Question on supps like ALA, Glutamine and Creatine

[Warblade]

Ok, I've been reading several threads and I keep hearing ALA and Glutamine mentioned. What are they for?

Also, I bought a tub of Creatine from Prolab and some pure Dextrose. I read that Cell-Tech has 75g of some type of sugar as the transport agent. Someone mentioned that was overkill. So how much Dextrose should I mix with a 5g serving of Creatine?

ALPHA LIPOIC ACID is a great antioxidant and it also helps cleanse the liver, it is also used for glucose disposal, dosages are between 900-1200mg per day. Glutamine is an amino acid used to help promote anabolism and to help stop catabolism, it will help in recovery after hard workouts, it also helps in HGH output when taken in sufficient dosages, i take 10 grams after my workout and 10 grams before bedtime. With a 5 gram dose of CREATINE i would probably add 15 grams of DEXTROSE to it but that's just my personal opinion....
