It also helps to deplete the lactic acid in your muscle cells while you train, resulting in less discomfort when increasing weights and allowing you to continue training with increased intensity with less pain
Last year, for example, American researchers demonstrated that alpha lipoic acid (ALA) supplementation in older racehorses reduced the oxidative stress burden even under light training loads (4) , while a number of other animal studies have shown that acetyl L-carnitine (ALC)/ALA supplementation reduces oxidative stress and improves mitochondrial function in a number of tissues, including brain, muscle and heart

Acute Supplementation Protocol for Moderate-Intensity Exercise Performance (5079% O 2 max ) Along with the intake of CHO, doses of 3 g of l-C 3 h before exercise at 65% O 2 max on a cycle ergometer and doses of 2 g taken 2 h before a marathon race and 20 km after start did not find significant improvements in the power achieved during 40 min on the cycle ergometer or in total time in a marathon [20,24]
