Description
- Partition nutrients towards muscle tissue and away from fat cells
- Improve insulin sensitivity
- Provide a mild cell volumizing effect
- Maintain fat burning for longer periods
- Provide a potent anti-oxidant effect, making it a great supplement for overall health
Introduced in the fall of 2004, Designer Supplements brought the alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) market to a whole new level by providing the most complete and synergistic product to date. Nevermind beaten, nearly one year after its arrival, Glucophase XR™ has yet to be matched. In a weak attempt to provide some sort of competition, companies have attempted to emulate the standard set by Glucophase XR by copying the ingredients. Unfortunately these copy-cat products were produced without any true knowledge of why the ingredients were included in the first place and thus the final package was never quite the same or quite as effective as Glucophase XR -- just ask the paying public.
Positive Partitioning
Beyond the incredibly potent anti-oxidant and all-round health benefits offered by Glucophase XR is the product’s ability to affect the body’s natural partitioning behavior in favor of muscle tissue over fat. Partitioning essentially describes the manner in which the calories and nutrients that you consume are stored within the body. When partitioning is favoured towards lean tissue such as muscle, its referred to as "positive partitioning", whereas when it is favoured toward fat cells, its known as "negative partitioning". By promoting positive partitioning, Glucophase XR can help reduce the amount of nutrients that are "mopped up" by fat cells, allowing for a much leaner bulk or a more effective cut.
Aiding Fat Loss
In addition to the partitioning effects of Glucophase XR, the product can also be of significant benefit in dropping the fat while dieting by means of better blood-sugar control and insulin management. Insulin is a "double-edged sword" in that it is an incredibly anabolic hormone for muscle growth, but also a hindrance in fat burning which may even promote fat storage depending upon the environment.
Glucophase XR will also assist in increasing cell sensitivity to insulin, thereby causing a lesser requirement to accomplish the same function of nutrient uptake. Through this mechanism of clearing blood-sugar more efficiently than usual, the body can resume fat burning sooner. Additionally, capsules may also be taken before morning cardio in order to lower blood-sugar levels and tap into fat stores sooner.
General Health
As noted earlier, Glucophase XR is a magnificent anti-oxidant owing to the effect of alpha-lipoic acid on free radicals. As free radicals are typically associated with accelerated aging and other negative effects involving cellular damage, their elimination is of considerable importance. By facilitating this process, Glucophase XR is not only excellent for general health but it also improves the cellular environment for the building of new muscle.
Stimulatory Effects
The body has various systems, enzymes and metabolic pathways available for metabolizing drugs and other compounds. Quercetin and the Q3/Q4 analogues present in the Glucophase XR formula can inhibit these pathways, thereby improving the efficacy and prolonging the duration of compounds such as stimulants. While these ingredients were originally included to enhance the effects of K-R-ALA, combining Glucophase XR with stimulants can allow you to dose less of the stimulant and achieve the same desired effect. This can lead to better focus in the gym or in the workplace without the use of excessive amounts of stimulant. The vast real world results regarding the stimulant potentiating effects speaks for itself.
