Sorry, just trying out my ddc imitation...

Taking ALA on no carbs can cause hypoglycemic reactions, depending on the dosage.

This was actually discussed not too long ago. If you do a search, you should be able to find it.

I think I brought up the dangers of this about 2 weeks ago...it can cause a very strong hypo. reaction when on low-carb...

Keep it to the carb-up.
