Ok I got my ALA today. I took one as soon as I got home.
The label: Lipoic Acid (Alpha) 300mg GR.
Says I can take it once or twice a day. Hrm! I guess it depends on how I respond on 1 a day, and if I don't find that enough, increase to 2?
I have 60 capsules to play with in any case from the compounding lab.
