Hi Daniella, i had lost that extra weight i had previously gained plus a bit more, so all up a 2 stone loss so i defiantly felt better just loosing that weight which is to be expected but the increase in energy i am referring to now is very different from that again, this is only after taking them for just over 2 weeks.

Even though i was originally diagnosed as being Prediabetic, i do virtually treat myself as being a diabetic 2, so keeping blood sugars right for me is paramount, ALA can lower blood sugars so constant checks is crucial whilst taking this supplement, it shouldn't be taken in combination with any perscription meds that lower blood sugars, ALA is really an " old boy on the block " Wings [David] has had in his " suggested supplements " in the Stickies for ages, its been used overseas to treat diabetic neuropathy for over 50 years.
There is heaps on the net regarding alpha lipioc acid, here is just one

Regarding taking B vitamins, i take a multi B & 1mg b12 methyl on an empty stomache every day, been taken the multi B for over 4 years never had a problem, it defiantly does give me more energy.
