Alpha Lipoic Acid Benefits - Avoid The Scams
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
There’s more emerging news every day about the amazing health benefits of Alpha Lipoic Acid and it’s backed up by clinical studies. Benefits like:
- Nerve pain reduction
- Nerve regeneration
- Decrease in elevated glucose levels
- Improvement in insulin sensitivity
- Reduction of elevated cholesterol
- And it may even promote weight loss
So, it’s no wonder that people are rushing out to buy this amazing antioxidant. But beware of the Alpha Lipoic Acid SCAM!
Did you know there are 3 different forms of this antioxidant, but Only One Form has all of these amazing properties. Most supplement companies will sell you the wrong form, which isn’t effective, simply because it’s much cheaper for them to manufacture and they get a bigger profit margin.
So, Which form of Alpha Lipoic Acid or ALA do you need and Are you buying the correct one?
Alpha Lipoic Acid exists in THREE DIFFERENT FORMS but only One Form is EFFECTIVE.
The only form that is EFFECTIVE is ‘R’-Alpha Lipoic Acid.
This form is biologically active and exists in the natural form you find in your body or in food. This is the exact type of ALA that our body makes and requires.
It’s twice as potent as S-Alpha Lipoic Acid or RS-Alpha Lipoic Acid
And it’s both water and fat-soluble. This means that it can get into any and all cells, unlike other antioxidants like vitamin E, which can only get into fat-soluble cells, or vitamin C, which can only get into water-soluble cells.
R- Alpha Lipoic Acid is the only form of that anyone should take. Otherwise, you’re just wasting your money. To get the correct R-ALA, visit our website at: bit.ly/Nuphoria-Gold

Four months after a two month stint in the hospital with covid and a twice collapsed lung I had pain in my heart (or heart area) when I breathed in deeply. The pain wasn't lessening at all with time. My doctor gave me an IV of Alpha Lipoic Acid and I swear to god 90% of the pain was gone by that evening. Then the following week I got another IV and the pain was 99% gone. After the third IV the pain was completely gone and hasn't come back and that was a couple of months ago. I'm a believer. My doctors all believed that I was suffering from nerve damaged from the emergency chest tube that they put between my ribs and that my heart wasn't involved.
That's fantastic. I'm so happy that you were in a hospital that was that progressive and offered ALA IV infusions. Most don't. So happy to hear that you're on the road to recovery.
@@NerveDoctors Actually, the IV was done by my functional medicine doctor. She tried to get the hospital to give me various IVs like Vitamin C while I was there and she had a very hard time of it.
@D S can my primary care doctor give me this IV?
@D S can my primary care doctor give me this IV?
Yeah, they usually look at whatever is most convenient for them to say whether it is accurate or not. And they follow each other like lemmings so have to hope the first one got lucky and got it right. Good luck with every thing.
I have been buying and supplementing with alpha lipoic acid since 2005. This is the first time these different forms of ALA have come to my attention. Better late than never.
Thank you for being straight with us and not sugar coating it. You called it a scam, and it is. I'm having such difficulty finding a good one to purchase, because te powers that be want us ill and dumbed down
I had a hard time finding R-ALA too. I found one at Super Supplements (Vitamin Shoppe). Life Extension brand "Super R-Lipoic Acid 240 mg, and yes, like she said it was near $50! But if it works, it's worth it!
I learned about ALA just recently and was just about ready to order it from Amazon. I have neuropathy in both feet. I noticed in researching the products on Amazon that there were R-ALA, S-ALA, and RS-ALA and was very confused about that. SO, thank you for such a detailed explanation about which product is the best. I am thankful I came across your video before I put in my order. Blessings!!!
Well put!
Thanks for explaining the difference...geeze
Ahhh!Ty,Ty I literally just learned of this from Dr.Mandela on You Tube and was just about to order,and then your video popped up.Look at God.❤
@@NerveDoctors Can you recommend a good brand of R ALA? I'm trying to order online and I can' see the ingredients.
@@bobtillman5769 I’ve been taking Life extension brand for many years. I’ve had severe PN from chemo for years. Recently I found out I was low on B12 so starting that I’m even better.
One thing I love about this doctor is, she responds to her followers. We greatly appreciate it 💪💞
I try. Thank you so much!
@@NerveDoctors I agree. She helped me also
I am taking aspirin can take R ALA
@@NerveDoctors where is the link
@@andreaandrea874 In the description, like she said.
I've taken ALA and I can tell you it works. My vision improves every time I take it.
Happy holidays, Brian. Thank you so much for sharing this information. Have a blessed and joyous holiday!!
Please, Sir, what brand do you use? I'm on chemo and hear this may help.
