R-ala?

Hey everyone!! I'm new here and I've been seeing a couple things about r-ala. I am a big fan of ala but I am wondering if someone could please elaborate on what exactly r-ala is, if it's safe, and where it is found. I would really appreciate all the help!! thanks!!

Thanks but I did a search and came up with overr 200 results- everyone seemed as if people really knew what they were talking about without much of an explanation of what r-ala is and how it is different than ala. I take approximately 600 mg of ala a day and love it. Would r-ala make much of a difference?

read here for some of the differences:
http://www.anabolicfitness.net/ALA/index_1.htm

the main of which are that r-ala reduces plasma insulin, is a better anti oxident, and has more preferential shuttling of carbs to muscle while reducing fat deposition (more often than not increasing fat loss even with maintanance calories.. at least until homeostasis for new plasma insulin levels reached)

For those interested.

Check out the paper, Exercise Training and Antioxidants: Relief from Oxidative Stress and Insulin Resistance. Henricksen and Saengsirisuwan. Exerc Sport Sci Rev 31(2): 79-84, 2003.

Good review and some review data on the synegistic effects of exercise and r-ALA on performance, insulin AUC, 2-DG uptake and IRS-1 protein in obese rat SOL.
