To build muscle, one must recover from weight training. Muscle is damaged when you lift weights, and nutrients are needed for repair. The most important, of course, is protein. That protein contains amino acids, which help increase muscle protein synthesis. Besides protein, there are numerous other nutrients one can use to help their muscles recover.
One of those nutrients is alpha-lipoic acid. It is a supplement that has been around for a long time. Here at Proteinfactory.com, we carry the best brand, which is from Geronova.
A study was just published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition that came to the conclusion that ALA reduces muscle damage and an increases in recovery.
Why It Matters
If one wants to build muscle mass, recovery is essential. That is why Proteinfactory sells high-quality protein powder. Without protein, building muscle will be very difficult, if not impossible. The higher quality protein one consumes, the better chances they give themselves to move from a catabolic state to anabolic. On top of that, those that want to build muscle should use supplements that are proven beneficial to help build muscle. This study of ALA does just that.
What To Use
The benefits of ALA supplementation combined with creatine monohydrate have been demonstrated. That is why we put together this stack of Creapure with r-ALA.
This study now gives one another reason to purchase this stack and combine them with protein powder post-workout.
The post-workout stack would be something like this.
3 tsp of Total Frag 250
1 tsp of Creapure
3 capsules of R-ALA
Carbohydrate source
Oatmuscle
Raw Honey
Peanut butter
