Darlene Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Does anyone take alpha lipoic acid? if so, how much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sue1234 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 I can't take it as I had read a few places it lowers blood sugar, and I already fight low blood sugar. I initially was going to try it for my ear ringing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psalm 23 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 I take 600mg of Alpha Lipoic Acid daily. I had been cautioned that there was the possibility of an increase in blood pooling but I have not found that to be the case with me. I believe it may help decrease my neuropathic pain to a small degree. If you do a search you will find other postings on ALA. Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imapumpkin Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 ALA was recommended by my integrative medicine doctor. 200 mg. I took it a few times and didn't really notice any improvement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
looneymom Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Tyler tried the dosage at 600 mg for 3 months and he could not tell any difference with pain. I am going to try this with him again after we get his methylation cycle working better. From what I'm reading, if this cycle is not working properly than nutrients and supplements cannot be absorbed by the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goschi Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 I take 300mg daily. My neuro thinks it should help with my small fiber neuropathy. I still don't feel anything (no side effects too!), but maybe I need to wait some more time. However, another doc told me recently ALA is only thought to help with diabetic polyneuropathy. (Don't have that...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
