works well

I use this product to treat my nerve damage to my feet since I had to go through chemotherapy. I found that without this supplement my feet get more numb and symptomatic where it becomes difficult to walk. I find that the dose of 150 mg is best . Doctors Best is the only ALA that I use. I have been using this supplement for the last 6 years . There can be some epigastric discomfort occasionally. As with all supplements it is prudent to check with your physician first.

I had been doing some health research, and (now wrongly I think) believed this would make me healthier by helping my body to rid itself of toxins. I - stupidly - not only bought about $30 worth of it for myself (as I recall) - but also the same amount to offer to someone else (a pregnant mother, I am deeply embarrassed to admit). After taking it a few times - but having already questioned the morality of even offering it to someone else, let alone a pregnant mother - something prompted me to open a capsule, put it in water directly, and see what it tasted like. It was SO powerfully ACIDIC! It burned my mouth and throat like you would not believe! There is NO WAY that it could be healthy to put something THAT UNNATURAL into a person's body. At that point, it would have been too late to get a refund. And by then, I had decided it is SO dangerous that I felt morally prohibited from returning it into the supply chain. So I chalked up the $60 or so I had spent on it to an expensive learning experience, and dumped it all in the trash. And my only regret in doing even THAT was that I later realized it wasn't even safe enough to put in the TRASH, to have it end up in a LANDFILL. Yes, I dislike this product THAT MUCH, think it's THAT bad a product. Save your money. Save your HEALTH.

For me, the best Alpha-Lipoic Acid supplement I've tried. And its really inexpensive, too. Alpha-Lipoic Acid can help w/ peripheral neuropathy, some erectile disfunction, , & some diabetic issues. For me at least, too much causes itching, so when I tried a national brand at 600 mg per dose, I had the itching response. Halving the dose all but eliminated the itch, so I settled on 150 mg as the best dosage *for me*. Anyone interested in taking alpha-lipoic acid should do their own research, & determine for themselves if it may be beneficial. Since its "generally recognized as safe" for most people, the main consideration may be whether or not its worth its cost. Since this product is inexpensive at only 393 per gram [or, 6.666 per dose], I consider it a good value.

I bought this to try because I read that it helps transport glucose to be used as an energy source by your muscles. I noticed no difference whatsoever. Just thought I'd try it. For those who are interested I think ALA is also a potent anti-oxident. I don't really care. Good quality product! Decent price. Just don't know why I'd ever need it anymore.
