Should I take it right after my work? After my dex/whey shake? some say 20 min after the PWO shake, while others say 15 min before your PWO shake. Can someone clear the slate cause I did a search and not too much comes up.

What i have been told and what i have learned from my read is to take R-ALA Post WorkOut and after you carb intake because it mimics insulin and it will help the insulin push the blood glucose more efficiently --- helping to get more in the muscle and assisting in not letting any get left behind to be stored as fat.
I would not use it PWO since Glut-4 permeability is already enhanced at this time. There is no real need.
after exercise insulin sensitivity is at its best (comparatively), however that is not the only impact of R+ lipoic. In addition to a host of other metabolic interactions, one that is specifically of benefit (even post workout) is the ability of R+ lipoic to mediate the adipogenic effects of insulin via PPARgamma modulation. SO if the post workout meal is large its a very good idea to take R+ lipoic.Quote:

Yeah I'd rather use it for any other carb meals. It would make sense that this is the time carbs are best utilized.Quote:

you might want to try it both ways and see how you respond, also if it is high carb (typically over 75g) do reccomend it regardless.Quote:
