The following is an extract from January's MD:
...the supplement Alpha Lipoic Acid decreased the rate at which muscle and liver tissue made new glycogen and decreased the efficiency of cellular energy systems. While this supplement may help sedentary obese individuals, it is not recommended for...
I've been using straight WPI for a while now, just wondering if i'd be better off switching to this mix to get the sustained release benifits of WPC as well. I know for sure this mix would be better than straight WPI for my MRP, along with the casein, but post workout is what I'm really...
Does this stuff actually work as a diuretic? I need to lose some water from A2 heavy chest and stomach while on Yohimbine topical.
Also, we only have prep-h available in the ointment in my country (which contains Shark Liver Oil). The gel one has Witch Hazel in it instead of this so would it be...
Ulter and Macro,

OK so i've been on this 'lakers stack' of ALA/CLA/GLA for about a week now and i can definitively say that it's superior to R-LA alone. Had a workout tonight and followed this up with my usual malto/dex/whey shake. now usually I'll wait around 1.45 - 2hrs to follow this up with a solid...
the price is AUD20.00

But like i said, i will be getting it wholesale...
Yeh i also noticed that it isn't listed as the r enantiomer on their AU web-stie. Dunno why or how the guy at GNC found out about it. The r enantiomer is predominately what they use in testing ALA and alot of the testing is done in Australia so that might be why they use it.
What is D-thioctic...
It is a fact macro, maybe it isn't available in your country but it sure as hell is in mine.
the label reads:
Metagenics Lipoic Acid (R-Alpha Lipoic Acid - 100mg) 60 caps - Practitioner Only Range
Metagenics Lipoic Acid represents the latest scientific advancements in our industry of...
Good news for any r-ALA bros in Australia.
A dude at my local GNC store (rare that i go in there so don't hold it against me!) put me on to a local brand of r-ala.
The manufacturer's name is Metagenics and its only available through one pharmacy in Melbourne, CR Hawthorn and Glenhuntly Rds...
