I was diagnosed with CRPS. I know the difference between alpha lipoic acid, R-alpha lipioc acid or Na-RALA. I went back and forth on buying this product because it doesn't specify if this is Na-RALA with high bioavailability or a less stabilized form, R- alpha lipoic acid. It's pretty suspect to be honest. Reading through the questions/ answers and reviews just confused me more. I threw caution to the wind and decided to try it and to be honest, without a lab test I'm still not sure. However I do believe that they have really helped the nerve pain in my foot. It's not placebo because I had no expectations. Crps can be a crippling nerve disorder so I'll take what I can get in terms of any relief. I've tried so much that hasn't helped, I'm just glad this seemingly does. Read more

This is one of those supplements that flies under the radar. I am a big supplement user for bodybuilding and find that many are useless. I have focused more recently on getting all my vitamins and minerals in order and stay away form so called testosterone boosters in general. R ala is the active more potent form of ala and I could tell the first day that this product was doing something. I had a slight hypoglycemic reaction the first day that did not return afterwards. After using now for a few weeks, I have dropped about five lbs of fat and have more energy for workouts. I lift as much as I can as a senior and have been able to do up to five complete body workouts per week lasting up to over two hours on some days. I use with l carnitine and all the vitamins and minerals as well as choline. As far as the r version and requiring some type of buffering protection to keep it active, I can only refer to this product and have not tried others. I believe it has kept its potency with no problem but have half a bottle left so will find out. I take after eating and after a workout with carbs and protein. I can definitely tell it is burning fat. I started at just under 16 percent body fat and now at 15 and closing in on 14. The price is the best for r ala and plan to re order this brand when done with first bottle. Give it a try especially for senior bodybuilding to get the most out of your food and supps. Read more
