Glucose Disposal Agent Performax Slin Max Moves Nutrients into Muscle

Slin Max

SlinMax is definitely not your average muscle builder and is unique in its ability to work with the most anabolic hormone in your body, Insulin. SlinMax works as an insulin mimetic while also boosting insulin production and increasing insulin sensitivity. Insulin is high synergistic with Androgens, Growth Hormone, IGF and other hormones that effect muscle growth and through this synergism SlinMax can have extremely impressive effects on muscle growth, size, vascularity and even weight loss!

Na-R-ALA

is a salt form or R-ALA that drastically increases both stability and absorption and is known for its effects as a nutrient partitioner. Na-R-ALA is not only a very potent anti-oxidant it also is great at lowering blood glucose and increasing muscle glycogen storage through its ability to recruit glucose transporter GLUT-4!

Agmatine Sulfate

is incredibly well known for its ability to increase Nitric Oxide and enhance the ‘pump’ but what most don’t know is that Agmatine can also improve insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake in skeletal muscle tissue. It is believe Agmatine can promote the release of b-endorphin that can remove glucose from the blood and increase its storage in muscle tissue producing muscular fullness and nutrient uptake!

Berberine HCL

is a very exciting compound as there is solid human evidence proving its efficiency and ability to increase glucose disposal. Berberine has the unique effect of increasing AMPK, short for AMP Activated Protein Kinase which regulates insulin and glucose transport. When AMPK is activated glucose can be taken up into muscle cells through GLUT-4 transporter.

Banaba(2% Corosolic Acid)

is synergistic with Berberine with its ability to also increase GLUT-4 translocation and glucose uptake. However Corsolic Acid also may have the unique ability to act as an agonist of the insulin receptor, directly activating the insulin receptor itself. Banaba extract is also included in this product as it seems to contain compounds that may reduce fat cell proliferation thereby allowing SlinMax to have a more direct effect on muscle tissue and reduce the risk of fat gain.

4-hydroxyisoluecine

is a natural constituent of Trigeonella Seed, also known as Fenugreek. Fenugreek is well known for its effects on Testosterone production however it’s also been shown 4-hydroxyisoluecine, almost soley found in Fenugreek, can increase insulin secretion and help reduce blood glucose levels. As well it can help regulate healthy glucose metabolism and increase insulin sensitivity as well as post-meal glucose tolerance!

Black Pepper Extract

is known for its ability to inhibit enzymes that could degrade or breakdown certain compounds. Black Pepper Extract was included to increase bioavailability of co-ingested ingredients and specifically help the proper absorption of ingredients like Berberine, leading to a greater effect and less side effects associated with poor intestinal uptake.

NOW Super Cortisol Support

NOW Super Cortisol Support, 90 Veg Capsules

From manufacturer:

NOW® Super Cortisol Support is an herbal and nutritional formula designed to support healthy adrenal function and maintain healthy cortisol levels already within the normal range.  The adrenal glands help the body respond and adjust to stress generated from both internal and external forces. Under chronic stress, cortisol can be overproduced, resulting in weight gain and difficulty in managing healthy blood sugar levels.  Super Cortisol Support combines adaptogenic herbs with Chromium, Corosolic Acid and Relora® to help the body manage the negative effects of stress such as excess abdominal fat deposition, overeating, and low energy levels.

Jarrow Formulas Glucose Optimizer, Supports Healthy Glucose Levels and Antioxidant Status

Jarrow Formulas Glucose Optimizer, Supports Healthy Glucose Levels and Antioxidant Status, 120 Easy-Solv Tabs

From the manufacturer

Glucose Optimizer is a comprehensive combination of ingredients that support healthy glucose levels and provide antioxidant protection.* Alpha Lipoic Acid facilitates blood glucose balance and supports general metabolism by its effects on energy production.* Banaba, Gymnema, Bitter Melon, and Eucalyptus are herbal extracts that influence glucose metabolism.* Glycostat Wild Bitter Melon Extract, a proprietary extract produced from a wild genotype, promotes a healthy blood sugar level.* Magnesium is involved in the metabolism of glucose and production of energy.* Resveratrol protects cardiovascular function by inhibiting LDL oxidation, promotes nitric oxide synthesis and supports the integrity of the capillaries.*

More than 16 million people in the U.S. have difficulty maintaining their healthy glucose levels (CDCP, 1998). The Westernized diet is high in sugar and refined starches that are quickly converted to glucose once they are ingested. This causes rapid fluctuations in blood sugar and insulin levels, putting stress on the body. Also, an increasing number of overweight adults and children in the U.S. are developing impaired glucose tolerance and other metabolic conditions.

