No. Not at all.

There have been numerous reports posted lately about how a Keto style diet (high in proteins that are rich in good fats (omega 3s), low carb - I never purchase these from a typical supermarket as the proteins I consume are generally not available from a supermarket) is being found to be highly effec...

I missed that on the last supplement I posted. Thanks for the correction. You are correct, cheaper is not always better with supplements. Likewise, more expensive is not always better either. There is no real regulation in the supplement industry. The FDA is technically in charge of regulating suppl...

The point of my post is that the supplement I linked to had more mg per capsule than the other similar products listed for around the same price and is really not much different in cost to 'regular' R-Lipoic supplements. The Doctor's Best is only 200mg per capsule, Life Extension's is 240mg. Jaded h...

"AFAIK R-ALA has a poor bioavailability of 30% while Na-R-ALA has increased ~40% bioavailability but contains ~70% R-ALA. For example from 100mg of R-ALA you absorb ~30mg while from 100mg of Na-R-ALA that contains 70mg R-ALA you absorb (30X1,40=)42% x 70mg = 30mg, so you should take MORE Na-R-A...

Still it is interesting that the R lipoic acid I just paid a fortune for isn't well absorbed. R Lipoic Acid should not be overly expensive. Which one are you referring to? What is the dosage you are taking? And possibly most importantly, is it stabilized? Stabilized R-Alpha Lipoic Acid has been sho...

I have been taking a few supplements, maybe 3, with Bioperene added to them for years. They always only have small amounts of it. No issues whatsoever. Plus, I add freshly ground pepper intentionally to most of my foods for flavor. Again, no issues, ever. According to this article, it has numerous v...

Since Allithiamine is readily found in many common foods, in addition to a supplement, it makes sense (to me) to also include as many as these foods as possible in my diet. Which I do. And have been for years. I was not aware of this, frankly. Allithiamine is found naturally in garlic, onions, and o...

I am not disputing the validity of the studies linked to above, but I am adding to the comment I made previously that studies are often biased and are not necessarily fully accurate. And there is usually contradictory information on just about everything studied. Studies are often flawed. I found th...

I wasn't aware of this form of B1. Thanks for the info. I am going to add this one to the two B1s I already take. I found some that is quite reasonably priced, about the same as other B1 supplements. FWIW, there are many healthy foods that have B1 in them. I consume most of these already. Although t...

One thing I have learned about clinical trials and studies is that for the most part a single study often cannot be trusted . There are numerous reasons for this. And I have found that for any given topic, there are generally always positive and negative results. So, I always do my own intensive res...

This is the folate supplement I take, 1700mcg (the 'complex' only has 400mcg). As I mentioned, I prefer not to buy 'complex' supplements because they never have high amounts of the included ingredients, typically just small amounts that are often insufficient: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UD...

@DIM Unfortunately, as is typical in 'complex' type supplements, there are only very, very, very small amounts of each component. I prefer to order each one separately in the strength I desire . And I have purchased different supplements from Source Natural and was very pleased with all of them. And...

Hopefully that error you found in the artwork, is just that, an error in the artwork and not incorrect formulation of the supplement.

I take the capsules:
