i'm not exactly sure if ALA pushes nutrients into fat cells, i've never heard of that before. I know it pushes protein and carbs into the muscles though."
Yes, gy is correct in that is promotes glucose uptake in both muscle AND fat cells. ALA increases the number of receptors (GLUT4) on the surface of the cells, therefore allowing for more glucose to be taken in to both. That is why he mentioned it not being a "smart supplement" that will allow more glucose to be shuttled into the muscles and not the fat cells.

Hey gy, if i remember correctly, a few months back you mentioned that you were involved with studies involving the use of ALA (on the Anabolic board), am I correct or wrong? If so, is there anything exciting (or not exciting for that matter) you have learned?
