I know this is an old video, but I wish doctors would also mention the possible side effects of taking any supplements. ALA is known to decrease glucose (one of the reasons these are prescribed to people with neuropathy caused by diabetes), decrease B1, and it affects the thyroid (so make sure you don't have thyroid issues). It goes unsaid that you should always consult with a physician prior to taking any medication/supplements. I have peripheral neuropathy and it's helping me with the pain and recovery, but I make sure I constantly check my blood to keep everything balanced. I hope this helps someone out there.
Yes, except your general Dr wouldn't know anything about this or other suppls. Mine sure different. Anywhere you look up side effects for Lipoic Acid you'll see that low blood sugar side effect. Also it can affect those taking synthroid so I'm concerned about this. I'm having sinus pain and tinnitus taking it, I'm only on day 2.
TY I did not know any of this. Was meant for me to see this today, as I've been doing research on the brands & going to get this supplement today, well, I'm not getting this now I'm afraid to. TY Have a Blessed day .
I mentioned alpha lipoic acid to my neurologist last week he said he never heard of it and do nothing about it. omg yet I've been taking it a year now and have improvement with feet pain .
What is the most efficient dosing for alpha lipoic acid? 200 mg, three times daily? 300 mg, two times daily? 300 mg, three times daily? I have small fiber neuropathy from a car accident.
Take ALA an empty stomach an hour before eating. The supplement is better absorbed in the body when it doesn't have to compete with food. Otherwise you're losing a large percentage of the positive effects. I use stabilized ALA in the R form.
Lots of skin care is only directed one 1-3 issues. There is literally nothing that cures it all. You need a full routine that uses several products that tackle the issues you have.
@@sncnutrition7118 I think that's the brand maybe that I used to buy and my skin was gorgeous.. I also did the ascorbyl palmitate almost every day same thing with the dmaa and the ALA... and I would do about a tablespoon of cod liver oil almost every day and I needed no skin makeup at all and everybody said my skin was radiant.... I stopped doing these things and I have seen a difference . But no places near me seem to sell ascorbyl palmitate anymore.... they'll claim it's because it wasn't selling.... well they don't advertise it
@@gardensofthegods google my friend. It works for any and all questions. Took me maybe 15 seconds to get the name Hidradenitis suppurativa and apparently it's when you get lumps in your pits and groin. I've been subject to this.
Anything with oxidizing ingredients like vitamin c will eventually oxidize, which means you need to use your products within at least 6 months of opening. For instance, drunk elephant has a c firma serum that is famous for oxidizing FAST and turns from a yellow to orange then brown. I actually had to return some recently because I got it off eBay (eBay sellers aren't supposed to sell used stuff but this lady swears it leaked and it's new but stuff was brown)

The majority of physicians, medical doctors, General practitioners know nothing or next to nothing about supplements or nutrition.

Beautifully said!!!
I started taking ALA 4 years ago at 41 and my face is smoother and clearer now at 45.
I had terrible acné this man’s products was the beginning of my recovery

I’m suffering from diabetes neuropathy (burning feet syndrome), did this medication help you?
Very informative video! 👏Thank you!
Well done. Concise and to the point.
love your products
I take it occasionally, worried about the B1 n thyroid aspect 🤷🏻♂️

Does Lipoic Acid have antihistamine properties or something?? It's causing me sinus pain and tinnitus.
I have had tinnitus as well since starting ALA. I am going to stop and see if the tinnitus tops. Thank you for your comment. Best of luck!

Hello sir does it helps fr skin complexion ...in how many months
Thank you.
My face broke out into white pustules, oil oozing from my face. I stopped taking it.
My eyebrows disappeared once I started taking it it happened fast I immediately stopped
Can you take colligan with this ?
I don't see why not. Ingesting collagen doesn't affect skin care.
i took it twice, and bot times i was sick as a dog.. throwing up and coming out both ends.. i had to get rid of it
How many months should be take
Thanks
Hmmmm?? Oxidative stress vs Alpha lipoic acid...only goes after scars & wrinkles...?

Which form of ALA is best for topical application?
Good question. I'm looking for the answer as well. The most bio available form for internal consumption is R-ALA.
