I believe 600mg only comes in the Racemic old type. ALA....
The old version is r-lipoic regular (not stablized) and s-lipoic.
The body does not have receptors for s- version.

You will have to take that on an empty stomach and possibly use
2 or more a day.

The R-lipoic stabilzed we are talking about is another newer version that allows for lower dosing.

1/2 of the old version is inactive so you only get 300mg out of a 600mg capsule. It still will work some, only high doses are needed as opposed to the stablized new form.
