Yes, the bodybuilding community uses ALA and carnitine quite a bit.
I've started slowly increasing my RALA to 2 a day (200mg).
Splitting the dose up to 100mg in the morning and 100mg at 4pm before dinner, is working out so far.
I've added tryptophan again at night 500mg...and that is helping me sleep. I also made a "magnet pad" with 4 one inch neodyms in it to lie on in bed, to help my back pain. It seems to be working well. The hand sewing was tough on my hand, so it is wrist brace time for a couple of weeks at night for my carpal tunnel. I am experimenting with the pad style, and have some new mags coming from Amazon. My mix of PN and arthritis is quite painful in winter, esp when there are storms and Lows like these past few days.
