Sundown Alpha Lipoic Acid 600mgm, 60 Count

I found out about Alpha Lipoic Acid, ALA, for a book on home cures by Johnny Bowden which I bought for my Kindle Fire. I had Type II diabetes with neuropathy in my feet and lower legs. My circulation itself is good but my feet felt like they were encased in crab shells and I used to tell my wife not to massage my lower legs because it was a distinctly unpleasant experience. The Bowden book recommends ALA, Chromium, Magnesiu, Cassia Cinnamon which is the kind you regularly buy in supermarkets, and a few other supplements with lesser effect. I am normally skeptical of supplements but, after taking the minium suggested dose, in the space of one hour or less, about the time it takes a couple of aspirins to kick in, a wark glow began to literally flow down my legs and into my feet. By the next dose on the second day, my feet felt normal and it was positively pleasant when I subbed my lower legs. This effect, in my seems to continuum for a food three or four weeks if I quit taking the supplement which I did to convince myself that this "miracle" cure was not a placebo effect. I worked exactly the same way. Now I have started taking it again after once again quitting do to just being lax and my legs once again feel normal or better than normal. It is interesting to note that, when I first got ALA, if was sold mainly in much lower doses but now nearly all of it seems to be sold in the 600mg dose. This dose, according to the Johnny Bowden book, was figured out by researchers so I guess the supplement companies finally got the hint. I would strong recommend the book which is available from Amazon. Before you start loading up on either Chromium or Cassia sinnamon, however, I would read the literature. Cassie can probably cause liver damage in high doses. I believe the recommended does was a half teaspoon daily. As for Chromium, a nurse I worked with in the mental hospital, the lady in charge in fact, said that Chromium had given her retinal bleeds. Since I have had retinopathy in line with neuropathy, this gave me pause. As a finely word, be careful with most supplents. Iron supplements will kill you dead in high dosages and there is no cure except a liver transplant. I took four alfalfa tablets instead of two and felt like I had doubled up on Dristan. They really act like a drug in spades. If you like alfalfa sprouts, by the way, be aware that the seeds themselves are toxic. The only downside of ALA seems to be reflux or heartburn. I take it on an empty stomach with a full glass of water and I don't lie down for at least an hour afterwards. Take it by itself and not in proximity to other drugs and supplements would be my advice. Tums cure heartburn by the way and, in conjunction with above mentioned Magnesium, are a good source of calcium. Magnesium, of course, if milk of magnesia and it has a rather pronounced laxative effect on me. In closing, I do wish capsules used real gelatin. I am not a Vegans, the snimals are already dea anway, and real gelatin does wonders for your skin and nails. Capsules of real gelatin are also easier to swallow and we know what it actually is and does.

I have had very painful and extensive Peripheral Neuropathy in my feet, hands, and more for 15 years. The pain is terrible (pain level 5 on good days) and unimaginable (9 or 10) on bad days. Without extensive drugs, i would always be at least 9. I have always followed my neurologist’s direction, but i added one of these powerful antioxidants every 12 hours. Over the years, i have been unable to obtain several of my medications for short periods of time. In most cases, my pain surged to 8-9-10 within a day or two. The absence of any one of the physician prescribed medications caused as much pain level 9-10 pain or as quickly as Alpha Lipoic Acid. I consider it essential. I have had consistent success with this brand for several years. Few other suppliers have done as well. Why Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)? When I was first dismissed from my job in 2004, I was desperate to find answers. I needed more than the standard drugs, so I embarked on extensive Web search, but could not find any promising options. Luckily, I followed a link into European medical information on Peripheral Neuropathy and found ALA to be a standard component of Peripheral Neuropathy treatment. I began it and have not stopped. (Complete disclaimers on any and all web references. I have not revisited the ALA content or the availability of other solutions. I can only recant my anecdotes.)

This has worked for me as expected.

Very nice just like advertised

I don't know if it is just that I'm getting old, working too hard and have too much stress, or have some specific condition. But increasingly for the last few years, I have felt like there is a slow burning fire in my bones and muscles and extremities. I wonder if this is what people are talking about when they talk about fibromyalgia. In any case, I've just had a dull pain throughout my body. A little bit like all of my nerves were on fire, or something. I was looking into another nutrition supplement, and came across this. I saw the description, read a lot of the reviews, and wondered if it might somehow help. Of course there is a placebo effect, and this is no blind study. But within two or three days after starting to take these everyday, that pain finally disappeared. A few weeks later, the pain came back. And I realized that I had not been taking these ALA supplements. I started taking them again, and the pain went away again. Now I take them four or five days a week, and the pain seems to consistently stay away. Again, I'm not a doctor, and I have no idea what was causing my aches and pains and the fire. But it is essentially gone now.

Good price

These are so gross. They do what they say, but man, they are hard to take and leave an aftertaste in your mouth, I took them post covid to help get my taste back. Even before I could taste food, I could taste the sour bitterness left after placing these on my tongue. They work, but you have to know, it's going to be hard to take.

I like how this makes me feel, it helped with my energy levels. It was easy to take.

It is a good product but the size of the capsule is kinda huge

Se nota la diferencia. La marca es excelente. El precio era de oferta así que esperaré a que baje. Te dan energia

La expectativa era que en 3 meses mejorará mi salud,y cumplió

Voy por mi segundo frasco después de dejarlo por tres meses reemplazándolo por otras vitaminas así que otra vez Si lo recomiendo en verdad

Llegó rápido y en buen estado
