So this supplement has discussed plenty and it's already been confirmed that the termination elimination is 17-22 hours. Would this mean that the best time to dose this would be in the morning, in it's full dosage? Why do people split up the dosage?
Yup. I've never seen the reasoning behind splitting the dosage throughout the day if it lasts 17-22 hours.Interested in this as well
Yup, that's what I've been told. If it stays in tissue for basically the entire day, there seems to be no need to split dose it, unless the nutrient partitioning is a more acute effect.I lean to NA rala
And for the majority if the benefits, at a good dose, fasted in the morning is fine
In a GDA it would be a smaller dose so they suggested prior to each large mealYup, that's what I've been told. If it stays in tissue for basically the entire day, there seems to be no need to split dose it, unless the nutrient partitioning is a more acute effect.
Thanks for the confirmation. Now the question I've been wondering forever can be put to rest.In a GDA it would be a smaller dose so they suggested prior to each large meal
In bulk at a good dose you're set
What doses do you guys do for each scenario?In a GDA it would be a smaller dose so they suggested prior to each large meal

Carb shuttling is not its only useGuys take it 15-30 minutes pre meal! Don't take in morning on empty stomach if you are not going too eat! Trust me you will feel nauseous and sick and the product will go too waste! It needs carbs too be utilized!
I think he means that if Na-R-ALA is included in a GDA formula, it should be used pre-meal. If using alone (like I am), it should be okay to use at the start of the day or whenever you first want to use it.What doses do you guys do for each scenario?
Read up on it, most potent anti oxidant aroundWhat are u using it for? What other uses maybe I can utilize?
Good stuff, and pretty cheap.Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a mitochondrial fatty acid that is highly involved in energy metabolism. It is synthesized in the body and can be consumed through eating meats and minimally in some fruits/vegetables.
In supplement form, it has shown benefit against various forms of oxidation and inflammation. These effects carry on to benefits that protect one from heart diseases, liver diseases, diabetes, and neurological decline with age.
It is a potent anti-oxidant compound. It works with mitochondria and the body's natural anti-oxidant defenses. It is also seen as an anti-aging compound since it can reverse some of the oxidant damage related effects of aging.
Things to Note
Alpha-Lipoic Acid, despite being a fatty acid, appears to be water soluble in the gut and is absorbed by transporters. Coingestion with fatty acids in the diet does not appear to be required
Can be bound by avidin, and thus coingestion with raw egg whites can possibly negate the benefits of supplementation
Standard dosages of Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) tend to be in the range of 300-600mg; with little differentiation as to whether the racemic mixture of ALA (S- and R- isomers) or Na-R-ALA results in higher blood levels.
Alpha-lipoic acid appears to be absorbed via transporter-related means, and despite being inherently fat-soluble it does not require dietary fatty acids to be absorbed from the gut. ALA supplementation can be taken in a fasted state.
WhT i was asking is what dosage do you guys take in the morning for the whole day setup? and or what dosage do you take for the gda pre meal setup?I think he means that if Na-R-ALA is included in a GDA formula, it should be used pre-meal. If using alone (like I am), it should be okay to use at the start of the day or whenever you first want to use it.
300mg Na-R-ALA seems to be the go-to at the start of the day. And for ALA, I believe it's 3x as much (900mg). I see people splitting doses in half for the GDA setup (150/150)WhT i was asking is what dosage do you guys take in the morning for the whole day setup? and or what dosage do you take for the gda pre meal setup?
And i would assume 450/450 for gda use of ala?300mg Na-R-ALA seems to be the go-to at the start of the day. And for ALA, I believe it's 3x as much (900mg). I see people splitting doses in half for the GDA setup (150/150)
Yeah. I have ALA caps from NP that are 300 mg each so I have to probably make the choice of 600+300 instead of 450/450And i would assume 450/450 for gda use of ala?
Gotcha. Yea those caps are why im asking. Seen them the other day lolYeah. I have ALA caps from NP that are 300 mg each so I have to probably make the choice of 600+300 instead of 450/450
For 7 bucks I couldn't pass them up.Gotcha. Yea those caps are why im asking. Seen them the other day lol
