Re: Re: ALA=Thioctic Acid? (D, L-amide)

[Guest guest]

Bumping the question ( " ALA " = " Thioctic Acid " = " Thioctic Acid (D, L-amide) " ),

with the hope Dr. Cutler or others versed in Chemistry can answer...

Huge thanks, in advance!

Re: [ ] ALA=Thioctic Acid?

The inactive ingredients are:

cellactose,

sodium crosscarmellose,

colloidal silicon dioxide,

magnesium stearate,

polyethylene glycol 6000,

povidone,

talc,

sugar,

microcrystalline cellulose,

titanium dioxide,

erythrosine,

amaranth,

hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose,

carnauba wax,

white wax.

Not sure what the question was.

D, L-amide means, in English, a mix of " R-enantiomer and S-enantiomer " .

This is the standard formulation of ALA.

The formulation that is only the R-enantiomer is marketed as " R-ALA " and

is a fad.

Andy Cutler STRONGLY recommends ALA, not R-ALA.

So you have the correct medicament to chelate.

Yes! That was my question --if I have the right chelator.

YES!!

: thanks, from the bottom of my heart.
