Doctors Formulas R-Alpha Lipoic Acid 250mg 300ml R-ALPHA LIPOIC ACID is a dietary supplement containing R-alpha lipoic acid. Liposomal formulation technology results in greater absorption and bioavailability of the active ingredients of the formulation. Liposomes belong to the colloidal dispersions of bioactive molecule transport systems which have the ability to transport them, improving their effectiveness . The dimensions of liposomes, depending on their preparation method and the physicochemical characteristics of their structural units, are of the order of nanometers to a few micrometers. Historically, in the early 1960s, there was a trend to study the biophysical properties of colloidal systems that had a lipid and phospholipid composition, with the aim of understanding the biophysical functions of cells. Biophysicist AD Bangham studied lipid colloidal dispersions, to simulate cell membranes and study their functionality. Liposomes, since they are prepared from structural materials like those of our cells, have advantages related to their friendliness towards human tissues. They have the ability to transport lipophilic bioactive molecules that do not dissolve easily in aqueous media and therefore have absorption and bioavailability problems, e.g., vitamins, curcumin, etc., but also water-soluble or amphiphilic molecules, improving their dissolution rate and absorption through the gastrointestinal lumen. Liposomes can and do transport bioactive substances and improve their penetration through the barriers of the gastrointestinal tract and are effective vehicles for transporting bioactive molecules. Liposomal technology and especially the innovative technology of supramolecular phospholipid complexes with a lipid bilayer structure can improve the therapeutic efficacy of dietary supplements and constitute an innovation in this field, providing high added value to the final dosage form . Usage: Take 10 ml (about two teaspoons) once daily, or as recommended by your doctor. You can mix it with water or juice if desired.
