That was discussed in previous posts, but I am still confused.
In the paper by Schwarz et al http://crescopublications.org/pdf/crooa/CROOA-2-019.pdf they write on the following treatment
Unless specified the metabolic treatment was: i) 800 mg lipoic acid bid(Solgar, Leonia, NJ, USA)500 mg HCA tid (Solgar); and5 mg naltrexone (Revia; Bristol-Myers Squibb, Rueil-Malmaison, France) at bed time.
But I could not find any product with the R-lipoic acid by Solgar. Also, for Patient 6, they write
She was treated with α-LA (600mg), 500 mgHCA i.v.tid and low-dose naltrexone.
but, for instance, for Patient 9
In early March 2013, this started 2g sodium R lipoate per day, as well as 500 mg HCA, 3 times per day.
that suggest R-lipoic form.
Does it mean that the form of ALA has been different? I am not sure which form of ALA should be preferred.

Thank you, Semyon.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I understand the prescription, R-lipoic acid is optional, and one may start with the other form. I found then Solgar products

https://www.iherb.com/pr/Solgar-Alpha-Lipoic-Acid-200-mg-50-Veggie-Caps/13802
(2 tablets combine to 800mg), as well as 500 mg tablets in

Does it sound reasonable?
R-lipoic and S-lipoic acid are both forms of alpha lipoic acid. They are mirror images of each other.
DeleteIf the product label doesn't specify, I would assume the product is a mix of R- and S-forms. You can buy products that specify the R form. For example:

Thank you, Stephen. Now I think that I understand: ALA is available as a mix or as a ``cleaned'' R-form (the natural one). However, the choice for a treatment looks still tricky too me, since the recipe of Dr. Schwartz does not refer to the R-form exclusively.
DeleteIt's still a bit scary to know on possible side effects of ALA. I am mostly concerned by platelets drop, particularly reinforcing the devastating chemotherapy.
Btw, I found also the following R-form https://www.amazon.de/R-Alpha-Lipons%C3%A4ure-Thiocts%C3%A4ure-300-120-Kapseln/dp/B009PY1P06/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1533512997&sr=8-3&keywords=R-lipoic+acid, available in EU.
Has anyone experienced a drop in their platelet count on ALA?
