Water-Soluble R-Lipoic Acid Salts vs. Oil-Based RLA
GeroNova offers two types of R-Lipoic Acid products: water-soluble R-Lipoic Acid salts and oil-based RLA. The benefit of water-soluble R-Lipoic Acid salts is that they are absorbed quickly and are therefore fast-acting. The benefit of oil-based R-Lipoic Acid products is that they are absorbed slowly and therefore stay in the body longer. Many experts believe the best approach is to take equal amounts of water-soluble R-Lipoic Acid salts AND oil-based RLA.

Lipoic Acid is a vitamin-like substance naturally produced by the human body that acts as an antioxidant and helps generate energy
Just remember — not all Lipoic Acid products are alike! GeroNova’s Bio-Enhanced® R-Lipoic Acid has proven to be the most bioavailable (i.e. best absorbed) oral form of Lipoic Acid on the market.
Our Bio-Enhanced® R-Lipoic Acid is available in two products, as water-soluble R-Lipoic Acid salts:
- A fast-acting liquid (as potassium-R Lipoate or K-RALA)
- Easy-to-swallow vegetarian capsules (as sodium-R Lipoate or Na-RALA)
We formulated both products with two truths in mind:
Truth #1: Natural is better than unnatural
Most Lipoic Acid supplements feature Alpha Lipoic Acid, which contains half natural (R-Lipoic) and half unnatural (S-Lipoic) Lipoic Acid. Research shows that not only does the human body have trouble absorbing the unnatural version, it may actually block the most essential properties of natural Lipoic Acid!
R-Lipoic Acid is the natural form of Lipoic Acid — the exact type the body makes and requires. R Lipoic is significantly more potent than Alpha Lipoic because the body “recognizes” it and “knows” how to use it.
Truth #2: If you can’t absorb it, it’s not doing you any good
Unfortunately, some companies are selling R Lipoic Acid products that have not been properly processed. Without special processing, R-Lipoic Acid is highly unstable and difficult to absorb. In fact, only a small percentage of unstabilized R-Lipoic Acid is actually absorbed. Why pay for something you’re not absorbing?
Get the Benefits You Pay For
The good news is that GeroNova has developed a way to stabilize R Lipoic — which means you absorb much more of it. In fact, a preliminary human trial found that people who took our Bio-Enhanced® R-Lipoic Acid achieved blood concentrations of Lipoic Acid a full 40 times higher than those who took unstabilized RLA.**

Liquid or Capsules?
Ultimately, the decision as to whether to take K-RALA-10™ liquid or Bio-Enhanced® R-Lipoic Acid vegcaps is a personal one.
K-RALA-10™ Liquid Benefits:
- Rapidly absorbed
- Reaches high blood plasma levels soon after ingestion
- Many users report feeling an instant increase in energy
Bio-Enhanced® R-Lipoic Acid Vegcaps Benefits:
- Convenient dosing
- Easy to swallow
Both K-RALA-10™ Liquid and Bio-Enhanced® R-Lipoic Acid Vegcaps:
- Contain only natural Lipoic Acid, as R-Lipoic Acid
- Are formulated using a unique stabilization process that ensures maximum stability
- Deliver all the benefits of Lipoic Acid, such as antioxidant protection, energy production and inflammation reduction*
- Are absorbed quicker than oil-based RLA, and are therefore faster-acting
- Have 40x the absorption rate of unstabilized RLA**
Recommended product pairings
The One-Two R-Lipoic Acid Punch
Many experts recommend pairing a water-soluble R-Lipoic Acid salt with an oil-based R-Lipoic Acid product. Why? Because while water-soluble products are absorbed faster than oil-based products, oil-based products stay in the body longer. Combining them delivers a one-two R-Lipoic Acid punch.

Bio-Enhanced® R-Lipoic Acid veg caps + R-PLUS® Softgels
Add a Carnitine Product for Even Better Results
Research indicates that taking R-Lipoic Acid and Carnitine together may have a synergistic effect, because R-Lipoic Acid and Carnitine complement one another in the production of energy.* Choose either our Liquid CARNITINE-PLUS or our Carnitine-PLUS vegcaps.
