Alpha Lipoic Acid Stacks and Workout Benefits

ALA increases the uptake of many nutrients and supplements, specifically creatine. This is why it’s a beneficial post workout supplement or helpful when loading creatine.

ALCAR (acetyl L-carnitine) also stacks well with alpha lipoic acid. Together, this duo promotes energy and metabolic health.*

For best results with this stack, stick with a 2:1 ratio of ALCAR to ALA. For example, try 500 mg of ALCAR and 250mg of alpha lipoic acid.

Dosage and How to Take

Since alpha ALA is water soluble, taking this supplement with food isn’t necessary. A range of 300mg to 600mg is ideal. A 550 mg dose is roughly equivalent to a 3/16 tsp.
