wtf? high off ALA?

[Goat Ass]

i have been taking a 100mg ALA with my morning meal, i get a little woozy afterwards kind of like after 1 beer. WTF?

sounds like you're getting low blood sugar from it... either cut down dosage until your body is a little more tolerant of it, or up the carbs in your morning meal

ok. but geez, i ate grapefruit and oatmeal this morning...you would think tha twould be plenty of carbs.

hmmm, not exactly sure whats going on, but heres a theory... your blood sugar was low already as it was the morning,
the grapefruit provided SOME immediate carbs, but the oatmeal is broken down very slowly so it didnt start providing carbs until later,
sooooo, it is possible that the ala forced your blood sugar (from the grapefruit) to be really low, and then as the oatmeal was broken down, you started to feel better...

its a shot in the dark theory, but would seem to make sense.
