Alpha Lipoic Acid- Same thing as r-ala?

[gretak911]

I'm researching whats new in the liver protectant arena and I see references to r-ala. Is this the same thing as r-ala? If not which is better at protecting your liver?
What are some other good liver protectants like milk thistle etc..
Thanks.

6 grams SP? WTF!! you mean the raw powder right? cuz i use the standardized version at 600mg a day and that is high end. one r-ALA is supposed to be equal to 3 regular ALA from what i recall.

i ment 10.8g's of saw a day, im using capsules

11 fucking grams now! holy shit your nuts! how long does a bottle last you? a week or less? lol. do you want to systematically destroy all DHT your body ever makes? lol.

and since when is SP good for the liver? its a prostate specific DHT blocker. and you should be taking a standardized potency version with a percentage stated of active ingredient. also, 650mg is sufficient of the extract (a little more cash, but worth it)....not 11 grams for christ sakes. holy shit i can't believe what i am reading.

AF NEVER SOLD ALA (racemic---r/s).

R+ alpha lipoic is the natural isomer of Lipoic Acid.
R/S (racemate) alpha lipoic is half S- ALA, which is an unnatural by-product of low end manufacture. S-ALA works counter to R+, hence why ALA never delivered what the studies promised.. and why R+ does
