- As a physician, Dr. Warner treats a lot of patients suffering from neuropathy - either from entrapped nerves or diabetic nerve pain.
One of the natural medicines she recommends for these patients, in conjunction with prescription medications, is Alpha-Lipoic Acid. This supplement has been prescribed for years in Europe for those suffering from nerve pain.
This powerful antioxidant is effective for reducing neuropathic pain by improving the oxidative health of brain cells, enhancing their function, and reducing inflammation along nerves at a cellular level.
It can also help regulate your glycemic load, stabilizing blood sugars, and making this a perfect well-rounded supplement for diabetic neuropathy. It's also a great daily supplement for those not suffering from nerve pain, who simply want to improve cognition and improve their oxidative health for long-term wellness.

Make sure you get the "R" type (R-Alpha Lipoic Acid ). It's more expensive than the other two, but having looked in to it in depth, it's the only one worth using. Thanks for a great video.
I have tried numerous medicines and supplements and ALA is the real deal. I'm type 2 diabetic and ALA has dropped my average levels from 280 to 125! Not kidding.
Which form did you use and at what dose? That's phenomenal results man congrats!
Fantastic to hear
Plz answer what @@asifmir3987asked you
Dr. Edith Warner is spot on correct about ALA. Her well informed comments are all science based and represent an enlightened approach to achieving health and wellness. Thank you Dr. Warner.
I have to disagree with you....Dr Warner as a Dr should be aware that S-ALS is Synthetic and NOT the REAL DEAL... R-ALA is 100% PURE
There are 3 forms of Alpha Lipoic Acid on the market:
R-Alpha Lipoic Acid.
S-Alpha Lipoic Acid
RS-Alpha Lipoic Acid.
The R-Alpha Lipoic Acid is the only pure form and costs a lot more than the synthetic ones!
It is vital that YOU high-light this fact to your viewers!
Vital why? Do hou have studies that show the other forms don’t work and the r form is the only form that does or are there a number of good studies that show bad side effects from the other forme and not of r form or is it just influencer propaganda
@@georgecav R-ALA has higher bioavailability. Most ALA products are RS. There are influencers claiming that RS has no benefit or negative effects. However, there are no good studies to back up these claims. There are few synthetic supplements that are good for you long-term which is probably where the phobia comes from.
R-ALA is water soluble and has better absorption then either S--ALA(synthetic)and RS-ALA RS is just a mixture of R (water soluble) and Synthetic ALA but the synthetic mixture inhibits the R absorption
Thank you I am diabetic type 2 and I use insulin 36 units a day my sugar levels were 26 and I started using ALA my sugar level went down to 14 with the same eating order it is amazing this is not an advertisement this is true diabetic patient experience and my legs pain has started to ease.
This ALA dose that I have taken is not even 200 mg
I am not a doctor I am a diabetic patient I have tried ALA and it worked thanks for this video.
That’s great which brand are you using?
Is it R or S?
R is active
I love this doctor.
Me and my dog are ultrarunners, canicross together...anyway...my pooch is on ALA too, 0.25 grams twice daily.
We just finished a 240 km running week and a 900 km running month of June.
He also takes glutamine, taurine, nac and alcar, twice a day on empty stomach.
This helps with his endurance, stamina and PTSD....he is a rescue, mix Coyote and Bordercollie. I got him when he was 22 months old and quite sick, he had behaviour issues because of neglect, abuse, no excersise and bad food. No one was able to walk him.
Now he is the sweetest dog, healthy, strong and smart as a whip, no behaviour issues anymore whatsoever.
He also gets a can of sardines a day with crushed flaxseeds, homemade dogfood with prebiotics and probiotics, good animal proteins, occasionally mutton offal meat and eggs, coconut meat for caprylic acid, antioxidants like blueberries, spinach twice a week and a variation of freshly cooked vegetables, he loves red beets and cooked carrots...everything for healthy gut microbiome.
His transformation in two years is mindblowing.
