I don't think you will find a local store unless it is a mega large health food place.
You CAN get this on Amazon! I just did with free shipping (combined with another purchase). Source naturals brand.
Iherb has it too. I've used Source Naturals (tablet form), Country Life and Doctor's Best. All are affordable.
The major companies are now making it. Source Naturals is handy if you want to break a dose in half, since it is a tablet.
Start at 100mg a day, and maybe work up to 200 if you need it.
Estimates are that r-lipoic is more potent than the alpha form.
(up to 6 times more potent).
