Reading up on the science behind AOR's Ortho Core in their Advances Magazine, they mention extended-release R(+)-Lipoic Acid at the end of the article very briefly. I'm assuming this means they have this very product coming soon as I've never before read or heard of it. Just thought this was interesting.

yes, last time i spoke with a rep from AOR... they said they would be coming out with a stablized, time released R-LA...hopefully at a moderate price.

i cant wait for that.

Awesome!

I used to like taking time-release vitamin C. I liked to think that it was the closest I could get to being one of the many species that produces their own vitamin C. Then I read that time-release vitamin C is basically a waste of money. As I cannot afford to have urine/blood testing to see if my C was actually being retained longer, I switched to 500mg of plain ascorbic acid about 5 times per day, as recommended by doctors Hickey and Roberts in their book Ascorbate. In talking with Ajnast4r (and as per Scott L's recommendations) I will probably switch to some form of mineral ascorabtes in the near future.

It will be interesting to see if AOR offers a plasma study to back up their claims of "extended release." There were some interesting looking graphs on the Relentless Improvement blog somewhere that showed GernoNova's product releasing r-lipoic over a few hours. It's funny, it doesn't seem to be available on the GN site.

Dante (what does Dantecubit mean BTW?),

1. I've started taking a time release ascorbate before bed for the same reason (in addition to the multiple times while awake) since I"m not willing to get up in the middle of the night.

2. As far as the graphs for the Geronova stuff...I can't find it on Pete's site just now, but if you call up Geronova they'll be glad to share the details with you. I don't think the time release property was what they were going for, only an unexpected benefit.

We are advised the AOR R(+) SR™ will be available in the USA in approx 4-6 weeks. Pricing is unknown. The manufacturing science necessary to achieve a time release r-lipoic is herocally complicated and I would not expect this to be a low-priced product. Companies have worked on this problem for years, and so far only GeroNova Research has achieved documented optimized (time-release) plasma levels. We are looking forward to AOR's entry into the market.

I was the first to bring this critical issue to public light in this thread here on ImmInst. With this product, AOR is bringing increasing awareness to the need for a steady state lipoic level in the bloodstream.

It is no hollow claim that at Relentless Improvement our focus has always been on innovation, and we are thrilled to partner with leading edge suppliers while other retailers focus on cutting prices on yesterdays news.

GeroNova r-lipoic plasma study link.

GeroNova link is a history of r-lipoic acid. Interesting and informative.

Thanks to our friends at GeroNova for providing this information. They spent their own money to conduct this groundbreaking research. Please respect the copyright by not reposting the charts/graphs directly to any public forums. Reposting of the links above are permissable use and welcomed.

Added r-lipoic info can be found in this thread about "not being fooled by the R-ALA nonsense".
