Alpha lipoic acid is a powerful, natural antioxidant slowly becoming recognized as having some unique properties in the therapy and prevention of a broad range of diseases. In addition to being a powerful antioxidant, alpha lipoic acid helps the body use glucose, hence alpha lipoic acid's potential role in improving blood sugar control. Alpha Lipoic acid is readily absorbed from the diet or as a supplement. For more alpha lipoic acid info.

R-Alpha Lipoic Acid. R-ALA is much
more potent (2 times on average) than commonly sold synthetic lipoic acid

Using alpha lipoic acid on a regular basis
- safety issues and side effects
Alpha lipoic acid is a very popular supplement.
We
used to think that high doses were safe and beneficial, but we have had
reports of people noticing heart palpitations when the dosage
exceeded 100 mg. It can also cause alertness late into the night. However,
alpha lipoic acid is a potent water soluble and fat soluble antioxidant, plus it is
beneficial for those with high blood sugar. At this point we would not
suggest exceeding 50 mg of R alpha lipoic acid a day, and preferably we suggest
using it only 3 or 4 times a week. Alternatively, you can open a capsule
and take half a few times a week if you notice a full one being too
stimulating. We've had one report of a person on thyroid medicine getting
heart palpitations when they took R alpha lipoic acid and Synthroid the same day.
Your dose of alpha lipoic acid should be further reduced if you are taking
acetylcarnitine, acetylcysteine, or other antioxidants. There are products
on the market that have a combination of acetylcarnitine and alpha lipoic acid
in high doses and promote the products as having antiaging potential. We
think very high dosages could be counterproductive. If supplements give you shallow
sleep, that's an indication that they are too potent for you and you need
to reduce the dosages.

Alpha lipoic acid questions
Q. The use of alpha lipoic acid for nerve pain as a result of diabetic
neuropathy, does this apply to nerve pain resulting from surgery. My wife had
open heart bypass surgery and they harvested veins from the calf of one leg.
Immediately after the surgery, she started having nerve pain from the knee to
the foot in that leg. Doctors only seem to recommend various drugs such as
Neurontin and she is highly allergic to every drug they have recommended.
A. We have not seen research on nerve pain after surgery and the
use of alpha lipoic acid.
Q. Is the use of
alpha lipoic acid facial cream helpful?
I've been thinking about buying a skin
care product with alpha lipoic acid for wrinkle improvement.
A. There have been a few studies that showed the use of
alpha lipoic acid facial cream was beneficial to skin
tissue and perhaps may help with wrinkles. Alpha lipoic acid lotion and cream
are available on the internet for sale.
Q. Does alpha lipoic acid help liver function or
hurt the liver?
A. We have not come across much information on the influence of
alpha lipoic acid in liver health.
Q. Can alpha lipoic acid be used together with
Carnitine 500 supplement? What about alpha lipoic acid and alcar?
A. Yes as long as the dosage of alpha lipoic acid and carnitine are
kept low. Yes to the second question, also. ALCAR stands for acetyl-l-carnitine.
Q. What is the right dosage of alpha lipoic acid
and diabetic neuropathy?
A. The right dosage of alpha lipoic acid for diabetic neuropathy is
still being reviewed. For the time being, a dosage of 50 mg R alpha lipoic acid
seems a reasonable and cautious approach to treating diabetic neuropathy.
Q. Is alpha lipoic acid liquid better than an
alpha lipoic capsule?
A. We don't see the advantage to alpha lipoic acid liquid over a
tablet or capsule.
Q. Does oral alpha lipoic acid cure acne? What
about applying topical alpha lipoic acid cream on an
acne scar?
A. We doubt orally taken alpha lipoic acid has much of an influence on acne.
We have not seen research with topical alpha lipoic acid cream as a treatment for acne
scars.
Q. I just started using R alpha Lipoic Acid and
the dosage directions indicate to take 1 or 2 capsules of 50 mg in the morning
with breakfast. However, in reading the material at another web site, I find the
recommended dose is never more than 50mg or one capsule and sometimes less. I am
not diabetic but do have the symptoms of neuropathy in my feet and lower legs. I
have suffered from gout off and on and attribute these symptoms to the effects
of those gout attacks. Can you clear this up for me?
A. There are no set guidelines regarding alpha lipoic acid dosage.
Some people tolerate 50 mg or 100 mg a day while others find these dosages too
stimulating and prefer lower amounts. We prefer people not use alpha lipoic acid
more than 50 mg a few times a week unless when this supplement is being used for
a particular medical condition and under medical supervision. Heart rhythm
problems have been reported on high dosages.
