Guest guest Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Hello Group, Is ALA supposed to be taken on an empty stomach? What would be a very minimal amount to start with every 3 hours, i.e. 10 mg 8 times per day? Is every 4 hours acceptable?

On a chelation round, people end up taking it with and without food.--------Jackie What would be a very minimal amount to start with every 3 hours, i.e. 10 mg 8 times per day? -----------You do have your fillings removed, right? You are supposed to wait 3 months after amalgam removal before starting ALA. Alot of people start at about 12.5mg every 3 hours. Some are fine with that, and some have to go lower, even 6 or less. Everyone is different. So 10mg would be a reasonable amount to try.------Jackie Is every 4 hours acceptable? ----------The general rule for ALA is every 3 hours or less during the day, and it can be ok to stretch it out to every 4 hours at night, to get a little more sleep. Some people feel better on more frequent dosing, like every 2 to 3 hours, and do not do well trying to stretch it out to 4. So it is an individual thing that you have to experiment with and figure out what's best for you.----------Jackie Thanks, Glenn Recent Activity a.. 11New Members b.. 3New Links Visit Your Group Yahoo!

Is it important to have the exact dose each time. Yes, For instance can I take > 20mg then 40mg, etc, etc. > No. That would cause too much redistribution which would lead to worsening. > The reason I ask is because I have liquid gel ALA 200 mg each and it would > be almost impossible to get the exact amount each dose. 200 mg is way too much for starting out and dividing down to small doses introduces too much error. When you get to the point of needing 50 mg it would be ok to divide 200 mg by 4 but better to buy 50mg, or the right size that you need at the time. When starting out it would be better to find 25 mg caps and divide in two for 12.5 mg or by 5 for 5 mg. See ALA sources in the files or links sections.
