Gonna try r-ala for the first time.

[Mike P.T.]

r-ALA or ALA will only make you tired if you do not eat enough carbs for the amount of ALA and end up with low blood sugar. Check out this thread: http://boards.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=166238

r-ALA is supposedly 3x as effective as racemix(s and r) ALA. I just started using r-ALA , but have been taking 300-600mg ALA with meals for a couple months and do see a difference when taking 1200mg+ per day.

I actually dropped bodyfat using Insulin and ALA for 1 month.

That's what I was thinking. Since I will be doing low carbs throughout. Still haven't gotten ahold of some though will be though soon enough.
