You can divide the doses if you want. The whole purpose of the stabilized R form is to improve absorption. At the Linus Pauling site, they have a published comment that taking with food reduces absorption 30%.



... so with this said can I still achieve effective blood sugar control by just taking a single 200 mg dose of R-Lipoic acid rather than having to spread the dose out to 100mg twice a day which is inconvenient?

Thank you!
