I've previously been supplementing with fish oil for about 4 months, and over the last 5 weeks I have been taking alpha-lipoic acid along with it and have been seeing better results in terms of recovery and fat loss.
Alpha-lipoic acid is unique in the sense that it is an antioxidant that is both fat and water soluble, and boosts sugar ****bolism and insulin sensitivity (same thing?), which is a reason why I also take it along with dextrose post-workout.
Have any of you guys ever supplemented with ALA? What were your experiences?
