> Lar, thanks for filling in the technical details which for which I don't have much knowledge.

A pleasure, dude. If I missed anything....

> I'm Scottish too, for better or worse I tend to never give up. A few years ago I visited Hadrian's wall between England and Scotland. Seems the Roman conquest moved toward Scotland and they decided that they just could't deal with those independent, obstinate people :-).

And what's up with the men wearing the skirts up there, eh? My grandfather had the right to a tartan, so, as I understand it, I do too. Thing is, when I checked out the cost......12 yards of hand-woven wool (all those pleats).....about a grand! And no sporan, for that!

> I guess I'm still wondering, would it be better to just pour some flax oil on my oatmeal to get the ALA (maybe better absorption).

Just to be sure, with all these sound-alike contractions, ALA = alpha-linolenic acid, aka ALNA? If yes, then boil the flax seeds right into the porridge. They'll burst. Or get some Red River cereal (a Canadian staple). Flax and cracked whole wheat, I think, is all it is.

> If I continue with the capsules I guess I'll go for the R- form. And capsules have the convenience factor.

If it is the alphalipoate in the flax you're after, then go with the oil (if it is fresh, and cold-pressed).
