Interesting, right?

As a detail, I clearly experience the better bioavailability of Na-R-ALA. Often marketed as “stabilized”. As well as what I believe is the increased bioavailability of Na-R-ALA dissolved in water.

The main point I wanted to make is that it occurred to me when reading your comment that I know myself to be somewhat “oxidatively burdened”, if that’s a term? I have mild psoriasis, which is known to use oxidative and redox capacity in the immune system’s activation in the rash. (afaik immune cells “fire bullets” of oxidization at perceived intruders.) There are other stressors in my life which are also inherently oxidising in the molecular biology of it. I’d bet a nice bottle of Oban that that is a factor in the sense of relief.
