👉 My favorite Alpha Lipoic Acid Supplement: bit.ly/34OtAl1
I want to share some information with you regarding alpha lipoic acid and its role and relationship in two different medical conditions.
In the first study, which is a meta-analysis, it was concluded that ALA supplementation among patients with metabolic diseases significantly decreased fasting glucose.
In the second study, it was found that oral treatment with thioctic acid (another name for ALA) improved symptoms of polyneuropathy without causing serious adverse events.

Effects of ALA:
1. On glucose control (blood sugar) and on lipid profile:
- meta-analysis
- improvement in glocose homeostasis levels and lipid profile
- no effect on HDL
- has effect on blood sugar regulation!!! (Helps glucose get into fell membranes)
How does it work:
- the cell membrane has a "glute-door", that needs to open in order for the glucose to enter
- the insulin attaches to the insulin receptor on the same cell. This activation signals for the door to open. Glucose enters the cell and gets converted into ATP.
- ALA improves the "door opening mechanism". If glucose does not enter cells, it stays in the blood and makes it sticky. Everything (arteries) gets coated in blood sugar (glycation). Diabetes is hard tp heal when you have high blood sugar.
- the idea is to first make blood sugar more stable.
- if ALA works for you it will bring your BS down. At the same time you should NOT use high amounts of BS medication because you may end I'm hypoglycemia (too low sugar).
Dosage:
- 600mg to 2400mg/ day
- start low
- ne monitored by doctor who understands this
2. Another study:
- neuropathy (nerve damage)
- causes:
- high BS
- metformin (drug) leads to B12, CoQ10 and folate deficiency --> CoQ10 deficiency
Advice:
- if you're on metformin, ask tp be tested for CoQ10, B12 and folate, to estimate wether you have neuropathy based on high BS and/or deficiencies
Thank you for taking the time to give us the thorough summary
Osborne did not comment on the important differences between the high quality natural R-ALA and the junk synthetic form normally sold, the S-ALA.

I am not diabetic but on low carb diet for my own good. I take 2 pills of ALA , 150 mg each everyday and it makes me feel good. Now it is important part of my diet transformation.
I take 600 twice a day for my peripheral neuropathy
@@anderander5662 ... Can you comment on your results regarding P. Neuropathy after introducing ALA?
@@georgemohr I am not a diabetic but have peripheral neuropathy in my feet due to spinal stenosis and psoriatic arthritis..... B vitamins helped as did alpha lipoic acid 600mg 2x daily. Hot soaks also help, I don't know the mechanism but perhaps it's due to increased circulation?
@@anderander5662 Did you experience any hypoglycemia symptoms from ALA?
Did you experience any hypoglycemia symptoms from ALA?
I have been type 1 diabetic insulin dependent diabetic for over 53 years now. With Alpha Lipoic Acid
I was taking 300 mg daily it has lowered my blood sugar levels and noticed it has lowered my neuropathy considerably. I have not bein taking Alpha Lipoic Acid now for about a week now my blood sugar levels are way Hi and much more neuropathy pain. I am going back on Alpha Lipoic Acid tomorrow
Dr. Peter Osborne, you explained ALA better than anyone that I have listened to. Thank you very much.
It also binds heavy metals
I am 75, 225lb weight, 5ft 11m so into the pre-diabetic area. Recently my feet have pins and needles feeling, hard to get to sleep. I had an old bottle of 600 mg Alpha Lipoic Acid. I took 2 x 600mg during the following day and still had some tingling late that evening when lying down, okay when standing, I took 3rd 600 mg (=1800/Day) at midnight, got up at 3am a few mins, back to sleep until 11AM, 8 hrs straight. Felt relaxed, even remembered my dreams, whoa, so I go with the 1800 mg/day saving the last dose at bedtime. I take no prescription drugs, so this high-dose ALA regimen should make a difference.
See my note but you are completely on the right track and I am recovered after 2 years on low carb and getting better.