His name is Ben but should change it to Zen.
He is tranquill yet extremely energetic and ALA plus the rest has helped tremendously.
By the way...I am 50 year old female and take the same amino acid cocktail but different dosage ofcourse.
Wonderful ❣️👍✅🐶
So your Dog is the ultimate for your life, not for you.
Good info doc! Thanks!
Wonderful explanations thx 🙏🏻
Thank you doctor so much
Very helpful. thanks for the great info!
Thanks for the information Doctor
Thanks for sharing. Will try using this
Great...! Thank you Dr Warner 😊
Thanks for ever and endless for your lovely video. Genco London
I trust this gal, gonna take her advice.
Thank you for this, I am taking this and finding it effective !
I am a diabetic, thank you so much.
Thanks doc. I started taking ala this week and within a couple days I felt more clear headed. 👍
Thank you for the suggestion. It might be suitable for some people.
But it is not easy for stomach.
I just found your channel and I think you are wonderful and give wonderful advice. Wish you were my doctor. You have a new subscriber (ME). Sending you so much Love and Support my friend! Roy
Very informative
Great info. Obviously a very conscientious individual. Much appreciated. I just started taking Alpha-Lipoic Acid for lower cholesterol as well as all the other health benefits you so aptly mentioned. NIH studies say it only lowers cholesterol specifically LDL in larger doses like 1200 mg but I’m starting with 600 to let body acclimate and make sure I do Ok. The antioxidant properties and cognitive benefits along with less sugar in the blood sounds beneficial to everyone not just diabetic neuropathy sufferers.
and do you still take your meds from your doctor thanks
Wish I had a Dr. as sharp as you. Gonna give it a try. Very hard to walk to my car now after work. Fatigue from 12 hr. shift makes me very light headed. I also deal with pain and use a cane.
Most people should probably take antioxidant supplements such as ALA not just to maintain healthy glucose levels but also reduce risks of neurological diseases which have been on the rise. Our bodies are constantly bombarded with environmental toxins.
Very informative and well explained! Thank you! I just started taking R-Alpha Lipoic Acid.
I've had a few ward sessions in intravenous serum combined with a diet and the rejuvenating effect is amazing. Great improvement in inflammatory processes, and in the process of cleaning toxins from the body.
Muito bom
My wife has used it and got relief from ALA.
You must emphasize to your patients to Only purchase R-ALA and not S-ALA or just plain ALA which is a combination of both R and S. S is synthetic while R is natural.
THAK YOU - I NEED THOSE ALA PILLS !
I have Myalgic Encephalomyolitis Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and tend to be hypoglycemic. Would ALA be good for my brain and level out my sugar as well??? I try not to eat much sugar but realize that I need to get some in my diet. I find it to be a fine line
Thank you for your help ☺️.
Miss Monique 🙂🌷🙏💗
Also Manganese 3-7 mg daily.
Thanking you from Ohio.
what is mechamism for alpha lipoic acid
Hi doctor which one is best people say the one with the R what's the difference
I usually have problems when my blood sugar drop to low. My blood test came back and my doctor said I am pre-diabetes. I tried taking 50mg of ALA and each time it made my blood sugar dropped low 😔
Ala affects thyroid?
I have nerve pain after suffering a stroke, will ALA work for my pain?
I’m having trouble finding natural ALA-R I seem to only find ALA -R AND S…
Is it worth taking this at all?
Will it help a LITTLE bit ?
Been concentrating on the foods meanwhile to get as much as I can.
I’m in W. Europe and unfortunately my doc only believes in big pharma meds …
Very informative, thank you. Have a question?
There is so much controversy regarding ALA vs R-ALA, can you explain which is the better choice? Thank you.
