Is r-ALA better than regular ALA?

[macrophage69alpha]

AS OF THIS MOMENT: 6 votes but only one post. MINE.. dont vote unless you intend to post


dont vote unless you have actually used both

so as of now 100% of people posting in this thread, who have actually used both racemic ala and r-ala, have gotten better results with r-ala.

btw- if you are actually going to post.. post why one was better than the other.. what effects were different better.. otherwise it really helps no one..

there are likely situations where racemic is better.. perhaps the KETO and perhaps for sheer bulking (though in my case this led to large fat gains with racemic.. have not tried with r-ala yet)

haha

I voted mac you know my pos.

ALA R is ok, but I am going to just go racemic

totally accepted

though think that basing your analysis on the presence of the side effects is not the "best method" of analysis.. but that it is after all .. very individual.. It seems to that the increased plasma insulin from the racemic is something that you find to be beneficial for you.. in which case.. if that is what you are looking for then it is a better choice.

btw- when you get a bit older.. think you'll be changing the tune.. well.. maybe

older I am 26 years old

So explain this to me mac., How did I get in this shape then if ALA was suppose to be makeing me fat all these years?

You can throw every bit of propaganda at me if you want about ala type r, but the truth is the mirror shows the true picture.

What is the point of ala, besides of course liver protection and the best anti o known to man. Ah to increase slin production, why to shuttle carbs and protien into the muscles. Taken 20-25 mins before a big carb up meal.

Listen you and Ulter are smart men, but I train, live, and will compete in this sport. So don't give me this and that about age.

Honestly hate to say it but I will most likely blow you both off of the stage.

so please save the age comments for others
not a VET and a PT

thank you


oh BTW
you got a package, more free ALA type R id hype it 2

no one said that racemic ala makes you fat, only that it increases plasma insulin levels and that many users report increases in interperitoneal fat (distended belly).. at higher dosages.. it is important to note that at least according to your posts that you only use it to carb up (at least previously) and not continuously through out the day.. though this may have changed recently

You can throw every bit of propaganda at me if you want about ala type r, but the truth is the mirror shows the true picture.

no one said that racemic ala does not work.. particularly if used solely for post workout carb-up and by those whose insulin sensitivity is good.. no is trying to use propaganda.. you said that you did not think r-ala was as good because you did not get the same side effects.. those were the reasons.. that was all that was said

What is the point of ala, besides of course liver protection and the best anti o known to man. Ah to increase slin production, why to shuttle carbs and protien into the muscles. Taken 20-25 mins before a big carb up meal.

actually, decreasing plasma insulin and increasing tissue sensitivity to insulin are the goals of r-ala use

Listen you and Ulter are smart men, but I train, live, and will compete in this sport. So don't give me this and that about age.

it is a fact.. insulin sensitivity decreases with age.. whether you compete is irrelevant (though good for you)

Honestly hate to say it but I will most likely blow you both off of the stage.
interesting...

interesting... but once again age comment had nothing to do with experience or knowledge.. with age insulin sensitivity decreases.. so when you are older it may be more of a concern to you

thank you

you really think this... interesting..wrong but interesting..

OK i voted.

Didnt see any "leaning out" on either of the two. Used 1200mg ED of racemic vrs 600mg ED of r-ala. Of course, my diet is far form being great, and I dont think I was taking these at any particular time (as far as meals go). I basically just took them through out the day. Thats probably why I havent seen leaning out on either.

My main reason for taking ALA s or liver proteciton. Given that, I will say I break out in hives when I take racemic, so while it may be a good liver protectant, its not a viable one for me. So far ive had NO allergic reactions what so ever with r-ALA. So strictly speaking on liver protecting qualities and viability, r-ALA wins it hands down, because I can actually use it.

PS: How should I take r-ALA to "lean out"?

 

[Ulter]

I like the fact that sofageorge put up the poll. I think you probably should have waited another 4-6 weeks to get a better sampling since the first bottles were delivered only 4 weeks ago. But maybe we can post this again at the end of August.
Also, I don't think the choice of "regular works better" is valid however since the only part of the "regular" that works IS the r-ALA that's in it. "I didn't notice any difference" or "they work the same" is a better choice. But as macro said the poll is not an efficient way to gauge the effectiveness unless people post. Because clearly the post is where you get the credible feedback.
As some of you may know our biggest worry is not polls and posts. It is that the drug companies are moving to make r-ALA prescription only. And it’s not because it doesn’t work.

Hitmeoff, You are living proof of why people should use the r-ALA. It is naturally ocurring in your body thus your body knows what it is and knows what to do with it. s-ALA it doesn't and that's why it may cause an allergic reaction. This is also why r-ALA is 26 times faster into your system.
You should be taking it right before each meal to help you lean out.

I used the r-ALA for 3 week and now I fit in pants that I didn't a month ago. This is even more amazing to me because I haven't trained in 6 weeks. It's wonderful!!!! I can't wait to start training with it.

hmm Ula i looked in 3 of your 4 other posts and it seems you have used Anabolic Fitness nyc stack, and yohimburn as well, with success. What changed your mind and got you on this?

I will answer this one. I have been using Yohimburn now for 4 weeks and I was using it to burn fat like everyone else. TODAY, talk about coinsidence, I looked at the back of my legs and I could not believe what I saw. The cellulite that has been there since I was pregnant 7 years ago was almost GONE. I can't believe what I am seeing here THIS STUFF IS AMAZING!!! I didn't read anything about Yohimburn fading cellulite so this was a very pleasant and unexpected surprise.

I have for my last contest and it works great. It burns fat without burning your brain like ECA does. It (anabolic fitness nyc stack) is the same thing they sell here only they call it PPA here.
