So does anybody know what is the Na-R—ALA half-life?
I have tried search everywhere but dont really find any real information about that.. I found couple old comments from some old forum people saying it is much longer than normal ALA’s half-life is it true?
What they were answering

Both racemic and Na-R-ALA have a half life of about 30min. The S-ALA in the racemic form competes with R-ALA for absorption, though. So Na-R-ALA reaches higher peak plasma levels and AUC. Regular R-ALA is almost immediately eliminated, with very low bioavailability.
