I think timed release defeats the purpose of making stabilized R-lipoic. The idea is to facilitate absorption, in a product that is poorly absorbed to begin with.
The fate and excretion of ALA is not a well known factor.
But I noticed that it took 2 full days to come down off my 200mg a day dose! So I don't think it is eliminated quickly from the body.
Things eliminated quickly from the body, after being absorbed
well (with good bioavailability) may work with timed release.
Vit C is one. But nutrients are not like drugs in many respects.
Timed release for example is useless for B12, which is barely absorbed normally.
