Hey everybody:
I was wondering if you could suggest an optimal dose for cognition enhancing purposes of these two substances.
Both daily and per dose suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Uhh, for cognition enhancing, I would not primarily think of these two compounds. They can support other stronger cognition enhancing substances in the sense that R-ALA is mostly protective and ALC is mostly energetic.
There is no such thing as a general optimal dose because every body is unique. So I think the best thing to do is to experiment what the optimal dose for you personally is at this moment in your life. Variables you need to take into account are: other supplements you also take, age, body weight, personal health condition, (chronic) ailments & diseases, allergies/sensitivities, and the expected daily activity (how much physical and mental activity?).
From what I read in the several literature and tests, for ALA, try a dose ranging from 50 mg - 400 mg a day, for ALC ranging from 250 mg - 2 gram a day.
I wanted to know from those of you who experiment with this substance if it is noticeble subjectively.
If there are effects, please explain them and their duration.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

@shpongled: What sulphur smell do you speak of?
Thanks.
I am 25; do you think 450 mg RALA per day is a good dosage?

The best dose would be 1000mg of R-ALA. And in addition with GLA/CLA (synergistic effect).

CLA is not a good idea for anyone concerned with health.

Why do you say this David? Are you sure we are referring to the same CLA? Conjugated lineolic acid, right?

Hey AOLsupport.
You said
"ALCAR has a longer half-life, but should still best be taken at least twice daily. It should be taken away from food and from other quaternary amines (including DMAE, choline, and TMG) as they share a transporter system in the brain and GI and will compete for absorption if taken together."
How many hours appart should they be taken?

As a supplement, biotin even in large doses is ~100 percent bioavailable [12]. Taking a multivitamin that provides biotin should provide one with enough to avoid suboptimal status. The general recommendation for biotin supplementation to prevent deficiency due to ALA is 1 mg or more per 100 mg of ALA. If one is taking more than a gram of pantothenic acid daily, a biotin supplement providing at least 1 mg is warranted, and 3-5 mg may be best to stay on the safe side (it should also be noted that biotin and pantothenic acid exhibit a synergistic relationship under some circumstances). Because large amounts adminstered at a time might increase renal excretion, biotin is more effective when taken as two or three smaller doses throughout the day [12].

Is there any contradiction between these two substances (for example competition for transport receptors etc.) when attempting to administer doses of R-ALA and ALCAR at the same time for convenience?
For example, if one's regimen was:
R-ALA 1g (333mg 3 divided doses )
ALCAR 2g (1000mg 2 divided doses)
Is taking 333mg of R-ALA simultaneously with 1000mg of ALCAR advisable if maximum absorption of both is important?

This might be a little off-topic. Is SMI2LE's RALA have only +R Alpha Lipoic Acid? Or is bad negatively charged ALA in their? What about K-R-Ala? I just got some.

Smi2le's KRALA is Gernova's KRALA. Check out geronova.com to find out more about KRALA.
If you got the KRALA, then you need 600 mg KRALA to equal 200 mg RALA. So to get an effective anti aging/cognitive enhancement dose, take 600 mg KRALA 3 times a day. If you got the plain RALA, then 200 mg = 200 mg.
