ALA f'n heartburn..ughhh

[DROCK]

anyone know how to keep this side to a minimum? man I tell ya I take the 500mg caps even with food and lots of water and before long I have to start chomping on some gaviscon (antacid)..that blows...

Most people who have switched to the r-ALA don't have that side anymore. Like me.

I had the same problem. I took it with tums and it helped. Also tums is a good source of Calcium.

I would consider the rala however I have plenty of regular ala, don't want to toss it....tums work for me to but gaviscon is way stronger and more expensive..It doesn't happen all the time so I think I'll pay closer attention to which foods seem to absorb or slow down the relase rate..

I take ALA ....then eat something a few minutes later.....in that order. As long as the pills go down first...I have no troubles.

I have also heard of people getting heartburn from r-ALA too. Just to a lesser degree....probably because they're taking less.
