Yea I was thinking about just doing that. Breakfast and pre workout possibly good choices? And I take high volume pre workout which has agmatine in it so would that be ok even though it's about an hour after meal with na r ala? What is the agmatine supposed to do for the na r ala?
I would take it with your two highest carb meals (minus your post workout meal). No need to use Na-r-ala there. If your biggest carb meals are breakfast and pre workout, you can take Na-r-ala then. Don't forget, it has a long half life as well, so if you only have one meal high in carbs, that would suffice as well. If I remember, the half life is about 18 hours or so.
Agmatine is nice because it improves glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity of skeletal muscles.and glucose uptake in skeletal muscle tissue. Agmatine stimulates the release of beta-endorphin (β-endorphin) that helps move glucose out of the bloodstream and into muscle tissue. This helps not only reduce blood sugar and improve nutrient absorption, but also improves the shape and fullness of your muscles.
Agmatine compliments Na-R-ALA in that it has it's own nutrient partitioning effects.
PerformMax Labs' SlinMax has both of these ingredients, plus a lot of other NP/GDA goodies.
Thank you for the mention. This is exactly why I suggest SlinMax for anyone that wants to make their own GDA. I love Na-r-ala alone, but once one wants to add other ingredients for a homemade GDA, it is hard to beat the value of SlinMax with its dose of Na-r-ala, Agmatine, and Berberine.