Serrapeptase was discovered in the 1960s in Japan. We are impressed with your knowledge base! This is also known as serratiopeptidase. This particular substance is used often in therapeutics and is a proteolytic enzyme. Enzymes are more and more often being used to treat various conditions. Enzymes are selective, efficient and usually safe. Other enzymes that may sound familiar include trypsin, bromelain and papain. Serratiopeptidase has anti inflammatory, anti edema and pain relieving properties. It can break down proteins and fiber in the body. It is a zinc-containing metalloproteinase. The Japanese isolated this molecule from the digestive tract of the silkworm. The molecule has been tested in animal studies and is effective in reducing inflammation. Regarding pain, serratiopeptidase is able to hydrolyse painful cytokines like bradykinin, histamine. It has a very high affinity for the COX enzymes and can selectively destroy them. It has also been shown, in animal studies, to reduce the build up of amyloid-beta in Alzheimer models. Due to bioavailability issues very high doses are usually recommended. One human article tested 10mg twice a day to treat carpal tunnel. This was a success. The oral dosage recommendations range from 10-60mg two or three times daily, with a maximum recommendation of about 180mg daily. It has also been used in injection form for dental issues. Based on the available literature and the use historically, it does seem to be worth considering. Of course, you must discuss this with your treating physician.
R-ALA is the better choice. Look it up.
Does ALA helps in better absorption of creatine?, for better muscle recovery?
PS- Im already a healthy individual
ALA comes in at least three forms I'm aware of. The type I take is Na-RALA and is tied to Sodium, making it up to 30 times more available than RALA, the R form of ALA, or so the manufacturer claims. Then there's the S form which is a synthetic and not as effective.
Yes, was hoping she would address the different types, looked on her link and her brand is like alot of them, not specified so it's probably the cheaper form S, I always take R but will find out about the NA-RLA form, good info thanks.
Ala has two isomers that make it up… the R isomer (R-ALA) and the S isomer (S-ALA). The R isomer form is the active form of ala and the S isomer is inactive. If you want to get the most affordable (but equally effective) ala just get the regular ala and double the dose to get an equivalent amount of R-ALA. The time released version is best for most applications as ala has a short half life. Na-RALA may be stronger though than all the above but the half life may be short too (i don’t know that for sure)
problem is that it gives me dry mouth, please explain why
I am type 2 diabetic
Why aren't you using R-ALA in your product?
Do you like R or S better or mixture 300 mg of each?
hi Dr, is it good for long covid?
What about R-ALA
Where is alpha lipoic acid available in India?
can non-diabetics use it? As a non-diabetic i use it twice a day to deal with my neuropathy due to trauma.
Can a diabetic with hypothyroidism take ala ?
hey do we still take metformin with alphalipoic acid please and thanks for this video
Yes
ALA has been a great help for my nerve pain. The only dislike is the odor it adds to urine. I assume that's because of the sulfates.
Ah, so that's why smelly pee! I was starting to wonder if there was something else wrong with me! Thank you! The R-ALA seems to be working too! The numbness in the fingers of my right hand is lessening after only 2 weeks of taking this.
I believe it's the same nutrient in asparagus that adds that smell. Ugh! But it's the only down side. I'm glad it's helping you. @@jackgrimes-wl8fb
Would benfotiamine be safe to take along with ALA for diabetic neuropathy?
Yes, I looked it up, ALA depletes thiamine (B-1) from the body so I take that cause I knew it helped the nerves, but benfotiamine is a slightly different form of it that I was a little confused about how so I'm gonna read up on it some more, alot of neuropathy supplements have it in them.
@@michaelhayward9532 Benfo is fat soluble unlike regular B1.
I have alcohol neuropathy and I've been taking both together for a month now with no weird effects. Been feeling much better since then.
What time and with what is recommended to take ALA ty
I take mine first thing in the morning. Then I wait 30 minutes before I eat. It has helped me big time. I got the advice from a medical website.
Thank you, Doctor. When you recommend 600 mg daily, does it matter whether it is the S type for synthetic I think or the R type (real). I've read conflicting reports that say the S type is ineffective, but many capsules contain a mix of the two types. Confused...
That's what is like to know R or. S
You want R type. S is synthetic
There must be R in front of the name.