What's the brand you use?
I like when you ask brand..nobody responds!!@patriotares
Try Fenbendazole for the cancer! It's an anti-worm medicine for animals, but people can take it as well. It happens to also kill cancer cells really effectively. There are a good number of people that were stage 4, tried this drug because they had nothing to lose and got cured! Do your research and good luck! The only contraindication I know is you can't take it if you're pregnant.
This channel is life and has the best information on this topic online hands down
I guess we can’t get away from the money grubbers who don’t care if you get better or not , just spend your money on junk. Thank you for your honest information.👍🙌keep up the good work
Six months ago I found this video. I found to be very informative and I bought ALA from Amazon. It took some time to heal my nerves just like you said in video. Today after following your protocol I am at 98% recovered from neuropathy. The nerves damage I had was from a fall by accident in my back yard. I like to thank you so much for your efforts in putting out this videos and sharing your knowledge with people. Very grateful.
WOO HOO! WAY TO GO, TIEL. So happy that you took a proactive approach to your health and look how it paid off. You should be extremely proud of yourself. Blessings.
Tiel Roxy you can also take unfortified nutritional yeast and get your B vitamins over time will heal the mylan sheath covering it does work well it did for me
Were you using the Nuphoria-Gold that the good doctors are marketing?
That is wonderful what name brand did you get off of Amazon?
@@kuljim2602 Yes, I did it for 6 Months and I am very happy with the results. Just like she said in the video, it takes time it will not happen in a week or two,but I felt the progress in my hand than in my fingers.
😮Thank you so much for educating us. I really didn't know that R Lipoic Acid is the real deal. Appreciate you so much. We need more Doc's like you.
Dr. Monteiro, I am obviously not the only one who deems you to be a most concerned and benevolent doctor, who cares about the quality of your work and how you relay the topics to your public. We love and appreciate you.
She's got you fooled!
I bought NA-R alpha lipolic acid 600mg from Immunovites. Is this the R you recommended?
Thank you
Thanks Doc for educating us on the scams! I am more educated now and will avoid those synthetic scammers! Nice Work!
I found you two days ago. You are a answer to prayer. Thank God and thank you.💞
Great information, I did not know the difference - I got rid of my Type 2 diabetes over 10 years ago from Doctor Fung and the neuropathy is just about gone ... you are a true blessing... thank you
You are so welcome and CONGRATULATIONS! Job well done young 'Sky Walker'.
Dr Fung saved my life. He is awesome!!!
What did you use to get rid of it?
@@DMWB57 where is Dr. Fung located?
I believe Dr. Fung is based in Canada. He has many videos on TH-cam and his book(s) are sold in bookstores, Amazon, etc.
I have suffered from feet nerve damage for years, and this educational information has been an eye opener. Thank you love!
Thanks for bringing this to light as I'm now aware that I've been duped....again.
Thanks! I did a lot of research and this is the most complete video I could find about alpha lipoic acid. And it's the only video I found that differentiates between the types of alpha lipoic acids that exist and teaches how to recognize the ideal. Thank you one more time!
Good morning, Silvanaldo. You are so very welcome. So glad it was especially useful. That truly makes us happy. Have a great weekend!
Great I just bought what doesn’t work
@@NerveDoctors I knew, thank goodness. The companies that sell the useless form are criminal and should be held accountable. Plain and simply fraudulent.

My heart-felt gratitude for watching this video before I opened my first purchase of ALA (from a reputable Australian brand) only to find that the active ingredients did not state "R" on the ingredient list.
Luckily, I kept the receipt and did not open. So, I ventured onto Amazon to purchase your brand "Nuphoria" only to find that it is completely sold out. There is another brand I will research before I buy. (Jarrow)
Thank you so much for caring enough to enlighten us poor sufferers - Life's tough enough having to deal with the pain let alone unwittigly giving money to unscrupulous shysters for nothing!!
Thanks for being straight and informative. 😊
Excellent job explaining this to us. Thank you so much!
Thanks very much Dr, that's great information for some of us. I learnt of ALA only yesterday and it's effectiveness in helping with periphery nerve repair but never the difference. Now I know what to get when I go to the pharmacy. Bless you.
Thanks for the education! We need more people like you .
Thank you so much, Raymond. We enjoy making a difference. Blessings.
Dr. Eric Berg on TH-cam.
I was about to buy ALA not knowing there's a huge difference between R ALA and S ALA. Thanks so much for saving us from those pharmaceutical predators. Blessings!
Thank You Doctor for making me educated in this path of self study, self-awareness & self help.
