DOES ANYONE KNOW IF GOOD'N' NATURAL BRAND AND OLYMPIAN LABS INCORPORATED BRAND sells the R-alpha lipoic acid version or the SYNTHESIZED Alpha Lipoic acid version.

Answer 2

go to iherb.com or vitacost.com or swansonvitamins.com and you will see dozens of manufacturers of RALA. I personally like brands like Doctors Best or Jarrow or Now or Life Extension and there are many other reputable sellers. I personally have used RALA for nine months now and have stopped using ALA

Answer 3

Thorne Research and Pure Encapsulations sell R-LA.  However, these professional brands are generally only available through licensed health care professionals.

Fortunately, you can purchase Thorne's products through a fantastic mail-order company called NEEDS.  Try their website: needs.com.

Best wishes and good luck.

p.s. I just checked Puritan's Pride (I generally have a very low opinion of their products) and they only offer the mixed isomer form of lipoic acid (which confirms my poor opinion of them).
