Default ALA - alpha lipoic acid

Thanks again Dan... you very been very very helpful

What is your opinion on Alpha Lipoic Acid?
I have read a lot about its benefits, and I am thinking of adding it to my list of supplements. I just want to be clear on a couple of things first though:
1. Exactly what kind of supplement is it... is it a type of fat (like flax-seed) and if so, what is its caloric value; or is it similar to vitamins?
2. Can you recommend a dosage for ALA on a CKD, both for low-carb and carb-up days?

I posted this question in the daily-lowcarber forum, but I didn't get any responses, and since you are so knowledgable on so many things, I decided to ask you
Sorry for all the questions, but I just want to get everything straight.

Again, thank you so much for all the information
