a basic ALA question

[Lao Tzu]

is it best to take ALA before, during or after a meal? i've been taking it during because i hear it can cause heartburn & gastritis on an empty stomach, but i don't know if it gets to the insulin receptors on my muscles in time if i do that. Does it matter?

I take mine immediately before.

Just prior to eating.

i eat fast....so i take it right after i eat, or towards the end of eating. sometimes right before too....but the carbs aren't gonna hit right off the bat...whereas the ALA will be there in minutes. so i figure give the carbs a chance to get into the stomache for digestion first.

right before eating works great for me
