Given the new concerns about mercury in corn syrup, getting your vits in a gummie is not a great idea.

The gummy vitamins are targeted to children. This is rather
dangerous, since kids may secretly steal them and consume them in high doses.
Thanks for the gummie info.....could only guess at what they were....possibly won't come across them in the UK but useful to know about possible Mercury Content....and avoiding them......

Also thanks for including Lipoic and R-Lipoic acid info/comment on an earlier Post, Vits list....

I saw 800mg per day on "important Links and stickies" page 2 #19 as a European, regular Alpha Lipoic, daily dose suggestion.....

As R-Lipoic Acid is more effective than regular Lipoic....I was curious if it was known how much of a dose reduction, when using R-Lipoic, would work and still be effective..ie down to 2/3rds, 1/2, 1/3rd?....,

I'm non-Diabetic....but I guess there's no sense in taking a high recommended dose if its not necessary, though maybe it would give extra health benefits?

still finalizing the Supps list....just trying to get it as correct as possible as ordering from USA online...can't get some of the things I'm looking for, locally and it often works out less expensive to order everything online from USA!......
thank you for your Posts and help...
