For myself I find it lowers my blood sugars, possibly by reducing cortisol response, and it is calming for stress/anxiety. I am have tons of stress with our sick kittie for example. Theanine is supposed to help with GABA receptors as well. This site I found is interesting: http://web-us.com/l-theanine_anxiety_reducer.htm Lipoic acid...the older racemic ALA and the newer R-lipoic, are thought to heal the mitochondria in the cells that may be damaged and therefore cannot produce enough energy to fix nerve cells. Lipoic acid is complex: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipoic_acid The research has been going on with this for over a decade, and now some neurologists even recommend it. (amazing!) This thread discusses it in more detail: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread159210.html If you are building muscle that is a good sign. Pyridoxal (the active form of B6) is required for good muscle activity. The lipoic acid will help give the cells more energy. You need quality protein to build lean muscle mass. Magnesium for proper relaxation of the fibers. And adequate potassium in the diet for nerve transmission. I am finding for myself that magnesium applied to the body areas bothering me...works better than oral. CVS Epsom lotion... or Epsom-It which is more expensive. Also you might try d-ribose. More on ribose here: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/post708792-40.html Ribose is a constituant of adenosine, and the body uses adenosine to make AMP, ADP and ATP for energy in the mitochondria. It may help with some muscle metabolism. It is used in grams and so buying the powder is more economical. It has shown promise in patients with fibromyalgia and sore muscles.
