r-ALA has sold out. Enter Glucorell R

The following is an extract from January's MD:
...the supplement Alpha Lipoic Acid decreased the rate at which muscle and liver tissue made new glycogen and decreased the efficiency of cellular energy systems. While this supplement may help sedentary obese individuals, it is not recommended for bodybuilders or power athletes who depend on muscle glycogen for intense muscular exercise. (J. Nutr., 132: 3001-3006, 2002)
rebuttal anyone? ulter? macro?

very disappointing. SHows how far MD has slid. The study in question used dosages that are not attainable with human consumption. 100 times as much or more.
btw1- this is not a "news flash", as some have indicated, it is well known that at ultra high concentrations that anti-oxidents act as pro-oxidents.
what is very sad is that the author of the statement above did not even understand the abstract, which from their interpretation makes this plainly clear.
btw2- not that the study is valid either.... the methodology and findings are still IMHO flawed. Which would, of course, makes the statements above.. well even less.. "credible".
"...the supplement Alpha Lipoic Acid"
Many of the studies using S-ALA or Racemic ALA are not applicable to R-ALA. R-ALA INCREASES the muscle's uptake of Glycogen and in doing so makes you stronger. We don't sell the "supplement Alpha Lipoic Acid". Most researchers have noted that there is a distinct difference in the two forms.
"We're finding - and others are, too - that the R(+)-form - the natural form - is much more powerful than the racemic mixture ... Hopefully ... companies are going to be producing on more of a clinical scale the R(+)-form of lipoic acid, because we're finding very significant effects using this, as opposed to the racemic mixture."
Dr. Tory Hagen, in Mitochondrial Decay in Aging.
"Lipoic acid sold in a health food store is a synthetic mixture, a racemic mixture. And R[+]- is the natural form and S[-]- is an unnatural one ... And in our hands R[+]- works and S[-]- doesn't."
Dr. Bruce Ames, in Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence.

Currently the UK is still selling the r-ALA. Yes, when it runs out they will be getting Glucorell R.
