Questons about ALA?

[serbyte]

How many carbs do you guys eat before you decide you will need ALA, or R ALA. When I eat, if my carb intake is below 30 low GI carbs or 20 Hi GI carbs, i do not take ALA. Am i missing out on some benefits that I could be getting from the ALA?

30 low GI and 20 high GI is what I use, how much do you guys eat before you decide you need to take an ALA?

Also, do you guys know how long the muscle receptors stay affected by the ALA? Do you take it with food or before food? Also, lets say I take some ALA with a PW shake, and one hour later when Im going to have my PW meal, do I need to take more ALA?

I usually suggest against the old ala that people use, and go with Glucorell-R (which is way more effective).

My usual count for the c/ala ratio w/ Glucorell-R has been about 30-50g carbs per 100mg G-R, and I have seen it used w/ even 10g carbs although I'd suggest against it

20g carbs is about my limit before I take some

Also, do you guys know how long the muscle receptors stay affected by the ALA? Do you take it with food or before food?
I usually take it before, right before
Also, lets say I take some ALA with a PW shake, and one hour later when Im going to have my PW meal, do I need to take more ALA? yes, if the postworkout meal is large and has carbs in it

One more question, since ALA makes your cells more sensitive to insulin, allowing them to uptake more carbs, wouldnt your fat cells be taking up more of the fat floating around in your system?

Not likely...you're thinking of Insulin which allows for that, ala is a different compound.