Hmmm! I hope your B12 and B6 and other micronutrients are at appropriate levels. I recommend you ask your physician about this!!! For indeed, the medical industrial complex's failure to properly research and diagnose and treat diet and microbiome and sleep and vital deficiency issues (including, for example, those related to Glutathione and ALA and Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2 and Vitamin C and Magnesium and Potassium and Zinc and fiber deficiencies, as well as iatrogenic prescription medication usage, as well as relatively common genetic polymorphisms that may require special supplementation with already biologically activated forms of vitamins such as methyl B12, L5-MTHF, P5P, etc., as well as other important and underappreciated nutrigenomic considerations, etc., etc., etc.) is a major reason why psychiatric iatrogenesis is a primary contributor to the third leading cause of death in the U.S. (which is iatrogenesis in general). If the U.S. spent just a fraction of the over $40 billion each year it spends just on iatrogenic psychiatric drugs alone, for properly researching the issues discussed in this and related TH-cam presentations we would probably, Lord willing, achieve an absolute revolution in medical efficacy improvement and iatrogenesis reduction.

@@thomasstevenrothmbamd2384 interesting comment...I find very pertinent.
And your credentials are interesting too.
It seems to me that more Christians need to be bring God's wisdom into various areas of expertise. I hope you are fully engaged in these capacities as an MD, Christian Ethicist, and working to make the medical profession a tool for genuine healing rather than the cash flowing cow it is that feeds greed in so many ways while not genuinely healing the sick and diseased nearly as effectively as it could/should.
I had a crippling back accident 12 years ago, it also affected my feet with numbness, I also had tingling nerves in legs , I take Na-R alpha lipoieic acid, plus a good Magnesium Glycinate, 400mg that stopped all nerve tingling. Best stuff
I use it with taurine and MSM which help reduce absorption issues and delivery through the digestive system. Also may improve transfer across the BBB. It acts as a powerful antioxidant and stimulates mitochondrial activity and blood capacity of O2. A good candidate for treatment of long-term CO 19 issues.
i found MSM so helpful i can feel the different without it
I’ve never had an issue with hair loss on the contrary I think it has helped mine to grow
Hi. Is there a benefit to taking the R- fraction ALA? I am told it is superior and the correct form for the body.
From my research ann experience R ala is not promoted by the pharmaceuticals because of profiteering reasons R ala is not stable enough to stand on shelves so manufacturers couple it with the stable a forn unfortunately the S form which is synthetic neutralises the benefits of the highly beneficial R form
This is a great topic ALA/RLA.
Thanks again. I alternate between #ALA and #Resveratrol
People who experience 'stomach issues', with Resveratrol, can switch to ALA, and derive essentially the same anti-oxidant benefits, but without the tummy trouble.
They say that R-Lipoic acid is better absorbed and utilized. What is your opinion on that?
What did you find out about the absorption of ALA? How has it worked for you?
@@bmp713 I think anyone with mercury in their body, which is most of us, must be careful with ALA, since it can mobilize Hg into the ETC and cause problems. I have shelved ALA pending further research.
Just what I needed . Going at this from a attempt to repair glutathione production. Discovered from you Dr about b1, picking some up today. I take 600 mg ALA with my NAC , acetyl l carnitine, and ubiquinol. Is this too low a dose?
For better divide 600 into a 300 ,300 twice
Check out L-Glytamine I think it's what you need. Good to Google. WebMD can tell you if it's ok with the rest of your meds
Thank you Dr Osborne for another great video.
Thank you Dr. Peter big help!
You are welcome!
Dr had me on metformin and insulin for type 2 diabetes. Blood sugar went to 32 just once and I tossed the insulin Googled information and found Dr. Jason Fung and intermittent fasting. Saved my life. I've since replaced metformin with Berberine by Zhou. Can get at grocery LOL. That and Kudzu tincture and starch saved me. Blood sugar fasting reading reads between 93 and 125. Best ever. Still fine tuning tho LOL. And also using Alpha lipolic acid.
I started taking the Stabilized Na- R-Lipoic Acid today. The best one apparently. Will see how it works.. I have slight tingly/pain feeling in my hands and arms.. Type 1 diabetic
Can I take it with my thyroid
Pls describe the difference between S-ALA and R-ALA.
R ALA. Means real alpha lipoic acid. S ALA. Means synthetic alpha-lipoic
Anyone here experience low blood sugar from ALA if you are not diabetic?
Probably not a good idea to take ALA unless you have high blood sugar or diabetes. Your body likely makes enough on its own.
Does the S form work at all or do you have to use the much more expensive R form?
This is most important.
