ALLMAX R+ALA delivers 212.5 mg of stabilized Sodium R-Alpha Lipoic Acid (Na-R-ALA) per capsule, yielding 150 mg of active R(+)-ALA per serving, the biologically active form the body uses for antioxidant defense, support of glucose metabolism, and nutrient delivery to working muscles. Manufactured in a pharmaceutical-grade, cGMP-registered, FDA-inspected facility and lab-tested for every lot, R+ALA is vegan, free of artificial fillers, and formulated for athletes and active adults who demand efficacy and purity.
Key Features at a Glance:
Standard ALA supplements contain a 50/50 mix of the R- and S-isomers. The S-isomer is not naturally occurring in the body and delivers less benefit. ALLMAX R+ALA provides only the active R-form bound to sodium as Na-R-ALA, creating a stabilized molecule that resists degradation, offers superior absorption, and delivers a higher active payload per serving. The reformulated ALLMAX formula increased the input from 150 mg to 212.5 mg, raising the active R(+)-ALA yield from 125 mg to 150 mg per capsule and delivering enhanced potency at the same retail price.
R-ALA functions as a universal antioxidant active in both water-soluble and fat-soluble environments within the body. This dual-environment activity makes it uniquely capable of helping neutralize the free radicals generated during intense or muscle-damaging training. R-ALA may also support glutathione levels, contributing to immune resilience and overall cellular protection against physical and environmental stressors.
R-ALA acts as a co-factor for two mitochondrial enzymes involved in glucose metabolism, helping the body convert blood glucose into usable cellular energy more efficiently. By supporting healthy insulin activity, R+ALA may help promote the uptake of glycogen and nutrients into muscle cells, making it a practical addition around training for those focused on nutrient utilization and metabolic performance.
R-alpha lipoic acid is the form naturally synthesized in the body and is the more bioavailable isomer compared to racemic (standard) alpha lipoic acid. Unstabilized R-ALA can polymerize (clump) in the presence of heat or moisture, reducing its potency before it reaches your cells. By binding R-ALA to sodium (Na-R-ALA), ALLMAX creates a stable molecule that survives digestion and may offer superior cellular uptake. ALA degrades quickly when exposed to air and light in mixed or pre-blended formulas; taking R+ALA as a standalone capsule preserves full potency.
R+ALA stacks well with ALLMAX EAAs, ALLMAX Omega-3 Fatty Acids Supplement, and ALLMAX Berberine HCL for comprehensive metabolic health, antioxidant defense, and recovery support.
