"You'd be silly to ignore this product. Also, take my advice... Take this in conjunction with Jarrow Formulas' Resveratrol Synergy. Don't listen to those who say it doesn't have near the potency as other products, and that you're not getting your money's worth. There's a reason for that, and it's because JFs' product is designed for maximum bioavailabilty. Furthermore, it is said that too much of certain ingredients like those related to Resveratrol can interfere with your cholesterol levels. There's new evidence coming out about the misconception about which types of cholesterols are responsible for poor health and what triggers the undesired fluctuations. However, you can't go wrong with the two products I've just mentioned. Period."

"I’m not absolutely sure this supplement is the cause but it seems to elevate my heart rate from mid 60’s to low 70’s and raise my anxiety level thus exacerbating my insomnia. I still have about 20 pills left but I think I’ll throw them away. This is my second attempt to try and finish the bottle of 120. I stopped before because it worsened my insomnia."

"These bi-layer tablets are easier to swallow than a capsule of the same size (~10mm long tip to tip) because they are oblong and lightly coated. I find when swallowing a regular capsule that they often get stuck in my esophagus until I drink a good sized amount of water. Since I take several supplements per day, if they were all capsules, I'd have to drink a gallon of water in one sitting!! Perhaps I exaggerate, but at times it can be difficult to drink so much water when swallowing pills. So when I find a decent supplement like Jarrow Alpha Lipoic Sustain that makes my life easier, I'm happy. I also like the fact that 1/3 of the tablet is rapid release and the other 2/3 is gradually released giving me great coverage with this most valuable supplement all day. Alpha Lipoic Acid helps to regulate glucose metabolism. This is an important function for everyone, maybe even more so for pre-diabetics and diabetics, or anyone who suffers from those awful low blood sugar bouts 2 hours after eating a pile of Trolli sour gummy worms (me). In short, keeping our blood sugar at stable levels all day (normal glucose levels should be between 80-120 at all times) is extremely important for everyone. I am not a diabetic, but even so, I have checked my blood sugar using a glucose monitor during one of my low blood sugar bouts and have gotten a reading that is exceedingly low (~20). This is not good for many reasons, most obviously the symptoms that go with the low blood sugar, ie: faintness, dizziness, profuse sweating, and rapid heartbeat. I know that is my body telling me I am seriously out of whack. Since I've learned the hard way too many times, I don't often eat piles of gummies on an empty stomach anymore, but I plan to test the efficacy of this supplement some time. Another very important reason for taking this is to help decrease the formation of certain free radicals in the body. Free radicals are responsible for everything from premature aging to cancer. We don't want them as they are bad in so many ways. I enjoy giving my body as many opportunities for health with supplements as I can since my diet can be less than optimal at times. Even if you eat perfect foods all the time, supplements can help guard you from diseases we can't control such as those caused by the environment or genetics. I recommend this supplement from Jarrow. It was shipped very fast (I have Prime) and arrived in perfect condition. Hope this helps."
