The stabilized, highly bioavailable form of R-Alpha-Lipoic Acid, a powerful antioxidant your body naturally produces to protect cells, support energy, and maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
Na-R-Alpha-Lipoic Acid (Na-RALA) is the sodium-stabilized form of R-alpha-lipoic acid, the biologically active isomer your body actually makes and uses. By binding R-ALA to sodium, the compound is protected from degradation and reaches plasma concentrations up to three times higher than standard alpha-lipoic acid supplements, meaning more of the active compound gets to where it is needed.
Unlike most antioxidants, alpha-lipoic acid is soluble in both fat and water, allowing it to act throughout virtually every cell and tissue in the body. It neutralizes free radicals directly and also regenerates other key antioxidants, including Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and glutathione, extending their protective effect.
What Na-RALA supports:
- Healthy blood sugar levels and insulin sensitivity
- Neutralization of free radicals and reduction of oxidative stress
- Regeneration of Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and glutathione
- Nerve health and function
- Mitochondrial energy metabolism

What is Na-R-Alpha-Lipoic Acid?
Na-R-Alpha-Lipoic Acid (Na-RALA) is the sodium-stabilized form of R-alpha-lipoic acid, a naturally occurring compound found in every cell of the human body. It is produced inside the mitochondria, where it acts as a cofactor helping enzymes convert nutrients into cellular energy. R-alpha-lipoic acid is also the biologically active isomer of alpha-lipoic acid, the exact form your body naturally synthesizes and uses.
The body only produces R-alpha-lipoic acid in small amounts, and standard ALA supplements contain a synthetic mixture that is only half as effective. That is why many choose Na-RALA specifically, to get the active form in a more absorbable, stable format.
Dietary sources include animal products such as red meat and organ meats like liver, heart, and kidney, as well as plant-based foods like spinach, broccoli, and tomatoes. However, food sources alone provide relatively modest amounts, making supplementation a practical choice for those seeking more targeted support.
How does Na-R-Alpha-Lipoic Acid work?
Na-RALA works by delivering the biologically active R-form of alpha-lipoic acid in a stabilized, highly absorbable format. By binding R-ALA to sodium, the compound is protected from degradation, allowing it to reach plasma concentrations up to three times higher than standard alpha-lipoic acid supplements.
Once absorbed, Na-RALA functions as a potent antioxidant and mitochondrial cofactor. It neutralizes free radicals directly and regenerates other antioxidants such as Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and glutathione, extending their protective effect.
Beyond its antioxidant action, Na-RALA supports insulin signaling and glucose uptake, assists mitochondrial enzymes in converting nutrients into cellular energy, and helps reduce oxidative stress in nerve tissue, contributing to healthy blood sugar regulation, energy metabolism, and nerve function at the cellular level.
