I took it once a day for quite a while. Then my doctor told me again to up my dose for my POTS. I still need to take more but I am getting there. I try to get in 900, but need more. I just forget. I find it makes me have energy if I take it at night. Could be just me. Or could be my Benfotiamine. LOVE both of those supps.

Has any one ever tried taking ALA once a day against every 3 hours as suggested by Cutler?
When it comes to mercury toxicity, the opinions are rather diverse!
Arguably then, you could achieve the continuous affect by taking a sustained release ALA - say one in the morning, one at night?
