Also, reading the one report it states : It has been suggested that the presence of S-lipoic acid in the racemic mixture may limit the polymerization of R-lipoic acid and enhance its bioavailability. At present, it remains unclear which supplemental form is best to use in clinical trials.
So it may be better to use the mix ?

I really have no expertise but everything I've read says the S-ALA which is a byproduct in making the R-ALA supplement is inactive and really doesn't do anything to help. I think it's just cheaper to leave it in instead of refine the product more to take out the S-ALA for a 100% R-ALA product. This article has an easier to read and understand explanation...

I wouldn't purchase the version with S-ALA even if it's cheaper, but that's just my opinion.
