I was taking the cheap, s type crap, for several months -- zip, nada, nothing. I heard about the R type, got it the same day. Cost more!! But the very same night I took one pill of the magic stuff: a miracle. I could walk across the floor without enormous pain.
Thanks so much for getting the word out.
KISSES & HUGS!!!

R-ALA has helped me hugely with bad neuropathic widespred pain. I have/had tingling, numbness, deep pain, deep internal and external itching, shocks, severe nerve pain, and water trickling sensations, sensitive "sunburn feeling" skin on my back, shooting pains, stinging pain everywhere. My right upper outer thigh bringing me the very worst agonizing pain the longest..it is now numb, as are other areas on my body. Way less heat sensations felt ( not sure about cold sensations), on my legs, chest, back. Horrible heavy legs feelings like there is cement inside them. Originally (not knowing) I had the good R-ALA which was helping, then when i went to purchase more, they werent carrying that one anymore, so I bought a different one, which turned out to be RS-ALA and i noticed my pains returning. By the time i had almost finished the bottle, i discovered a medical video much like this one, explaining the differences of Alpha Lipoic Acid, I checked my bottle and sure enough, i had bought the lousy kind the second time. I ended up ordering the R-ALA on-line and have been back on the good one a few weeks now, again HUGE IMPROVEMENT I am feeling...its working! Thank you!!! ❤

I went on Keto diet and OMAD intermittent fasting. All my neuropathy pain went a way, prior to that I took r-lipoic acid as the same brand you recommended. I took 600-1200, it didn’t work as well as changing my diets. X-out all the processing food, refined carbs and sugars and omega- 6 oils. Straight Whole Foods and intermittent fasting! It also removed my osteoarthritis. It took effective within 21 days. I will continue with this diets and fasting the rest of my life. I love it. Let’s food be Thy medicine!

My autistic brother suffered a stroke on Nov 2022, started taking R- Alpha Lipoic Acid, along with Magnesium and B12 vitamins, and he is know walking and talking more and more (10 weeks post stroke).

Thank u since April I have had a lot of nerve pain and my feet are saying “don’t walk on me”. I so sad because I’ve always been athletic. I’m starting this vitamin now so I pray it work for me.

Such a refreshing, non-promotional video on R-ALA, plus the links to getting the least expensive form! Thanks Dr. Tom

Very good motivational inspiration!!! Here's the thing, through my own personal experience, I have come to find that taking the Ayurvedic approach of counter-balancing, I utilize 1000-2500 mg Bitter Melon before each meal, way cheaper than buying fresh veg. Further, I've found that if I eat like, pumpkin seeds in the evening for their magnesium, my feet burn, so I can either take the bitter melon before I eat, or take Chromium Picolinate to neutralize the pain. Berberine (600 mg.) is also great before eating. Experimenting with each of these gives one a lot of options that actually work to eliminate the pain ASAP!!!!

I make green smoothies with pineapple, ginger, lemon, spinach, water and a little pineapple juice. It is a good way to quickly get the greens. I don't have a fancy expensive blender, I use a food processor and then an emulsion mixer. I was skeptical but it actually tastes good.

Thanks for this information, for those taking ALA, make sure you take it in the morning as this may cause insomnia if you take it before bed.

[stevenw]

Congrats! You are the second doctor to mention the two types of ALA. I just found out what I've been taking probably has the type S in it. They are also mixing the two kinds to save money. Some call those a third type but it's really just the two. They should have to stop selling the type S. Type R is the natural kind.

[artspark]

ALA helps me a lot. If I don't take it for a few days I get horrible nerve pain in my feet that wakes me up at night.

[lduve]

Thank you for describing the difference so clearly.
I ordered some of the s type last night, and now I’m going to cancel my order.

You can take this compound at much higher levels than what is recommended on the supplement label from jarrow or any other company. My opinion is that time release works better because it only sticks around in the blood about an hour and then a little more but not very long. You can read up on this. If you're not getting results, it is safe to take much more. I take one to 2, 000 mg a day sometimes when I'm really pushing my boundaries with overtime work. You have to spread your doses out throughout the whole day when you take much larger amounts. I've done this for years. It keeps me from getting sick and keeps me looking young.

I take alpha lipoic sustain with biotin for vegan Jarrow brand. I’ve been taking for about 4 years. Took for neuropathy but to my pleasant surprise I no longer have hypoglycemia symptoms which I had my whole life for me alpha lipoic is my miracle 🌈🌞

Make sure to get the stabilized form of R-lipoic acid.
The Cyclodextrin kind is the best.
I've been taking it for a month and it's helped relieve the nerve pain I had in my back as well as relieve the numbing tingling I had in my thigh.

[spazmonkey]

I like how you mention cost in today's economy.It shows me that you are a caring person.
Thank You.

the radical scavenging and chellating properties of ALA dont matter no matter if its the R or S form but the other effects such as the metabolic effects for blood sugar do matter.
If you are taking it for diabetes then you need only the R form but if you are taking it for its radical scavenging properties then it doesnt matter.

[jennym.]

I really appreciate your study on this. I am going to incorporate more spinach and broccoli in my diet. Thank you so much, Dr. Tomasz!

[randseedbin]

I contacted a supplement manufacturing company with this question about R vs. S alpha-lipoic acid, and they said all the studies that indicate it is effective in treating neuropathy have been done with a racemic combination of R and S. They stand behind that research. Hard to tell who to believe. My own oncologist said it didn't matter.
