Ala

[ancientgr]

Hey,

I read the "un-official bulking cycle" diet and it said to take ALA. It said take 1-2 pills for every 30-40g of carbs. Just wondering what the mg pill of ALA it was speaking of?

Thanks!

I'm going to guess 100mg pills.....200mg total for 2 caps...BUT ala is also found in foods such as beef, spinach, broccoli, tomatoes, egg yolks, and others.

"Recommendations for the use of alpha lipoic acid as an antioxidant can range from 50 mg/day to 400 mg/day. In the only published study to examine the antioxidant effects of alpha-lipoic acid in healthy humans, 600 mg/day for 4 months significantly decreased several biomarkers of oxidative stress compared to baseline"
