Is there any difference between the ALA products?

First of all AF's ala.

Second of all, Direct Connect Nutrition's ala.
Theirs only cost a fraction of the price.

If they are indeed the same, it would appear that AF store is going to have to lower the price to deal with the competition.

They are not the same. AF's product is r-ALA, the other product is straight ALA. Further, AF's product is much cheaper with the discount code (afdiscount).

I see, and do you have to be platinum to get the AF store discount?

anyone have any results with adding biotin to regular racemic ala?

 

[Ulter]

The racemic ALA should be used with biotin if you're going to use it. Although I don't know why you would use it.

maybe. but it still does the job. why get something thats more expensive when regular ALA does a good job? its all in the diet anyway

ALA does not do as good a job, far from it. R+ lipoic lowers serum insulin, Racemic raises it. with respect to glucose clearance (the second most important effect) it takes about 3-4 times as much racemic as R+ to get a similar effect

though agree that diet is important, the use of R+ just makes the restrictions of a good diet much less onerous.
