Physiological changes to expect during the first two months of the regimen

Plenty of pills to swallow here.  Many may prefer to use the top three, however for full potential,
the top six will cover most types of hair loss.  For anyone prepared to dive in 100%,
it's important to understand that a regimen like this has other advantages besides hair loss treatment
and prevention.  That being health and longevity.  The main purpose of this discussion is to "caution"
or prepare people for some of these internals.

First, I want to make clear that I take 100 milligrams of Stabilized R-Lipoic Acid per meal (do not take
on an empty stomach or too far in advance of a meal) - Reason, it will lower your blood sugar. However,
with a meal or just before is fine. This is the "natural" form of Lipoic Acid (R-Lipoic). I used to
take alpha lipoic acid (ALA) taking approximately 1,200 mgs of that a day in divided dosages, but
understand that is anywhere from 1/4 to 1/10th the power or less than the natural R-Lipoic!
Many brands of R-Lipoic lose their potency when exposed to above average temperatures, so opt
for a stabilized form of R-Lipoic known as K-RALA or N-RALA.

Using the combination of Stabilized R-Lipoic Acid & Acetyl L-Carnitine separately provides increased
energy, not just stimulated energy but real mitochondrial energy.

The effects of ALA and ALC together are augmented by each other (synergistic if you will). Because
of the anti-oxidant activity (which will regenerate/recycle) other anti-oxidants (like C & E).

Lipoic Acid tricks the hypothalamus at least for a little while into believing the body has recent
glucose activity, hence the appetite maybe lessened to an extent and you may experience
temporary weight loss as a result. Additional weight loss may occur due to significant antioxidant
activity. ALA or Lipoic Acid also raises Glutathione production, which is a "universal antioxidant,"
which promotes liver detoxification.

Many of these supplements, especially when used together is likely to create a virtual "tidal wave"
of detoxification.  Much of this will occur via the liver and other areas, which will bring on a kind of a
"cleanse."  Some whom are not familiar with this phenomena may see this as a "negative," totally
unrealizing that an incredible benefit is occurring.

The improvements in mental clarity, energy, elevation of mood and even libido maybe noticed.
You're not imagining it, these benefits are common and actually expected.

After a while, the body will "normalize" and not overtly detoxify as readily as before. You may
find better lipid and blood pressure and triglyceride readings I would count on it, at least in time.

*If a person is hypoglycemic, diabetic or has other pre-existing metabolic inefficiency (The usage
of lipoic acid has to be carefully rationed and used).

Other benefits from all of the above include decreased oily scalp, superior complexion, and
improvements relating to neurotransmitters.
