Thoroughly impressed by AI's Glycobol!

I tend to take my EC about 30 min prior to a meal. The instructions for glycobol suggest the same for those on a cut. My morning schedule usually looks something like this...

8:00 - take EC upon waking
8:30 - have my whey & oats breakfast/preworkout shake
9:00 - workout

How would you suggest I introduce glycobol into my routine? Should I take it with the EC, 15 min later, or with my shake?

Also, searching through a couple threads, some have said not to take glycobol within a 2-hour time frame pre-w/o.... if true, what is the reasoning behind it?

I'm looking into this for you before giving a definitive answer. Too much longer than two hours though and it's meal time again for me, lol...

It is best to test and see which you like best. Some people have a fairly large preworkout meal with a good amount of carbs and will take one cap with that. Others don't like the added pump.

For you I would start with 1 cap in the largest carb meal of the day. Next day add in another cap in another big meal that has carbs in it.

Continue slowly adding more til you have 4 caps per day.

I personally do 1 cap before breakfast. 1 cap with my preworkout meal. 2 caps with my post workout meal and 1 - 2 caps before bed with RecoverPRO.

Thanks. I'd like to know for sure if I should be avoiding it within that 2 hour time frame or not considering how my workouts are planned. Haha yea, I'm eating every 3 hours or so too

I tend to have the bulk of my carbs early in the day around my workout, tapering off towards the night. Being at a deficit, having a nice pump during my workouts could help me out mentally . So you're suggesting that I take my EC, then just take the glycobol with my pre-w/o shake instead combining it with my EC?

[StxNas]

What was being said in reference to this? What was the reasoning?

Sorry, but I'm not really coming up with anything to support this. I'm not saying that there aren't any valid reasons to dose in this manner, but I'm just not aware of any at this point.

Okay, I appreciate it anyway. However, any advice on my other concerns though; regarding the timing of it with EC in the morning?

I sometimes take IBE X-Force with my AM Glycobol. I've been using it to cut, so I wait about 30 minutes after Glycobol before I eat. I'm not sure if it's just due to having an empty stomach or if it's the X-Force, but sometimes I need to eat five to ten minutes sooner than I normally do. IMO, when Glycobol is dosed before eating, I can feel it starting to work (maybe going a little hypo...???). Other than that, I have not had any adverse issues or problems.

I've been taking it 30 mins before bed this last week and sleeping like a baby! I take 2 Glycobol, wait 30 mins and pound a whey shake with no carbs. I know this goes aginst the theroy of eating high carbs after Glycobol but it tends to get me a bit hypo taking it without carbs which has been letting me sleep like a baby and wake up feeling lean, refreshed and hard....RIPPED! lol! Just thought I'd share...

Glycobol has been amazing for me in the last few weeks I've been testing it. I've lost 2% body fat and actually gained 3 lbs. I'm eating more but getting ripped....it's crazy! Great stuff!

That's interesting that you say that. This is what Dr. D had to say about using Glycobol to increase GH levels at night:

- Stop eating carbs at least 2hrs before bed
- Take 1-2 gbols
- Take a scoop of EAA or BCAA or protein powder, or some Mucuna (l-dopa), or an arginine based stack, or whatever you normally use to promote GH levels.

It's that simple. You'll start noticing what I mean pretty quickly.

Another question...

Being that I'm cutting and tend to focus most of my carbs around my workout early in the morning, could I just take one serving (2 caps) in the morning and not take my 2nd dose later in the PM?

Since my last few meals are pretty low in carbs, I'm thinking it might be a waste to take that second dose. I wouldn't want to start feeling hypo too early on. Plus, the supplement would last twice as long

Thoughts?

That would workout fine, 2 caps is plenty to see results.

Hi I just ordered Glycobol last night. I want to know when it is best time to take them primarily for fat loss before or after workout and before or after meals? Thanks!

Before meals take it with your larger carb meals

[Big_Spaz]

I personally take mine post workout as well.


Since I am usually having a decent amount of carbs in that meal.

Why do you take Glycobol post-wo?

If i'm not wrong the main ingredient in Glycobol (Na-R-ala) works lowering insuling when taking high carbs, and we know taking fast carbs inmediatelly after workout is good, cause it produce an insulin spike that helps the nutrients to reach faster the "hungry" cells, so if you take Na-R-ala in post-wo it can lower that insulin spike, isn't it?

I really dont think so. I am with Spaz on this one, I take it PWO as well and the hypo feeling is intence when dosed after a strong workout. I usually up my carbs even more at this dosing.

This does not mean it will be the same for you. As with most things everyone reacts alittle differantly. For example I do not feel the effects with morning meals. I have never figured out why so I dose it with lunch and with my PWO meals its just what works for me.
Others have their biggest responce with morning meals.
