Rooted in the science of longevity, this framework prioritizes metabolic health, hormonal balance, and the prevention of chronic diseases
Abstract The imbalance between the oxidant and antioxidant systems leads to a biological condition defined as oxidative stress that contributes to the formation of reactive oxygen species, which are unstable molecules resulting from various processes in the body that can be highly harmful and cause a series of diseases
In addition, several risk factors such as high age, head injuries, genetics, and other factors may play a role in the incidence of the disease
But only the R-isomer (R-ALA) is naturally produced in the body and actively participates in mitochondrial energy metabolism.12 Some studies suggest that R-ALA may be more bioavailable than standard racemic ALA though the clinical significance of this difference is still under investigation.17 In addition, anecdotal reports and small studies indicate that R-ALA may be easier on digestion, with fewer gastrointestinal side effects than standard racemic ALA, especially at higher doses.18 However, R-ALA is chemically unstable on its own
