Questions About Alpha Supplement


masterjen

Recommended Posts

I am considering purchasing some Alpha PMX (I think this is the one that has the extra protein, which is the one I'm interested in). The reason I'm interested is I still have days where eating is sometimes difficult, and I like the balanced nutritional profile of the Alpha products. Also, I typically work out a lot (although haven't been able to start up again because of severity of symptoms since being diagnosed and going gluten free - muscle weakness, headache and gastro. symptoms when I try to exercise for even 10 or 15 min.) Anyway, I've read that the product is corn-based, but I also know that corn is not easily digested for most people, let alone someone with celiac. Any thoughts/opinions?

I am curious if you have started the Alpha supplements. I was diagnosed 3/2010 and the energy level is low - lots of naps, unfortunately, are needed. I feel more fatigued after commencing a pure gluten-free diet, ironically. Also, I use to be very athletic with 5 workouts per week, which sustained a tremendous level of energy, which is completely lost now. This is quite difficult to accept. So, if you experienced some positive results with Alpha, I would like to know if you are more energized by this. I know there is light at the end of the Celiac Tunnel and I will remain positive and patient, I just miss my energy so much!

Keep up the good work.

No haven't started yet. Money was getting a little tight there for awhile (I'm still not back to work full-time), but I still plan to. It is the best formulation I've researched so far.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten?  I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
