I knew I was still good for something. Search skills.
Now if you can handle fresh yogurt bacteria,or kill them and then eat,here you go.
I know nothing else about
the process except what is written here.
Put regular R-ALA in,and the bugs spit out the reduced form.
I figured this might need its own thread.
Too bad about
Van,someone might let him know about
this.
This might also happen in your gut with ALA,if it hets there.
Have fun researching,and buying yogurt makers.
