Try ALA + zinc the next time you have a viral infection (especially those in the sinus/throat/lungs) including, the recent infections most people are getting in 2020/2021 that starts with a C...wink, wink.The first two days into your infection, (take 2) 15mg of Zinc (L-Methionine) + (take 1) 100mg of ALA once a day (WITH FOOD preferably in morning) for two days, then drop down to 1 zinc + 1 ALA for 6 days.Then stop taking combination altogether...it is possible to take too much zinc. Too much zinc can/will damage your nervous system...look up on YouTube 'The man who ate 100 zinc/vit C gummies every day' - so DO NOT take this stuff every day.Maintenance dose after the 6 days to keep viruses at bay, is then 1 zinc + 1 ALA once a week (best taken in morning with food). If you get those white canker sores inside your mouth, stop taking combination, that means your body is at the zinc limit.Do NOT take this combination without food, or you WILL feel sick to your stomach!Basically, the zinc does the heavy lifting in fighting the virus, but the ALA helps the zinc enter the cell membrane. Your body makes ALA naturally, but our current diets don't help make much. Viruses have trouble replicating with zinc. ALA, is a carrier molecule for zinc that makes it last longer in your body and helps it penetrate cell walls.Did you know one of the side effects of a zinc deficiency is loss of smell and taste? What else has been known recently to cause a loss of smell and taste? Your doctor will tell you to take zinc if you get diagnosed with the Rona, they just don't know about the ALA connection to make it more effective.

Good so far. No complaints.

I purchased the 100 mg & 250mg vcaps as I take 600 mg's 2X a day and Amazon doesn't carry the NOW 600mg. The problem is that they both look the same. There are no markings on the capsules. They are both the same size and the same color. I accidentally dropped a couple of 100mg's into my pill container when I was filling my meds for the week. I had already put the 250's in the pill container and had no idea which was which. This could prove dangerous. I wish that NOW would label their capsules with the mg's. Otherwise, they would get 5 stars.Update: I have been taking 1200mg of ALA for 3 months now & about a week before the end of 3 months my neuropathy symptoms seemed to get better. I am now on a maintenance dose of 100 in am, 200 at lunch & 200 pm. It is now 2weeks later and the symptoms have improved. I also started Tai Chi 4 weeks ago & don't know if this has also contributed to the improved symptoms but I don't think I could have stood on my feet for 1 hour without paying the consequences of severe pain for the rest of the day. I have been sleeping better at night & have not awoken during the night with any severe pain episodes.
