The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a fatty acid that functions like a vitamin, although it is not classified as a vitamin. As a coenzyme, ALA plays an important role in the metabolism of glucose that produces energy in cells. ALA also has antioxidant properties and thus is important for controlling free radicals. Because it is soluble in both water and fat, ALA is sometimes referred to as the "universal antioxidant."
Adult Use: Take 1 to 6 capsules daily, with or without food.

Keep in mind if you are loaded with heavy metals taking a lot of this stuff (over 50mg) could be a bad idea. Large doses will cause a massive redistribution of metals from safe places to unsafe places (brain, heart) which is why many people report adverse reactions. I use this product for chelation but I use it every three hours at 10mg. If I take 150mg I get too many mental symptoms. Potent and effective product.

Good product, though it only contains 100 mg, but the price is nice and it contains 120 capsules. Fine by me!

Varning! Do not take this if you have mercury stored in your body from ex amalgams or vaccination. ALA is a quite strong chelator for mercury. But only for about 3 hours because of it's short half-life. So if you take this strong dosage of ALA once a day, ALA will pick up mercury from tissue and blood and move it, and then drop it and cause damage in new places. It's not long enough half-life to be removed from body. Also bad for liver and kidneys that will receive a dosage of poison that's to large to handle. Google Andy Cutler Protocol. Be careful.

I started taking Alpha Lipoic Acid daily for neutopathy in my feet, which I've had for nearly 7 years. After about 3 days, my symptoms completely stopped! Just click sunshine for more details of the benefits that you can get!!!
