acarbose

[Rider]

what do you think about this drug? I am considering to use it after hi carb meals.

[VTliftVT]

what reason would you want to stop the digestion of complex carbs for? cutting?

it seems that it greatly reduces the amount of glucose derived from the carbs being "undigested"

[smokeyd]

maybe eats like do do and needs it on cheat meals?

Acarbose inhibits enzymes (glycoside hydrolases) needed to digest carbohydrates: specifically alpha-glucosidase enzymes in the brush border of the small intestines and pancreatic alpha-amylase. Pancreatic alpha-amylase hydrolyzes complex starches to oligosaccharides in the lumen of the small intestine, whereas the membrane-bound intestinal alpha-glucosidases hydrolyze oligosaccharides, trisaccharides, and disaccharides to glucose and other monosaccharides in the small intestine. Inhibition of these enzyme systems reduces the rate of digestion of complex carbohydrates. Less glucose is absorbed because the carbohydrates are not broken down into glucose molecules. In diabetic patients, the short-term effect of these drugs therapies is to decrease current blood glucose levels: the long term effect is a small reduction in HbA1c level.[1]

for cutting only and after a cheat meal yea.
