[QUOTE="Kaus Klinski, post: 156353, member: 39200"] @[USER=15469]Bonetti Gianluca:[/USER] The reason I want to take ALA in the first place is to enhance glucose uptake/insulin sensitivity post workout, so I would *have* to take it in close proximity to the end of my workout. ALA has a fairly short half life of only 30 minutes, so it would be out of your system after about 2 1/2 hours. I agree on taking antioxidants as far away from a workout as possible, but on the other hand, I think it's just wishful thinking, because every substance has something like a half life in the body, it's not like you take it, it travels through the body and brings its benefits, and then it's gone (nor hurting your progress during the nex workout). Vitamin E (rrr-a-Tocopherol) for example has a plasma half life of about 48 hours, NAC's half life is 6 hours, etc. So once you have reached "steady state" conditions, you will have the antioxidant (in meaningful levels) in your body during your workouts anyway, except for the substances with a very short half life (like ALA), if you take them only once a day.
