  4. Adai looks so good. please clear one doubt of mine. Tapioca means sabudana, isn't it? You asked to peel and grate it. Is it something else too?

  13. Because I try to maintain a healthy lifestyle, I've learned about the benefits of r-alpha lipoic acid canada. Its availability in Canada has me giddy with excitement, and I'm really contemplating adding it to my regular regimen. I would be very appreciative if someone could tell me which brands of r-alpha lipoic acid supplements are good and where I can get them. How about we discuss this intriguing dietary supplement?
