Caution is good to exercise in taking supplements especially because if you don't have the right trace minerals or vitamins the body needs to process some of these enzyme-supplements it's bound to give you some side effect. In the case of NAC, molybdenum is needed by the body to effectively produce or utilize it. So it pays to investigate what nutrients are needed for a supplement to work... Personally I think that one should battle inflammation first with vitamin c, load up on multivitamins and trace minerals before moving onto the enzymatic supplements. I believe that if doctor were to investigate a little further he would find a similar thread running in the 3 patients that came calling. Its possible their B vitamins were completely gone from years of carbohydrate abuse... I must commend you Sir for being humane at least, cos most doctors are waiting to mock you for failure with supplements but we'll appreciate a deeper analysis of the blood work of the persons reporting some failure cos thats the real cautionary tale.
you have to watch what supplements you take. natural food compounds (ie a whole food) is the best for your body because you can upset your system if you take separate man made supplements. look more towards minerals and nature derived substances like ALA (r type), tumeric, magnesium, copper (very important. best type is mytosynergy), iodine, trace minerals, potassium, calcium, zinc etc.
Not informed at all!! Look up Dr Bert Burkson! The man has been working with ALA since 1977. Information and real education will set you free. The Medical Industry doesn't want the real information out because all they care about is profit and keeping people sick and on a leash their whole life long!
Also, just a note. I have been taking a good quality B complex and Benfotiamine (thiamine - B1) and also B 12 drops for several years. So my B's are not depleted.
If the product you are using doesn’t specifically state it is R type, then it’s the S type or a combination of both. If it’s cheap (I.e. Inexpensive), it’s very likely it is the S type. The R type is considerably more expensive to purchase.
This video didn't cover what type of ALA was causing this complication. I just ordered R-ALA 2 days ago. Now I'm concerned about this possible side effect.
Hey. I really appreciate this. I've been taking 600mg r alpha lipoic acid lately and have been having these weird low blood sugar crashes when I've never had the likes before. Have I damaged my body now and caused an autoimmune problem? Is just stoping the ala going to cure it? Thanks for your advice.
I experienced hypoglycaemic symptoms by taking ALA only the very first couple of times. So I reduced the dosage by spitting it in half, 250 mg twice a day with food. Increased to full dosage (500mg) 1x day after some weeks. I’ve been taking it for months now, alongside a multivitamin. No problems at all.
Every time I have taken Alpha Lipoic Acid I would get a sense of confusion and severe headache. I just recently Googled my symptoms and my suspicion it was connected to ALA. Thats when I found out this is most likely what was causing my issues. Too bad though because the reason I tried it in the first place was to help with my neuropathy.
i’ve been taking 600 mg of alpha lipoic acid for close to 30 years I never heard about the side effects but I experience hypoglycemic affects every couple of months and I had no explanation for it. You now have me wondering if it’s because of the alpha lipoic acid. mine doesn’t state if it is R or S.
Which form are we talking about? because apparently S-Lipoic Acid inhibits Alpha Lipoic Acid, while R-lipoic Acid does not. the one most people buy not knowing is the cheaper version the S one so I have this hunch that's the problem that might be causing this insulin antibody reaction but I'm not an expert so just a thought.
Never Take over 600 mg or even 300 mg of R-ALA always start of on the lowest dose say 100 mg and see if you tolerate it and slowly build up if you have to open up a capsule and dump some out if you bought a higher dose Trust Me you need to start off on a low dosage or you may feel very odd and require a trip the the hospital or at least feel like you might which happened to me I felt terrible when I took 300 mg at once. Now I dump out over 1/2 leaving me about 100 mg and that seems to be the sweet spot for me
i'm sorry could you please explain how alpha lipoic acid creates these auto antibodies. You told us it does, but how? what is the mechanism here? Thank you
I use glucose meter often to see any changes in behavior. I am sure if something ends up spiking my blood sugar through hyper glycemia , my readings will tell. Agreed we can't measure insulin but there will be some deviation from the normal patterns.
