R-alpha-Lipoic Acid (R-aLA) is a versatile antioxidant that protects cells from free radicals generated during energy production. It is the form of aLA found in nature. Most aLA supplements also contain 50% S-aLA - a form of aLA with no known benefits that may partially counteract the benefits of R-aLA.

Chrysin is a compound in the flavone family that is extracted mainly from passion flower plants.
