To further ELI5, racemic means a mixture of left handed (Dextrorotatory) and right handed (Laevorotatory) versions of the same compound. Some molecules can have two different shapes that are mirror images of each other, and these different shapes can interact differently with our biology. In this case, the right handed version is available in stores with no prescription, while the left handed version is a very controlled substance. |
