R-ALA Salt

Details:

Core Functions of R-(+)-Lipoic Acid Sodium

1. Potent Antioxidant Activity: As the natural R-enantiomer, it directly participates in mitochondrial energy metabolism, scavenges free radicals, and regenerates other antioxidants (e.g., vitamins C/E, glutathione).

2. Metabolic Regulation: Enhances insulin sensitivity, supporting the management of diabetic neuropathy and metabolic syndrome.

3. Neuroprotection: Crosses the blood-brain barrier to inhibit neuroinflammation and delay cognitive decline (e.g., applications in Alzheimer’s research).

4. Anti-Aging & Skin Health:Inhibits AGEs (advanced glycation end products) and reduces UV-induced skin damage.

5. Bioavailability Superiority: Compared to racemic (D/L) lipoic acid, the R-form achieves 40-50% higher oral absorption and 30% faster peak plasma concentration.

Competitive Advantages of Sinoway’s R-ALA sodium:

1. Cost Efficiency: Localized raw material procurement (e.g., adipic acid, sulfur sources) and continuous flow process optimization enable 20-30% reduction in production costs.

2. Sustainable Production: Utilizes immobilized catalysts and solvent recovery systems to minimize organic waste (compliant with REACH/EPA standards).

Synthesis Breakthroughs: Asymmetric synthesis (e.g., enzymatic resolution) achieves ≥99.5% R-enantiomer purity with <0.1% chiral impurities.

Applications of R+Lipoic Acid Sodium

1. Pharmaceuticals: Injectable formulations for diabetic neuropathy, oral sustained-release tablets.

2. Nutraceuticals: High-absorption antioxidant capsules (combined with CoQ10, NAC).

Cosmeceuticals: Photoaging serums (pH-stable formulas at 5.5–6.5).
