Please Help : ALA dosage

[BigAndy]

Im confused over the amount of ALA to use, some sources say 300mg a day and others say as much as 1000mg a day. What im really asking is what is the maximum dosage , before an increase will have no added benefit, also how should one consume it, should you spread it out or take it all at once ie what is the max you can take at a single sitting , before an increase will have no added benefit

200 mg taken 20 minutes before 3 or 4 meals a day. You want to experiment with 600-800 mg per day overall to see which gets you the best results. Everyone is different. You can also take 200-300 mg of ALA with a post workout shake if it contains lots of carbs. Some people say not to, but if you take in lots of sugar, you must accomodate for insulin secretion rate....ALA can help avoid this pitfall.

Do not take more than about 300 mg at one time. It can cause your blood sugar to fall rapidly. Trust me, it can do this if you are not careful.
