decided to try this R-fraction product. I don't have any trouble with it and will wait a bit longer to see if it is effective as a supplement.

Lipoic Acid
This form of alpha lipoic acid is the only form to take as the R form is the only form that is proven to provide all the benefits of lipoic acid including maintaining health blood sugar and healthy insulin response; boosting glutathione in cells which is a master antioxidant required and made in every cell in the body and particularly the liver; and providing improved mitchondrial antioxidant protection and energy levels.
Regenerates C and E and is effective in fat and water soluble locations in cells along with being a proven antiaging nutrient with much research.

Best form of ALA
According to the research this is the best of ALA around. Swanson has the best price for this so its a no brainer. There is no way to know if it really works but I am going to believe in the research and hope it has long term benefits.

unbelievable value
I hae been taking all kinds of supplements for quite a few years. This active fraction of Alpha Lipoic acic is by far the best price/value I have ever seen. Those of you who don't do as much research as I do should know that this is as close to the fountain of youth that you will come.
