I've read that the formula needs to be refrigerated in order to be good, is this true?

Only the pure R-ALA needs refrigeration. If you have regular ALA, which I believe to be superior due to the evidence that the S-enantiomer slows down the clearance of the more beneficial R-enantiomer, you just need to keep it is a cool, dark place. Also, the Na-rala doesn't need to be refrigerated either.

Why would you want to slow down the clearance...?
I thought recent evidence suggests that you want R-ALA out of your system quickly and that timed or sustained release formula's were not a good idea?

If true, I wouldn't take it. I don't regularly take more than is in Orthocore, however.

Wow... That is against the use of sustained-release ALA. It isn't against the use of ALA. Also, I don't even believe there are any studies dating back to 1955 for R-ALA. In fact, on pubmed, the earliest study on r-ala was in 1997 LOL!
All relentlessimprovement sells is the R-ALA, and they are quoting studies that are irrelevant in that linked document. They make it out like they are the good guy in talking about marketing scams etc..., yet they are blatantly doing it themselves. PITIFUL.

Look at the authors (not from RI), and look at the studies from 1955 you're talking about. They're about lipoic acid use in general, and were quoted as such in the article.

"dude, you don't want to slow it down because it's not a 1980s antioxidant commercial".

I can't believe you both are trying to spew propaganda that ALA is not an antioxidant...
Enjoy and happy reading. It is the only way you'll learn Shepard. Trust me though; it will pay off in the end.

luv2increase: the deliberately combative, abrasive style of your posting is not serving you well, especially on a thread like this where you've taken the wrong position. This would be a good time to retreat to a quiet place and eat a slice of humble pie before it gets forcefully shoved down your throat.

I'm not that up on the supposed usefulness of ALA (wouldn't touch it with a ten-yard stick) but I'm going to ask a stupid question anyway. I believe some people who work out and want to cut, or who are borderline diabetic, apparently take it because of its purported effect on blood sugar metabolism. In that case I don't think they necessarily want fast clearance, do they?

What is abusive and/or combative about any of that? lol
The statement you made Funky, "forcefully shoved down my throat", on the other hand, is undoubtedly abusive and combative. Not to mention, it is quite disgusting as well.

Underlining every word in three sentences would appear, to most readers, as obnoxious. Telling someone that the only way to learn is by reading is condescending.
Your absence from these forums was wonderful. I hope either you'll mature soon or take another long break.

is it good idea to take ALA for hangover prevention? supposedly it encourages antioxidant activity to help out with all the negative process involved in hangover. but i was thinking, since it encourages stress in a way to help you adapt, having already the stress of hangover, doesnt that over-add?
Posted 12 August 2014 - 04:55 AM
I think it would be best used on a continuing basis as preconditioning, since it increases aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (PMID: 23238616). That enzyme metabolizes acetaldehyde, which I think is what causes a lot of the problems. I haven't had alcohol since 1997 so I can't confirm if it works.
Posted 13 August 2014 - 04:06 AM
so i guess its good idea to take it before drinking instead of after. i was told the same about NAC, but as many times as i have tried this tactic, it always fails and hangover is always the same. i guess individually things should be trial and error until a conclusion is formed *sigh*
