Hi, Ron Reiner, et al, I have been following the thread about lipoic acid with interest. I haven't been able to locate a local source, (South Australia). I have imported goods from USA before, but our Therapeutic Goods Administration doesn't allow the importation of products which have animal components. I have looked at several web pages looking for details of how, and from what, this product is manufactured, without finding any details. I would appreciate hearing from anyone has this info, or can point me to where it may be found. Alternatively, if any of the other Aussie list members know where it is sold in Australia, if at all, I would be pleased to hear, either on or off list.