You go lovely!! Stay as stress free as you can and embrace your healing journey with self love. (I do this and believe we are led by our guiding spirit) X
I am disgusted with Solgar, as they don’t identify the source . I live in South Africa and I can’t find an honest product. Thank you for the info.
Hi Sheila. You are so very welcome. Solgar was once an outstanding supplement company, but I too have been quite disappointed with their quality over the past few years. Have a great week.
That surprises me Solgar is a very reputable company. The Blue bonnet company is all of solgars ex staff they wanted to use cheaper ingredients Solgar said no so Blue bonnet uses cheaper ingredients
Hi please let me know if you found the right product, I live in CT, South Africa
I also need a good source in SA
Solgar Was Sold To The Big Conglomerate NESTLE !
Hi Doc. I just found you on YT. All I can say is WOW!!!. The way you explain, illustrate and break down things. Amazing. Thank you.
Awww! Thank you so very much. I'm so glad you find it helpful. Let me know if you have any questions. We're very happy to give guidance. Blessings.
@The Nerve Doctors - Neuropathy Pain Treatment what is the name of the product you recommend please?
Thanks Doctor. I just found out about this stuff from Dr. Allen last night. I would’ve went straight to Amazon to get anything. Then you showed up in my recommendations this morning with a whole lecture on the right kind. I appreciate you. Saved me time and money. I will buy the one from the link you provided in your description.
Thank you for these precisions,so important!❤
Thank you for your videos. Am 41 and just spent 2,5 months in hospital due to cellulitis and sepsis. I was in coma for almost 2 weeks. When I wake up I realized that I don't have any feelings in both my legs, my foots are completely numb. I know for my surgeon that they was fighting with infection, high blood temperature but also high blood sugar(Am diabetic) Neurologist diagnosed me with diabetic neuropathy. I was fully mobile before the hospital now I can barely walk. Am back home now and just received letter from physiotherapy hospital that I will have to wait 18 weeks for the appointment so your videos are the only thing that I have to help me get back on my feet 😊😊😊
OMGosh that’s horrible! How are you doing now!? Did you get some ALA? I’ve been reading a lot about it combined with benfotimine (spelling?), and it’s supposed to work synergistic miracles. Please let us know how your legs and feet are doing! (I know how difficult recovery from coma can be - I was in a coma for 10 days)….. ❤
@@MariaWalker-qo3vi Am on Nuphoria Gold since over a month and I can feel the difference. I have started moving much more around the house and pain is more manageable. Still struggling with a foot drop but I managed to get an appointment with a private neurologist so am hoping to get some answers from him. I also had an appointment with a private physiotherapist and she believes that I have not been diagnosed and managed properly at the hospital That is why she referred me to a neurologist so proper tests can be done to understand what exactly caused a food drop and nerves damage. Thank you for your message 😊
Am sorry to hear you was in coma, hope you feeling better now.
@@sylazytowska6857 sweet of you to say that. I’m much better now. But it’s been 14 years. Had to do a deep dive into natural cures - I prob wouldn’t be alright if I hadn’t. Dr Eric Berg is another good source of info, but I’ll bet you know that already. Keep us posted on your recovery. I’m very interested. ❤️
🙏
Your Vlogs are brilliant, for one you give crystal clear researched run downs am particularly on peripheral Neuropathy, and above all you are not an alarmist trying to sell something amid fear and confusion. This information about different types of ALA was godsend, as I had a hit a road block in the treatment of PN using ALA that was clearly not the R form of ALA. So thank you once again and I am now your viewer for good🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing your kind words, Asim. Blessings.
Will R ALA help with back pain caused by spinal stenosis etc.? I've had many injections and an ablation that left a huge dent in my hip area. They said the nerves will grow back but I don't think they have. Why don't doctors ever mention natural supplements like you have? It's always about keeping the patient “sick” and the money made from that. I bought what you suggested for my husband who has post-hermetic neuralgia from shingles. His doctor thought it was cancer! I cannot wait to see how he does. I also ordered him L-lysine, olive leaf extract, Vit B complex, Vit D. It's a horrible pain. I even researched the New England Journal of medicine and they are “ trying” to find a cure for various types of pain. Not one word about anything natural! Somehow I'm not surprised. God bless you and your family! Thank you!
I had no clue that there is a difference. I truly thank you for the information. I need to get your book.
Just found your channel a couple months ago. I bought your Nuphoria Max Strength. Excellent product. I personally like the fact there aren’t a lot of filler ingredients, you get a good B vitamin RDA and most importantly it actually works. Not the cheapest but the results are priceless. Thank you
You are a LIFE SAVER!! We need more doctors like you!! Keep up the good work and GOD BLESS YOU AND YR FAMILY!!!!
