AOR R-Lipoic Acid delivers 95% pure R-alpha lipoic acid, the biologically active isomer of alpha lipoic acid and the form the body naturally produces and uses.

Alpha lipoic acid is commonly sold as a racemic mixture of R and S isomers. The S-lipoic acid isomer is not naturally occurring and may interfere with the activity of the R form. AOR was the first company in the world to offer 95% pure R-lipoic acid, isolating the active isomer for a direct, precisely dosed supplement. One ingredient, clearly dosed, and straightforward to build into any daily routine.

Why Advanced Orthomolecular Research is Healf
Standard alpha lipoic acid supplements are sold as a racemic mixture containing both R and S isomers. The S isomer is not naturally occurring and may interfere with the R form. AOR was the first company in the world to isolate and offer 95% pure R-lipoic acid, the biologically active form your body actually produces.

Advanced Orthomolecular Research was founded in 1991 by Dr. Traj Nibber, built on a single principle borrowed from Nobel laureate Linus Pauling: the right molecule, in the right dose, at the right place, at the right time. Over three decades later, that principle still drives everything. Advanced Orthomolecular Research has a track record of world firsts, including the first 95% pure R-lipoic acid, the first stabilised oxaloacetate, and the first carrageenan-free vegan softgels. A family-run company guided by independent third-party testing, ISO-certified laboratories, and Canadian cGMP standards. Every formula is evidence-based, free from unnecessary binders, fillers, and additives. For Advanced Orthomolecular Research, trust is earned through transparency. That means being clear about what's in every product, why it's there, and what the science actually says.
