According to this:
http://www.1fast400.com/?products_id=457"Alpha lipoic acid [contains] 50% of the natural R-form and 50% of the unnatural S-form. Most of the therapeutic value lies in the R-form. That is the reason why people get results when they take an alpha Lipoic acid supplement."
As to why you should take (R-)ALA with ALCAR, it doesn't really make sense to me. ALCAR is supposed to be a great antioxidant, yet it's somehow crucial that you take it with another antioxidant. I don't know, (and I'd feel better if all the articles on this stuff weren't written by the people who sell it), I just want people who take ALCAR to be aware of this, especially if they intend to use it longterm.
