I've never had a problem with Puritan's, and have used them for years. They do not have the Stabilized Lipoic acid however.
I do have their acetyl carnitine though.

Interesting to note that they are the same company. When I called Vitamin World they verified that Puritans Pride and Vitamin World are the same company.
Also when I called Vitamin World today I asked them if any of their ingredients in their Lipoic Acid is made in China. The phone rep stated "yes" and it's mostly the Lipoic Acid itself that is made in China but she assured me that they test the product here in the USA for mercury, lead, etc, before they release the product to the public.
Is that normal for products to be made in China and is it safe or should I try and find a product that is NOT made in China? If that is even possible??? I was told that all Lipoic Acid is manufactured in China and that no USA based manufacturer gets its Lipoic Acid from here in the States. Is that true?