Thank you so much. You as well!
Thank you for taking the time to educate those of us who really could use some help with our discomfort!! Bless you.
Thank you for a very educational video. I've learned more from this video than the years of seeing the neurologist.
Wonderful presentation, very informative. Thank you so much.
I’ve been doing a lot of research recently and learned that the R Alpha Lipoic Acid is the authentic form . I’m impressed with your videos. Thank you.😢
Thank you Doctor. I learned a lot from you. More than 10 years ago, I had a flu that lasted for more than two weeks and self medicated with antibiotic. I lost all my muscles and was diagnosed with Miller Fisher Syndrome which was treated with 5 nights of Immunoglobulin vaccine thru IV. My neuro doctor explained that my own immune system attacked my nerves instead of attacking the virus. The sheet that covers my nerves was damaged by my own immune system. I think I have an autoimmune disorder.
I'm just seeing this because I've been researching neuropathy pain in my husband's feet since his DX od Rhabdomylosis last June. They put him on Gabapentin and although it seems to help his pain, I don't want him on it long term after watching your video about how it can cause neuropathy as well! I am glad you have a link to purchase this product because I can't find it in my own research. Thank you for all this information you provide free of charge. God bless you.
I had never heard what you just said in the video. Many thanks for this information. Jacquelyn
I was amazed when i watched this video. Have been taking ALA for months now NOT FEELING DIFFERENT AT ALL. I suffer from very bad CRPS in my right knee which has caused me a great deal of neuropathy pain IM ACTUALLY FIGHTING FOR MY LIFE RIGHTNOW im ordering your product immediatly THANK YOU

The old adage. You get ehat you pay for. Thank you Doctor.I was just about to order when I saw your article. You have saved me from buying the wrong product. Thank you
You are so welcome.
Thank you for this. A TH-cam doctor that I recently learned about ALA From actually suggested a product that is the rs type. I’m very thankful I came across your video prior to purchasing. I’m 62 and the myopathy in my feet started after a severe case of covid in 2021 and has gradually gotten worse.
Did you happen to take antibiotics while on Covid? It's possible the Antibiotics left you wiht Nerve Damage. If so what antibiotics did you consume?
@@protectorofthetruth8472 no I did not and do not use pharmaceuticals of any kind and I haven’t been to a doctor for twenty years.
I think multi prescriptions and increasing strengths of anti biotic may have caused my neuropathy symptoms. They were necessary to stop cellulitis - stop infection spreading to my blood or bones, so I am thankful the treatment succeeded. @@protectorofthetruth8472 I
Interesting. My dad's neuropathy started after he got the booster. He can barely lift his arms now.
My neuropathy originated from contracting a mosquito borne virus which triggered Epstein Barr Virus. Then I contracted Covid in early 2020 (loss of taste/smell) which I am sure made my pain worse. However, the pain has lessened due to my changing jobs. (I sit at a desk now) .. Every evening I do Yin Yoga & eat a very clean diet. I have good days and bad days depending on my stress levels. Also, look into Qigong. That has an amazing effect on healing the body too.
Did not know any of this information at all! I am so extremely happy and grateful to have stumbled onto this video!
Thank You and God bless you!!
Hi, Donna P.C. I'm so glad the video was helpful! Thank you so much for watching!
thank you for the informative video, I had no idea and was using the wrong product. I have now ordered your product and I've subscribed. Most people aren't aware of the differences.
Well done and thank you for telling us this important information. Most people have no idea about chirality and the R and S structural configurations of groups of molecules in organic chemistry. It's the difference between a biologically active and an inactive product.
That is correct. Thank you so much for acknowledging that. Blessings.
Please tell us where we can get it from.food and quantities of food
most valuable presentation I’ve ever seen for my neuropathy. I actually have purchased alpha Lipoic acid without the R. I will find it with the R. Thanks again.
Hi Curtis. I'm so glad this video was helpful for you. The brand that I typically recommend for my patients who need just the 'R-ALA is Immunovites (link: amzn.to/3Dy0PdG). We have no affiliation with this company. They simply put out an excellent quality of R-ALA. Blessings.
Tristemente acabo de recibir mi ALA sin "R" . 🙏 Agradezco enormemente que compartan su conocimiento sobre todo cuando se trata de la salud.
@@NerveDoctors Thank you for the video and information. The 'Immunovites' product seems to be NA-R-ALA. Is the the same or different from R-ALA? Is it better? Thank you, Doctor. 🙏
@@marthasandoval6760 😮
So if I have the ALA that consists of both S-ALA and R-ALA I should throw it in the trash?
Sad to say I did not know but I suspected it. Thank for bringing this to light.
