I would like to take ALA at a tiny dose of 3 or even 1mgs per dose.

Is there anyway I can make doses this small?

25mg capsule. If you divided it by eight, that would be close to 3mg. Maybe

someone else will respond if they are doing this. The only other thing I can

think of, is that alot of those EmergenC drinks contain 1mg of ALA, but I don't

think you want to be drinking those every 3 hours.

Otherwise, here's a post by Nahla that says her doctor will make capsules in

1mg size, but I think it is DMSA and ALA combo. And I think in other posts she

has said that he will sell it to other people, might be worth checking

out.--------Jackie

I give my son 4 mg but started at 3. He is 1 1/2 yrs old. I bought the 25mg

capsulues and just opened and divide with a razor and put each dose in an empty

veg cap. It takes about 15 minutes to do a 3 day rounds worth. Not as hard as I

thought. Give yourself a little bit longer the first time : )

RE: how to get the smallest dose of ALA

You can have a compounding pharmacist do this. Google compounding

pharmacists, and ask a few of them for quotes. Then please let us know what

you found out!
