i have been on a modified vitamin & supplement hiatus for the past 15 months starting in july '13, after a heart attack. now that i am "stabilized" & off plavix i want to get back to my real life & focus on my CIPN.

last week I took 100 mg RLA but it wrecked my GI tract so i want to go back to ALA. i have also stayed up to date on b12 & vit d3.

so what am i missing and when & how much should i take (with or without food)?

back a couple of years ago, the ALA seemed to help a lot. the label says "with meals" but i seem to recall that it should be taken on an empty stomach. any info on this?

thanks for any clarification, info, advice, etc.
