I am taking 1 600 mg 2x day ALA without any results. Should I up the dosage or does it take months to start to work?

Hi @bustrbrwn22 check with your manufacturer. Mine said to not exceed 600mg in a day. I see other product available by other manufacturers that do exceed 600mg. In my research for neuropathy, I had read the 600mg dose was recommended. I had taken it until the bottle was completed, a four month monthly. I didn’t realized how much it had help until I stopped taking it. Although ALA does not provide a cure for neuropathy, it does decrease the symptom of burning in my limbs particularly my calf and foot. I believe it helps to take the ALC(Acetyl-L- Carnitine) also shortly after the ALA. I started the ALC a few weeks ago. I take mine in the mornings because it can interfere with sleep. I have experimented and found methods that have decreased the burning in my stomach caused by the ALA. Good luck.Toni

Hi Bustrbrwn, I have been taking ALA 600 mg. 2x/day for over 2 yrs. plus the ALC 500mg. 2x/day and am sure it helps my symptoms. Are you taking the R-Ala which is better absorbed? Helen
