6 months before visible improvement? Well, guess I shouldn't stop. The side effects are certainly there, but mostly minor, though occasionally they can get big enough that they're impossible not to notice.
I just finished an "on" period, so I am in my "off" period. I'm thinking of shrinking my "off" periods to 4 days instead of 11. I wonder if I will lose weight faster if this is indeed related.
The sheer slowness is frustrating though.
Also of note, I am taking 1g of vitamin C with every single dose of ALA. And yet I didn't reach bowel tolerance that I know of (i.e. diarrhea). So that might mean something.
