Where to buy ALA?

[HANSEL]

Where is the Best place to buy some ALA and which ALA do I buy?

R-ALA you can get (and i have) from anabolicfitness.com (you take about 1000mgs a day).......and standard issue ALA you can get from iceman11111@elitefitness (he got 500mg caps and you need like 2500-3000mgs a day of that). the R-ALA is 20 bucks for 100 100mg caps i believe and the ALA 500mg's are .20 cents each.

Hold on Dr. Warbird, j/k, 1000mg of r-ala might be a little wasteful. I thought the general consent around here was 1g carb = 3mg R-ala. So 200 carbs a day = 600mg R-ala. Even if you don't consume 200g carbs i would stick to at least 500mg a day.
AS for which do you buy, tell us your situation. How old you are, how much you weigh, how important money is, do you mind side affects, fill us in.

Well, as we all know there are vast differences with each individuals body and diet. should have said 600-1200 mgs depending on carb intake........but most people using ALA are in a bulking or semi bulking stage and are taking in more than enough carbs to warrant a 1gram split dosage. But yeah, if i go easy on the carbs i have been known to drop it to 800 or a little below.......basically if i am on a workout day and i am getting about 200 grams of carbs pre and post workout, plus the whole rest of the days worth of carbs......i do an even 1000mg. makes it easier and at least you know you are getting an effective dose at the higher end of things. same goes for ALA, but just X3 multiplier. Now you damn male nurses need to stop busting my balls.....my fingers hurt from all this typing.

Female, bulking, I don't mind giving my age but if I give it - you would have to see me because I look better than a 20 yr old - does age make a difference? side effects? and r-ala is used for?

Female, bulking, I don't mind giving my age but if I give it - you would have to see me because I look better than a 20 yr old - does age make a difference? side effects? .I just started taking Tribestan. Should I take the r-ala along with that?

I would def say ALA is most important on a bulking cycle since it deals with carbs.......exactly what you would be taking in a lot of. i'd say its a great addition to a bulk cycle.

Generally, for a carb up, when does one take the ALA? Before,during,after?
Too many search results im getting to find just my concern.
Thanks,

take it right before the carbs. at anytime during the day you take in a lot of carbs. a few minutes or so before works well, it seems to get into the system instantaneously.
