Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Alpha lipoic acid is a powerful antioxidant and, as such, is a strong protection against disease. In Europe, it is approved by the mainstream medical establishment for the treatment of health complications resulting from diabetes, alcoholism, and various liver conditions. Research has indicated it protects the eyes from cataracts and glaucoma. It promotes healthy brain and nerve function and, as such, may be of benefit in preventing and treating Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. There is promising research that it can help chelate (remove) heavy metals from the body. There are indications it can improve bone health and help prevent migraines. It can also improve skin health in general, and lessening the effects of sun damage in particular. I personally take this crucial supplement as a preventative measure as one of the most powerful antioxidants out there. Doctor's Best is not the only vendor I would consider, but it is one with a good reputation. I would also consider purchasing it from Source Naturals, Life Extension, Jarrow Formulas, and Pure Encapsulations.
