WHAT is ALA ?
ALPHA LIPOIC ACID
IT'S a compound that supports SUGAR METABOLISM -
look it up online - just use the LINKS directly on the right
ALA IS NOT BRAND NEW - in fact
ITS BEEN available since 1950
Why is ALA important ?
It WILL DECREASE your blood glucose levels on REGULAR BASIS,
IF YOU ARE - Type 2 diabetic like me.
allow me to explain my experience---
As a TYPE 2 diabetic for more than 10 years now, I take RX medication daily
500 Mgs Metformin in the AM with Breakfast
1000 Mgs Metformin in the evening with dinner
PLUS 5 mgs of Glyburide twice a day with each meal above
I had been taking Avandia for a number of years until 2007 when I switched to
Januvia, and took that for 2 years until I started the regimen above in 2009.
WE all know about Avandia- no need to say more
With Januvia, I found my fasting levels averaged about 120, but suffered from
HYPO GLYCEMIA episodes quite often with sugar levels at 80 or lower,
and its expensive.
Within 2 weeks of starting ALA - Alpa Lipoic Acid-
600 mgs per capsule TWICE a day with my 2 main meals,
I got marvelous results in a couple of ways
1. MY AVERAGE Fasting blood glucose readings are NOW CONSISTENTLY UNDER 100
AND
2. I AM NOW able to tolerate BLOOD GLUCOSE levels as low as 70 WITHOUT hypoglycemia
As a DIABETIC taking meds - You MUST be aware of the symptoms of hypoglycemia :
erratic heart beat - dizziness - confusion - shaky legs - blurred vision- sensitivity to light.
ALL it takes to recover is 2 OUNCES of Orange Juice, wait about 10 minutes & retest.
ALA is NOT expensive as you can see above and as an average size capsule, I have no problem taking with juice or water.
You can find this product with the link to Puritan Pride Web site
just fill in Alpha Lipoic Acid in the search box, and it will take you right there.
Ive been buying from Puritan Pride for several years now, and have always been satisfied with the QUALITY & PRICING of their products over many other sources - Jay
I wouldn't have published this BLOG unless
I HAD PERSONAL EXPERIENCE with ALA,
and Im sure you can tell, I am very pleased with the results
There is no guarantee that YOU will achieve the same results,
but the reports Ive gotten from others is very much the same as mine.
Just TRY one bottle for a month for very little cost & effort.
Check with your doctor of course, but I'm sure they will tell you "not to waste your money". Since they have NO experience with such compounds, and never do they research such things, that's the only answer they can think of. Also, this is NOT a compound that has serious narcotic side effects, such as what you hear on "tv" about advertised meds, nor does it interact with anything else you may be taking. I also take about 12 vitamins & minerals daily including specific herbs to reduce cholesteral levels which is NON existent @ 145 total & 92 ldl.
My doctor says I should be a poster boy for low cholesteral.
Don't let ANYONE, even a medical professional, throw you off track from your own good health.
Heres the rub,
My Doctor says He cannot endorse any product that has not been approved by
the AMA, but he was NOT surprised that my A1C dropped from 7.2 down to 6.4 in just one month. Obviously he was very happy to see such results, even if he did not prescribe the product.
What will YOUR doctor say when you show him YOUR results, after just one month- 60 pills, just one bottle. After taking this for a while, you might find your need for RX pills might end up less than your current dosages. BUT I still prefer to see my FBG under 100 all the time, so Im not making any changes.
Local Vitamin retail shops are offering the same product for $17 to $19 per bottle, SO Buying it here is a NO BRAINER.
Best Wishes & Good Health
