too much r-ala

[cbeaks]

Are there any risks to taking 2-3 grams of r-ala/day. I have taken this much of regular ala but wasn't sure if r-ala would be much different.

You'd be wasting it. But yes you could take that much you could safely take the whole bottle if you're referring to Glucorell R.
No one needs more than 800mg in day. Keep in mind it's 6 times stronger than ALA and in some aspects as much as 40 tiime stronger.

So anything past 800mg/day of r-ala will not help me lower my insulin requirements? Keep in mind that I am diabetic also.

I didn't know that. In that case you'd want to monitor how well it was improving you insulin sensitivity. The therapeutic dose is 600-800mg/day for type 2. I would start with 3 caps per meal and check your meter as you go.

But what if I'm simply following label instructions? (1 pill for every 30 carbs). If I eat 300 carbs a day, that's about 10 pills right there... 1 big G alltogether. Should I just stick with 8 a day, no more, no less?

If you're eating that many carbs throughout the day then 10 may be better for you. That's what I would do too. But I never ate 300gr in a day.

300 carbs a day.....lucky bastard.....Usually don't mind cutting, but for some reason this week has been killing me.

Yeah that's a good question, I had been wondering that myself. I just started using glucorell-R and thermorexin as a trial run. Must say, the thermorexin works a little TOO well as an appetite suppressant lol, it's damn hard to even eat just the protein I need during the day, much less the carbs from rice and oats... hasn't been long enough to tell about fat-loss, but the appetite suppressant works! On the glucorell, I've been taking the label recommendation also, but I take in at least 300g of carbs per day right now, anything less than about 3200cal/day and I lose muscle, even without cardio. So it's ok for me to take 10-11 caps per day... good to know

Lol, that was just an example. These days I'm usually eating around 500g

Oh......thanks for clearing that up for me...LOL

I had a similar question. On days when I do a long/intense cardio workout (sometimes 2) plus have a few carb-heavy meals I am up around 300-400g of carbs in 5-6 servings. That ends up being a lot of R-ALA and it aint cheap at those doses. So is it really useful to take it for post-workout carbs? I figure if my body is that "thirsty" for carbs and I take in ~50g of sugars immediately after my workout then do I really need the R-ALA to help. Should I just save it for 2-3 doses per day with my brown rice and oats?
