Is this "stabilized" r-lipoic acid? Thx
739864
There is no information on the bottle or have I read anywhere about this brand being stabilized. I have severe nerve pain and I have diabetes 2. I tested it by comparing and not taking it. Nerve pain was worse, and blood sugar went up. While on it, 2 tabs 3 times daily, nerve damage is not as bad and blood sugar stays lower. Since it does not say it anywhere being stabilized I would write the company. So I would say "No". No record of it found to be stabilized. Thanks for asking, now I will be doing some more research on why stabilization is more important than not. I will write the company and ask. However, because the price is low, that also sends to me a red flag that it is not stabilized. Good luck. Please note if you find a brand that is stabilized and at a lower price. Thanks in advance.

I certainly am no expert and have never used any of the brands but on another site it is recommended that you ONLY use the Siberian brand. Also, that it not only has 3% rosavins but 1$ salidrosides 0r a 3 to 1 ratio. Also, that it be freeze-dried which the Siberian is and the Now brand is not. I believe the site is Dr. Ramazanovs.com but not 100% sure. The product tho is called Perfect Acai Revive or Perfect Rhodiola Rosea (2 different ones)

I would suggest looking at the food you're eating. You want to have healthy complex carbs (veges and fruit), fiber, and some good proteins with the right kinds of fat. I'm not sure that it is the R-Lipoic Acid.

It doesn't give that information on the packaging, but lists DMAE before alpha lipoic acid and has 1% alpha lipoic acid, so I assume it must be 1% or higher.

Not exactly sure, but the small amount of benzoic acid it contains is a preservative. I go through a bottle every 3 months or so, and there's never been any perceptible deterioration in the product. I store at room temp.

I believe the ferulic acid helps stabilize it, but it will go bad. I get a good six weeks to two months out of of it, though. Here's how:Keep in fridgeDecant about a weeks worth into a smaller bottle you keep by your bed or something. The less you open the original bottle, the less it'll be exposed to oxygen.Also, use it liberally. On neck, décolleté, everywhere. Get your money's worth! It's so much cheaper (and stronger) than other brands of C, even if you have to buy it more often, it's still cost effective. Hope this helps!

Sorry but I am not a chemist. I just know the product has worked for me and the other ppl I have turned them onto. I am very happy with this product and will continue to buy.

I just looked at the bottle and didn't see one. It is just citric and sulfamic acids. I'm sure as long as your keep it dry, it will last a long time.

You never want to mix acids! If you want to use this product (the Vit C serum) regularly, I would use in the morning and the retinol at night, but together would not be good (irritating and/or cancel each other's effects)

I found this: Lipoic Acid is an organosulfur compound derived from octanoic acid. Only the (R)-(+)-enantiomer exists in nature and is an essential cofactor of four mitochondrial enzyme complexes. Endogenously synthesized RLA is essential for aerobic metabolism.

Ms. Valdivia, You should be able to open these Doctor's Best Alpha Lipoic Acid capsules and empty the contents on to cereal or some other food substance. Hopes this helps.

It has multiple ingredients but lipoic acid would be considered the active ingredient. For more details you could contact there customer service a 1-888-203-3130, the number on the label.

Yes, it is. We've been using it for years, and it works wonders on my hands. The product "with anti-oxidants" is not quite the same - it's a 2 capsule dose. This is the same product as the 30 size, and therefore saves some money.

I ordered Vi-Jon, got Swan brand instead. Not pure, tocopherol added as stabilizer according to bottle ingredient label (99.9% Mineral oil).

I like this product. I am not a chemist, so I don't know how I could attest to the purity. Apparently, from your comment, you have some way to ascertain purity? If so, why ask? I had merely heard that OptiMSM is a good product, and I have heard that this is a good company. You are on your own from there.

The product I reviewed is clearly marked "ascorbic acid." Most ascorbic acid contains l ascorbic acid (the active part of vitamin c) and D ascorbic acid (the inactive component of vitamin c). If you intend to use this as a drink the ascorbic acid product described will be utilized and recognized by the body as any other equivalently potent vitamin c source. If you intend to use this to prepare a skin serum it is my belief this is an excellent product for this purpose. Vitamin C is very unstable. I had to stop using commercially prepared serums because they would oxidize before I could use them. If you research this further you'll discover oxidized vitamin C serums, or serums that contain a solution of vitamin C that is too strong will do more harm than using chemically inert compounds on the skin. Check out Essential Day Spa thread on this subject-you'll probably learn more than you want to know. I hope this helps. Bonnie
