Southland's Slintensity--Multiple Loggers needed!

[MidwestBeast]

I've contacted Matt to look into this. They went out on the first, so I'm not sure what's going on. He said some of his orders from Flawless haven't been coming in, either, so it sounds like it's a regional thing? No idea, but I'll update whenever I have anything, guys. Sorry about this.

Just got mine in the mail today.

What's the half life on this? I've probably been taking more than I need.

Taking too much or more then advised I have been told hurts the way the product works rather then helps.... I'll dig up a few posts for you after I break out my coworker.

Well i mean how long between doses should i wait. Not using more than 2 at a time. Actually took two before 90g carbs and feel a bit odd ...not hypoglycemic..just odd.

90 carbs should be 1 cap.

Slintensity is based off of several ingredients that increase insulin sensitivity but REQUIRE an insulin spike to be fully effective. Both Gymnema Sylvestre and Banaba the 2 highest dosed ingredients in Slintensity are in this category for certain. The increased insulin sensitivity is based of of an effective dose which one cap already has in it. When you increase the amount of carbs over 60mg there is not a need to increase the dose of the product to compensate for this. You have already increased insulin sensitivity and the higher amounts of carbs simply increase the amount of insulin you are producing. The 60g of carbs is a MINIMUM recommendation based on the amount of insulin and nutrient shuttling you need to take advantage of the product but it is in no way the maximum recommendation. I would really only recommend an extra dose when you are in a carb refeed have already slammed the body with insulin during that day and are trying to re-establish the original or increased amount of sensitivity since sensitivity decreases through the day and with each exposure through out the day as well. Also keep in mind that these products have effective half lives of around 3-4 hours if I remember correctly so 2 doses in your 8 hour feeding window should be more than sufficient LTL.

Hope this helps.

Looks like 3-4 hours for half life

Lovely, so I did interpret the studies correctly. Any reason as to why I'd be tired after consuming around 200g of carbs in a sitting, after the use of slintensity?

I currently took two at once, had a burger and fries to once again test out the threshold, felt a bit light headed afterwords so I went out and got a slice of pie. So in total I've consumed around 150g of carbs and I'm currently feeling energized as I would expect from a GDA. In fact, a lot more energy than I have noted from prior use of GDAs. I'll start eating a lot more carbs I suppose. I have some waxy maize I'll begin to use again.

Was the lethargy after using 2 caps?

 

[oogaly_boogal]

The feelings of lethargy were after the consumption of one cap and ~200g of carbs. Can't be certain as it was pizza. Today was my first time consuming 2 caps at the same time and if anything, for a bit there I felt hyper.

I'm not quite sure then bro. Maybe it was the type of carbs you consumed? Or an unrelated supp your taking? Ive been using it a week now and have not had this issue yet but that obviously doesn't mean it wasn't from the slintensity. Are you noticing an increase in pump and vascularity? That's my favorite part about GDA's!

Might be, I was surprised. I had just assumed I hit the maximum carb amount allotted haha. I'm definitely noticing a pump though, especially during lifts. It's only been a few days though so let's see how this goes!

Might toss in a fat burner eventually...probably EC, wanted to take a break after 6 weeks on but eh.

 

[LiveToLift]

Would love to see your results without the burner bro just to get more of an accurate judgement. My use is on AAS but it wasn't sponsored so it's hard to tell what the full benefits are. I'll sub in your log when I get a second, link me up again if you could!

I will do, so far my "cut" has been me testing what I can get away with while using slintensity haha.

It will go more in depth once I get to finding my chemistry with it.

The tired thing is interesting. I'm not sure if maybe you consumed too much fat along with it? or it could just be too much for one cap to handle; I'm not sure.

All I know is when I've used it, even with 2 caps and then eating pretty much whatever I want, I may not feel energized afterward, but I don't feel even remotely tired and feel very good.

I haven't noticed that either yet. Thinking it was a different supplement he is taking.

Not using other supplements lol unless fish oil could alter my insulin levels....

I certainly hope not lol; aside from obviously not creating as much of a spike if taken with your high glycemic carbs as a fat source, but I imagine you're taking it at a different time and that still shouldn't have caused that type of an effect.

Yeah i think it was just a fluke. Took it today and yesterday and have been feeling normal/energized again. Family came over and ate all my food though so my caloric intake has been low today haha

How have you been dosing the slintensity? Training days I just been doing one with breakfast and one right after training. Non training days just one with breakfast. What's the best way to take full advantage of it?

I'm a bit lost here too as to how we would get the most out of it. According to studies it only works after a high amount of carbs/insulin spike, so I have drawn my dosing back to one, maybe two a day. Preferable before my preworkout meal, and with breakfast. I'd rather not use it post workout since my current training is more aerobic than anaerobic.

 

[MidwestBeast]

Best way is pretty much how you mentioned. I only use it prior to high carb meals, so it just depends on my diet for the day.

Yeah...it's actually very hard to log haha. Very lean right now though, I'm impressed by the change. I'll take progress pics, when I get a lift in later today.

I'm curious, anyone know or can speculate to the MIA of how all these gdas reduce bloating? What effects do they have on the gi tract that does this? Do some ingredients maybe anesthetize the gi tract and make it less susceptible to pain from stretch receptors, etc, speed up/slow down gastric emptying, etc.

The digestive effects are pretty much tied with the affect on body comp for why I take these to begin with.

This is also under the caveat that the particular gda doesn't f up your gi tract to begin with

Have yet to look into this but I'd presume that GDA's have a MOA of moving substrate (glycogen,glutamine,glycine,alanine,ornathine,etc)out of the circulatory system and into the muscle bellies through GLUT1,2,3,4

edit: a bit of cellular hydration per se

and the expulsion of food, for a better word, is simply from your body not having available transport space. I know when I either take too much of a GDA or each too much food, I soon after have to expel some of it.
