ALA burning throat!!

**massripped** · 08-29-2002, 09:46 AM

I just took one ALA capsule 400mg and it is making my throat burn and upsetting my stomach. Why is this happening? I ate first I had 2 cups skim milk, 1 banana, 2 cups juice, 8oz. chicken and 1 cup applesauce as my pre workout meal. I took it on a full stomach. I also had my multi-vitamin, vitamins E & C. Any reason for this. THANX.

I'm actually looking into that myself, because it happens to me as well (the throat burning thing). I'll let you know if I find out anything.
bump...for an answer from someone who has knowledge of this!

It happens to me sometimes also. But i think mine comes from glutamine. I recommend drinking allot of water right afer u take them. Helps me

Did you buy it bottled or did you get a "baggy full of caps" deal? The regular ALA will cause heart burn very easily. Not getting heart burn is only one of the advantages of using r-ALA, which is all natural. That's why most people don't get the heartburn that they do with the synthetic.

my guess is you have the same shite I have. Powder? It says mix with water and drink quickly, then drink another glass. That shit burns the hell out of my throat

! I want to get the caps. That is what is keeping me from taking it.

I got the gel caps, and if I don't drink enough water/juice with it, it will burn in my throat too.

I happens to me too. I try to take them after I eat bro.... It helps a little bu tlike OG said Drink tons of agua !

The best way to take ALA....at least this works well for me and many others...is to TAKE ALA FIRST.....then eat something within 5-10 minutes. It seems that this somehow keeps the ALA down and the food on top. Possibly the ALA has the food to soak into.

But if I take ALA after I eat....the heartburn comes.
So try taking the ALA first....then food/water

Iceburg- Makes sense, I'll try that

Thanks for the responses. After about 20 minutes it went away. But when I got back from the gym I ate my food and took the ALA and the same thing is happening. My throat is burning.Fucking annoying as hell.

I bought it bottled from anabolical.com

Hey Iceburg is this r-ala?

Always take you ALA before your meal if its causing problems. I have been using it for awhile now and have no problems what so ever. Also, drink plenty of water to wash it down.
