How much ALA is too much for one day?

[PinkPanther]

I was just wondering if there was such a thing as "too much" ALA to be taken in one day. I have 500mg caps of ALA and I usually take one a day with my lunch because I usually have rice and an apple with this meal. However, tonight I am going to be going out to eat at an Italian restarant and I know I will be eating a lot of carbs. Would it be too much to take 2 pills at once?

Thanks a lot!!

Ugh...I hate that smell! The first time I took one, I was like what the f' is going on here?!?! Yeah, sometimes I wonder, too if I would even notice a difference when not taking it...I just have so many of them that not taking them would make me feel like I've wasted money...

Thanks for your feedback

Probably not, as long as you don't go hypo. I've used 1000 mg of ala at once, although I can't say that I have been greatly impressed by the compound in general, and have discontinued my use of it, with no apparent change other than my urine doesn't smell as strong now.

Count yourself lucky... it has another problem in men. My ex-girlfriend didn't care for the taste, so that's why I original stopped using it.

Eeeww...never heard of that one before...of course, don't know where I would hear it from. At least you were a nice enough boyfriend to stop taking it Do you take anything with your carbs now?

No, I only eat carbs after being in ketosis, so muscle and liver cells are more than happy to absorb virtually all of it, as well as more than they would normally hold, via the supercomensation effect of carb loading after depleting.

i use upto 1g of ALA when im gonna go out and to a restuarant or whatever, in a day i use between 1g to 1500mg

Normally I'll take 300mg ALA or 100mg Glucorell for every 30-40g carbs

In terms of ALA usage. I've seen people go over 2g, especially if you're supplementing it for UCP-1

I don't know what dosage is the max in terms of declining effects, sorry
