ALA and r-ALA are the same.

[Animal]

Fonz did the research and 600mg of ALA is better than ANY amount of r-ALA.

Supplement #4: R-ALA

Dosages: 200mg R-ALA, 400mg R-ALA , 600mg R-ALA.
(From AF www.anabolicfitness.net
Food = 500kcal, 6g Fat, 14.3g protein, 98g Carbs (Sugars = 47.5g)

Nutrient breakdown = 11% Fat/ 11% Protein / 78% carbs (Fibre = 1.5g)

Dose 1: 200mg R-ALA

Initial BG measurement: 70mg/dl Temp: 36.9C(98.4F)

Area under positive BG Curve(Taking initial BG measurement as the horizontal) =

20 + 10 + 15 + 5 + 2.5 + 2.5 = 55 Units Squared

Dose 2: 400mg R-ALA

Initial BG measurement: 70mg/dl Temp: 36.8C(98.2F)

T+1hr Measurement: 95mg/dl Temp: 36.8C(98.2F)

T+4hrs Measurement: 60mg/dl Temp: 36.9C(98.4F)

Area under positive BG Curve(Taking initial BG measurement as the horizontal) =

12.5 + 10 + 7.5 + 5 = 35 Units squared

Area under negative BG Curve(Taking initial BG measurement as the horizontal) =

0.5(10) = 5 Units squared

Dose 3: 600mg R-ALA

Initial BG measurement: 80mg/dl Temp: 36.9C(98.4F)
(Eat food as described above)

T+1hr Measurement: 100mg/dl Temp: 36.9C(98.4F)

T+3hrs Measurement: 75mg/dl Temp: 36.9C(98.4F)

T+4hrs Measurement: 70mg/dl Temp: 37.0C(98.6F)

Area under positive BG Curve(Taking initial BG measurement as the horizontal) =

10 + 10 + 5 + 3.33 = 28.33 Units squared

Area under negative BG Curve(Taking initial BG measurement as the horizontal) =

5 + 2.5 + 0.83 = 8.33 Units squared

R-ALA Analysis:
(Units squared)
Positive Area Negative Area Total Area

Dose 1(200mg): 55.0 0.0 55.00

Dose 2(400mg): 35.0 5.0 40.00

Dose 3(600mg): 28.33 8.33 36.67

Comparison to Placebo:

Placebo: 76.57 units squared(mean total Area)

(600mg R-ALA)(36.67 Units Squared) 36.67/76.57 = (1-47.89%) = 52.11% reduction

(400mg R-ALA)(40.00 Units Squared) 40.0/76.57 = (1-52.24%) = 47.76% reduction

(200mg R-ALA)(55.00 Units Squared) 55.0/76.57 = (1-71.83%) = 28.17% reduction

Supplement #5: ALA

Dosages: 600mg ALA, 1200mg ALA , 1800mg ALA.



Food = 500kcal, 6g Fat, 14.3g protein, 98g Carbs (Sugars = 47.5g)

Nutrient breakdown = 11% Fat/ 11% Protein / 78% carbs (Fibre = 1.5g)

Dose 1: 600mg ALA

Initial BG measurement: 65mg/dl Temp: 36.7C(98.1F)

T+4hrs Measurement: 70mg/dl Temp: 37.0C(98.6F)

Area under positive BG Curve(Taking initial BG measurement as the horizontal) =

17.5 + 22.5 + 17.5 = 57.5 Units Squared

 

[Fonz]

You need remedial math.

Look at the numbers. 1800mg ALA caused a 47.76% drop in BG.

And 400mg R-ALA caused a 47% drop.

While 600mg R-ALA caused a 52% drop.

As can be CLEARLY seen R-ALA is 3-4X more potent mg per mg in clearing glucose from the blood stream.

Animal selling ALA now? Why the hell is he out to discredit r-ala?

 

[Ulter]

It's not the supp bro. It's me he hates. It goes way back. Just ignore him.

 

[variation]

and glucose clearance isn't the only factor that makes r-ala differ from ala in terms of benefits...

 

[Dr. M]

You can't really blame animal for what he's doing...

(cue the narrator)
He was a street-smart fish-out-of-water, stuck in a world he never made...
(tell the narrator to beat it)

Uh, actually, he just has a hate-on for ulter, and he's trying to cook up facts and figures using Fonz's study...
... and Fonz himself has pointed out how wrong animal is on TWO separate occasions regarding the SAME issue!

Seriously, I think it's time that we put this baby to bed.

Whats a good source of ALA? Is the ALA in flax seed oil the same?

 

[macrophage69alpha]

Whats a good source of ALA? for r-ala -- glucorellR Is the ALA in flax seed oil the same? NO
