What are the pros and cons of taking Alpha Lipoic Acid and what is the best way to take it-as in dosage and?

combined with what other supplements?

What it does?

Alpha-lipoic acid affects nearly every cell in the body. It assists all of the B vitamins — including thiamin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, and niacin — in converting carbohydrates, protein, and fats found in foods into energy the body can store and later use. Alpha-lipoic acid is a cell-protecting antioxidant that may help the body recycle other antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, boosting their potency. Thanks to its unique chemical properties, alpha-lipoic acid is easily absorbed by most tissues in the body, including the brain, nerves, and liver, making it valuable for treating a wide range of ailments.

Forms: Tablet, and Capsule
Alpha-lipoic acid can be purchased as an individual supplement or part of a general antioxidant booster, along with vitamins C, E, and other antioxidants. Look for it on the ingredients list; it may also be called thioctic acid.

Common Uses-
Helps treat numbness, tingling, and other symptoms of nerve damage in people with diabetes or other conditions.
Protects the liver in hepatitis, alcohol abuse, or exposure to poisons or toxic chemicals.
Aids in preventing cataracts.
May help preserve memory in Alzheimer’s disease.
Serves as a high-potency antioxidant and possible immune booster, combating a wide range of disorders, including psoriasis, fibromyalgia, and AIDS.

Dosage: To treat specific disorders:
Alpha-lipoic acid is usually taken in doses of 100 to 200 mg three times a day.
For general antioxidant support: Lower doses of 50 to 150 mg a day may be used.

Guidelines for use: Alpha-lipoic acid can be taken with or without food. No major adverse effects have been reported.

Possible side effects:
Alpha-lipoic acid appears to be very safe, and there have been no reports of serious side effects in people taking it. Occasionally, the supplement may produce mild gastrointestinal upset, and in rare cases, allergic skin rashes have occurred. If side effects appear, lower the dose or discontinue using the supplement

Warnings:

For people with diabetes, the use of alpha-lipoic acid may require a change in insulin or other medications.
Reminder: If you have a medical condition, talk to your doctor before taking supplements.

    I highly doubt your chewable is any good. Chewables are usually high in sugar or sugar substitutes and contain only small amounts of nutrients.

    Although the acid is strong enough to kill most bacterai and inactivate viruses, the presence of food and liquids dilute the acid, coats the microbes and protects the cells and viruses against the acids and digestive enzymes. One bacteria associated with ulcer formation, secretes chemicals that neutralize the acids.

    The fact that a number of infectious diseases are transmitted through food and water indicates microbes have adapted well to the hostile conditions of the digestive tract. Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio, Escherichia, polio virus, Norwalk viruses all can survive in the intestinal tract.

    While Sony may have its pricey NEX-VG10 camcorder sucking up the limelight at yesterday’s showcase, let’s not forget the electronic giant’s more humble photographic devices. Just a few steps away we stumbled upon these near-identical Alpha A390 and A290 entry-level DSLRs, with the former donning a tilting LCD and live view capability to live up to its bigger price tag. We can’t comment on picture quality due to the lack of sample shots, but we were certainly impressed by both cameras’ build quality — kudos to Sony for the much improved grip, and we also liked the firm chassis (plus its various knobs and flaps) that didn’t feel cheap at all despite sounding hollow. Likewise, the 2.7-inch LCD looked sharp and served us well for all purposes, although we didn’t get to test it outdoor. Anyhow, enjoy our hands-on photos.

    Ben Goldacre: Rosiglitazone has been a magnet for disappointing behaviour since was first marketed in 1999 This week the US Food and Drug Association voted not to ban GlaxoSmithKline’s diabetes drug rosiglitazone (brand name Avandia). Their vote has been reported as a victory for the company. I don’t think so: this saga tells an ugly story about our collective medical incompetence. Rosiglitazone was first marketed in 1999. From the outset it was a magnet for disappointing behaviour. That first year Dr John Buse discussed an increased risk of heart problems at a pair of academic meetings. He was silenced. GSK made direct contact, then moved on to his head of department. Buse felt pressured to sign various legal documents and after wading through documents for several months, in 2007 the US Senate committee on finance released a report describing the treatment of Dr Buse as “intimidation”. In 2003, the Uppsala drug monitoring group of the World Health Organisation contacted GSK about an…
