creatine into the muscle cell by providing a transport vehicle by its
unique ability to mimic insulin. As we said in an earlier answer, you
must use ALA in a capsule form and not in a pre-mixed powder.

body composition changes. This is believed to be due to a nutrient
partitioning effect where nutrients are channeled more toward lean
tissue and away from fat tissue. ALA is also one of the most potent
