It is also the ALA that would have been used in most literature studies that had anything to do with chelation. R-ALA is a new purified form (of the 'R' stereoisomer). It has not been used for chelation so there are no results available from real people (or even for chelation of rats for that matter).

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 i read up on it and the R-ALA is supposed to be a better chelator for heavy metals (in lab tests) but without much real life testing it might be difficult to get determine the dosage or anythng else. The helpful advice i got was that since ALA works well (and we know alot about it) why mess with a good thing? -jja Cheryl <mossyforrest@...> wrote: Can anyone tell me what the difference is in R-ALA or ALA in terms of chelation?

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 I have nothing printable to say about the charlatans who try to prey on people by making up stories about R ALA being better for everything.... regular ALA is after all half R ALA. I don't consider it responsible to use R ALA for chelation since we really don't know what the R and S (the other 50%) forms do or how the interact in enough detail and all relevant publications and experience were with regular ALA, which is a 50/50 mixture of R and S ALA. > Can anyone tell me what the difference is in R-ALA or ALA > in terms of chelation? > > Thanks, > Cheryl The difference is some unethical people want you to risk your child's health turning him into a medical experiment so they can make a few bucks selling you R ALA when regular ALA works fine for chelation.
