Occasional GDA dosing

Any problem with using a supp with berberine for big/cheat meals occasionally? Basically is it ok to take berberine and ampK activators and such on an inconsistent basis? Ex. Glycophase

Using a GDA occasionally is perfectly fine. When I'm dieting (depending on my daily carb intake) I really only use GDA's for a high carb day or refeed.
 
I personally use on a daily basis. Currently using slintensity

IMO that is the way to go.
I dose them depending on amount of carbs. I have at least 1 or 2 low carb days a week when I don't use any.
 
I use them on the weekends. 1 with breakfast. I tend to not really have carbs after that.
 
Are GDA's like SlinMax and Burn24 any good/still work when taken with a meal or are they only effective when taken 30 minutes before?

Right off the webpage:

How long before a meal should I consume SlinMax?

We found SlinMax should be consumed about 10-15 minutes before consuming a carbohydrate meal. We found when waiting longer periods of time lead to an increase in GI upset in sensitive users.

I am using Slinmax. I follow the instructions. Works very well. 10-15 mins.

They can still be effective if taken with the meal, but it's always best to take them a few minutes before eating if possible. I always find that Slinmax works better for me when taken 15-20 minutes before a large carb meal. If you can't take it before the meal, taking it during will still have positive benefits

Read from Post #28 On kbayne covers this well

Right from the thread I liked you to

Depending on the size of the meal post-workout, I still think there is merit to adding in certain ingredients. Also, if one is taking in an intra carb shake, the post-workout sensitivity advantage is negated some what.

As for carb intake and compound doses. I tend to keep it the same beside post-workout, where my carb intake is very very high. This is where a glucose monitor comes in handy so you can test the compound doses and carb intakes. Personally I do:
ALA - 900mg (post-workout 1200mg)
Agmatine - 500mg (post-workout 750-1000mg)
ALCAR - 1 gram (morning and pre-workout)

If using Na-R-ALA, you can either dose 300mg in the morning prior to your carb meal and be good for the rest of the day, or simply dose 100-150mg prior to 2-3 carb meals.

All of this is from personal and client feedback.

To be honest, several times I have tried the simple ALA, 600mg (1cps) of Now Foods.
I took her in the morning before breakfast, I had an exaggerated hypoglycemic effect ... it works perfectly.
One integrator! Without the addition of others.
600mg for about 50gr of carbohydrates, many did, because the hypoglycemic effect continued after breakfast.

I do not understand why I often read time stack, acetyl carnitine, agmatine, ala ...
When only ONE, ALA, is enough and advances.

IMO