Wow! I did not know this. Thank you so much for the clarification.
Thanks for the great info. Never knew there was a difference
And worse that there are companies trying to fool people :(
Thank you for your video. I started taking ALA based on another TH-cam channel promoting the benefits or ALA, but there was never any mention that there were two types of ALA on the market, R-ALA and S-ALA. So, being naïve, I went out and bought the cheapest version there was which was RS-ALA. I'm finishing up the first bottle now and had ordered another bottle to continue on, thinking that it might take several months to be able to see a difference. Thanks to your video I now know that I have been wasting my money, and I returned the other bottle I had bought too. Now on the hunt for the R-ALA, (Real-Alpha Lipoic Acid).
Hi Alan Smart,
I'm glad you found our video informative. We do not carry a stand-alone R-ALA supplement. Because, in our vast experience we've found that when a person has moderate to severe PN or if they've had it for longer than 2 years, R-ALA, by itself won't get them across the finish line. So, we created our nerve support formula with the proper amount of R-ALA (600 mg) along with all of the other critical nutrients for the nerves as outlined in clinical studies. You can find our formula, Nuphoria cm gold and its listed ingredients at healmynerves.com/collections/our-products/products/nuphoria-cm-maximum-strength?
If you'd like to learn more about the critical nutrients for nerve repair, watch this video: • Vital nutrients for nerve repair: th-cam.com/video/wPruq49-ksU/w-d-xo.html
It's a great job educating the needs u deserve good health and wealth
Very very good information, which I didn't know. Thanks. Started learning a lot from your previous videos.
I was in a bad ATV accident on 3/5. I had a concussion and a deep gash in my scalp that required 6 staples which is healing well. Blessedly, I had no broken bones. However, I have deep internal bruising and now I have stabbing pain as my nerves are "waking up", even in my ears. Even my hair follicles hurt! I believe your video is a timely godsend! I need to order your brand of R- alpha lipoic acid and also take the Benfotiamine form of vitamin B-1. God bless you and thank you for your videos!!
Keeping you covered in prayer and wishing you a complete and speedy recovery. Blessings.
@@NerveDoctors God bless you!!
Thank you so much.
Make sure they take a good look at your spine. Thirty years ago I hit something in a field that sent me off the front of a Banshee topped out, somewhere around 60-70mph. I only remember shifting in to 6th... and then ambulance lights. I broke the face guard on my helmet. I had a concussion, a small chunk of flesh missing from my leg, broken and dislocated collar bone. What I just found out 2 years ago is that I have a spinal compression injury between my shoulder blades. It's really been wreaking havoc on me for the last few years. I have no money or insurance so I can't do anything about it. Had I known about the injury then, or even 5 years ago when I still had insurance, it could have been fixed.

I had yet to learn about this! But recently, I read in a doctoral thesis that when you gave alpha lipoic acid (it didn't mention anything about R-, S- or RS ALA) to a group of patients in a dose of 600 mg daily, they recovered within three months from their dilemma. But now that I have listened to this video, I realize how important it is to choose the non-synthetic tablet, which was probably meant in the experiment I referred to above. I have suffered from what I initially called Morton's syndrome, which may actually be neuropathy, although a recent blood test shows that I do not have diabetes. When I thought I had neuropathy, I bought alpha lipoic acid tablets (without an R in front of ALA), and they have made no difference either, which is explained by your explanation. Outstanding presentation and analysis, for which I thank you very much! ❤🙏
PS I saw another article that mentioned that they also tried giving 600 mg of R ALA to patients suffering from Alzheimer's. However, I don't know how the tests turned out, as I didn't get access to the site, which I don't want to pay for (I'm just an ordinary but curious person!) DS
Thank you so much for the advice I'm in a lot of pain from my going downy legs burning feet numbness tingling pins and needles

You both provide such good information!! I love your videos!!
Thanks very much for the important and detailed info that I have been looking for.
I've Being having peripheral nerve pain with edema for about 2years now, and then recently I decided to go see a doctor after the symptoms became worse.I was prescribed amitriptyline to which I took to no effect, then just today I was prescribed pregaballin for the pain .Before taking the drugs I did some online research and I found that this drug has so many bad reviews and somehow I stumbled on this video and I'm so happy I did,I love how you simplified everything and made it so easy to understand, I will be getting the R ALA for my nerve pain for sure.
Hi Kelly. I'm so glad you found our channel. Let me guide you. Based on the little bit you described, you are going to need more than just R-ALA. You will need all of the other critical nutrients for nerve repair. Watch these 2 videos where I cover this:

th-cam.com/video/dKMPMPJM4JY/w-d-xo.html

I can assure you Pregabalin is the worse most evil drug that I ever have taken and I have take a lot. It affected so much my cognition that some people thought I was getting dementia . I was living in a kind of parallel reality, my short term memory completely gone. Avoid it at all costs.
