Your body produces alpha-lipoic acid naturally, but it is also found in a variety of foods and as a dietary supplement.

It's very important that you take the R form, i.e. R- Alpha-lipoic Acid. If it's not mentioned, the supplement has a 50/50 mix of R and S form. The S form has no activity, so you only get half of the active amount. Hence, you have to make sure it explicitly says on the supplement bottle that it's the R form.

I've been using ALA for years. I replaced neurontin for nerve pain. I recommend for neuropathy.

I have been taking R Alpha Lapoic Acid and other supplements for over a year . I have virtually taking over my overall health. I have not had an illness in almost a decade.

I bought some r lipoic acid. Used with ubquinol and ribose it should help combat chronic fatigue

Hi - I have had type 1 diabetes for about 25 years and have recently found out about ALA. I've been taking 300mg of the R type twice a day (600mg / day) for about 3 weeks now and I have been able to reduce my insulin dose by roughly 20% (I'm using a tandem insulin pump and Dexcom sensor). My sugar is not spiking as high as it used to after meals, the curves on the graph are much flatter, blood glucose rises more slowly and comes down more slowly. Thankfully I don't have any diabetes complications so can't really say anything about the other diabetes related benefits or otherwise.

It is good to see discussion of insulin resistance as a disease of fat accumulation in popular science. I think of this as a "no thanks, I'm full" signal. If you want an interesting research topic, then Homocysteine might be one. Start with Dr. Greger's really old video "40 year old vegan dies of a heart attack". This was very early in his career and he has probably reversed on some aspects, but it is a good intro to homocysteine, IMO. The best way to live to 100 includes starting by not having a heart attack.

I’ve been taking it for years helping the nerves in my feet great video

Dr. Berton Berkson of Las Cruces, NM has used both intravenous and oral ALA to heal damaged livers from Hepatitis and avoid costly liver transplant.

I have noticed that I'm not having afternoon cravings for sugar and I have the feeling that i am full after every meal and have no more the need to eat a little more...

ALA -2.4 GRAMS CURES CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME

[liviacotto]

I am thinking to take it, it is also present in Nuchido time+ as it seems to boost NAD level. But it must be the R form, the organic one, otherwise it does not work at all.

[locoman]

Dr. Berton Berkson authored a book titled The alpha lipoic acid breakthrough. It describes benefits of the nutrient

[nwetyinwin]

Thanks very much for this informative video!

[moonlightshadow]

You need to be careful not to take it with certain other meds at the same time.

[kennethmarquis]
