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.
ALA will help enhance the efficiency of many different supplements. One in
particular is Creatine HSC. 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 ALA in a capsule
form and not in a pre-mixed powder.
ALA is also one of the most potent antioxidants available. And, when taken with
other antioxidants it actually enhances their antioxidant abilities.
