As I understand it (subject to correction by the resident chemists), ALA consists of 2 versions of the molecule - a righthanded (R) and lefthanded (S).

Only the R-(+)-enantiomer exists in nature and is an essential cofactor of four mitochondrial enzyme complexes.[4] Endogenously synthesized RLA is essential for life and aerobic metabolism.

Why the ratio comes out around 1:6 instead of 1:1, I have no idea unless perhaps the normal ratio of synthesizing ALA is 1:6.
Taking the two probably couldn't hurt, but it would be the same as taking 200 mg of RLA.
