I am taking Nor-andro, Androsol (Have not lacted any juice yet), GH (found a cool Doc), and Glucophage.
I workout at 5:30 in the morning on an empty stomach. I Drink a protein shake at the gym after I am done, and take a glucophage with this, Does this reduce my “Anabolic Effect”?
I am taking the Glucophage to help keep me lean, But I was wondering If I should take it with lunch and dinner instead of Breakfast and dinner?
TIA

LargeSarge…hey, buddy. I don’t know a whole bunch about Glucophage (Metformin), but have been looking into lately. BTW, where did you get it? Just curious, but no big deal. Anyway, at what dosage are you taking it? I personally don’t see a problem with taking it in the morning. As I understand it, it makes insulin receptors (especially on the skeletal muscle) more sensitive to insulin. If anything, I would think that this would aid the anabolic environment. Really, I would think that the effects of Glucophage would be present no matter when you take it, assuming that dosage is great enough.
As i remember it glucophage slows the release of glucose from the liver so it would delay your post drink from hitting the blood stream.Take it at other times.
My understanding is that Glucophage is for diabetics and it aids in slowing the release of insulin (like ALA but much more effective). I would only take it only with carb meals, it helps to prevent those Food comas that you experience from eating. Also, your excess glucose won’t get stored as FAT quite as easily.
