NA-R-ALA-Sodium (R)-alpha-lipoate

동의어: Sodium R-alpha-lipoate, R-(+)-α-Lipoic acid sodium salt, Sodium (R)-lipoate, (R)-α-Lipoic acid sodium salt, NA-RALA, RLA sodium

NA-R-ALA has become a go-to ingredient for formulators targeting metabolic health, antioxidant support, and healthy aging. Unlike standard alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), which is a 50/50 mix of R- and S-enantiomers, NA-R-ALA delivers only the naturally occurring R-isomer as a stable sodium salt. This enhanced bioavailability and solubility make it a preferred choice for premium supplements and functional foods.

Alpha-lipoic acid is a naturally occurring dithiol compound that serves as a cofactor for mitochondrial enzymes. The R-enantiomer is the biologically active form, but it is unstable and prone to polymerization. By converting it to the sodium salt, NA-R-ALA offers improved stability, water solubility, and a neutral pH in solution, simplifying formulation into capsules, tablets, and beverages.

Our NA-R-ALA is produced via a proprietary chiral synthesis and enzymatic resolution process, yielding a high-purity product with an enantiomeric excess (ee) of ≥99%. It is standardized to ≥98.0% (HPLC) and meets rigorous quality standards for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications.

제품 개요 및 성분

NA-R-ALA is the sodium salt of R-alpha-lipoic acid, a chiral molecule with a specific rotation of +110° to +120° (c=1, ethanol). It is manufactured through a multi-step synthesis starting from adipic acid derivatives, followed by chiral resolution to isolate the R-enantiomer. The final product is a white to off-white crystalline powder, freely soluble in water (up to 50 mg/mL) and ethanol, making it ideal for liquid and solid dosage forms.

The compound acts as a powerful antioxidant, regenerating other antioxidants such as glutathione, vitamin C, and vitamin E. It also enhances insulin sensitivity by activating AMPK and improving glucose uptake in muscle cells. These mechanisms underpin its popularity in products aimed at blood sugar management, weight control, and neuroprotection.
