great value Fast shipment, great value. Have only been using this for a couple months. May 5, 2013
Antioxidant for overall support Since this substance was hghly recommended by the LINUS PAULING INSTITUTE for seniors I have included it in my supplement regimen along with L-Carnitine which was also recommended in the same report. It performs some of the same effects as Vit.C and Vit.E and also helps protect and recycle these nutrients. Great for sugar metabolism, and maintaining muscle mass. April 23, 2013
Great product Heard about this product while looking for another. Decided to try this and have had wonderful results. Capsules are small and easy to swallow. I plan on never running out and will be reordering regularly. March 27, 2013
Great Stuff! I have been using ALA for years. This is the only brand that I use. It appears to do exactly what it claims to do, and I will continue to purchase it for years to come. March 26, 2013
Best price on a recommended product Best price I could find, on the product I wanted -- highly recommended March 18, 2013
Meets recommendation of our MD Alpha lipoic acid was recommended by one of our MDs. Swanson brand meets reqirements very well as do the many vitamins and supplements we use from Swanson. January 5, 2013
No changes. I have not noticed any results from this product. September 27, 2012
Like the availability of products and variety of strengths available. This one does not give me heart burn or indigestion as some alpha-lipoic acids do. August 7, 2012
excellent It helped me a lot. I combine it with L carnitine. May 26, 2012
Bad Reaction This is my 2nd attempt to review, so hope this one goes through. I used one 300mg ALA per day for 3 weeks and developed a bad reaction. Luckily I isolate supplements when trying something new. I found my reaction associated with ALA on the Internet. After stopping the ALA my symptoms gradually faded and went away after about 2 weeks. I also felt a burning sensation after swallowing which caused me to chase it with a lot of water. Obviously ALA is not for everyone. May 2, 2012
great product The vitamins came in a very timely fashion and I believe they have helped me. I trust Swanson's quality from other friends comments, and I will continue to order from them. April 30, 2012
YOUR POWER PLANTS To keep it simple, Alpha Lipoic Acid is known to work together with Acetyl-L-Carnitine to keep the body's Mitochondria, the Power Plants in each and every cell, healthy, reproducing, functioning at their peak, and from breaking down. In other words, one important aspect of Anti-Aging. Personally, I take 2 of these 300 mg. Alpha Lipoic Acid capsules with 2 Acetyl-L-Carnitine 500 mg. capsules every morning. Good stuff! I like Very Powerful, Supercharged Power Plants. April 25, 2012
A life extending supplement I read about this a number of years ago in Reader's Digest. A number of extensive studies showed that it slowed down the aging process. I don't look my age so maybe it does work. April 15, 2012
You Do The Math Alpha Lipoic Acid is great stuff! This is Swanson Ultra Alpha Lipoic Acid. You do the math.... April 11, 2012
great product from a great company love the value and quality of the product and great service April 11, 2012
Good quality, good price Noticed no difference compared to the 'premium' brands that were marked up to over double Swanson's prices. April 5, 2012
Great Product! I have been using this product for some time and it is a great antioxidant! The capsules are small and easy to take. April 1, 2012
Best Value and Purchase ever! These capsules are nice and small, so easy to swallow. I take 1 capsule (300mgs) twice a day. They really do support healthy glucose metabolism! I'm very pleased with my lab results. March 30, 2012
Great value I love this product. The potency and the number of capsules makes the deal even better. This product helps preserve the other supplements I take. Will buy again. March 23, 2012
Great Product, Affordable Price A powerful antioxidant that helps support healthy glucose levels, all in one capsule! Needless to say, this is one of my favorite products. March 19, 2012
Great product I started using alpha lipoic acid after learning that it is a great antioxidant. Swansons brand is a great value and will continue to keep this in my supplement regimen. March 19, 2012
good product hard to find product at a good price March 14, 2012
it works with me! I take this along with ubiquinol and could not be happier. The price and strength mean that I am really getting my monies worth. March 14, 2012
Good stuff This is one of the few supplments that my wife and I have been taking regularly for a year. We feel healthier and more energetic than we did a year ago so will not stop using. March 12, 2012
for the price they are ok! I take 2 of another brand, these I have to take 3! But I could have built up a tolerance... January 14, 2012
