Experiance with Alpha Lipoic Acid & Ribose after fixing methylation?

Messages

I've already been through the Cutler protocol so I would prefer not to rehash the issues from taking ALA with Mercury issues.

My primary interest is how your body responded when you added ALA and ribose after you had addressed your methylation issues.

Types of things I've been trying to find more info on:

  1. Did you find you needed noticeably more B vitamins with the ALA?
  2. Any difference in outcomes with greater than 100mg ALA?
  3. Did ALA or ribose make more of a difference in energy?
