Lionel:
Lipoic acid does not have any animal components. It is produced in small
amounts by your body already but that is not the source of the supplement.
Sorry, I can't be more of a help to you since I have no experience
down-under. I have occassionally stumbled on mail-order Web sites selling
the stuff.
BTW: Do you refer to North America as "up-over"?