S is for synthetic and the R is the active form.
I have 9 amalgam filling from 1997. I started taking R Lipoic Acid about 3 weeks ago and started to have headache recently. There is alot of talk about how R Lipoic Acid can mobilize mercury from Amalgam to Brain.
You want to be carefull using ALA when you have amalgams. Wish you good healht.
Drop the does I have silver filling it won’t hurt according the docs study’s I’m good so far, our silver release every time we eat hot and cold food and with other things everyday anyway.
Chlorella + Spirulina should help with this.....
Can I take ALA with barley green since both hve to be taken empty stomach in morning..plse reply ,I hve subscribed
Maybe not, barley contains fiber, it may affect absorption of some nutrients/vitamins
Is it safe to take Benfotiamine along with it also? I'm type 2diabetic and take both. 🇬🇧
Hi Maggie! Benfotiamine + ALA is a winning combination to support healthy aging and to support healthy cells in the presence of circulating glucose. Of course, we always suggest consulting with your doctor before starting a new supplement!
I've avoided ALA for a long time, due to its effect of releasing mercury, and I still have amalgams. Am I wrong for avoiding it? I don't mind mercury if it's released from the body, but I don't want it simply migrating.
Research frequent low dose chelation, Andrew Cutler. Yes avoid ala unless you follow Cutler chelation protocol
Should be taken on an empty stomach or with food?
If you go to dr burgs video on ala he says take it on empty stomach for it to work best 🙂
You should recommend cordyceps for diabetics
according to some, namely Andy Cutler, due to the short half life in the body taking ALA outside of a well considered frequent dosing protocol (< 3 hour interval, around the clock, with supporting supplementation) may redistribute the body burden of heavy metals towards the more metabolically active tissues of the body, for example your brain. This would be a bad thing. If you have amalgam fillings it may increase transport of mercury from your fillings to your brain. his books are compelling reading and a conservative take on use of ALA.
Oh god I freakin give up.😔
Chlorella + Spirulina should help with this.....
Completely agree.
i suffered 4 years ago stroke. have diabetese n bp. what should i. do
Eat 1-2 meals a day, mostly veggies (low sugar) , avoid seed oils, exercise every day for 30min. Get more vitamin k2. Eat BP lowering foods: milled flaxseed, beets, garlic, natto, hibiscus tea. Eat low mercury fatty fish 1-3x a week. (salmon, sardines). Drink green tea daily. Preferably matcha.
Your eyes are really pretty
How is her medical advice
@@jhakkuagadhi842 she is right I take 600mg everyday as an athlete n bodybuilder it keeps ur blood sugar low and makes your skin glow too it's most powerful antioxidant
She's not going to do you, dude.
@@TheGnuisancev3 you dont know until you try
@@jhakkuagadhi842 not as good as her eyes
can you tell which one of R-Alpha Lipoic Acid or S-Alpha Lipoic Acid is better for diabetics
I have ordered the brand Immunovites R - ALA. Dr Valerie from The nerve Doctors explains it all so well.
🌼
I take 150 mg of ALA everyday but a little bit concerned about some doctors saying certain individuals can have problems with their Insulin metabolism where ALA can create insulin anti bodies. Another doctor also made reference to some mice based study where it shortened its lifespan. I will still continue to take it but was just curious if you are aware of any such thing.
Faisal, please quote that reference from that doctor told you about for the rest of us diabetics to help alleviate their pain. Thank you.
@@allenbarrow4904 I am non-diabetic so I have switched to Berberine since it has more case studies done on it and I do feel energy. One concern for non diabetics was raised by Dr Brad Stanfield on his channel. Official Dr. Bryan Walsh channel also talked about interference with insulin. Lately I have found there are concerns about almost anything you are eating so I won't bother. Specially if you can feel the results.
@@faisal-ca thank you for explaining your resukts...it good to hear that someone is looking and checking these things
Faisal, thank you for the reply.
