Andy, I'm curious as to what structures in the body are rich in

thiols? And what are these structures made of that make them rich in

thiols?

Also wondering what you know about " Asparagusic acid " ? I know that

it's found in asparagus, that it has thiols in it. In fact the

structure looks very similar to Lipoic acid. Though I suppose if there

isn't anything in our bodies that turns this acid into a chelator as

does the body with Lipoic acid then it isn't much use as a chelator.

Thanks,

Mike
