if you are reffering to AST... no its not. this can be said with near certainty.. even without testing (which as you might guess will be done in the near future)
a short : how smart are the AST guys
1. ALA is NOT an amino acid
2. the only thing that has changed is the label.. if you switched to a product where the raw material costs 5-6 times as much.. you might update the description
btw- since you (mc) cannot tell the difference between ALA and R+ (as you posted above).. what are you basing your claim on?
