DCP / TTA question

[Vipersg123]

I hope I am not hijacking.

How long does it take for the TTA to build up in your system? For some reason I believe I was told around 2 weeks a long time ago. I am curious because it just so happens at the 2 week mark I started getting the feeling of calve cramps whenever I stood up. My dose is... rather high. 3g a day +
2.5g of salvia per day. I am using nutra bulk.

That sounds about right thats why we have potassium in the DCP, to keep the cramping at bay!

Just a thought as to all the proposed theories on what processes are involved in causing TTA mediated Water Retention. Nothing difinitive has been stated thus far in my research...

I have a thought, but not sure how valid it maybe. Could it be possible that the increased fatty acid metabolism is liberating enough free glycerol to make an imact on water gain intrcellularly in the adiposytes? Glycerol is a hydrating agent that pulls in water molecules as we know with GMS and such...

Anyhow just a thought.

It's a very good theory, but it would be most likely due to increasing extracellular(mainly in the interstitial space), not intracellular water accumulation giving a 3rd spacing fluid effect.

I'd be willing to bet this is far more common in those adding in additional TTA to the DCP mix that are experiencing these issues.

I think you'll find these abstracts interesting:

Interstitial fluid concentrations of glycerol, glucose, and amino acids in human quadricep muscle and adipose tissue. Evidence for significant lipolysis in skeletal muscle.

Interstitial glycerol concentration measured by microdialysis in two subcutaneous regions in humans -- Jansson et al. 258 (6): E918 -- AJP - Endocrinology and Metabolism

Interstitial glycerol concentration in human skeletal muscle and adipose tissue is close to the concentration in blood

Thanks a buch T1 for you great insight. I love studies and these look quite interesting. Much appreciated!

Take Care.

No problem buddy. You now have me very interested as well
