Supplements and synergy (WAS: Alpha lipoic acid and Acetyl-L-Carnitine)

[Guest guest]

Oh, I might add that you can waste your money taking supplements if you

don't know what other factors need to be present for the supplements to

work. I know of people that take calcium but still have flunked their bone

density test because they're low magnesium and the body needs magnesium,

must like it needs Vitamin D, in order to utilize the calcium.

 

For maximum results with alpha lipoic acid (ALA), you should not only take

the carnitine but also Co-Q-10 (I find the liquid sublingual type most

effective); magnesium and Vitamin B complex.
