I've been dialing in my peri-nutrition to cater towards gaining lean mass (currently 5'8 158 lbs former collegiate sprinter). I've added roughly 90-100g Carbs around my workouts which has been great as far as hard training.
I've noticed slight headaches and full(er) stomach which causes some issues towards the end of training. Any recommendations on a GDA to help with my carb load?
Thanks in advance
SlinMax is great. It has full dosed ingredients and ingredients people suggest to users who would like to create their own GDA.
Na-R-ALA also reduces blood sugar and improves glycogen storage thanks to its actions with GLUT-4 (an important glucose transporter in the body).
Agmatine 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.
Berberine activates Adenosine Monophosphate-Activated Protein Kinase (AMPK) while inhibiting Protein-Tyrosine Phosphatase 1B. AMPK activation improves insulin sensitivity and glucose transport in the body.
Banaba has been shown to not only improve glucose transportation in the body, but also positively impact insulin sensitivity.
Cinnamon bark extract is added to it. Cinnamon has been documented in various studies to lower blood glucose, reduce body fat, and boost lean muscle mass.
With SlinMax, I can eat a high carb meal or a meal high in calories and I do not feel bloated at all. In fact, I feel like I can eat more. Additionally, I get a food pump, especially with those high carb meals.
