R-ALA increases your muscles uptake of glycogen. This increases muscle cell volume and contributes to that full pumped feeling when you workout. This is a very desirable effect as the increase in muscle glycogen also increases other important nutrient transport that contributes to cell volume and muscle growth. R-ALA is not a thermogenic but it does appear to contribute to favorable body composition changes. This is believed to be due to a nutrient partitioning effect where nutrients are channeled more to lean tissue and away from fat tissue. R-ALA will help enhance the efficiency of many different supplements. One in particular is Creatine HSC. R-ALA will help enhance the absorption of creatine into the muscle cell by providing a transport vehicle by it’s unique ability to mimic insulin. As we said in an earlier answer, you must use R-ALA in a capsule form and not in a pre-mixed powder. R-ALA is also one of the most potent antioxidants available. And, when taken with other antioxidants it actually enhances their antioxidant abilities.

Vital In The Conversion Of Carbs, Proteins And Fats To Energy!

Alpha Lipoic Acid is a powerful antioxidant vital in the conversion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats to energy by working with insulin receptors to regulate blood sugars. This regulation of blood sugars is important for weight loss as well as healthy blood sugar levels, which is why ALA has played such an important role in reducing the effects of diabetes. These effects include but are not limited to cataracts, glaucoma, and nerve damage repair. ALA is both water and fat-soluble making it the only "universal" antioxidant. The powerful actions of ALA not only arrest free radicals but also recycle other antioxidants and vitamins giving them new life. This powerful action is why ALA stands alone as one of the most powerful antioxidants on the natural products market today.
