I used regular ALA, not R-ALA.

, traditionally we use regular Alpha Lipoic Acid. If I recall correctly,

originally the idea was that most or all of the studies on Lipoic Acid and

chelation were done by taking Alpha LA.

I think I recall there might be additional concerns about the R-form, maybe

something about B1 and maybe that the Alpha LA converts in the body better to

DHLA, which is the actual dithiol chelator of mercury, arsenic, etc. You can

see the dual SH groups (mercury magnets) here.

These are a couple of links.

There are explanations on the web about the differences between them; however we

are using LA for a very specific purpose. We don't want to be rolling the dice,

esp with our struggling little ones.

I am pretty positive Andy said not to use R-ala and you will probably find his

explanation on the Onibasu archives.
