There’s 2 kinds:
1) synthetic S-ALA which us usually labeled just as ALA
2) R-ALA which is derived from natural food and is more readily assimilated
Check your label. If it just says ALA then try the more expensive form of R-ALA.
You can also get a lower dose of it or take it less often to see if that helps with your allergy

Thank you - I took the 'just ALA'. I'm not sure I want to try again since this was the second time, and worse than the first (it spread more), but I appreciate the distinction. My IH doc was surprised I would be allergic to ALA since it is naturally produced in our bodies and the type may explain why.
