Hello, I was wondering on a dosage with r lipoic acid, I have been taking 100 mg a day for my P/N but have been reading online a lot of sites suggest 600mg a day. Do you think that is too much a day?

I take a single capsule of 600mg of Alpha Lipoic Acid for PN daily. I don't know if your stuff is the same thing or a variant. There's so much clever marketing for active ingredients etc, its difficult to tell.
Hope this helps. |

--is the active right sided molecular isomer isolated from the various types in alpha lipoic acid; for some reason, the left-sided isomer seems to be inactive in humans.
Part of the reason r lipoic acid was developed was that discovery and the fact that many people taking alpha lipoic acid did experience some acidic stomach/reflux side effects; it was thought that isolating the active isomer would enable people to take lower, less acidic doses for a similar effect. I've seen people claim that ration of 6:1 alpha vs. r for a similar effect--e.g., that taking 100mg of r produces a similar benefit as 600mg of alpha--but I suspect the ration is rather individual and one might need to experiment somewhat to find out. |

Hi Thank you for the reply, I will read what is on the bottle: Jarrow formulas R-ALpha Lipoic Acid plus Biotin 100 Mg Stabilized 60 veggie caps Superior bioavailability and activity, not sure on right sided or left sided isomer. I take one 100 mg cap each morning. A lot say to take acetyl-l- carnitine and benfotiamine along with it but I am not sure what that combo would do to benefit the r lipoic acids effectiveness.

--is just the chemical symbol for sodium; the R-lipoic Acid is complexed in a sodium molecule.
