Hi folks

I have been reading (courtesy of Ian Cook’s very helpful msezine) that a fairly large dose (1200mg per day) of Lipoic Acid can help to prevent brain shrinkage in people with SPMS.

I don’t seem to be able to see a supplier online who supplies a large enough dose to make any difference, does anyone know of such a supplier could you please let me know, you can message me; if it’s something that will breach forum’s regulations.

Thank you for any help you can give.
