First and foremost, I wanted to increase muscular absorption of the calories (and supplements) I consumed, and ALA turned out to be the perfect force multiplier. More calories absorbed into muscle meant fewer calories deposited as fat and faster strength gains. ALA accomplishes this, in part, by recruiting GLUT-4 glucose transporters to the muscular cell membrane. This both mimics insulin and increases insulin sensitivity, and ALA is therefore being explored as an "insulino-mimetic" that can be used to treat type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Not only does ALA increase glucose and nutrient absorption, but it also demonstrates triglyceride inhibition and--through extrapolation--fat storage. Here is an abstract from a 2009 article from the Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics that drives the point home: Livers from LA [lipoic acid]­treated rats exhibited elevated glycogen content, suggesting