Very smart and informative. God Bless you for speaking the truth. As I am dealing with neuropathy now, and have recently heard of ALA , I am now more educated...thank you.
Thank you for giving us this information!
Omw I am going to check mine now! I have been taking mine for months now and cannot under stand why my leg and foot is not improving after my op 11 months ago.
Thank you so much doctor you are truly an angel ❤
I'm truly happy to help. Now, here are a few things to consider. If you have been using R-ALA with minimal results, then you'll need to complex it with these vitamins B6 (Pyridoxal 5 Phosphate), Benfotiamine(B1) and methylcobalamin (B12). That should make a significant difference. Also, having patience is the key. Nerves are the slowest healing tissues in the body and it can take anywhere from 8 months to 2 years to fully recover. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Blessings.
@@NerveDoctors please advice about B6, it is said that it is toxic when it is out of range, my confusion is when it is water soluble how can it be the most toxic vitamin in B....what is the recommended dose per day for B6... I have neuropathy and colitis both

Thank you for a very informative video clip. (And you got to the point quickly which is always a blessing!)
I unfortunately did buy ALA R+S (without seeing this first), for possible insulin sensitivity - and will have no problem dumping them if there is no obvious benefit.
So surely the manufacturers must provide some benefits or they'd only have single non-repeated orders?

Thank you for clarifying this issue. I will be looking for the R-Alpha Lipoic Acid, in the future. I am very grateful for stumbling across your video.
I was diagnosed with Sural neuropathy about 10 years ago and was told there is no cure. It started in my little toe and slowly spread to both feet. Not sure if Sural neuropathy is the same as peripheral neuropathy. I am taking most of the supplements you recommend. I noticed it got worse after having the covid vaccines and i have been so scared of it getting to the point of losing my independence so am very grateful to find your videos. I am not so scared now that i can see there is hope for healing. Thankyou so much for the work you do to help all of us who can't rely on our GP's. Your guidance is so very appreciated.
As long as the sural nerve does not have an active compression on it, this should help
@@NerveDoctorsHi Dr Monteiro, how will i know if the sural nerve has an active compression on it and what is the difference between Sural Neuropathy and Peripheral Neuropathy? I would really value your knowledge on this.
Thank you for the warning. I just learned about ALA
Appreciate the schooling!
you just taught me a lot R-ALA is "real" ALA. S-ALA is "synthetic" and to be avoided like the plague. got it. 600mg daily is recommended.
You've got it-Todd. Right on track. Let me know if you have any questions.
@@NerveDoctorswhich sight can I buy the r alpha on?
I really enjoy your videos (liked/subscribed). I DO have diabetes, but wonder, are these supplement helpful for those of us that have suffered a stroke?
Thanks for the reply.
Nothing surprises me anymore! Thanks
THANK YOU FOR THIS EYE OPENER.
I have been a little confused why ALA helped me greatly with my inflammation in the past, but now (using a different brand) it makes my inflammation worse. Thank you.
So sorry that you're experiencing this. My guess is the new brand probably isn't the same quality as possibly the old brand. A good quality brand of R-ALA I recommend is: Immunovites. Here's the link: amzn.to/3OY5IPC
Wow ! I’m checking my bottle now and I have a feeling it’s fake. Thank you doctor.
Hi Richard. You're so welcome. Let me know if I can give you any further guidance. Blessings.
So glad to have seen this video. Learned so much from it. I ordered the the R- Alpha Lipoic Acid from them, but haven’t received it yet. So I can’t tell you what it’s like till then. They seem to be very very good. Hope it arrives soon.
I did not know this helpful information. I have a bottle and am going to check it as soon as I can. Thank you so much for this as I am having nerve issues and want to heal and feel better.
Thanks for R ALA video warning on scams. Had just finished viewing a video talking of studies showing 600 mgs of al helped neuropathy- without mentioning the forms. Because I routinely require steroids for my genetic copd, and because of chemo & other things, neuropathy has entered my life. Your hope in this area is not only informative, but inspirational, and this is how true help always starts to come. God bless you all for your inspiration
I just received 2 months of your ALA with essence. I was told that essence will make it work faster and better? Is this true ? It sounds strange but I was told I should notice some improvement within a month. I was also informed by others that I can order this on Amazon. Is this true or not ? Please respond as I have in the past requested info and haven’t received any feedback. I have been suffering from neuropathy for at least 10 yrs. I am prediabetic and my Dr. Is from the Mass General in Boston who I Just got rid of because he is worthless. He did nothing for me for 20 yrs.Stay away from Anthony Granfone in Boston. Please respond to my request. Al DePierro
I was told that I should take 2 capsules for breakfast and 3 essence, then lunch 2 capsules of ALA then dinner 3 capsules of essence. That’s atotal of 10 capsules a day. Is that correct ? Sounds like a lot. Please inform.
