alpha lipoic acid sources

Chews-4-Health Introduction


Is this a toxic dosage of Vitamin A?


So I've designed a supplement program for clear skin that mimics and improves on the Perricone MD Skin Clear program, and one of the supplements Im taking, which is Source Naturals Skin Eternal Plus, has 12,500 IU of vitamin E where 5,000 IU is palmitate and 7,500 IU is beta-carotene. Im scared that this is a bad amount but I really dont want to stop taking this supplement. Is this a toxic amount?

I've made sure the proportions of all the other supplements were safe. Vitamin A is all Im unsure about.

If it helps heres:

My Supplement Program
It includes Carlson Super Omega-3 Fish Oils, Source Naturals Evening Primrose Oil, Twinlab Stress B-Complex Caps, Source Naturals Skin Eternal Plus(contains DMAE, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Vitamin E), as well as Nature's Way Calcium-Magnesium-Vitamin D capsules.
oops...i said vitamin e. its a. you understood anyways.

Your intake of vitamin A is well below the toxic dose that is regarded as being 25,000 IU of vitamin A per day.

Taking more than 10,000 IU per day could be regarded as overdoing it.

A pregnant woman could end up with a baby with birth defects if she takes more than about 8,000 IU of vitamin A per day so to be on the safe side it would be better if she took well below 5,000 IU per day. Taking below 2,500 IU per day would be even better.

Great omega-3 source

by Victor Crain from Noble, OK USA on 2010-04-15
Conclusions, resulting from much research, caused me to consider this product to be about the best source of omega-3 from plants. Along with the appropriate fish oils, I feel this completes my needs. The pills are a bit big, but easy enough to take.After searching for the best buy on these ALA tablets, Amazon became the icing on the cake. I got the product I was looking for at the best deal possible.


alpha lipoic acid--necessary supplement for me

by sookie jane from top of Mississippi on 2009-12-17
The endocrinologist has me on this along with umpteen other supplements. This is a great product. The price is very reasonable. Source Naturals was on the recommended list. Quick delivery, reasonable prices, and quality product. It has saved me money because I was buying at the local health store, drug stores, and grocery stores. I buy several of the Source Naturals products at one time. I save time and money.


A trial

by John G., Scoble from San Pedro, CA on 2009-07-29

great antioxidant

by Ryan C. Morris from bountiful, ut on 2009-06-27
alpha lipoic acid is by far my favorite antioxidant. the 300mg time released tablets are great, and i will never stop taking this product.


Alpha Lipotic Acid

by Robert Crusoe from Miami, FL USA on 2007-06-01
This supplement has been rated as one of the best that you can take. I have noticed a positive change in less than a week. I recommend that you take 600mg a day with food, but most important stay with it. You will lose weight and your energy level will increase two fold or more. For more information go to "Science Daily" selecting the product and check out thier comments.

Strong vinegar smell

by bobinstl from Flyover country US on 2010-08-01
Purchased this product in early 2008 and again in early 2009. The last bottle had a faint odor of acetic acid (vinegar) when opened; and over the course of a couple months the smell intensified. I ended up throwing it out. Perhaps source naturals needs better inventory control or production quality control.


poor service

by John F. Webb from San Diego, CA, USA on 2009-08-15
I ordered and paid for three bottles of this stuff, and only got one. The company never made good on this, so I stopped payment on two bottles. Very aggravating.I was happy with the product itself.


Just my experiance

by R. White from KC MO USA on 2009-03-04
I quit using this for a while thinking it didn't help. My thinking got stodgy so I ordered it again. I will say it seems to keep my mental facilities sharper.


Ok product, but have since found better

by Health Nut from Coral Gables, FL on 2008-05-14
This product is your typical Carnitine+ALA supplement, giving 1g of Carnitine and 300mg of ALA per 2 tablet dose. I thought this product was ok, i say ok because it took 4 tables for a noticeable effect. I have since found another product that delivers the ingredient in a more absorbable capsule based form, which i feel the difference off only 2 capsules. My other product also delivers 600mg of ALA per serving vs. only 300mg in this product.Also, i did not like all the binders and fillers involved in these tablets, read the label and you will find: Microcrystalline Cellulose, Stearic Acid, Modified Cellulose Gum, Magnesium Stearate, and Colloidal Silicon Dioxide.I don't think i would buy again simply because there is better on the market without all the junk, for a comparable price. Quality is my number one consideration in purchasing supplements.

Antioxidant

by Tumblewords from Northern Idaho on 2009-12-06

Description

Dietary supplement. Source Naturals R-Lipoic Acid is a natural form of the lipoic acid that your body can synthesize and safely metabolize. It may be better absorbed and more effective as an antioxidant than alpha-lipoic acid. R-lipoic acid by itself may be 10 times more effective than other forms of lipoic acid and has been called the mitochondrial antioxidant because it is a key component of mitochondrial dehydrogenase complexes, which may help to slow the natural aging process in animals. Also, animal research has shown that R-lipoic acid can increase or maintain levels of other antioxidants including CoQ10, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and glutathione, which may decline with age, more efficiently than other forms of lipoic acid (These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease). Suitable for vegetarians. Contains no yeast, dairy, egg, gluten, corn, soy or wheat. Contains no sugar, salt, preservatives, or artificial color, flavor or fragrance.

No ill effects, but no noticeable difference either

by K. Ross from Miami, FL on 2010-01-18
I think that this is a good supplement to take, and will continue doing so, though I will be switching back to Source Naturals alpha lipoic acid tablets, as I actually felt a difference in energy while taking them.


R-LIPOIC ACID

by RUSSELL BEEBE from WEST MILFORD, NJ United States on 2009-05-29
I BUY THIS PRODUCT AND HAVE USED LIPOIC ACID FOR SOMETIME, I REALLY DON'T THINK IT MAKES MUCH DIFFERENCE IN ANY HEALTH ISSUE.

Excellent quality, great price

by momsonthemac from New York, USA on 2010-09-03
I love how this supplement helps restore my 'old' energy without the jitters of caffeine, sugar, etc. It seems to have banished our senior sundown syndrome, as well. It's nice to now stay awake during the evening news. Great product, great price.


Helps w/nerve pain

by A Girl in the World from on 2009-10-19
I researched this antioxidant thoroughly before purchasing - lots of good studies out there on this. It does work, and really helps to greatly relieve tingling and burning nerve pain. I notice right away if I miss taking it. I can't recommend it enough - it makes my life much more bearable.

Description

Alpha-Lipoic Acid is a powerful antioxidant that is soluble in both fat and water. It directly recycles vitamin C and indirectly recycles vitamin E, providing additional antioxidant protection. It is also an important component in the energy production process in the cells. Alpha-lipoic acid is a coenzyme that assists in the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-coA. Acetyl-coA is the beginning point for the Krebs cycle, one of the body's main energy production cycles, which produces the high-energy molecule ATP. Alpha-lipoic acid supports the immune system and also supports healthy liver function.
