Ladies, what's your dose? ALA, CLA?

[PsychoSkitz]

Hello,

I was telling my girlfriend about the benefits of both ALA and CLA and she's sold. However, I'm not sure what dose I should have her take.

For me, I usually just do 300-500mgs before eating. Should she be doing about half of that, or should she be doing the same amount as this isn't based on size, it's based on the carbs you're eating.

As for CLA, I've never taken it. How much should she be taking? Is that another thing where the dose should be the same for both men and women?

Thanks,
PS

Hey, you may want a more scientific answer from one of the other girls, but in the mean time...

I take 300-400 ala (500 if I plan on eating an entire pint of ben and jerry's). She will know if she has taken too much b/c she'll get hellish heartburn.

the anabolic board once said 300-500 ala/50g of carbs.

As for CLA what I've read take 2 600mg tabs 3x per day (6 total).

Again the other ladies will probably break it down on the molecular level and combine it with a DNA profile. These girls are good.

I've been taking 100mg of r-ALA per ~50g carbs. Double or triple this if she is taking the cheaper racemic ALA (so 200-300mg per 50g carbs).

I've never taken CLA.

I take about 4g of CLA per carb meal. I have read of others going as high as 10g (FONZ has but he's a different species )

how much r-ala before alcohol? eg 100mg per glass of wine?

r-ala+alcohol = hypoglycaemia

Alcohol has no impact on BG levels.
