Is R Lipoic Acid the stabilized form of Alpha R Lipoic Acid?

Yes, R Lipoic Acid contains stable Alpha R-Lipoic Acid, which carries approximately a three year shelf life. This is important as both isomers of ALA can be susceptible to oxidation or degradation if unstable or exposed to elements such as oxygen, heat and light. Our product is designed to remain intact and effective under normal storage and use conditions for approximately 2 years from the date of manufacture.
