I found out that alpha lipoic acid is a good antioxidant and can even be better than vitamin C in fighting the flu bug. However, I noticed a side effect, but a good side effect! It has helped me with my insomnia and works a bit better than any of the prescribed meds I have tried including Lunesta, Remeron, Elavil, and even Rozerem. Just wondering if anyone else has found this out as well.

I guess the ALA stuff works on different hormones in me that needed adjusting instead of working on serotonin and GABA and melatonin which kept me awake instead. I also know ALA can help relieve nerve pain in ppl with diabetes up to 800mg.
