A member asked:
I have been prescribed 200mg of r-alpha lipoic acid per day. i was only able to find r-lipoic acid. are they the same?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Both forms of lipoic acid are the same. The "r" in front indicates a more potent form of lipoic acid compared to plain Alpha lipoic acid (without the r in front).
