Guest guest Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Thanks for all the information. I was gonna to buy one and I wanted to know the difference (one costs a little more than the other, but if it was better, you know... I just didn't know there wasn't any experience with R-ALA Thanks again, Belén. lindajaytee <lindajaytee@...> escribió: > > Hi, > > I really don't know the difference between ALA and R-ALA.

R-ALA is purified to only contain one isomer. For profit companies claim that it is 'better' (as an antioxidant, most don't even know it acts as a chelator). The claims do not follow from the information that is available to date. It is a way for companies to charge more money and increase their profits. They bombard people with propoganda (in an effort to increase sales, very similiar to how pharmaceutical companies do except that pharmaceuticals have to meet more standards than neutriceuticals). All of the experience with chelation has been with the standard ALA. To use R-ALA to chelate is to venture out into unknown territory. And, why experiment when regular ALA has worked so well for so many people (when used appropriately), and is so much less expensive.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 I use the R-lipoic acid. I got it from imaging inc. Mine is in the form of potassium-r-lipoate. Binding it to potassium prevents it from polymerizing, which occurs easily due to its hygroscopic nature. Check out this website to learn more about the diifference. R-ALA IS THE NATURAL FOM WHILE S-ALA IS THE SYNTHETIC FORM. http://www.worldclassnutrition.com/ala1.html ROSELINE lindajaytee <lindajaytee@...> wrote: > > Hi, > > I really don't know the difference between ALA and R-ALA.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 How much do you use in each dose, I meant 1/2 or 1/8mg per pound?
