ala is a opinionated thing,you can use it if you want but I didnt bother,and I have talked to several guys at another board who dont use it either
all I took was a qbc complex which is quercitin(prevents allergic reaction) Bromelain,and vitc and I took a multi vitamin and drank 1.5-2 gals of water a day,no problems at all,but dont take my word for it as it will be different for everyone
