I've been reading up on ALA and have yet to find a clear dosage. I've seen anywhere from 200-1000/mgs a day.I just picked up some 100/mg capsules at GNC, does this mean I take up to ten a day?
How much ALA is beneficial??

I would say ballpark, the start dose for a begginer is 100mg ALA w/ every meal. Which amounts to about 600mg/day considering a 6-meal-plan.

Dosage....
If you're the average joe, just take 100mg/day. Increase as needed.
Bodybuilders use ALA for a different reason. Unless you eat A LOT, 1,000mg/day is the max you should generally take (otherwise risk hypoglycemia). I'm using r-ALA from anabolicfitness. They say 300mg in meals with over 150g carbs and 200mg in meals between 100-150g carbs (ballpark figures). In a 3,500-4,500 calorie/day diet, you'd still take 10 100mg capsules in a day.

Yup, it so happens that after about 4-5 g the stomach walls go through the same motions as they would when you are throwing up. Happened to me before at 15g (but never less) because I was testing it out, so it does happen.
next time, don't eat too much
