GSNO can be also exported out of the cells via a the GSH transporter
So, here's the critical, non-negotiable point: anything that significantly increases Growth Hormone has the potential to influence insulin sensitivity

These benefits may complement ALAs antioxidant and nerve-supporting effects, making ALCAR a potential co-therapy for those looking to take a multi-pronged approach.63 ALCAR is generally well tolerated, though side effects like agitation, dry mouth, or insomnia may occur in sensitive individuals
