Lipoic acid dosage depends on which form you use.

If you use the new stabilized NaRALA you only need 100mg a day.
Take on an empty stomach. (Doctor's Best is one brand)

If you use the old original ALA alpha lipoic acid, you will need at least 600mg a day, and maybe more. This form is less reliably absorbed, and requires higher dosing. And it needs empty stomach also.

And yes, magnesium helps alot. Don't use magnesium OXIDE as it does not get absorbed into the blood stream and remains in the bowel and acts as a laxative. Aim at 1/2 the RDA to start.
