TD ALA: Am I doing this right?

[Guest guest]

A question for those of you doing ALA transdermally: I mixed up about 25 mg ALA

with a little Nivea Creme and massaged it onto my son's back. The lotion rubs in

well and disappears, but the ALA leaves a grainy residue on the skin. Is that

normal?

I expected the ALA to be absorbed to the point where it's not visible. Could it

be the brand of ALA I'm using (Natrol from iHerb)? Or do I need a runnier

lotion? The Nivea is on the thick side:

We're following the AC protocol.

Thanks,
