Brooks, many thanks as always for your information, much appreciated. 

If I may ask a couple of questions:

1. Am I right in thinking that calcium ascorbate would be OK instead of sodium 
ascorbate? And would you have to be careful about balancing the calcium with 
magnesium if you were taking large doses?

2. How much sodium bicarbonate do you need to add to buffer ascorbic acid and 
can there be problems with taking in too much sodium?


3. I have read that R lipoic acid ( is that an optical isomer of the "normal" 
alpha lipoic acid?) is supposed to be much more potent and that the L form has 
some negative properties, can't remember what. I am not sure if this is 
commercial hype or true.The R form is more expensive. Do you have any thoughts 
on this?

BW,

Sheila