Beli ala yang original dimana
diluar negri keknya jaminan asli 😞
great video!!! i am diabetic type 2 and starting using ALA about 6 months ago.My sugar went down to 6.0 and I feel very happy,though it is expensive supply .The question is: what if I start to use it twice a day-as long I know the effect of taking it is about an hour or so.So what if I start taking it twice 600mg on 12 hours interval? Will I get more benefits of this?
Likely, most medicines work this way. Absorption and utilisation is improved with many smaller doses
What brand of ALA do you take?
@@gloriasaliba3395 R-Alpha Liponsäure 300mg
@@MrLuba6a thank you!!!
@@gloriasaliba3395 🤝
Saw a video a guy saying, it was tested on mice, and seemed to work but but it shorten the lifespan of the mice. I don't know but it made me feel scared.
I am confused on types of R or S-ALA... Which one you recommend?
Sombady tell that help for tendons recovery please tell mee sombady it 9s true
I've started using R-ALA for a week now, taking 300mg a day. Hope it helps. So far, there are no side effects.
Thank you Dr. Warner for this great information! I have diabetic type II now I got janumet form my doc but it causes stingy foot pain when I use it, maybe I must increase benfotiamine b1 300mg dosage daily? Or is ALA a better alternative to lower blood sugar?
Last year I tried ALA a short time (3 days) with 600mg a day and I was tired all day long could sleep in day and night so I took the ALA off. Why ALA has maked me feel so tired? Should I try ALA again on lower dosage instead of using janumet?
In fact some researchers suggest that ALA might be a helpfull sleep aid.
I take 2x times 1grams ALA one in morning, one in the evening, now I have ALA as powder it burns in the throat for few seconds, I not have foot pain anymore super, not makes me sleepy.
Then I take 2x times a day Janumet, but still get 2-3 days a week a little bit sugar crave, I don't know if this is normal with Janumet ALA?
Now my long time blood glucoes value on empty stomach is 5.1 nort bad.
what would be a recommended daily dosage for having a fatty liver ?
Like to know the same thing.
Ok when to take alpha liopic acid early morning ... Or before meal or after meal ??
It's best in the morning with a meal.
@@welltheorybymeredithwarner I am diabetic .. what is the dosage ?? I also do workout... Can I consume with creatine ??
I agree. I take it first thing in the morning and wait 30 minutes before I eat so it can dissolve and spread effectively.
Why don't these videos mention that the ONLY ALA that gives the clinical effects is R-ALA. ONLY...
Because it's not true.
Don’t forget Benfotiamine!!!!!
a worry , dr brad Stansfield claims Ala should not be taken by every one especially if you are not diabetic as latest research data tells that it is detrimental to life span. Krikey ☺️
Several reliable articles indicate that the only alpha lipoic acid that is therapeutic is that that is given intravenously over a two week. Philip Datlof MD
😍
I don't care much about the additives in those supplements.also I can't swallow pills and it's an acid, worried t9 harm esophagus
Did nothing for me.
😋😋
EYELINER way to heavy, thick. You would look better with less. Research it.
Why don't you mention that only the R type works, you should know better........
She does know better. My sugar levels have dropped significantly.
I was agreeing with you until you said red meat. The evidence is clear on carnivore. It is extremely healthy. You need to do more research before you mislead more people.
Me: Dr. I would like to speak to you about ALA.
DR. 🦗 🦗 🦗! I’ve sent your 15 RXs (statins, antidepressants, HBP meds, metformin, blood thinner, anti anxiety, muscle relaxer, sleeping 💊, etc, and other RXs to counteract the side effects of coma, death, loss of bowel & bladder control, paralysis, explosive diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, loss of cognitive function and hair) to your pharmacy! And don’t forget to take an aspirin a day! Just follow up in 2 weeks!
Me:😮😂😂😂. Not going to the pharmacy or this Dr. Again!
I take 600 mg a day i have type 2 and it hasnt helped me at all!!
