We Like Vitamins Alpha Lipoic Acid 600mg Capsules - 100 Servings - Alpha Lipoic Acid Capsules Helps Support Joint Health and Antioxidant Health Along with Free Radical Protection

A neurologist recommended this to help with my diabetic neuropathy foot pain. I take it in the evenings and it helps tremendously with foot pains and cramping during the night. This works as good as the brand I first bought for much more money at Walgreens. It has also helped a friend who suffers from plantar fasciitis.

I was just told by my doctor to start taking Alpha Lipoic Acid for a condition I am suffering from. When I went to the pharmacy to get some I was flabbergasted by the high price they were charging. Doctors do not understand people on limited funds. There was no way I was going to pay that price. I did not give up. I surfed the net and found "We Like Vitamins". They provide a very high quality product for an extremely reasonable price. They made my day and have helped my overall life with their products! Thank you "We Like Vitamins"!

Twelve years ago I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. The reason I mention that fact is because of the side affects associated with that ailment. The first thing that happened was I became unable to exercise properly. Before the diagnosis I was running four times a week and at least twice a week in the gym weight training. It took about two years before I was forced to give up all exercise and shortly after began gaining weight. A lot of weight. Fortunately I hooked up with a nutritionist and learned to eat less and healthier. Unfortunately, not before I was diagnosed with Diabetes and was placed on Insulin. The second complication was Spinal Stenosis which caused quite a bit of pain. I ended up calling the number you see advertised on TV and went with not one but two so called non invasive surgeries. The end result was the surgeries didn't work and the only other option other than Opioids, was Steroid injections which my body rejected and caused the Diabetes to go out of control. As everyone now knows Opioid medication isn't the answer either and was placed on a well thought out NSAID therapy. For those who don't know what that isNonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Aspirin being the most common. I was fortunate to have this medicine work and the pain relief was pretty good but on occasion had the Opioids as back up. Just about two years ago my doctor of over thirty years retired and I found a new physician who was sympathetic to my pain. After a full physical and many blood tests as well as a consult with a Pain Management group he accepted me into his practice. The first thing he did was to take away the NSAID medication as my blood work came back showing kidney failure. Not more than a month past when I awoke with a new problem. My feet and fingers felt like they were on fire and became numb some of the time. Diagnosis wasDiabetic Peripheral Neuropathy and it seemed as it was getting worse every day. Another Pain Management consult and I was placed on Lyrica. The starting dose was 150 Mg and after a few months was increased to 300 Mg. The pain didn't go away completely but was greatly reduced. Things certainly were getting better. I felt so well I was actually looking forward to waking up and planning a full day of activities. What I didn't recognize was the amount of sleep I was getting, the heavy weight gain and the amount of tears running down my face and for no reason. My daughter did notice something not right and contacted my doctor who immediately brought me in and of course reduced the Lyrica dosage until I was completely off the medication. It didn't take long before the pain came back. So now I have spinal pain and Neuropathy pain. On the next office visit, three months later, the doctor's Physician Assistant sat with me and we chatted about the possibility of a complete new approach to helping with the pain. The minute she said " Vitamin Therapy " I chuckled but she wasn't laughing with me. It's called Holistic Medicine she told me. Healing that considers the whole person. Body, mind, spirit and wellness. A proper balance in life. Now I'm just about seventy years old and as the saying goes, you can't teach an old dog new tricks, was pretty much my philosophy. So after some additional research on her end and some understanding on my end we discussed a treatment of Alpha Lipoic Acid and a Vitamin B- Complex. . Not available in the States as prescription it is available at Vitamin specialty stores and drug stores and of course here at Amazon. On June 28th I received a bottle of 600 Mg Alpha Lipoic Acid and a bottle of Nature Made Super B Complex. The B Complex was horrible smelling and made me gag but the Alpha Lipoic Acid had no odor nor taste and being a capsule very easy to swallow. Now the dosage recommended by the Manufacturer is 600 Mg but the Physician's Assistant started me on 1200 Mg. Its been just over two weeks now and I can honestly state there is improvement in the foot and finger pain. It's not completely gone but it definitely has been reduced. The plan now is to see how much further the pain can be reduced. If and once the pain is eliminated the dosage will be reduced to 600 Mg. What has surprised me more is the almost elimination of spinal pain. It's funny how that worked. It sort of crept up on me. I was so involved with the foot and finger pain I really didn't recognize the back pain was reduced. It was while sitting in front of my computer for over three hours without too much discomfort I became aware. I would usually be looking to stretch out after about an hour. It is definitely helping.Now I'm not going to state the supplement will be helpful to everyone. Medicine, not prescribed nor supplement, works that way. There is also the fact that I have just started using this supplement. I'm hoping for complete elimination of all pain but I'm very acceptive to what it has brought so far. Soon after I started writing this review I began my independent research of The Alpha Lipoic Acid. The facts are quite interesting. This treatment has been very popular in Europe. Germany, England and France are still investigating the use of the supplement. In England it's the first treatment physicians turn to for not only Diabetic pain but as a treatment for lower back pain, Dementia, control of sugar levels in Diabetes and other ailments. I would suggest anyone considering the use of the supplement to do their own research. There is so much available. I will keep updating this review on a regular basis. I am hoping for complete elimination to all my pain but the results so far excellent.This review was written without any financial considerations. A free sample nor discount was received. Full Amazon retail was paid.

I use this supplement every day - at the advice of my neurologist. It helps neuropathy so much, and I'm unable to take the medications usually given for the condition - as they give me terrible side effects. This is the brand that seems to be most effective for me and the price is unbeatable. It came quickly and I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase. I'll be ordering regularly.

A doctor I work with told me about this vitamin because I have been suffering with burning in my foot. I had an injury back in November 2018. It has been a very long road. I have rheumatoid arthritis and take only natural medicines for it. I stepped on a rock in the arch of my foot and a week later I could not bear weight on my heel without crying in pain. I wore a Cam Walker and was over that but I was not getting better. Ice, elevation, rest...nothing made a difference. I've been taking ALA for one week now. 1200 mg to start and then back to 600 mg daily. Today, I feel better. Not 100% but nothing like I had been feeling. I will update my progress in a month. I am very hopeful that I will continue to get better and do it with natural medicines. I am way too young to let rheumatoid arthritis get the best of me!

The add says this product is R- Alph Lipoic Acid, but there is no R on the bottle lable. There is a distinct difference and better effects in R-AlphaLipoic Acid!!!!

Combined with Acetyl L- Carnitine I swear by this product. I take two capsules a day but honestly could probably do with just one as I've done much research on dosage. You must take it faithfully to experience it's effectiveness. I have more mental clarity and find my memory improved greatly in the past year I've been taking it. Great brand. Have done my research on the manufacturing and testing. Great price, great product and will continue to purchase.

Somebody introduced me to this company and advised that I combine their Alpha lipoic acid with berberine.At that time my sugar was uncontrollable even with the use of insulin.Thank God, I listened and tried the combination as this was not the first time I used berberine and alpha lipoic acid together. I previously used Berberine from another company which was counterproductive, my blood sugar went up instead of coming down!I used the combination from this company and my blood sugar number came down from 300+ to 100+ without insulin. I just ordered two more of their products. If there is someone out there who needs truthful product combination, I hereby vouch for this company. And to the manufacturers in this company, please keep doing the good work - you rescued me from big blood problem.
