Made this thread hoping to help others from the mistake I made for years
Anyways, there's the regular Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) and then theres the R-ALA, but then theres the R-ALA (Stabalized/Bio-Enhanced)
What you want is the Stabilized/Bio-Enhanced version of R-ALA
I think I've pretty much been throwing my money in the toilet, as it seems the non stabilized version of R-ALA is actually even less bioavailable than the regular ALA.
However the stabilized version of R-ALA is much more bioavailable than the regular ALA. The larger company supplement brands in the US, all use the stabilized version of R-ALA in their products, Life extensions, Doctors best, Jarrows formula, etc. You can check by reading the ingredient list.
