For those that can't be bothered reading the whole thing.

"CONCLUSIONS:

Berberine impairs muscle metabolism by two novel mechanisms. It impairs mitochonidrial function stimulating the expression of atrogin-1 without affecting phosphorylation of forkhead transcription factors. The increase in atrogin-1 not only stimulated protein degradation but also suppressed protein synthesis, causing muscle atrophy."
 
Seriously. Lol

Yes, you want to avoid taking AMPK activators peri-training, same as very helpful anti-inflammatories like Curcumin and Fish/Krill Oil. Same for berries or any other high-antioxidant foods, or Vitamin C. They could inhibit the localized temporary response. If you must use NSAIDs, same rules apply - keep them several hours removed from training generally.

However, you can’t squat if they amputate your feet from being diabetic lol. Health is a prerequisite for longterm progress. Do you really believe any possible protein synthesis down regulation from a plant extract wouldn’t be offset more than entirely from even a TRT dose of androgens?

Possibly, my problem was that I wasn't overeating carbs anyway so the only time I took the GDA was with a sugary preworkout meal to "help the carbs be utilised properly". Clearly a mistake and I'm sure I'm not the only one to make this mistake.

Definitely made that mistake in the past myself! It’s an easy fallacy to fall into - the same one people make with insulin even. “I wanna take X iu of insulin preWO, so I need to eat X g of carbs” - and they end up adding a surplus of calories, all from simple carbs, and are surprised when they gain fat.

Berberine is NOT insulin, and you can take it on any empty stomach even before bed or first thing in the morning, or in divided doses even. Someone with 90+ fasted glucose will NOT ever go hypo on it.

But even proper medical application of insulin is really about covering the food you already eat. A few iu before your oats or sweet potato, not take 10iu and slam 100g of kids cereal.

I really like Blue Sugar better. Basically Berberine and Banaba Leaf primarily and no heartburn. SlinMax is just as good but it gives me heartburn from the Na-R-ALA, and both outperform Glycolog in my opinion. I haven’t used Predator or Matador, and I am not sure there’s any others on the market worth considering after those.

But if really pinching pennies, Vitamin Shoppe has straight Berberine cheap and Swanson too when they are having good sales.

I used Tbsp ground flax in my postWO shakes for 2 months and made general progress so I’m inclined to agree it probably doesn’t matter if enough of the right pieces are in place. And I was eating berries in my preWO meal. And people take GDAs before preWO meals sometimes and it’s not like they lose all their gains.

This is more for people looking to absolutely maximize progress, and it’s only theory at best.

Hey DC, do I read that right that you only get like 4 hours in bed? I know some nights I’ve seen are higher but I’ve seen a few that look like that sort of amount?? If so I have no idea how you function bro, I’d be on my ass, like I literally couldn’t get through the day.....

The Army taught me that the human body only needs 4 hrs of sleep to function. I try to get more when I can. But I lived on 4 hrs and coffee for many years.

Lol. Can survive temporarily off that amount of sleep. But 7 to 8 where you will get great mental and physical benefits.

Temporarily no....4 hrs is really all you need. And I know guys that have been doing it for over 20 years. I myself have been doing it for 17 years. But when I am off, I shoot for 6-8 atleast. Sometimes like the other day I get 10-12

According to the sleep study guys, and experts they state that trauma is caused to the brain and body when you get less that 6 hours. All cause mortality increases significantly, and memory formation is severely hindered.

1% of the worlds population are what is known as Short Sleepers and can fully function on 4 hrs or less, and Tibetan Monks use this practice through Meditation to go years on short/no sleep.