With so many studies on ALA and proven benefits, why is it even necessary to talk to your doctor before taking it? So the doc discourages the patient from taking ALA and have him/her continue on harmful medications?
wheni asked about using ALA for my mums diabetic neuropathy he laughed in my face so i bought it anyway and she is very pleased with the results
@@sajidkhanmahmood who laughed?
@@soaringeagle7571 the DR
@@sajidkhanmahmood Dr Berg laughed in your face?
@@soaringeagle7571 It seems your powers of deduction are lacking.
Do we have to take only the R form to see the benefits of Alpha lipoic acid or can we take the S form.? Is there a difference? Some doctors here on TH-cam advocate the R form? I’m a bit confused as a lot of the pub med studies don’t say which form is being used. Thank you for your video and your knowledge. I’m a practicing neurologist and supplementation treatment is all new to me and very open to it. Is there harm or is there any negative benefits of using a formulation that has both the S and the R form?
The s form is not true ALA. it is synthetic only the R form is the real one. I wasted so much money on the synthetic
@@debbiehickman5439 so did I! No wonder my symptoms didn’t improve. I hope Dr Osbourne updates this video to include the scam on S Alpha Lipoic Acid.
Very good info
Thoughts on ALA as part of a preworkout regimen? Taking something that lowers blood sugar doesnt sound good while lifting but the way it sends nutrients to the cells is a positive.
Awesomr; I just found out how much its halpping with omega3 and D B3+6 vitamin
Thanks and may God bless you 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you very much Doctor Osborne I think I am going to try to increase to
400 mg 500 mg 600 mg daily instead of 300 mg daily of Alpha Lipoic Acid
Ala, lowers thyroid hormone, is this a serious concern?
Does Alpha Lipoic Acid cause acid reflux & hair loss??? Quite a number of people have commented on it in medical reviews.
I sure don’t have that experience. However I take a good amount of well researched supplements. AlA is one looking into. Try it you’ll like it.
@@4406bbldb 👏🏻🙌🏻👍🏻
Just taken for past few months and felt something like that, although only taking 300-600 per day.....
Serms to be causing heart palpitations right after i take it. Anyone else having this issue??
Very informative
So is this ALA good for Blood Sugar to bring it back to normal?
ALA mimics insulin so insulin doesn't need to work as hard. So yeah.
Make sure to take R-ALA
And for neuropathy peripheral??
Hi dr.Peter....I am so glad when I saw this topic about ALA. I was searching about this info for a couple of days...I have a patient who struggles with insulin resistent. She has done Intermittent fasting for some months and her Ab1c and blood glucose has decreased and is already normal now, but I found out that her fasting insulin is still high.... She is on no diabetic medication yet but should I give her ALA in this case to help decrease her fasting insulin? Please advice dr.Peter..thanks
Good question, if Dr. Osborne doesn’t answer you can call LifeExtentions @ 800-226-2370 they have doctors and pharmacists on staff to answer any questions about supplements and it’s free for everyone to call. 👍🏼
I heard that you can take Benfothiamine ( fat soluable) with ALA and it works well
Possibly, but you might consider measuring her vitamin D, chromium, magnesium, and zinc levels, as these nutrients can affect insulin when low.
@@tinai2744 Yes it helped me.
@@DrOsborne
May I ask why people with mercury filling are not supposed to take ALA ?
Appreciate your help 🙏😊
Sir is ALA is contradict in pregnancy?
Will ALA help with numbness caused by surgery?
Yes. Good for peripheral neuropathy.
Is this the active form R-ALA or S-ALA?
R-ALA is better n more naturally suitable to human body.
Make sure you take R-ALA
Is the Alpha Max brand, contain the R formula?
Yes it does.
What if you already have a injury too one’s left arm and the neuropathy with the nerve are injured already, so when I did an over eating of sugar! and the doctor put me on diabetic medication? (“When all I had too do is not over do it on the sugar? “)
It does reduce blood sugar, but very little. We're talking only a few points.
It will also upset your stomach.
R-lipoic acid is prescription in Europe. It might help a little more, but not much.
This info is at least twenty years old.
Lowering a few points could mean a lot for some people.
ALA WILL CHELATE HEAVY METALS
I understand it has a short lifespan in your system. It sounds like people using is specifically for chelation are taking smaller amounts at short intervals throughoit the day and night.
