r-ALA depletes it.

1000mcg twice a day if you are having drying problems. To my knowledge this problem has only been experienced in a few women over 30 so far. ALA in any form may cause a depletion of biotin. But like I said usually only in women.

Yes, we have found there is a synergenic affect to using r-ALA and Biotin together. I can't explain why though.

ulter,

What do you mean by drying problems? And if I don't experience this, don't bother supplementing with biotin?

thanks bro,

BTW, there's also a synergenic effect between r-ALA and GLA correct?

Pretty sure! Do a search for Fonx's thread (CLA + GLA), I am pretty sure he discusses this too.

CLA is great with r-ALA.
If you aren't getting any dryness then you only need to supplement 250mcg-1000mcg/day to get added glucose disposal. Biotin does this in a different way but the results are very impressive.
