Hey guys,

I wanted to buy some ALCAR and R-ALA and it looks like I can buy them from Bulk Nutrition. I had a couple of questions though.

1. I wanted to buy the ALCAR listed here:
http://www.bulknutri...roducts_id=1186
Do I need a scale any other equipment to accurately measure out 500mg doses?

2. I wanted to buy the R-ALA but it looks like Bulk only sells regular ALA. Anyone know a good place that sells R-ALA in bulk? I only found this ALA on Bulk:
http://www.bulknutri...?products_id=91

I went with Na-RALA from here:

http://customnutriti...der-p-1141.html

because of concerns about stability. (It also dissolves quite well in water.)

I use the same exact ALCAR. I usually take 2 1/8 (1/4) teaspoons 3 times a day. Each quarter teaspoon weighs approximately 570mg. The powder is not easily packed down so you won't necessarily need a scale.


I use this http://www.bulknutri...?products_id=91 for my ALA. I take two 300mg caps (total 600mg) a day. This cost $20 for 3 months of ALA this way.

Thanks for the info guys.

luv: Are you not concerned about taking R-ALA rather than ALA? I am a total noob here but I thought there was some issue with the S-enantiomer? Does that combo from Bulk work well for you luv? Thanks.

I don't think there is anything wrong with ALA. It is cheaper, and as far as I am concerned, it is just as good.

You will have to read over the literature on the subject to come to your own conclusion.

All is currently working well with my regimen.

r-ala has no nootropic properties

r-ala has no nootropic properties

As opposed to ALA which does have nootropic properties? Please elaborate.

[nootropicpete1]

About question 1 -

I have made mistakes measuring using teaspoons. Even after I have had my coffee. Memory fades over time, fewer errors if you concentrate on doing it right once a month, rather than every morning. Plus you can bag the capsules and spread your intake thru the day, that is convenient. With a gram scale and capsule machine you can load your capsules quickly and accurately.


Here's a link to a terrific 300 gram electronic scale with accuracy to .1 of a gram. if you are filling only 24 capsules that is a tiny error. Push a button and the scale zeroes to adjust for whatever you are using to hold the powder. This price is less than $9.

And for filling the capsule here is a handy, easy to use, quick capsule filling machine(About $15).
