I know Cooper recommends 1 gram Agmatine + 300mg Na-R-ALA + 1 gram ALCAR in the morning prior to a high carb meal and then if possible, 300mg Na-R-ALA + 1 gram ALCAR later in the day. If second option isn't do able, then upping the first dose of ALCAR to 2 grams will suffice.
But this in the context of a cheat meal/bulking diet. Let's say a normal bulking diet will have average 400-500 grams of carbs. Assuming that's 200 in the morning and then 200-150 at night, with the rest interspersed throughout the day. This protocol does not take into account 200 grams being consumed each meal.
I guess the real question is, how much faster does this protocol bring back resting glucose to an optimal/lowered state?
I know that the half life of narala is 17-22 hours as per coop.
If we're looking at half life alone, I believe plasma is ~10 mins or so while CNS is ~ 12 hours.
This is examining spinal injection, so how that relates to oral consumption I'm not 100% positive.

And I know that narala reaches plasma concentrations in that time frame as well (10 min), which is why one should begin eating around then.
So then how soon after do blood sugars lower again below their normal point or to the point they were pre-meal with the above protocol?
