- What is the difference between R-lipoic acid and regular alpha-lipoic acid?
- Regular alpha-lipoic acid is a 50/50 mix of two mirror-image forms. R-lipoic acid is the form the body naturally uses, so some people prefer it over the mixed version.

- How does it compare with Source Naturals' alpha-lipoic acid capsules?

- No. This version is sold as tablets.
- Should I take it with food?
- Follow the directions on the label and ask a doctor or pharmacist about timing, especially if you take medication for blood sugar.
