Can anyone tell me what affect Indigo-3G would have on blood sugar? It sounds like it prevents the uptake of glucose storage into fat cells but increases the nutritional delivery and uptake into muscle cells. What is the overall net effect of this on blood sugar.
P.S. I just got my bottle today.
You would think it would reduce fasting blood glucose, but I have no evidence of that after a three week trial. Admittedly, I injured myself in the first week and wasn’t exercising properly, but you would still expect something. I got no change in fasting blood glucose.
Since it reduces glucose going into fat cells but increases uptake into muscles it could be a net-0 change except that muscles are growing instead of fat. I’m not quite sure how C3G effects glucose metabolism in the muscle cells though.
It would also be interesting to see how C3G effets a person with type-2 diabetes; It may have a different effect in someone with insulin resistance then in gluco-normal indviduals.
Are you asking because you have blood sugar issues or just that you’re concerned about the fat storage? If it’s blood sugar, I’d be really interested in what you think after you’ve taken it for a test run.
Sorry, I don’t have the answer to your question but I wish you much success.

I am insulin resistant and saw nothing as I said. I’ll try again here shortly though. I did put on a few pounds, so maybe I gained a little muscle mass and simply failed to mobilize the fat. I saw the same scenario when I took ordinary blueberry extract capsules back when Indigo first came out. (I could afford blueberry extract then, just not I3G.)
