Guest guest Posted January 19, 2003 Report Share Posted January 19, 2003 Hello, has anyone heard of R-lipoic Acid? Is anyone using it to chelate? I read about it on VRP's newsletter where it says that this is the natural form of ALA and is ten times more potent than the commonly available synthetic form of alpha lipoic acid. After I read this I ordered it and have been using it to chelate. 25mg ALA/ 25mgDMSA every three hours for my 35 lb son. Now looking back he has not made marked gains in the past three or four rounds and I had decided to up the DMSA to 50mg, thinking he has plateaued at the previous level. I was just ordering more DMSA and ALA from VRP when the connection popped into my mind. Are the two lipoic acids different? Andy, do you know? Thanks in advance, Ashi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the chelation papers and experience are with RS lipoic acid. Switching to R lipoic acid simply turns your kid into a new science experiment. You don't want to experiment, you want to get him better the same way other people are getting their kids better. >I > read about it on VRP's newsletter where it says that this is the natural form > of ALA and is ten times more potent than the commonly available synthetic > form of alpha lipoic acid. I guess I'll stop buying stuff from VRP if they insist on fraudulent hype like that. After all, synthetic ALA is 50% R-ALA. So this stuff can't be more than twice as effective. > After I read this I ordered it and have been > using it to chelate. 25mg ALA/ 25mgDMSA every three hours for my 35 lb son. > Now looking back he has not made marked gains in the past three or four > rounds and I had decided to up the DMSA to 50mg, thinking he has plateaued at > the previous level.

Sounds like you ought to go back to the regular RS stuff (synthetic) and see if progress starts again. Please do let us know. > Andy, > do you know?
