No, not all R-lipoic is stablized.

This thread explains it all. The stabilized one is highly absorbed ...higher than any other form of it. I was using Source Naturals, R-lipoic which I discovered was not stabilized..hence it wasn't really working for me. After switching to Doctor's Best, that is when I started to improve more. The HbA1C test proved that one!

My foot pain is mostly the worst when I first go to bed. Then it seems to wane until morning. I have used Biofreeze when the burning was awful at times. Back before I discovered potatoes as a trigger for it, as well as MSG... I was having burning very often. Now not so much. I have arthritis also and that left foot surgical scar which sometimes swells up too. So 3 major pain generators.

I am testing out N-A-G 750mg from Jarrow, in the hopes it will help the arthritis some. There is a thread about this in the Subforum above. But it just came this week, and I've only used it 2 days so far. After a month I should know more ... hoping to get the sesamoid bones and tendons around them quieted down some.

Our new kitten Houdini is so loveable. He greets you by tapping on your hands or legs with his little white paws...so gently. He also does that to Weezie I've noticed. I have a new
portrait of him I just put up in my profile album. He is so cute!
He is the most social and loving kitten we have ever had. He plays very creatively and I love doing his games during the day. He was an 100% outdoor feral--- and is not "feral" at all (his littermates were wild though). I trained him to use the litter box in 2 days! And he has adapted to our stimulating home with ease! He has charmed all the Vet techs at our Vet too... ooooouuu and ahhhhh...everytime we go in.
We named him Houdini because he escaped when we brought him home, and we couldn't find him. (his tuxedo fur looks like a magician too) He likes the name and came right away to it when I tried him on it! So he remains Houdini.
