Jesse,

Omega-3, and lycopene can be taken with food.
I am confused by the 120mg Omega-3? What kind is that?
Fish oil and flax oil come in 1000mg capsules.

Alpha lipoic acid is not well absorbed with food present. It should be taken on an empty stomach ...and 300mg is really a low dose.
The studies were done with 600mg to 1800mg a day.

The reason R-lipoic does not appear in studies is that it is relatively new. The body does not recognize the S-form, which results during commercial chemical manufacture of the the racemic older form of ALA. So the thinking was to not include the S-form and so the R-only became available when it could be separated out affordably. The stabilized R-(NaRALA) which is the newest of all, is highly soluble and quickly absorbed. I prefer this type personally, based on the chemical facts about it.
