I would like to know optimal dosages for these as well. Also, Is plain ALA suficient or would R-ALA be better? Thanks.

Just take ALA unless you are cutting.

Thanks. What about the dosages in the opening post,are they optoimal?

Looks good.

There is much debate about optimal dosages. I take 600mg/day ALA & 625mg/day Milk Thistle while on M1t. Those dosages seem OK to me. I will probably add NAC next time around.

Regular ALA is fine, just not as potent as R-ALA & you'll need to take more.

Thanks. Isn't the r isomer of ALA responsible for its glucose disposal properties? Besides that, their protective benifits should be equal right?

I have read some research studies that suggested ALA does not deliver the full beneficial effects of R form. Hopefully, others can shed more light on this.

There was a thread somewhere(maybe not on this board) which explained that regular ALA is about 50% r-ALA. I remembered optimal dosages was 300mg per 100g of carbs - not sure.

Yes,but you are talking in terms of glucose disposal. I'm asking about liver protection. At any rate, I already got ALA 300mg caps. They were cheap so I'll probably use 900mg/day post cycle.

No idea how useful ALA is for the liver compared to NAC or milk thistle.