My understanding was that R ALA is very unstable…..thus….S ALA is added for longer stability….. now I am learning that R ALA is best…..it is so frustrating that there is so much misinformation to make sense out off. Thank you for this video 😊
Hi Danuse. I know it's definitely enough to make your head spin. So, your understanding is correct. However, they began to learn through further research that although the 'S' enantiomer stabilized it, it could actually deactivate the activity of the natural 'R' form. Now a molecule of sodium is used to stabilize the the R-ALA. Anytime you see the word stabilized after R-ALA on the ingredient label or if it says Na R-ALA it means it's been stabilized with sodium. Hope this clears it up for you. Blessings.
@@NerveDoctors thank you for taking time to reply and further explain. I certainly got much better information from your amazing video. 🙏
Thank you so much for this very important information.
I am so glad to have found your channel, my husband has been struggling with PN for so long and we are shocked at how little his doctors actually know, my husband is on not one but four of the bad drugs you talk about, those being cymbalta, lorazepam, amitriptyline and lyrica, UGH! His doctors told him these would help him with the pain. Now, he wants to get off of them. I just looked at the ALA bottle and there is no R, so upset, just more money wasted. Thank you for all of your help, we are binge watching your videos, God bless you for your help with this.
I was looking for this exact info. Thank you soooo much. My mom is about to go buy ALA and I found this just in time. I hope she listens to me. Parents have a hard time learning from their kids. Especially when they've raised you to believe your dumb but you've known they were tripping your entire life. shame😔🥴🥰
(LOL...your comment is so on point about parents) So glad it has helped. If your mom has any questions feel free to refer her to this channel and I will gladly answer any questions for either one of you. Blessings.
@@NerveDoctors that's very kind of you . She is a very intelligent woman and almost as strong willed as I am. Age is getting on her but at 83 she is seeming like she's going to be around another 20 years. I can't imagine life without her. Hmm.
I really admire your accomplishments. I look forward to more videos and getting familiar with your work. I'm also learning for my own sake.
Thanks again! 😉
@@NerveDoctors May Allah reward you well, Doctor. I follow you from Morocco. Sorry, I don't know English. I rely on google for translation. I took alpha lipoic acid after Dr. Berg talked about it in one of his videos and advised him to take benfotiamine and tocotrionols with him, but he did not advise taking 900 mg. I am from pain strength doubled the amount. I ordered it from iherb and the pain actually stopped and I recovered and the problem came back after six months but this time the disaster happened I forgot to mention I visited the ear specialist after the dose and after the examination found that the ear crystals came out of their place and I lost my balance and after the taming session thank God it improved
Thank you very much, dear madam. Much love and appreciation to you from Morocco🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Very important information, nutritionists must look into this . Big thanks for sharing.
You're very welcome. Blessings.
Great tips. Thanks
Thank you, I am suffering so much and will give this a try!
Yes, I knew about R-alpha lipoic acid. I learned the hard way-after purchasing ALA. I’ve been taking the “R” version for a couple of months now.
Have you seen a difference?
Have you noticed any difference taking it?
what brand did you use
Hi, Karen. We are so sorry that you went through that, but we glad you were able to get the right type of R-alpha lipoic acid. Thank you for sharing with us!
I bought 2 bottles of a cheaper brand that only listed Alpha Lipoic Acid. Your video definitely surprised me! Thank you for the heads-up video. Will be purchasing your brand soon. Best regards!
Hi Claudia. I'm glad that you found our video helpful. We do not make a stand-alone R-ALA. We do however use R-ALA in our Neuropathy formula, Nuphoria cm Gold. If you're looking for a complete formula here's the website: www.healmynerves.com. If all you would like is the stand-alone R-ALA, this is the brand that I recommend: amzn.to/3Dy0PdG
We have no affiliation with this company. I recommend them because they're a good quality R-ALA and they're doing the manufacturing properly to maintain the integrity of the R-ALA. Let me know if you have any questions. Have a wonderful weekend. Blessings.
@@NerveDoctorsthis product is out of stock also a few others you recommend are out of stock to 😒🇬🇧
I did the same... I purchased two bottles of alpha lipoic acid, at a lower more affordable price. But now I'm going to return the unopened one and purchase the correct one.
