@tim-2 I have this one from swanson. It is probably the mixture of R and S form of ALA right?
https://cz.iherb.com/pr/swanson-alpha-lipoic-acid-600-mg-60-capsules/116321
Btw that powder has light yellow color and has horrible taste. IS that normal? 🙂 I can try like 1/5 of a capsule once a day. I will take it later in the day away from my thyroid T4 pill that I take in the morning.. Btw my skin on the face looks really clean now. But I don't know if it is from that one pill of ALA or biotin with B5 I was taking lately. But I have some hair loss again. So I probably need to take less B5 and take more biotin. My biotin is probably low since I eat hardly any good sources of it for a long time..

@jiri
Yes, the R-lipoic acid is clearly labelled and is generally more expensive.
It doesn't taste as bad to me as B complex powder but B complex powder is very nasty tasting.
Re biotin did you reduce your egg consumption?

@tim-2 I always try to start eating eggs again, but I don't feel right on them for some reason.. I like cooked egg whites in oatmeal, but if I eat whole eggs after couple of days I feel like something is accumulating in me. Like probably the cholesterol that my body is not using well when my thyroid function is not ideal..

Yeah I don't cook up eggs often. I like foods like pancakes and waffles that contain them though hehe.
This is my pick of the ALA products on iHerb:
Swanson R-Fraction Alpha Lipoic Acid, 50 mg, 60 Capsules
I don't think taking half of one of those capsules 3x a day would be too small a dose.
It also comes in a 100mg product which works out cheaper if one is willing to split it into thirds or quarters.

@tim-2 I took today again like 1/4 of 600mg capsule and I feel like shit whole day. Weird feeling in the head, cold all the time, weirhd tingling in my lower legs.. I wish I knew exactly what is doing what in the body. Like If I knew that it is just some detox reaction I have no problem feeling like shit if I know it is helping me. But it could also mean that it is doing more damage than good like it can lower B1, thyroid or even blood sugar like people say ALA can do that.. I will try to take even smaller dose, but I think it will be still too much for me heh..

Hi Tim, may I ask why did you include coq10 in there? I just recently bought two bottles of 200mg coq10 capsules. I took one capsule and it gave me this weird anxious wired feeling so I haven't taken it since.
What type of CoQ10 is it? Ubiquinone or Ubiquinol?

It's ubiquinone. Coq10 is a very expensive supplement and I don't want to mess with my body's own production of it so I'm not going to take it anymore. I will just throw those two bottles in the trash and forget about it.

I'm suffering from shortness of breath and the inside of my nose feels so dry that I feel the flowing air stinging the mucosa. Do you think these are also vA toxicity symptoms?

@arket
Hypervitaminosis A can cause so many different symptoms but of course I can't know if those symptoms you described are due to it.
Another thing to consider though, shutting all the windows and having limited ventilation is I suspect a common practice for many in Finland at this time of year. It is unhealthy to be breathing in exhaled waste products such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. It's even worse if a gas stove is being used or mould is present.

Hi Arket, Matt Stone just did a video on how he believes VA causes his asthma. My nose has problems like yours. One thing that helps is to apply a little bit of vaseline just inside the nostril. My guess is this has to do with detox of the ears and nose area into the mucus that leaves the body.
