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.

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

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.

@bellakim9404 3 жыл бұрын

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.

I stopped doing these things and I have seen a difference .

@JamieYAYme 3 жыл бұрын

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)
