R-Lipoic Acid plus N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (water-soluble R-Lipoic Acid Salt)

Protect your cells from free radicals and toxins

Your cells are under constant attack by free radicals, as well as intra-cellular and extra-cellular toxins. The good news is that your body is equipped with an extraordinary protective system of over 200 enzymes that keep these harmful forces in check. The bad news is that over time, this protective system breaks down, which results in cellular damage and accelerated aging.

R-PLUS® NAC vegcaps from GeroNova contain two superior antioxidants — R-Lipoic Acid (RLA) and N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine — that kick the body’s protective system back into action, supporting optimal cellular health.*

The problem with most antioxidants

It’s widely known that antioxidants neutralize free radicals. What doesn’t get talked about is that taking too many antioxidants can be as harmful as having too many free radicals.

Why? Because some level of free radicals is necessary for normal cellular activities. Therefore, taking high levels of antioxidants — or taking the wrong kind of antioxidants — can actually shut down normal cellular metabolism.

R-Lipoic Acid (RLA) and N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (variously referred to as acetylcysteine, N-Acetyl Cysteine and NAC) are different. Unlike other antioxidants, they do not negatively affect cellular metabolism. Because they have a short blood plasma and cellular half life, they cannot accumulate to unhealthy levels. Instead, they enter the cell, activate the body’s protective system, and are then quickly broken down and released.

Glutathione: The body's preferred antioxidant

RLA and NAC have the unique ability to boost your body’s production of the antioxidant glutathione.* Glutathione is found in every cell of the human body. That’s exactly where you want your antioxidants to be — inside the cells — because that’s where free radicals are generated. Subsequently, glutathione is the body’s preferred antioxidant. It’s also its most valuable detoxifying agent.

Why not just take glutathione orally?

Unfortunately, glutathione is not thought to be absorbed well when taken orally. Instead, experts recommend taking glutathione precursors such as R-Lipoic Acid and N-Acetyl L Cysteine. Both are featured in R-PLUS®  NAC, which:

Form matters

Buyer beware: Without special processing, Lipoic Acid is difficult for the body to absorb and utilize. R-PLUS® NAC features only:

Bio-Enhanced® R-Lipoic Acid:

• The natural form of Lipoic Acid — the exact type the body makes and requires
• Formulated using a unique stabilization process that ensures maximum stability
• Has 40x the absorption rate of unstabilized R Lipoic Acid

N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine:

• The acetylated form of the amino acid L-cysteine, which is absorbed better than L-Cysteine
• The attachment of the acetyl group gives NAC antioxidant properties that standard L-cysteine does not have

Recommended product pairings

Maximize RLA's benefits with Carnitine

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.
