When alpha-lipoic acid (which consists of 50 percent “R” lipoic acid and 50 percent “S” lipoic acid) is ingested, it is first converted to its reduced form, R-dihydro-lipoic acid where the main action of lipoic acid is initiated.

R-dihydro-lipoic acid is the reduced (or active) form of R-lipoic acid. R-dihydro-lipoic acid produces the majority of the results attributed to R-lipoic acid and alpha-lipoic acid. When R-dihydro-lipoic acid reacts with a free radical, it is oxidized back to R-lipoic acid, thus making possible the redox cycle of R-lipoic and R-dihydro-lipoic acids at the cellular level. (NADH then reduces R-lipoic back to R-dihydro-lipoic acid.)

By consuming R-dihydro-lipoic acid, you are obtaining the form of R-lipoic acid that is immediately available to cells, without first having to be reduced. R-dihydro-lipoic acid is only available in softgel capsules, because it is a liquid and must be kept sealed from air.
