Berberine experience? muscle loss?

[AML]

I have been reading about berberine and it seems great as far as the health benefits but I was concerned about it possibly slowing down muscle growth because of it negatively affecting mtor in the muscle cell. In rats it caused some muscle loss so would it significantly effect gains when taken by itself or with Ibutamoren? Anyone with experience taking berberine your thoughts on it would be appreciated. Thanks

It should be a non issue if you are triggering mTOR via lifting and adequate amino acid intake.

Muscle wasting from AMPk is way overblown. Think about it, one of the best ways to increase AMPk is exercise. Are you worried about exercise causing muscle loss?

I wouldn't take it with your post workout meal

Yep. Nor should you really take any GDA post workout anyway

Time it away from your workouts. Bothell pre and and post(not that anyone would use a GDA post anyway).

That said; you would have to have your training and diet dialed in so perfectly before even considering berberine as a factor into your gains. Pro level, but then you would be on top Michael gear for it to matter.

Thanks for the input.