You should mention type of ALA you are considering since other than R-ALA the other forms are harmfull. I think some studies also does not consider this.
So, if I am fasting, say 48 hours, and a normal reading can be 3.6mmol/L to 3.3 mmol/L your saying it could drop even further in that time when the glucose is already low? If you are using keto to keep glucose low for cancer, Alpha lipoic acid may drop the glucose levels, but if the insulin auto antibodies are made, and they attach to insulin, and its no longer insulin, and the glucose increases because it does not bind on to the receptors, It allowes your tumor to take up that extra glucose and fuel the tumor, so of one step back and two steps for the tumor?
It’s absolutely a rare occurrence that insuline antibodies are produced with ALA. 6:24 However, I would generally not recommend taking it without food, as I’ve experienced myself hypoglycaemic symptoms in such a situation.
I started taking this to see if it would help with my chronic fatigue. My initial thinking was to help with some possible mitochondria dysfunction. Is it normal to get that kind of "die off" feeling from using it? And if it is... How long should it last before I question whether I should continue using it or not?
Everybody keep talking about Alpha-Lipoic Acid..why is there so little information on instead recommending R-Lipoic Acid. Supposedly it's alot more effective.
@@ibperson7765 I've seen some people write that it isn't any more potent...I'm no ALA brainiac but honestly, I don't think alot people really know what they're talking about...they just spout out info that they've seen others say/write.
@@pe6921 Yeah. Even then if you conclude the person is well-versed in the research than might be ok. But Ive certainly been fooled before. I can check, but it’s a lot of work. At a minimum, normal ALA is a good thing. r-ALA might be better or much better. But I havent yet seen or heard that definitively. The only Im convinced of is that there are reasons to think so, but bodies are complicated. Lemme know if you learn anything please. Particularly unclear issue
R alpha lipoic acid is best...it's natural source. S alpha lipoic acid is synthetic, and RS alpha lipoic acid is a 50/50 combo of real/natural and synthetic. Eo, you can think of R alpha lipoic acid as "Real" R for real, and S for Synthetic. Synthetic is no good, 5050 split also no good because the synthetic portion blocks the real portion from working, if your bottle doesn't say R or S or RS before the alpha lipoic acid title, then it's most likely synthetic, but check the back label ingredient listing to be sure.

Well, the problem is easily solved or avoidable if alpha lipoic acid is taken on an empty stomach as directed by everyone who recommends it to treat neuropathy.

I don’t know how much literature there is on this, but a lot of people online say that alpha lipoid acid can transport heavy metals, such as mercury, into the brain. I think the idea is that it can grab onto heavy metals that otherwise wouldn’t make it through the bbb and and bring them through. Then being that alpha lipoid acid has a relatively short half-life, it can degrade and drop the heavy metal in the brain, causing problems. I have no idea if any of that is substantiated or even makes sense to those that have a better understanding of the physiology. Though being that I have taken alpha lipoid acid daily for a long time, I am kinda worried about this and hope that it’s nonsense. Do you have any insight into this?
I'm worried about this too but does it sound worse than it actually is. I mean i can see a great deal of people taking this and if it was that dangerous Amazon and the like wouldn't sell it surely? Although this world we live in is fast turning into an episode of 'Black Mirror' so it wouldn't surprise me to be honest.
I've been taking ALA for many years. I'm not worried about it, it's an amazing supplement, it's a powerful antioxidant and has really helped with my neuropathy. Davide Sinclair the world renowned biologist who is a professor of genetics takes it every day. I did see one case on youtube of a woman coming down with sickness due to metal toxicity after taking ALA within a short period of time of taking it, She made some changes and was fine afterwards. I'm sure by now we would have felt something going wrong, as for me, I will continue taking it off and on.
I'm doing a treatment using ALA to remove mercury. The idea is that you dose on the half-life, so take some every 3 hours. That way the mercury that is dropped by the decayed ALA is then picked up by the new dose and not left in the brain or other organs. Taking it only once a day can definitely cause a daily redistribution of metals within the body, but most people are not metal toxic and don't experience negative effects.
