Brieofood Alpha Lipoic Acid 600mg per Serving - 240 Capsules - Non-GMO, Gluten Free

Post orthopedic surgery supplement

Overall, this seems to be a good option for an alpha lipoic acid supplement, providing 600 mg per serving. With 240 capsules per container, that's enough for 120 days, which I think is wonderful since it's one less supplement to constantly re-order.For their credit, the makers of this product, Brieofood, do not make any specific health claims about their product but simply provide information about the ingredients, the fact that is it 3rd party lab tested for purity and quality, the serving size, and a brief description of what ALA is, i.e. "a unique lipid and water soluble metabolic antioxidant that is a cofactor in energy production in cells."Based on various online resources, I have learned that its primary role is to convert blood sugar (glucose) into energy using oxygen, a process referred to as aerobic metabolism. Some resources suggest ALA may enhance calorie burning and promote weight loss, while others attribute several other benefits such as helping to manage high blood pressure, which I have.I have been taking these for 2 weeks now and so far haven't seen any notable improvements in my blood pressure; although it may take more time. However, my energy levels have been pretty good. Whether that is attributable to this product I can't say, but they certainly haven't hurt matters. Fortunately, this is a four-month supply, so I will have ample time to monitor for results.

Alpha-lipoic acid is a natural chemical produced by our bodies and found in food that is involved in a variety of functions in the body. People use this for its antioxidant properties, maintaining blood sugar levels, cholesterol levels, and more. This supplement doesn't make any health claims, but you can do a quick google search for an extensive list.I'm reasonably healthy but there are a lot of health issues in my family history. Heart disease is a huge problem on my dad's side and keeping my cholesterol levels healthy is important to me. So far, I've been able to keep my levels in the normal range but I want to make sure I keep it that way as I'm hitting middle-age when these issues start to really show up.The pills are reasonably small and easy to swallow gelcaps. There's a slight taste/odor to it but nothing difficult to deal with. I've experienced no side effects.The supplements are 3rd party verified which I feel is important. There have been some shady supplement companies out there.In terms of value for money, this is a 120 day supply, almost 4 months. That's a great value for what they charge and the range of potential health benefits this might provide.

Brieofood alpha-lipoic acid provides 600 mg ALA in each serving of two capsules, which can be taken 1-2 times per day. The other ingredients are: Rice flour, capsule (bovine gelatin), microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate (vegetable source), and silicon dioxide. This product is GMP certified, third party lab tested, made in the USA, and made with non-GMO ingredients.Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant which is both water- and fat-soluble, making it easy for cells to absorb. It can be found in some food sources including potatoes, carrots, broccoli, spinach, red meat, and liver. As an antioxidant, it helps protects cells from the damage of free radicals and also scavenges free radicals, reducing oxidative stress. Its antioxidant effects may protect the brain and help with some liver diseases.It may help with diabetes (particularly treating nerve pain), weight loss, cardiovascular health, improving endothelial dysfunction, and increasing glutathione levels.I’ve experienced mild weight loss since starting this supplement (together with watching my diet and exercising) and have not experienced any negative side effects. At $0.08 per count, it’s competitively priced compared to similar products.

I have been taking Alpha-Lipoic Acid – ALA – (or even in its better form R-Lipoic Acid) for many years for its benefits, namely: (i) lowering cholesterol, (ii) improving glucose control, (iii) lowering blood pressure, (iv) improving cognitive function and antioxidant properties. ALA is a potent and very versatile antioxidant as it is water and fat soluble. Unfortunately, the human body’s production of ALA decreases with age, the reason why I take supplementation. I have even witnessed a close relative of mine in an advanced stage of dementia become much more interactive (i.e., less lethargic) after taking ALA. I take 600mg per day at dinner. What I like with the Brieofood’s ALA is that it is 3rd party lab tested, which brings credibility to its product. I highly recommend this product.

I have only recently heard of ALA so thought I would add it to the many antioxidants and anti-inflammatory supplements I am taking. A little research will show you that ALA has several other benefits but being an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory was my main reason, and because I am taking so many of them already, I don't -- and it is doubtful that I will -- feel any additional effect by using the product.The pills, themselves, are easy enough to swallow and have a slight vegetable smell but no very noticeable flavor.
