Is one brand any different than an other?

Hard to say...I try to stick with reputable companies, as some supplements have been found to have far less of the product than advertised.

I would have no idea. I would say that with all products going into my body I stick with brand names. The vitamin is used by my wife suffering (literally along with me) her 12th YEAR of menopause. Medical specialists cannot find a reason for hot flashes up to every 15 minutes, less than 5 hours sleep. She has been taking this brand, for we use Amazon Subscription for many items. She says she feels much better, the hot flashes are not as intense nor as often. Trust me, a hotflash literally heats the whole bedroom and living in FL we have a/c and fans going 24/7. Try it. This is the best price I have found too. I would have no idea. I would say that with all products going into my body I stick with brand names.

One brand is different from another. If the manufacturing company is not certified by the USP or GMP then I would steer clear. Since supplements are not regulated by the FDA, quality can become an issue. I just added this product to my Amazon subscribe and save because according to the Natural Products Accociation, Natrol is GMP certified. I will see if it works for my neuropathy (nerve damage).

Not sure. This is a good brand for other products so I figured the ALA would be good too.

I have not noticed much difference between brands, and usually buy by price and shipping costs. Just be sure to take at least 300mg per day. I currently take 600mg/day. Hope this helps.

My Onc wanted me to get 300mg. I use this brands' Glucosomine, so stayed with it. My Mother-in-law uses Solgar brand which is what I bought her at local health store so she sticks with it but 600 mg dosage. I can't say one way or the other if one is better then another.

My endocrinologist recommended several brands of alpha lipoic acid. Natrol was on the list. I tried several, but not all of them. Some contained fillers that my digestive system could not tolerate. However let me emphasize that he told me on my most recent visit that it has been found that the soft-gel capsule is absorbed better, therefore when I finish the product which I have on hand, I will switch. I do know that the Natrol does work.

I honestly do not know. But the Natrol was effective for me (my burning tongue improved noticeably whenever I increased the dose), readily available, and more affordable than several other brands, so I didn't see a reason to try anything else. Whatever brand you go with, I recommend starting with a low dose and working up, and be sure to have your doctor monitor you, as ALA can have side effects and interactions.

Yes they are. I hadn't noticed before but in responding to your question, the brand name is indeed there.

As far as I know, they are the same except for the slight price difference. I have noticed that sometimes the same product can be listed more than once on Amazon with similar, slight price differences; often, both listings have the same seller! I usually buy the one with the lowest price.

Well, the difference is in the Price and brand. I never used Evans. I have read customers reviews and I think that both items are equal.

Ah, no. But, I have tried several different brands, and it is the one I kept.
1377121
I don't know if there are any differences, as I didn't look at any other vendor besides Amazon.

I've talked to someone who owns both, and read numerous reviews. No one can find a material difference. Seems to be a case of OEM rebranding.
1791423
from what I've read, they are the same...the reason for the name difference is due to who ever is selling it. Google this question and see what you find out but I think they are the same...which is the bottom line

I don't know. I read the info on both and no differences were indicated. Made me wonder if it was different suppliers.

You are correct. There is absolutely no difference in the active ingredients (and none in the inactive ingredients that I can see, either). I purchase based on price. Usually I buy the generic, but in this case, the name brand was less expensive. I don't notice any difference in the effectiveness.

I've read there are differences between them, but I've only tried this brand based upon such outstanding reviews!!! I'll continue to buy from this company!!

The only difference is the brand name for they are manufactured and produced in the same factory. Thanks and have a great day.

There is not a difference in the indredients, they are the same, just different packaging.

Brandon, I got the one with the fancy label. However, you may compare the contents for differences, if any.

I've had no trouble but I'd wager there's a viscosity difference between brands

I have not tried the other product so I have no idea what the difference is.

I cannot say because I do not know anything about the other product. I would suggest calling either one or both manufacturers and ask them if their product is also marketed under another name.
