final word on ALA ...

[XzRzX]

Normal ALA maxes out at roughly 3000mg/day for me.

If one where to graph the dosage vs return graph for
normal ALA, then the graph would be linear up to
abpout 2000mg/day and then level off from y=2000mg to
Y=3000mg.

If the relationship is linear(slope(m) =1) from 0 to 2000,
thern after that for every 100mg you add, you'd only use
an average of 33mg per 100mg consumed.

This of course is VASTLY over-simplified. The actual relationship would involve taking the derrivative of the function of the line
at different spatial points(x,y) from y=2000 to y=3000.

I'm going to start at 700mg r-ala(Equivalent to roughly
2100mg normal) and see.

fonz ... how are you going to spread out the r-ALA in your meals ... around 100mg-200mg per meal ?

that is probably ideal.. half life is rather short .. so frequent dosing is a good idea...

though some people may still just want to use for post work out..

Just where are these dose sizes coming from? i have one of those Woodland Health Guide booklets, and states that for maintaining health doses of 40 to 50 mg a day (for maintanance) 100 mg a day for chronic conditions, and Diabetics 200 to 300mg a day. and states that AIDS patients can go over that dose but not specified.

I;m not trying to be a smart ass, I really would like to get some information on dosing, is there some kind of table/formula for example, so many mg ALA to so many grms carbs?

Also what brands on the market actually contain the r-ala? i have been taking Jarrow 300mg sustained release 3X a day. and do feel "something" when taking this amount.
