    ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid) is primarily a anti oxidant which fights free radicals in the body , Free Radicals are polution in the body which is caused from smoke , air pollution, chemicals etc.. and can cause cancer ... also ALA reduces Insulin Resistance which shows some intrest to bodybuilders.

    Take 1,000mgs a day and you can buy it at gnc or online...It's much better than milk thistle..

    Bro, I have taken it...and I can say it does create some halatious pumps. I only take 600mgs a day.. But I have read that some take up to 1000 a day when cutting. And split it up throughout the day while concentrating post-work out. Hope this helps.
