I take 2 capsules of the double strength, which is 200mg. I take one mid morning and one mid afternoon, with water. I just followed the recommended dose on the bottle.
That's one of the two sites I posted. What I still don't know is how much I should take for neuropathy. 6 capsules? Seems a bit excessive.
A chemist told me that ALA yes has both but when its created the 2 came hand in hand so has to be chemically seperated which is expensive. S-ala is a byproduct of ALA but not made as s-ala.Alpha-lipoic acid consists of two different forms (isomers) that have vastly different properties. The "R" form is the biologically active component (native to the body) that is responsible for lipoic acid's phenomenal antioxidant effect. The "S" form is produced from chemical manufacture and is not very biologically active. Typical alpha-lipoic acid supplements consist of the "R" and "S" form in a 50/50 ratio. That means a 100 mg alpha-lipoic acid supplement is providing 50 mg of the biologically active "R" form. The human body normally produces and uses the "R" form of lipoic acid. This active form, R-lipoic acid, significantly supports healthy inflammatory response, is a potent free-radical scavenger and has been shown to be more potent than the combined "R" and "S" forms that comprise most alpha-lipoic acid supplements.
In other words, the R-ALA is a natural form as found in our bodies, and by buying the R-ALA you get almost 100% of the benefit (minus whatever they use for the coating). In the ordinary ALA you only get 50% of the natural form (R-ALA) and 50% of the chemically manufactured form, S-ALA, which is not particularly active. So with the ordinary capsules you need twice as many for the same benefit and also fill your body with chemicals.

as they are quite expensive £20+ - the most I've ever paid for any supplement.
Still not cheap, but slightly cheaper than yours

Well I'm approaching the end of the 2nd month of taking one per day 300mg RALA. No change in my symptoms that I can detect. Do you think I should have seen an improvement by now, should I try another two months, or is it looking as if it isn't going to work for me?
My neuropathy symptoms are redness across the top of my feet, and a general numbness, worse at night. Or more noticeable.
I also get cramps in my legs and feet now, but not sure if I should expect any change in that from RALA.
