Here's my impressions so far....
BAC has the ALC-ARG powder 100 grams for $37.00. Dang pricey but I got some because they were out of KR-ALA.
I tried to mix the powder with water or juice..it's extremely hydrophobic so it didn't work very well. I ended up capping it, abut 1.2 grams per cap.
Been taking 1-2 a day for the last 10 days and I have to say I like it. It's not like regular ALCAR where you get a good feeling rush over you, it's more subtle.
It's hard to explain but it seems to enhance motor skills and mental energy levels really well. I feel much more alert and positive. I'm also taking about 1200 mcgs of folic acid, grapeseed extract, rosemary extract, and a selenium chelate tablet everyday as part of a stack to alleviate winter depression. The ALC-ARG seems to fit nicely into this although for the price I might be forced to stick with regular ALCAR..which I like a lot.
I've taken some before workouts and didnt notice anything...but my workouts have been shitty lately anyway. A high dose before a WO might be interesting but cost prohibitive for me.
All in all a thumbs up and hopefully the price will drop as it gains popularity.
