Very good product
I've been using this product for quite some time and my results convinced me to continue this type of R Lipoic Acid. R+ and stabilized are the way to go for me. Compared to other brands and formulas, I am satisfied with the Life Extension offering.

Helps

Can I safely take 240 mg. super R- alpha lipoic acid by opening capsules and pouring contents out into apple sauce or sweetened yogurt, etc? Will it hurt my my esophagus? Thanks, D.
I have red, painful feet, just around the toes and ball of my foot. Will this product help with this and what's the daily dosage?

Best Answer:  I have no idea what if anything it will do with feet. I bought it as a potential aid for regulating blood glucose. I can't say that it had a significant effect in that regard and I stopped taking it.

Has anyone used this product (R-alpha lipoic acid)
How has it helped you?
I am a diabetic and have heard this is beneficial to lower blood sugar and also in weight loss.
