Na-Rala and Alcar

I remember reading that you couldn't mix AlA, and rala with Alcar because of polymirzation. Is this the case with Na-Rala, does the sodium in this protect it from this process. I would like to mix them in the same capsule.

Quite the contrary. You WANT to supplement with r-ala when taking ALCAR. They work synergistically.

I'm not sure but I find it strange nobody ever mentions na-rala on the forums. Stuff works great for me. I guess its not as sexy as some of the newer products. People always want the newest thing.

ALA in its various forms are a staple for many people. I have been using K/NA-RALA for about 2 years off and on. To me, they are fantastic supplements that can used at all times.

No doubt stuff keeps me lean. I'm surprised DS quit making glucophase xr. It was my favorite form.

Sorry, I didn't explain it well enough, I know they are great supplemented to get but actually physically mixing them in the same capsule is what I meant.

Just out of curiousity, why would you mix them in the same cap? If you're dosing ALCAR, you should be dosing more than a single cap in order to take the proper amount. Why not just put the na-r-ala in a separate cap since you'll be making several caps for each dose?

I can't wait either. Have you tried Geronova's Mito-Gold? Its my favorite one followed by their na-r-ala which nutraplanet carries in bulk.

That is quite pricey. Couldn't you suspend the ALA in vitamin E oil for a similar effect?

I would take 3 capsules a day, each capsule would contain 150mg Na-Rala and 500mg of Alcar, it makes it more convenient.

The Na-rala does polymerize the ALCAR just a little. In NAC however it can turn 500 grams into a weird semi-solid goo.

Both seem to work though.
