Dextrose and ALA

[cure]

Where exactly can these be bought besides being online? Can we find any at a drug store?

I also wanted to know....I prepare my Shake before i go to the gym. I don't mix in my glutamine with it just my creatine. Once my workout is over i drink my shake and throw down the glutamine with water since i've read glutamine should not be mixed with liquids for long periods of time. What i wanted to know is if i can take ALA caps and open them up and put them directly in the shake as well?

i've heard board members say you can get dextrose at a brewery i think, but it's very cheap at supplementsdirect.com so i don't have to go looking around.

And as far as your 2nd question... why would you want to break open the ALA caps? You do know that oxygen and light damage the properties of ALA... so why open up the caps?

I used to break open the ala caps and pour them into my protien shake. I would have to add a touch of vodka in order to null the taste becuase otherwise the ala would sting the back of my throat.

just take the caps... YOU CAN GET DEXTROSE CHEAP AT A BEER OR WINE BREWING STORE... THEY ARE EVERYWHERE... IS SHOULD COST YOU ABOUT 1-2$ PER LB (IN CA ITS A LITTLE LESS ABOUT .80 PER LB)

vodka in a protine shake, WTF ?

alochol severly hampers the digestion of proteins, probably one of the worst things you can do.

ALA is a tuff one to get down. I remember when Cell-tech first came out. Yes, Yes, I bought a container of it. Anway, I could barely drink that. Oh man, it tasted horrible. Never bought it again. Anyway, I would suggest to buy the caps and swallow the caps. You can get the ALA in your system a lot faster then attempting to drink a shake with broken ALA cap powder in it. I dont know about you guys. Sometimes you have to be tuff and suck it up no matter what something might taste like, but if you can do it an easier way such as taking the capsules why bother the other way. Just my 2 cents.

there's nothing wrong w/ the caps and no need what so ever to open the caps up. If anything it's better to leave them in the caps.

Ok, i'll just take the caps. Just thought it would take longer to absorb in cap form then if it would be directly in the mix. Should i just down the ala then mix creatine, glutamine, dextrose into my shake? Would that be the most productive way to do it? What i was doing up to know is taking my creatine and glutamine in water 1st, then 20 minutes later down some juice then a shake.

OMG, i can't find dextrose anywhere but online. Online they charge a crazy amount for hardly anything. That's nuts. I bought my ALA but how many do i take after workout? It says take 3 caps a day as supplementation so i'm figuring taking 2 after workout. Let me know guys.
