Your body can only absorb about 250mg of regular oral vitamin C at a time—anything above that amount is poorly absorbed and often causes digestive upset. Liposomal delivery wraps the vitamin C in tiny fat bubbles (phospholipids) that protect it through your digestive system and allow it to be absorbed directly into your cells. This means you get the benefits of high-dose vitamin C without needing an IV and without stomach discomfort. Many doctors use C-RLA™ to help patients maintain the benefits of in-office vitamin C drips at home.

Regular alpha-lipoic acid supplements contain equal parts of two forms: R and S. Only the R form is what your body naturally makes and uses.
The R form may be up to 10 times more effective than the S form because your cells have specific transporters designed to recognize and use it.
Think of it like having the right key for a lock—R-lipoic acid is the natural key your cells are designed to accept, while the S form doesn't fit as well.
That's why C-RLA™ uses pure R-lipoic acid only.

Mitochondria are the tiny power plants inside your cells that produce energy. R-lipoic acid is called the "mitochondrial antioxidant" because it plays two crucial roles: it helps the enzymes that produce energy work properly, and it protects mitochondria from damage caused by the natural byproducts of energy production. When your mitochondria work better, you have more cellular energy for everything your body needs to do, from brain function to physical activity to immune response.

Yes, C-RLA™ actually enhances other antioxidants. R-lipoic acid has a unique ability to regenerate vitamin E, glutathione, and even vitamin C after they've been used up fighting free radicals. This means it can make your other antioxidant supplements work better and longer. Take C-RLA™ away from food for best absorption, and you can continue taking your other supplements with meals as usual. Always consult your healthcare provider about your specific supplement regimen, especially if you're taking medications.
