Nutrient Partitioning with Indigo-3G® Cyanidin 3-glucoside (C3G)



Product description from the manufacturer.

·         Controls carbs to build muscle.
·         Maximizes nutrient uptake in muscle.
·         Releases and burns body fat.
·         Prevents the storage of fat.


Scientists have discovered a naturally occurring compound — called cyanidin 3-glucoside (C3G) — that has the ability to precisely control carbohydrates so that what you eat literally turns to muscle instead of fat. 

This might seem hard to believe, but research has proven C3G's effects on insulin signaling, selective insulin sensitivity, glucose and nutrient management, as well as its direct effect on fat and muscle cells, is extremely elaborate and precise. 
C3G literally makes your body function perfectly for building muscle mass without the fear of gaining fat, even while on a bulking diet, making the body-building process a whole new ballgame. No more depriving yourself of the optimal nutrition for building muscle because "your body can't handle the carbs" — because now it can.
