I found out that alpha lipoic acid is a good antioxidant and can even be better than vitamin C in fighting the flu bug. However, I noticed a side effect, but a good side effect! It has helped me with my insomnia and works a bit better than any of the prescribed meds I have tried including Lunesta, Remeron, Elavil, and even Rozerem. Just wondering if anyone else has found this out as well.

I guess the ALA stuff works on different hormones in me that needed adjusting instead of working on serotonin and GABA and melatonin which kept me awake instead. I also know ALA can help relieve nerve pain in ppl with diabetes up to 800mg.

Does anyone use Alpha Lipoic Acid as an antioxidant?
November 18th, 2009I just bought ALA from HerbMart and decided to do some further research on it and discovered that it could possibly be dangerous to take because it mobilizes mercury to other parts of the body. Is there any way around this or should I just completely avoid the supplement. I was planning on using it in combination with Acetyl-L-Carintine.
