T TxLonghorn High End Bro Platinum Sep 18, 2001 #3 I would shoot for a gram/day. ALA is some good stuff. Also, you can get it at www.kilosports.com Something like $70 for a thousand caps at 100mg/ea.

T TxLonghorn High End Bro Platinum Sep 18, 2001 #5 I would split it up over your meals. Like 1/3, 1/3, and 1/3 of your dosage, whatever it is you want to do. I wouldn't do less than 600mg/day, but like I said, you get much better results from a gram/day.

T Trevdog High End Bro Platinum Sep 19, 2001 #6 I take 200 mg with breakfast, 400 mg. with my post workout shake, 200 mg. with the next meal, and 200 mg. with the next meal. I also wouldn't go below 500 mg. per day and I doubt that 250 will give any benefit. Kilosports is the best deal I have found by far.
