Does anyone know if Source Naturals is a trusted brand for ALA? Is ALA a supplement where the brand doesn't make a huge difference?

I can tell you that this product does work for me. Go with the ALA that has the best natural not synthetic production process. There are 2 different ones and a 3rd I believe that's a mix. You should feel a difference in 3 to 7 days from it. Source Naturals has worked wonderfully

I have been taking ALA for more than a year with great reduction of neuropathy syntoms caused by diabetes. I tried other brands and finally stayed with Eden Pond, which is GMP.

Source Naturals is one of the "good brands". I always buy trusted brands when buying supplements.

Barb...I really don't remember. It has been a while since I took them. I don't think they did anything positive or negative for me so I never got any more of them. Sorry I was unable to answer your question. As with Dianne (see below) I also take Primal Defense (oh..that answers the question) probiotics. I have found that Enzymatica's Digest Gold works very well for me, has an excellent reputation and is a lot less expensive. I am in my 70s and this digestive stuff is important. I wish you well, Andie

I think Bill had a good answer. I look forward to Regenepure's conditioner coming in stock. I've never tried Nature's Gate before. I like Jason's products. They are all natural as well. I have used that conditioner in the past & enjoyed it.

One brand is different from another. If the manufacturing company is not certified by the USP or GMP then I would steer clear. Since supplements are not regulated by the FDA, quality can become an issue. I just added this product to my Amazon subscribe and save because according to the Natural Products Accociation, Natrol is GMP certified. I will see if it works for my neuropathy (nerve damage).

Without comparing and contrasting the ingredients and dosage for both brands I can say that the minute I use the Source Naturals I feel almost an instant boost. An awareness that tells me I probably should have been supplementing topical progesterone for some time. Other than that over time both creams gradually improve my symptoms (night/day sweats, lethargy, craving sweets). Both creams absorb at the same rate for me with little to no residue remaining. I guess the only real contrast (to me) is the somewhat unpleasant fragrance of the Source Naturals compared to the Emerita. I think it takes experimenting with each cream to see which will work best.

I have been through many many different brands I mean at least a dozen. This is the only brand that is consistent, has exceptional customer service, and is GMP certified, which a local supplement specialist says is important in the safety and consistency of natural supplements. I love my there supplements I get here. No supplement is a freaking miracle worker, I use my fitness pal app to track my calories, use my supplements, and exercise 4x a week, anything for 30 mins a day at home or a walk. With that I have had great success and kept it off.

Fair question. I've had l-Theanine before from a different company and it came with a certificate of lab analysis (from a third party, reputable lab) certifying it to be over 99% pure l-Theanine. I tried BulkSupplements because it was cheaper and had great reviews as well. The l-Theanine from BulkSupplements looks and tastes exactly the same as the lab certified stuff and provides the exact same effects, so I'm very confident that this is the real stuff.

I buy mine @ Wal-mart, they all seem about the same, it is the quantity you take that matters. Just because it costs more, doesn't necessarily mean it is better. I'm sorry, I can't really rate one over the other. I take 2 capsules 3x a day of the triple strength I buy @ Wal-mart along with the milled flaxseed I get in the flour section & I have minimal knee & joint pain.

I haven't used Lugol's, but I use nascent iodine from infowars and I don't notice any differences health wise. From my homework these products are the same this one and infowars brand. I may not even have thyroid issues, but I needed to protect myself and family bundaroo from radiation.

I had not heard of Deplin, but the online Deplin package insert says it is a combo of Metafolin (a trademarked form of folate available as a supplement from many OTC brands) and an algae called Schizochytrium that is a source of DHA. Sounds like you might be able to take these two supplements together for far less than Deplin costs. Quatrefolin is a similar folate product that is touted as being bioavailable. So there are lots of choices to try. Good luck!

Does this product work for you...? It could be watered down with too much olive oil? Curious because I have never used this product, but always purchase my Vit D drops after researching the company and it's ingredients, and how they are manufactured, processed, ect. I do use this company for another product in my home. I will say most of their products, seem to be standard, for good all natural purposes. In my own words only, "not superior".

A true COA is seeking to verify that the label is accurate and contains the stated ingredients. This COA actually shows our brand is stronger than listed on the label. I would also point out that we are the ONLY brand on Amazon.com who has paid to have a COA done. We believe in full disclosure and giving our customers only the best quality products. Thanks , Mike Turner Customer Service

Yes, for me it has helped enormously. As they say, get the R-ALA. I got the 600mg the last time. It is the bomb.

The therapeutic grade claim is a scam. The best quality you can get and you should look for is 100% pure and organic. You can't really tell by looking at labels so you need to find trusted brands. Now Foods offers great quality essential oils.

I only used this brand once. I didn't notice anything, but really wasn't paying close attention. I normally order the Navitas brand and have no compliants with that product. Here's hoping you're wrong, but...

I have not noticed much difference between brands, and usually buy by price and shipping costs. Just be sure to take at least 300mg per day. I currently take 600mg/day. Hope this helps.
