R

If you want to be sure that you are obtaining ALL of the beneficial aspects of alpha-lipoic acid then R is the only product for you. R contains only pharmaceutically pure R-isomer alpha-lipoic acid which has been shown to produce ALL of the beneficial effects of alpha-lipoic acid without any of the potential negative effects of the non-naturally occurring S-isomer contained in most of the alpha-lipoic acid formulas on the market. If you want the best and most effective alpha-lipoic acid, then R is the only product for you!

R is the name of Syntrax's perfect alpha-lipoic acid supplement. While other companies in the industry use the cheaper RS form of alpha-lipoic acid, Syntrax has pushed the envelope to its extreme by releasing the R form of alpha-lipoic acid. R alpha-lipoic acid is the only totally natural form and demonstrates all of the beneficial properties of alpha-lipoic acid. Unfortunately, the RS form of alpha-lipoic acid is cheaper but it contains the non-natural form that has been shown in research studies to elicit some very serious negative consequences on insulin response/sensitivity.

R-alpha lipoic acid is not only one of the very best and most universal antioxidants but it also is the perfect dietary supplement for improving insulin response/sensitivity and blood sugar control. Research studies have shown that the cheaper RS form of alpha-lipoic acid does not deliver the full beneficial effects of R form.

If you are looking to fully control the destructive effects of glycation as well as obtain the anabolic and ergogenic effects of improved insulin response/sensitivity, then demand the R form of alpha-lipoic acid. With R, you will notice almost immediately an improved sense of well-being. Furthermore, if you're an athlete of any type, you will notice a leaner, more fit body, fuller muscles and greater strength and performance. Demand the best; demand R.

1. What is R? R contains the R chiral isomer of alpha-lipoic acid.

2. Why is R special? Most alpha-lipoic acid supplements on the market contain a combination of both the R and S isomers of alpha-lipoic acid. Unfortunately, the only isomer that is naturally occurring is the R isomer. As with many chiral isomers that are not naturally occurring, the S isomer has potentially unhealthy effects. Although shown to be a decent antioxidant, it has been shown in studies to have a negative effect on insulin sensitivity and carbohydrate metabolism. Thus, by combining both the R and S isomers, the positive effects on insulin sensitivity and carbohydrate metabolism attributed to R-alpha-lipoic acid are at least partially negated.

3. What effects can be expected from R? The scientific literature shows that R-alpha-lipoic acid improves insulin sensitivity and effectively scavenges many types of free radicals. Anecdotally, those taking R notice a shift in body composition towards an increase in lean mass and a decrease in fat mass. Other reported results are a a noticeable improvement in mental outlook as well as increased feelings of well-being.

4. What about costs? Unfortunately, the R isomer of alpha-lipoic acid is significantly more expensive than the common RS mixed isomer version. In fact, it is upwards of 6 times more expensive. Obviously, if a person could take twice as much RS mixed isomer version to obtain the same amount of the R isomer alpha lipoic acid, then the pure R isomer would not be cost effective or make sense to consume. However, it must be noted that the S isomer has negative effects on insulin sensitivity and carbohydrate metabolism. Thus, no amount of RS mixed isomer can deliver the results of the R isomer. In most situations, when a person tries R, they experience noticeable, beneficial effects that they never experienced with any other alpha-lipoic acid supplement. Once this happens, cost becomes much less of a concern.
