Guest guest Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Hi, Steve I agree about high-priced combos, Steve. I offered the site mainly for information on the two supplements, ALA and ALC. I like Swanson a lot, but a while ago when I priced out a month's supply of those two, I don't remember there being such a huge difference. I will look again, though. I do take my ALA and ALC from two bottles still. Swanson's Qgel is reduced now, and is cheaper than the Epic source at this time, even buying in high quantities. I believe I posted before that Swanson has assured me (for what it is worth) that their Qgel comes directly from Tischon. I am interested in " purity " , " formulation " , " quality " or whatever you want to call it, in our supplements. I don't know enough about it, and wish I knew more. I do have a high regard for Dr. Ames (connected with Juvenon in some capacity). He is a well-established scientist, having done research on ALA with ALC in rats for a long time, and I would guess he does not go into these ventures to skimp on ingredients or purity if his name is associated with it. Never can tell though. Anyway, thanks for your thoughts and glad you found the site.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Sunny Any of the Q-gel products made by Tishcon and marketing by another company have to have the Q-gel by Tishcon on the label. It is usually in very small print on the back the bottle at the bottom. laurie > From: z39z@... > Reply-To: > Date: Thu, 2 Dec 2004 20:28:02 -0500 > To: > Subject: Re: Juvenon with alpha-lipoic acid and acetyl L carnitine > > > Hi, Steve > > I agree about high-priced combos, Steve.
