ALA sides

[ROLGOR]

I have taken ALA as a supplament for years but this morning I tried it at high dose for the first time. I got sick as hell. head ache and pucking my guts out. it was either the ALA or I got food poisening. I don't think it was food but not sure. anyone ever have this reaction? I took 1500 mg with breakfast.

I'm really feeling like shit. Please give me some input on this problem.

I do not have experience with regular ALA but I have taken up to 600mg of R-ALA before a meal with no types of problems.

Thanks ice. I will try a lower dose. I was going to try the R-ALA Scout but decided to go with the cheaper ALA. perhaps saving a few bucks wasn't such a good idea. I understood I should shoot for 3000 mg a day. To high a total?
Thanks again

This is one of the things I have posted a couple time here but it's worth saying again.
r-ALA is naturally produced by your body. It is not a foreign substance to your system so you don't get the sides you do with ALA that has a synthetic version in it. The synthetic is what causes heart burn, hives, diarrhea, etc.
This is not a place you want to try to save money. People who would never think of buying generic food products at the store to save money are buying a cheaper version of a supp that may end up making them ill or proving ineffective. This just doesn't make sense.
ROLGOR- I hope you are feeling better bro.

Hmm, I've seen a few people post about getting heartburn from r-ALA also.....

I have to but I have seen the vast majority of people say it was no longer a problem. Like me. Have you seen people post the got sick, or allergic reactions from r-ALA? hmm?

Did you take the 1500 mg before or after your breakfast? I always take ALA BEFORE I eat and have no problems.
If your shooting for 3000 mg...you could go 1000 mg with each of your highest carb meals.

I have the ALA in powder form. I mixed it in a small shake, drank it down then ate breakfast immedietly. I will wait another day.(have not eaten for 24 hours, stomach still queasy) Then I will try a smaller dose. Thanks for all the input guys.
