Is r-ALA better than regular ALA?

[rangerx83]

rangerX,

have you tried lower doses? to see if you can get the same or similar effect?

Macro,
No I haven't had the time. I've only been using it for two weeks.

Anyway, my dosages are based on three things:

1) The agreed upon consensus that r-ALA is roughly 3 times as powerful as the racemic. Consequently you only need to use a third as much..


2) The amount of carbohydrates I'm eating, which right now overs around 600gm/day. (still losing fat btw)

3) The rule of thumb that you need approximately 10mg of the racemic ALA per carb gram to achieve good, noticeable physical changes. This is based on what I and many others found out about the racemic through experimentation..

Since I'm eating 600gms carbs/day and only roughly 3 mg of r-ALA are needed for one carb gram, I need to use 3 X 600 = 1800 mg of r-ALA.

I've been using r-ALA for about 2 weeks, and since I used about 6000mg/day of the racemic to achieve my desired goal, that I would now switch to about 1800mg/day of r-ALA. I just wanted to play it safe..

One question I have about r-ALA's properties is by what mechanism. does it cause incredible pumps and impressive vascular changes. We've all experienced ALA's vasodilator effect on veins. It seems to also induce new vein growth. I understand that it's great for the mitochondria and that r-ALA shuttles nutrients preferentially to muscle tissue. But what does all that have to do with r-ALA's mild 'anabolic' properties?

Regards,

Poll Not Legit

Despite the fact that I have voted, I still consider this poll to be invalid and not legit.

You guys need to keep in mind that this message board is controlled by moderators who hold specific interest and financial returns with AF products, therefore, it is very easy for them to tamper with the results.

well if thats the case and you do not trust mods here, why don't you go do a different Discussion board and see what people are saying there.

Mac, Ulter, Ranger, Since I have Alot of the racemic left and Just ordered the R- could I mix the two and get good result or would the s- cancel out to much of the r-.

 

[Hbone]

Bump

 

[luto199]

i wouldn't mix them, you would still see the side effects of racemic, and only half the results of R-ala. I would just finish of the racemic or sell it, then goto the r-ala.

 

[Ulter]

Hbone I agree with luto if you are going to spend the money on the r-ALA don't pollute it with the racemic. Once you get the body that you want maybe rotate them EOD.

 

[Hbone]

Rotation sounds good.
