R-ala - My first try

[Ulter]

While were talking about the R-ALA , Im planning on using ALA just for liver protection on the first 4 weeks of my cycle when I ran Dbol.
Would R-ALA be more beneficial or would regural ALA get the job done?
Thanks bros.

R vs S
As an anti-oxidant they are at least not competing with each other like they do with your insulin levels. The s is a pretty good anti-oxidant. The liver studies however were done with r-ALA and I haven't seen any that used the racemic so I don't know how effective it is.

24 hour results:

ive used 1300mg in the last 24hrs, i worked out very intensly this morning on an empty stomach. had about 70carbs post workout, w/ 300mg r- ala.

im showin about 4-5 mg per 100ml of ketones.

im not overly impressed but i need to give this a few more day so all the variables in my diet and life can equall out, and i can make a more accurate comparison. i have been on reg ala for 2 months prior to this.

Thanks for the update. Can you tell us more about your dosage protocol (i.e. frequency/rate of ingestion), and also, how many total carbs are you taking in during the day? At what level did you take the racemic mix and what were your results with it?

I will say that you are probably right in going with pure R, especially since you seem to be dosing long-term at a fairly high level...

I'm assuming that 4-5 mg per 100 ml is trace ketosis?

yes very light trace ketosis. basically i spread the ala evenly w/ carb meals, about 200mg each. total carbs around 200-250.

give me another day or so and ill go into more detail w/ updates.

IMO The racemic is a much better value. (totall unbiased opinon of course

 

[superchicken]

maybe, maybe not. time will tell very soon for many.

THeMaCHinE: well put

I'm not on a keto diet now but my diet consists of 73 carbs/ day. veggies fat and protien most of the day. i took 100mg before eachmeal today... i should just try a keto strip and see if i am in ketosis. I'll go pick them up tomorrow

Not for me. Im allergic to ALA (or at least racemic ALA), at the quantities needed for all the benifits. Ive been on the r-ALA at 600mg per day and so far no allergic reactions whatsoever!!

That makes perfect sense and backs up what the studies show. The r-ALA is natural and your body knows what to do with it. The s-ALA it doesn't.
I am glad you are able to use the r-ALA bro, that's the best post I've read all week.

50 more caps of 500mg of BAC al powder to go and ill try the r-ala.
i hope it works well.
