🔖Protip: Insulin resistance
We sure have ever heard someone say that "insulin resistance is bad" which is true and that also "a low fasting glucose is a possible indicator of your sports performance and health" which is also true, of In fact, I always recommend that my clients send me their fasting glucose measurements.
👨🏼🔬Insulin
❕Is a polypeptide hormone formed by 51 amino acids 🧬, produced and secreted by the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas, its main functions, as we well know, are related to glucose and carbohydrates apart from that if it is used in a proper way it can be a very interesting tool in any bodybuilder's pharmacological arsenal ⚪️.
❕On average, a healthy adult human has about 90mg / dL of glucose in an 8-hour fasting state; the level of normality ranges from 70 to 110mg / dL, qualifying any measurement between 110 and 125mg / dL as pre-diabetes and from 126mg / dL onwards, as diabetes.
❌Insulin resistance
❕It is understood as such the phenomenon in which when insulin binds to its receptor on the surface of the cell membrane, the intensity with which the intracellular signaling cascades are produced are weaker, therefore, there is not as much displacement of GLUT receptors per unit of insulin, therefore insulin resistance is nothing more than a cellular defense mechanism 🛡 against excessive caloric intake, since by preventing glucose from entering the cell, it increases the oxidation of fatty acids , reducing lipotoxicity due to the accumulation of lipids and thus the cell death ☠️ induced by the excessive accumulation of lipids (lipoapoptosis).
📄Protocol: mechanisms that improve insulin sensitivity
🧑🏼Obese men:
✔️Fucoxanthin: 15mg daily divided into 3 daily intakes.
✔️Berberine / Metformin: 1000-1500mg daily divided into 2-3 daily intakes, I recommend the use of berberine to avoid unpleasant side effects.
✔️Taurine: 4-6gr daily divided into 2-3 daily intakes
✔️Chromium: 200mcg daily
👩🏼Women with polycystic ovary syndrome:
✔️Fucoxanthin: 15mg daily divided into 3 daily intakes.
✔️Berberine / Metformin: 1000-1500mg daily divided into 2-3 daily intakes, I recommend the use of berberine to avoid unpleasant side effects.
✔️Taurine: 4-6gr daily divided into 2-3 daily intakes
✔️Chromium: 200mcg daily
Given that women tend to suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome and that one of the effects they have at the systemic level is that of insulin resistance apart from problems with cortisol, specific studies have been carried out on this and it has also been seen that the following supplementation will be effective:
✔️Inositol: 4gr daily in a single dose.
⚖️Men and women with normal weight and insulin resistant:
✔️Berberine: 900-1500mg daily divided into 2-3 daily intakes.
✔️Chlorogenic acid: 600-900mg daily divided into 3 daily intakes.
✔️Taurine: 4-6gr daily divided into 2-3 daily intakes.
✔️Blueberries: 200g total or 50g of blueberry extract.
