Has anyone had any sucess taking postworkout shake (Whey/Sucrose) with insulin potentiators? Like ALA, Vanadyl, chromium...etc?

And if so...which.

Thanks

I cutting right now on a low carb diet, and I have been taking chromium picolinate and vanadyl sulfate with good success. They both essentially do the same thing. Chromium shuttles glucose to the muscle cells using insulin, but since Im on a low carb diet, my insulin production is super low. Thats how vanadyl works. it shuttles glucose to the muscles, but doesn't need inuslin to carry it. I guess it kind of mimics insulin. I'm trying to minimize muscle catabolicism, and its working....for now!

Vanadyl is good....better if taken w/ creatine tho...gives you awesome pumps when training and makes you more vascular.....give it a try
