About the Product
  • Alpha-lipoic acid is a naturally occurring vitamin-like nutrient that has been intensely investigated as a beneficial agent for a variety of bodily functions involving the nervous, cardiovascular, immune, and detoxification system.
  • It is produced in small amounts in the liver and other body tissues, where it is needed by enzymes to catalyze numerous essential chemical reactions in the body.
  • ALA is essential inside the mitochondria of cells, where it is needed to metabolize glucose and direct calories into energy production
  • ALA is considered to be a multimodal supplement because, aside from its enzymatic role in energy production, it acts by multiple mechanisms and displays diverse health-enhancing and antioxidant properties

5.0 out of 5 starsIf you have a minute, I'll explain why THIS is the Lipoic Acid you want...
By Steve Gibson on October 23, 2010
If you're into Lipoic Acid, this is the one you want. (And I sure think you're right to be into it!)

First: My "motivation" for taking the time to write this review -- to head-off the snarky folks who want to believe that people always have ulterior motives -- look me up on Google or Wikipedia or follow my review links and you'll find that I'm just a techie computer nerd with an interest in health, fitness and longevity who likes to get to the bottom of things. I'm writing this for one reason only: I have done the (extensive) research, and this is *the* BEST form of Lipoic Acid available. I want it to continue being available so that *I* can order and take it ... and so that you can too.

The key term is "BioEnhanced" (which is itself, of course, a nonsense marketing phrase) but the key is that it is the trademark of GeroNova Research of Carson City, Nevada. And THEY are a small group of scientists who are totally into lipoic acid and have figured out how to make the best stuff possible. GeroNova produces the raw material which Doctor's Best, of San Clemente, California, then encapsulates, packages, and retails it so that we can purchase it here.

(Note that most of the Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) on the market is made in China. Enough said.)

There are essentially four types of Lipoic Acid on the market today:

Regular ALA (racemic-ALA) - Molecules that are non-symmetrical can also be made in a mirror image of themselves. In the case of lipoic acid, the two mirror images are labeled R- and S-. Our bodies only synthesize and use the R- version, but when big vats of ALA are stirred up synthetically both the R- and S- versions are produced in about equal measure.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsAmazing stuff
By Sandra V. Ohlson on August 29, 2012
Verified Purchase
I purchased this for control of peripheral neuropathy. It worked well for that as my feet are now almost pain free....BUT some added benefits I was not counting on. I have been taking this for 4 months now.

1. Blood glucose control. Daily fasting glucose dropped at least 10-15 mg/dcl and am now running around 90 daily as opposed to 110-115.

2. My skin! I did not expect this! I didn't even think about this when I purchased this because I was focusing on the misery of my feet....but suddenly noted after probably 2 months of taking it that the RED sun damage on my arms, neck and legs is GONE!. And my brown ones have greatly faded! My skin easily looks 10 years younger. No effect on wrinkling, just coloration.

If I can afford it, I will probably take this for life. I am an RN and usually skeptical about herbal or vitamin products, and will also throw in that when I temporarily ran out of this I bought some regular ( non-R) at CVS that did not work at all. I will update this review in 6 months or so

5.0 out of 5 starsI use it for blood sugar/carb control
By Marco Polo "TonyP" on November 27, 2011
Verified Purchase
I'm not a scientist or a researcher so if you're looking for science other reviewers have that covered. However, I am someone who wanted to lose weight and knew that keeping blood sugar stable is a huge factor in doing so. I was taking one pill 15 minutes before each meal and was maintaining a weight loss of 2-3 lbs a week (with minimal exercise due to injury)

I stopped taking it for two weeks -- its the only thing I changed and I ended up *gaining* weight -- I started taking it again and the weight came right back off.

Your mileage may vary, but for me this supplement really delivers (along with all the antioxidant benefits!)

5.0 out of 5 starsNot just for making your pee more expensive
By G. Rossi on July 30, 2013
Verified Purchase
I've tried a few different brands and types of ALA and this is by far the best one that I have ever encountered and at a very good price especially if you subscribe.
ALA is an interesting vitamin in that it comes in a variety of types even though most don't actually label which type you are getting. When traditional ALA is made synthetically it is a 50/50 blend of two different types of ALA ( R and S types). These types are mirror images of each other molecularly but, studies have shown that only the R type is actually used by the body though so most ALA supplements are actually only 50% effective and the S type is just turned into expensive pee.
Some companies will filter out the R type which is better but even then most of the ALA that you take cannot be absorbed by the body. This is why this brand uses Sodium (Chemical symbol Na) to bond to the ALA which then lets the body absorb 250% more and let it actually get into the blood stream. So this product is actually chemically 5 times as effective as a R & S blend and 2.5 times more effective than an R-ALA vitamin. Search on PubMed or other medical journal sites and you'll find mountains of actual clinical evidence touting NA-R-ALA for many different reasons.
I've been taking it very regularly since 12/2013 and its antioxident effects definitely have helped me stay and feel healthy even though everyone else was getting sick and it also was a clear trigger in helping me lose weight by stabilizing blood sugar levels.
At first it did give me pretty bad stomach aches until I got use to it and now I can easily take it with no discomfort even without food.
