I used 900 mgs a day of the stuff, got some good pumps. I hear youve gotta take like 1500 a day to see really good results though.

My Herbalist who has an awesome store says Alpha Lopoic Acid...
Works as a great Antioxidant is that what you are using it for ?
I know the bros use Milk Thistle for Liver and ALA as well as Cranberry Extract. The Guy at the Herbal Store says ALA is an Antioxidant and Cranberry Extract is good for the Kidneys and of Course Milk Thistle is good for Liver!
What do you guys take ALA for?

thats what Im trying to find out Big
Its too bad the old archives tend to go down sometimes,
because I wrote the mother of all ALA threads there.
ALA is a phospholipid. It is both FAT and WATER soluble
making it the BEST ANTI-oxidant on the planet today.
Vit. C= Water soluble
Vit. E = Fat soluble
It does both the work of Vit. C+E simultaneously.
Also, it RECYCLES used up Vit.C and E making them
MORE biologically effective.
It is essentially in the B-class of vitamins. Also
known as thioctic acid in some older studies.
GREAT nutrient-partitioning agent.
Capable of increasing glucose transport into the miocytes
and decreasing fat transport into the adipoytes via
increased glucose oxidation.
Increases intra-cellullar glutathione levels by 50-70% ALL
BY ITSELF.
IS the ONLY agent in existence today capable of accelerating
the hepatocyte renewal process.
There is more, but after this it get pretty technical.

ala
fonz is right about ala being fat and water soluable in fact i think its the only antioxidant that is this allow ala to penetrate all areas of the liver kidneys etc. instead of getting blocked by a fat layer or water ,ps fonz i tried to give you karma but it said i had to spread ot around oh well it was probably going to be grey anyway lol but i guess its the thought that counts

Good info Fonz!
I've been taking 900mg ALA three times a day. 2700mg total. Also using Tyler Liver Detox and Milk Thistle. I've been on accutane for around 3 months and also 3 weeks into a cycle. I've been getting blood tests from the doc for the accutane and my liver values are completely in the normal range.

ALA = Great shit!
• Great antioxident
• It also acts as an insulin amplifer by the action of dissposing glucose. It shuttles glucose out of your blood stream and into your muscles. That is where the great pumps come from. This is also a good thing while following a ketogenic diet. It will help you reach, and stay, in ketosis much easier.
200-300 mgs a day for antioxident
400-600 mgs a day for insulin amplifer (take 1st dose before cardio or training, and other half after)