Glycemic Control: Key to Healthy Life

It is important to have well-balanced blood glucose and insulin levels. A growing number of scientific studies suggest that proper glycemic balance can significantly enhance cardiovascular, immune and bone health, energy production, metabolism, and overall well-being.

Following a healthy diet and a daily exercise program can help maintain glucose balance. Adding certain vitamins, minerals and nutraceuticals complements diet and exercise in maintaining healthy blood sugar levels.*

Vitamins, Minerals, and Botanicals for Healthy Blood Sugar Levels

Chromium

Chromium is one of the trace elements required for glucose metabolism. Scientific research has shown that chromium deficiency is linked to compromised glucose tolerance, lipid metabolism and weight management. Chromium supplementation has resulted in enhanced insulin sensitivity, improved fasting and postprandial glucose levels already within a normal range, and a decrease in fatigue, thirst, and frequent urination.*

Magnesium

Magnesium deficiency is common in people who have difficulty in maintaining healthy glucose levels, and it may have undesirable effects on the brain, eyes and cardiovascular system. Magnesium plays an important role in glucose transport and metabolism.* Clinical studies have suggested that magnesium may improve insulin secretion and sensitivity as well as peripheral glucose uptake.*

Vitamin B Complex

The vitamin B family is critical for healthy carbohydrate metabolism and cellular functions. For example, vitamins B1, B5, and B12 help in the release of energy from carbohydrates. Niacinamide supports the health of beta cells, the cells that are responsible for secretion of insulin.* It also helps to protect the peripheral organs and blood vessels from oxidation and other damage caused by excess sugar metabolites.* Vitamin B6 and biotin are known to enhance insulin secretion and sensitivity while maintaining normal blood glucose levels by regulating the production and storage of glucose.*

Powerful Antioxidants: Vitamin C, E, α-Lipoic Acid, Resveratrol

When blood glucose levels fluctuate above the normal range, free radical activity in the body increases. The powerful antioxidants, vitamins C, E, α-Lipoic acid, and resveratrol can reduce oxidative damage by minimizing protein glycation and lipid oxidation as well as by enhancing glucose metabolism, insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity.* α-Lipoic acid may also directly improve glucose transport across cell membranes and regulate glucose storage in the liver to help maintain healthy blood glucose levels.*

Botanicals for Glycemic Control

Gymnema Sylvestre

This Indian/Ayurvedic herb has been used for more than 2000 years for healthy glycemic balance. Gymnema sylvestre stimulates beta cell function and growth, while helping to maintain healthy blood sugar and insulin levels.* Multiple clinical studies have shown a significant improvement in blood sugar balance compared to the placebo groups.*

Banaba Leaf and Wild Bitter Melon Extracts

Banaba leaf and wild bitter melon extracts contain potent bioactive compounds. Banaba includes corosolic acid, lagerstroemin, flosin B, reginin A, and lectin. Wild bitter melon includes compounds that exhibit both insulin-mimetic and insulin-sensitizing properties while also activating the metabolism of fats for energy.* The active components of these ingredients maintain healthy blood glucose levels by stimulating glucose uptake and metabolism.*

Eucalyptus Leaf Extracts

Eucalyptus leaf extract contains many antioxidants that can positively affect glycation and oxidation of proteins and lipids, both of which are observed more frequently in the presence of elevated blood sugar levels.* Recent scientific research suggests that this biologically potent extract may enhance glucose transport and glucose metabolism.* Eucalyptus leaf extract can stimulate insulin production contributing to balanced blood glucose levels.*

Jarrow Formulas Glucose Optimizer is a unique blend of the natural vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and nutraceuticals that are described above in detail. These ingredients have been well-documented to promote healthy blood sugar levels and total well-being.*

Banaba Leaf Extract: An insulin mimicker.

Used in the Philippines as traditional medicine to treat diabetes and kidney diseases, the leaves appear to act in a similar manner to insulin by activating insulin receptors. One of the main ingredients responsible for this action is corosolic acid.

Try 30-50mg banaba leaf extract standardized for corosolic acid with your post-workout shake or with you biggest carbohydrate containing meal.

Or anytime with carbs and creatine. Banaba and other insulin-boosting supplements like gymnema and alpha lipoic acid work by either increasing the release of insulin from the pancreas or enhancing its effects at the muscle. Taking any of these post-workouts boosts insulin's action at the muscles without promoting insulin's action on fat storage.
