Can anyone provide substantive info regarding the relative benefits of switching from alpha lipoic to r-lipoic.
I seem to recall that mrsD said she was going to switch to r-lipoic. MrsD, are you there?
Thanks.

I've read that r-lipoic should be twice as potent as ALA. I'm calculating that on iherb.com, Doctor's Best R-Lipoic Acid is about 3.4 times as expensive as Jarrow Alpha-Lipoic Sustain, when calculated on a $ per gram basis. So the ALA seems to be a better value to me. If the r-lipoic were less than 2 times as expensive then it might be the way to go, but it's not even close. I have been using the Jarrow for years and find it effective in reducing my pain.