Thank you for the information. It is highly appreciated
Thank you for your good advice on R APA . Many thanks
Your the BOMB DOCTOR,,YOUR THE BOMB
Thanks so much!!
just bought the S alpha lipoic acid in the store yesterday unbeknowing and just threw it in the trash Dont think they would give me a refund when i tell them it is synthetic. Wish i had seen your video yesterday, thanks for the info! New subscriber!
Hi Marcelina. If you didn't open it and have the receipt, they usually take it back. I'm so sorry you had to find out a day late but at least now you know. Here's a brand that is a good quality that I recommend. I'm in no way affiliated with this company. Here's the link: amzn.to/3Dy0PdG
And thank you so much for subscribing. Have a wonderful day. Blessings.
Thank you for that information it was very helpful
Thank you for this important information.
Such a great video, doc. Thank you so much for this. One question though, is it true that taking R-ALA can cause severe hair loss? I've read a couple of reviews from people who started to develop severe hair loss around 3 months after they began taking R-ALA.
Thanks!
You're very welcome. R-ALA does not cause hair loss. On the contrary, clinical research has shown that it can slow down a receding hairline and facilitate new hair growth by blocking enzymes that threaten our hair roots in general. Typically, what happens with hair loss is that a person has an underactive thyroid problem that has gone undetected or they are deficient in minerals and trace minerals. Thanks for the great question. Blessings.
@@NerveDoctors pltell brand name R Ala
Tks
Amazon NOW brand Alpha Lipoic Acid 600 mg free Radical Scavenger is what I have been taking. There is no R. But does the RS you speak of mean Radical Scavenger?
@@rendagolden2496 No. You clearly haven't studied organic chemistry. Read up on the meaning "levorotatory", "racemic", and "dextrorotatory" in the context of organic chemical structures. Even the racemic form is helpful but the dextrorotatary form is to be preferred.
@@NerveDoctors Vit E : INTERESTING FACT …
My hair was falling out excessively for YEARS.
Then a blood test showed super high levels of Vit E.
So I stopped taking the Vit E
and Guess What …. ?
WITHIN 4 DAYS (4 days!)
my hair stopped falling out !
(I took it for decades 🙁)
Good day Dr 🙂! This is my first time watching your video. Thanks for the info on R-ALA. I already have the synthetic one and have been taking it. My last dose was yesterday. I did purchase the R-ALA last week but the cost was under $50.00. Any suggestions on what should I do now? I gave your video a like 👍🏾. Thanks for your help 🙂!
Hi Fayth-Anna. That's a beautiful name. Yay, to getting the right form of ALA. For R-ALA you want to take 300 mg twice per day. If you have a sensitive stomach, then always take it with food or a snack, otherwise it can cause some stomach upset. If you tell me what your symptoms are I can give you better guidance. If you prefer a private forum, feel free to email me at: info@nuphoria.com with your symptoms. Tell me how long you've had it and how bad the symptoms get. Blessings. P.S....thanks so much for liking our video. It really helps us.
@@NerveDoctors thanks for replying so promptly and your sentiment re my name.
My symptoms are tingling at the top of my fingers and cold hands and feet mostly the tips. I mainly take it as an antioxidant. The brand that I purchased only have 100mg per capsules. I'm not in the 🇺🇲.
fayth there are a number of products that are the correct STABALIZED R-Lipoic Acid but like you noticed, the dosage is not enough. I have been taking this for years now and I notice a difference if I run out. I take 300mg twice a day along with l-carnitine 500 mg twice a day. I wish I could take more (studies show 600 mg as the min.) but its just too expensive. I pay about 40.00 for a 60 day supply at 600mg daily and I live in the US. I am hoping to get to a point where it is healed but I am sure it will take years (low inflammation type diet/only whole food).
@@cindy4678 thanks for sharing your journey. I haven't seen much changes so I will increase the dosage I'm taking. But as you pointed out it's way too pricey. Thanks again for sharing 🙂
@@cindy4678 where did you order it from I have a hard time finding it
No I did not know, NOW I KNOW, thanks to you. Very helpful.
Thank you Dr. Monteiro for the information- I have post Herpatic Neuralgia on my hand ( bad pain). I received my Gold Nupphoria today!! So happy. This along with intensive ATP and Acupuncture is sure to help me get back to normal! Thank you for the insight and the shipment - 2 month supply😀
Hi, Sharee Harms. I am so glad to hear that! We look forward to hearing from you and helping you on your journey!😊
I use the alpha lipoic acid and started working great within a week
Excellent! Keep up the good work!
Can I use for my osteoarthritis and muscles pain or nerve ?
