Mr X or anyone, what do you think of taking ALA on noncarb up days while on a CKD?

[barnidge]

If ALA lowers blood sugar levels then why would you want to use it on the Carb-Up day? Also, what does Chromium do for carbup and nocarb days?

 

[cozmokramer]

so ALA can produce the same effect as an insulin injection...?

getting one into ketosis faster?

what does ALA exactly do....?

ALA increases glucose transport into the muscle and fat cells by increasing GLUT4 transporters at the cell surface. More GLUT4's that regulate on the cell surface equals more glucose that is able to enter the cells for storage.
