Alpha Lipoic Acid side effects?...

[RawkOn]

Hey, I'd just like to introduce myself and say hello to you all. I'm twenty years old and I've maintained quite a healthy lifestyle over the passed yr now, which by the way I'm very proud of. But the reason I'm posting here is because I have a concern that hopefully some of you can help me with. I started taking an ALA/ALC supplement (ALA 200mg ALC 500mg) last Thursday and I would take two of these capsules with two meals throughout the day. The first two days i didn't really have any issues, it was Saturday that got me. After eating my first meal i took the two capsules and i began feeling a burning sensation in my throat and my stomach became quite upset. The burning feeling went, however my stomach remains upset. Since Sat I'm still feeling a bit nauseous, bloated and i have a slight loss of appetite.

I decided to turn here because a lot of you seem very well informed on supplements and nutrition in general. Any help of advice would be real appreciated. Thanks

I take 600mg of R-ALA a day and have never had problems. What's ALC?

 

[RawkOn]

krishna, the ALA is very good at transporting fatty acids. Definitely good for energy.

lanky, what did you end up doing?

Never had any problems. I was bloated. But the 2 grams of test and deca I was taking sure did not help!

Ok so again what is ALC?

Ok so again what is ALC?

Acetyl L-carnitine, most likely. The two seem to be combined pretty often.

i actually notice this exact same thing.....a weird 'tracer' feeling in m throat and stomach after i eat 2 R-ALA pills...but the feeling last only about 15 mins max and is pretty minor although certainly notcieable.....interesting effect. im using the R-ALA as a detoxifyer for my liver after using M1test (oral) for 18 days.

It's heartburn / acid reflux. ALA and R-ALA causes heartburn in many users. Taking it with a meal helps, rather than before. For me, I cannot use it due to the horrendous heartburn it gives me.

have you been buying the same brand? maybe try another ala product? glucorell? af store has alcar too if you want that.

Never heard of ala causing that, stims, sure... hmm have to ask someone bout that
