From my understanding ALA can be used to get into ketosis in as little as 24 hours. Once in ketosis, you can eat small amounts of carbs (50-100g i believe) followed by ALA and still be in ketosis.
If I remember correctly it burns the glycogen stored in the liver.

It takes glucose in bloodstream and ramjets it into already glycogen filled mucsles. This is the pump everyone talks about when on it.

I'm just giving you the gist of it, but that's what it does in a nutshell. Not to mention protect your liver, and a great antioxidant.

Oh, and question #2 - You get fatigue because of the low blood sugar level experienced after the ALA ramjets a good portion of it into the muscles.

Solution would be to increase blood sugar levels.

the benefits of ALA besides the anti oxidant...are 1 to get u into ketosis without resorting to no carbs and 2..shuttle nutrients such as glucose into your muscles therefore

1: ALA wouldn't help u anymore than eating no carbs will to induce ketosis..the point of it being that u CAN eat some carbs and stay in ketosis

2: with no carbs turned into glucose and therefore nothing to store as glycogen..the benefits of ALA are greatly reduced
