Not very long ago i added ALA to my supplements, i only purchased the older type of ALA [not the stronger R - lipioc], i started on the one capsule of 600mg a day with no problems and have found great benefits in energy and the little burning i get on vary rare occasions has completely disappeared.

However, after a few weeks i tried to increase my dosage to 1200 mg a day and broke out in a awful very itchy red rash with the actual skin was peeling in the affected area, so i give it a rest for a while and the rash disappeared, went back to the original dosage and everything was fine again, i tried a second time and the same deal happened.

I am very happy with what it has done for me and i know i should be content but i can't understand why this happens, most of us know that it has been used in Europe for decades for Diabetic PN in much larger dosages than i can handle, but i can't seem to find any answers to why this happens, so any advise would be very much appreciated.
thanks
