Great product

Love this product, with one exception:I don't need 600 mg. 400 seems to be perfect. i bought this product because i have neuropathy and pre-diabetes. i was using a combination of chromium and benfothiame and rhodelia rosea to up control these effects of these conditions. those products worked great, but I wanted a away to not have to buy and take so many supplements. I am a research addict on everything I take, so I found info about alpha lipoic acid and how 600-1200mg a day has been lab tested to successfully resolve the effects of these conditions. a lot of the blogs said to start out with low dosages like 100 mg and add in more till you get to the level that best suites you. I couldn't find a product as pure as this one, without fillers which also had the "R" factor. So I have had to divide the capsules in 3rd's (a pain) and I take 1/3 in morning and 1/3 at night. Tastes nasty and causes me to choke, unless I swallow it with lots of water. This great product in this inconvenience size, and having to deal with this process of dividing it, is why it didn't get 5 stars. However with that said, I gave it 4 stars for it's effectiveness. The purity of it with the "R" factor, must be powerful. No neopathy pain, feeling in toes is returning fully, blood sugar spikes are greatly diminishing, fatigue gone, resting all night for about 7 hours without waking up, feeling less anxious and aggitated, much more calm. Last night I came across info about sulfur and the blood brain barrier and the loss of sulfur in our diets and how adhd, alzheimers, dementia and autism is being treated with sulfur and profound effects. So, I looked again at alpha lipoic acid (ala), because that sulfur sounded like it could be in ala. Amazed to find out one of the main 5 supplements ways to get sulfur is (ala). That's when I realized that my brain fog clearing up was from the sulfur in the ala. I would recommend this product to anyone because of it's purity and effectiveness. But, you must find a way to divide this product into small doses. ALA is a very powerful anti-oxidant and it will remove minerals from your body like magnesium and thiamine. Make sure you are either supplementing with magnesium and thiamine or eating a diet rich in these vitamins and minerals. I personally will buy this product again, while asking Simply Nature to come up with a lower dosage. i wasn't paid, nor did I get a free sample of this product. I bought it from Amazon and have been using it over a week. Hope this helps someone decide to try it. NOTE: if you have blood sugar problems-take with food. This is a powerful product and it will lower your blood sugar. I noticed severe drops in blood sugar when I took this on empty stomach.

Research from a combination of lab, animal, and human studies has shown that the antioxidant properties of alpha-lipoic acid may lower several heart disease risk factors.Antioxidant properties allow alpha-lipoic acid to neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress, which is linked to damage that can increase heart disease risk. Free radicals cause harmful chemical reactions that can damage cells, making it harder for the body to fight off infections. They also damage organs and tissues. It has been shown to improve endothelial (a thin membrane that lines the inside of the heart and blood vessels) dysfunction — a condition in which blood vessels cannot dilate properly, which also raises the risks of heart attack and stroke.Alpha-lipoic acid has been shown to lower several markers of inflammation. In a scientific analysis, alpha-lipoic acid significantly lowered levels of the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein (CRP) in adults with high levels of CRP. Chronic inflammation is linked to several diseases:cancerdiabetesheart diseasebowel diseasesautoimmune disease (rheumatoid arthritis)There is strong evidence that alpha-lipoic acid can improve insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is when cells in your muscles, fat, and liver don't respond well to insulin and can't easily take up glucose from your blood. As a result, your pancreas makes more insulin to help glucose enter your cells. Studies also found that alpha-lipoic acid supplements can help with neuropathic nerve damage caused by diabetes or cancer.Further information and research is available in NHS and Pub Med websites.

Wife takes this as a supplement.

Working fine

Works but I have to do further research on interactions with my current meds

I want to start by saying I am not a health professional and Im only sharing my experience. I was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy approximately 2-3 years ago. After trying a few medications, Lyrica 150mg, 2x a day gave me the most relief but also came with weight gain. I started researching more natural ways and came across this particular product. I started taking it (at the dosage on the bottle) while continuing Lyrica but didn't really feel a difference (please continue to read).I had an appt scheduled with my doctor where I would have not had a pause with my medication and then 2 days prior I got a call that I needed to reschedule because of an emergency. The appt wasnt until 4 weeks later and I explained that I will be in so much pain without the Lyrica. Im explaining all of this because it may help someone who feels hopeless in a similar situation.I started researching ALA again and read for Neuropathy doses between 600mg to 1800mg has been found to help (depending on person) so I started increasing how many I take per day. Now, Im still without Lyrica because my appt isn't until next week, I actually loss 5 pounds and my neuropathy symptoms are tolerable.I cannot speak for anyone else but this product has helped me even when my own doctor didn't.
