1) How imperative is it to dose AP ~15 minutes before a meal? Can you take it along side a meal?
2) How many carbs should one take with one cap? (ie 1 cap = 50cho)
3) Does the product have any longterm positive/negative effects on insulin sensitivity?
4) How much wood could a wood chuck really chuck if he were on AP?
I can maybe take this one, though I may be beaten mercilessly for it by Jacob
1) Not imperative but very favorable. The half-life, we feel, is around 6 hours, with a downward trait for effectiveness. So, though your AP will work on carbs for that entire time period, it will be
most effective during that 15-20 minute time period
2) Around 60 grams of complex carbohydrates is the most favorable.
3) AP does not
directly affect Insulin. As Jacob has stated, AP causes the mitochondria of muscle cells to uptake a far greater amount of glucose than normal, but not through a direct regulation of insulin. It does, however, cause your body to be more insulin efficient. IMO, I do not forsee it having a pronounced effect on long term insulin production.
4) At least a threefold increase in output. Our studies found that the AP control group (ap/3) chucked on average twice (t2W) as much wood as the placebo group. Very promising statistics to say the least.
