R-ALA (Glucorell R) before PWO nutrition?

[randumb]

I know Glucorell helps keep insulin spikes in check. Do I want to take it before my PWO shake (protein + dex) or will it interfere with what I want the insulin spike to do?

I don't use it with pwo offerings at all, no.

No sense in purposely sensitizing fat cells when muscle cells are already stimulated for increased uptake above fat cells. Kind of defeats the purpose.

Okay cool, I'll just stick with using it for breakfast and my PPWO meal. Thanks guys.

My personal protocol (and for those I assist) also means the 2nd pwo offering.

You are free to do what you choose however.

Oh so it's really only needed for breakfast or non-PWO carb/protein meals. That's great. Now this bottle will last me a lot longer

Thanks again.

if post workout shake/meal is very high carb (ie 75+g of dextrose- as is somewhat commonly used) then a single cap is justified then. If carbs are moderate you can go without with post workout meal as insulin sensitivity is quite high then.
