I might be a little biased, however I haven't seen a better partitioner come along lately. When you see some of the deals the board sponsers have, it makes Slinmax even harder to beat. Quite a few competitor products say to stack theirs with Na-R-ALA, why bother stacking when SlinMax has it all covered.
I tried making my own partitioner with Na-R-ALA, and a few other things, when SlinMax became harder to find over here in the UK, but it never came close to the real thing.
This. There's no product out there that will magically allow you to lose weight and body fat and still eat in a surplus. If your goal is fat loss you must eat in a calorie deficit. Slinmax is still beneficial in allowing carbs to be stored as glycogen for energy. It is also beneficial to use for high carb days or refeeds
That does make sense tbf.For me personally .. and some people might shoot me down in flames .. but this is what i dont do
Which is as you suggested .. post workout .. unless your meal exceeds ' normality ' i.e the 100g you suggested i think the response you will get from stimulus from training alone will aid the shuttling of nutrients .. i prefer to split my 2 caps per day over the prior 2 meals as my carbs around training are currently
Meal 3 - 50g
Meal 4 - 50g ( pre workout meal )
Meal 5 - 100g ( post workout meal )
I dose 1 cap with each of meals 3 and 4 with a digestive aid to ensure that my carbs prior to training can be utilised as energy ..
Would be interested to see what the other guys think but in summary my thoughts are .. your body will be like a sponge post workout anyway so use your doses when its not so ' spongelike '
Nope so if i were you id drop 2 tablets pre workout and then be like a sponge pre intra and post
No need to do this. Your insulin sensitivity, glucose uptake ability, and glute-4 are all activitated by training. It would be a waste to run this then. Training pretty much has the same effect.
Never use GDAs post workout. They are not needed. Your muscles are primed for those carbs then.
Thought it might have rendered it a bit redundant using it post workout, thanks for the clarification guys! Will be taking two caps about 15 mins before my pre-workout meal, Bring On The Pumps!!!Glad were all singing from the same hymn sheet
Not referring to the product in question, but it is a bad idea in general to use potent AmpK activators and anti-oxidants like Berberine (increasing atrogin-1, as well as potently activating AmpK) and Na-r-ALA close to you resistance training workouts. It may/will impact protein synthesis, glycogen repletion and possibly blunt adaptations.
I have seen the mice study on Berberine and impairing protein synthesis however I dont know how relevant it would be to doses that we consume, but I could be wrong. I dont see the small amounts of beberine in supplements effecting protein synthesis in non-diabetics to any degree that would effect potential results, also I believe the author stated that this could be overcome by increased mitochondrial biogenesis, to which Na-R-ALA may also increase mitochondrial biogenesis(possibily only when co-administered with ALCAR) but also exercise itself.
So taking 2 caps of SlinMax with my 75g carb pre-workout meal, about 1.5 hours before my workout won't negatively effect my actual workout performance or my gainz?
No sir, it shouldn't.
Do you mean that you're looking to add another GDA/NP supplement?
You could add cinnamon to your meals or add Apple Cider Vinegar to your regime.

Is there anything specific with Slinmax that you want to improve? I agree with Ant's comments, I always use ACV before larger carb meals as well as cinnamon too. Slinmax on it's own is very complete IMO, but adding in one or both of these could also be beneficial
I've read a lot on the effects of ACV on Carb metabolism and as a GDA/NP, but non of it seems conclusive.
I find that it helps me with bloating and digestion overall, especially with oatmeal. ACV seems to help me with the sluggish and drowsy feeling I get after a heavy carb meal too. Slinmax always helps me with post meal drowsiness too. I've also noticed that when I take ACV consistently it keeps me consistent with trips to the bathroom - same time every damn day haha.
I use SlinMax nearly all year round, 8 weeks on followed by 1 week off on a constant cycle. I just dose it according to what meal I'm having and what my current goals are.
Slinmax for the win! I typically take 2-3 tablespoons in a tall glass of water once a day. I train first thing in the morning, so I usually take the ACV right before breakfast which is my biggest carb meal of the day
Apple Cider Vinegar
is that 3 table spoons around 15ml, also how many grams of cinnamon do you use, i have got both, i have apple cider vinegar that is organic with mother. do you use the brag version or just a generic store bought version also does it have to be a specific form of cinnamon or just the version you can pickup at most supermarkets in the spice aisle.
Just sprinkle cinnamon onto your food. No need to weigh it out. With the ACV, drink it from the bottle, hold it in your mouth and add water. Do not swallow without water. Or add it to a shaker with water and have pre meal or with your meal. You're going to drive yourself crazy measuring out cinnamon, looking for specific types, and measuring out ACV.
FYI
I have regular store bought for my re-feed sunday and then from then onwards i have another version GRADE A CEYLON CINNAMON which is supposed to be superior
These items are not going to maximize SlinMax, they are simple ingredients that show GDA like properties. With or without SlinMax, they would work well. SlinMax is well formulated and does not need anything additional, but adding anything won't hurt or maximize the product.
