A REASONABLE DOSE FOR THIS VERY POTENT ANTI-OXIDANT September 27, 2006
Heather L. Parisi (St. Augustine, FL USA)

FIRST THOUGHTS: SUBTLE - SAFE . . . . . . ------ BUT POTENT ANTI-OXIDANT
IN A NUTSHELL: RARE MEDICINAL PRODUCT THAT HAS NOTHING GOING AGAINST ITS USE
Most products that have a potent effect on the human body also cause negative externalities that physicians call, SIDE-EFFECTS. This Alpha Lipoic Acid in 100 Mg capsules, carries with it many benefits, yet few if any risks, side-effects, harmful interactions or toxicity.
WHAT IT IS!
Alpha lipoic acid is a vitamin-like antioxidant. It is called a "universal antioxidant" because it is both fat and water soluble. Alpha Lipoic Acid can be made within the human body and is found in a few foods, such as, yeast and liver.
Perhaps of even more importance, is Alpha Lipoic Acid's ability to regenerate other antioxidants back to their active states. Among these, are Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Co-enzyme Q10 and Glutathione, to name a few.
I generally take several 300 mg. capsules per day, 1, each time I take L-Carnitine, and with other anti-oxidants.
WHAT'S THIS STUFF GOOD FOR?
Like most anti-oxidants, Alpha Lipoic Acid requires a certain leap of faith to include it in your regimen and budget. Though the medical data can only prove direct benefits for ailments such as; Diabetes, Glaucoma and Hepatitis, with Diabetic Neuropathy being the most significantly affected ailment, there are countless health benefits to adding such a safe and natural anti-oxidant that both recycles other anti-oxidants and is both fat and water soluble.

Assuming that you are sold on Alpha Lipoic Acid as a powerful anti-oxidant, you should note that this brand is of good quality. I keep hearing things about the superior purity and consistency of the high-end product lines (my friend used to sell Herbalife.) However, I tried the GNC brand (for $25+ a bottle) and there is no difference. I bought in quantity and saved even more on shipping.

If you want to keep your glucose level in your blood in limits, and hope for healing of your neuropathy problem with feet nerves...take this product in massive doses daily...like 5 each meal...my sugar glucose levels has been in limits like 118, after eating toasted bread butter and cream cheese as much as I wanted....Alpha Lipioc Acid is good for you with diabetes 1 and 2.

Let me put it to you this way i know when im taking it and i know when i'm not , i found when taking several doses at a time three times a day not only suppresses my appetite it works as a diuretic, when i first started taking it i was married to the bathroom all day and all night , and i suddenly felt lighter and 100% better than what i normally did,i swear i felt ten feet tall , and think i lost a little weight also , so i recommend this product ,it worked wonders for me.
