Just don't take the high doses all at once. Carnitine has a ceiling on absorption, so dividing it up during the day makes for better results. If you get loose stools, you'll know it is not getting absorbed. (sort of like the magnesium).

All interesting reading and I had no idea of the difference. I've been taking the Alpha Lipoic for maybe 4 months, although only 400 mg a day since it was bothering my stomach. I'll do a search for the R form and order some.
I should note that I haven't felt a bit of difference since going on the Alpha and the rest of the regimen - L-Carnitine (L Tartate) 500 mg, B12 (methylcobalamin) 2500 mcg, B6, D3, Magnesium Malate and CoQ-10. I stopped the fish oil because of the scary stories I've been reading about prostate issues. Guess all this will take time! |

Studies for supplements tend to vary all over the place.
This is because the variables are not carefully taken into consideration. One study now....needs corroboration, and better control. This link explains other variables and fish oil: http://health.heraldtribune.com/2013...-pretty-fishy/ People can do what they think is best however. In this house hubby continues his omega-3's, he's been taking them for over a decade now. He doesn't eat fish, so he only uses a small amount of fish oil. Not in the mega gram range. Omega-3's are involved in cell membrane repair. So one has to have them either in food or supplements. They are essential...meaning we need to consume them in some manner. There is also controversy about flax and prostate health: http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-c...d/faq-20058328 The bottom line is moderation, I would presume. Because without any, there is no repair of tissue, or support of the immune system, leading to serious declines in health.

Yes, studies are all over the place for sure. We both take our fish oil for many reasons.

Also not unusual is that while some supplements' benefits are noticable almost immediately, others take longer or work more slowly—so slowly that it may not be readily noticable. Keeping a medication diary/journal can sometimes help in sorting this out. Quote:
