Quoted from Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences studies on Berberine and it's uses as an antidiabetic compound:

2. Berberine as a Therapeutic Natural Compound
Alkaloid compounds have been widely used in traditional medicine. Alkaloid compounds have various pharmacological activities, including antimalarial, antihyperglycemic, anti-asthma, anticancer, antibacterial, and antidiabetic attributes. One of those alkaloid compounds named berberine is an isoquinoline alkaloid that acts as a therapeutic agent in the treatment of T2DM [19,27,28]. Berberine has been used as a traditional medicine in China, India, and the Middle East region for more than 400 years [19,27]. Berberine has a quarternary base structure that can be seen in Figure 1, which makes it different from other hypoglycemic agents such as sulfonylureas, biguanides, thiazolidinediones, or acarbose [19]. Berberine is known to reduce blood glucose levels, increase insulin secretion, reduce body weight and lipid levels, attenuate glucose tolerance and insulin resistance by activating the 5′-adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway, increase glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) levels, attenuate reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, reverse mitochondrial dysfunction, and suppress inflammation [29].

SO... clearly activating AMPK, phosphorylating Akt, and dragging GLUT4 to the surface to actually fix insulin resistance is "just about absorption rates," right? If you actually read past the subtitles on the "facts" you put up here you'd understand what I'm talking about.

we having different convos bro @rüd

it has uses berberine works but it doesnt absorb you follow bro? like 3%
it activates it like 1% lol when you absorb so low
you gotta work on the absorption

Ah.. then this is progressive.

This is where the "tweaks" i have added comes into play.

To continue absorption rate ive layered in Alpha lipoic acid (am pm) for general nerve care and up absorption rate of berberine. Milk thistle and piperine taken directly with berberine with a slightly fatty meal.. this keeps your liver from destroying berberine too quickly giving it more time to be absorbed.

Real world percentage difference? 6-9%?

I've also looked at adding lioposomal and Phytosome Berberine.. this would greatly improve absorption. For now what I'm doing is working but if the effect tapers I'd make these adjustments.

im not saying dont take berberine bro i like berberine myself and use it
but im saying you need absorption tools and no liposomal wont do jack you'd have to liposomal a gram lol @rüd
add distilled water and add quercetin that should help a lot and add cinnamon extract high dose

any training updates today ? @rüd

 

[rüd]

Finished out yesterday just over 950 carbs 290 protein 85 fats (beef for breakfast put me higher than expected for fats on a high carb day). Pics this morning added.

BGR same fasted this morning.. post workout slightly lower (not gonna continue monitoring blood glucose as I've done it in the past and I've remained level)

Breakfast was 150 gram chicken 30 gram feta, non fat Greek yogurt on flat bread.

Same post and pre workout meal of measured rice, cinnamon, dextrose, cinnamon, honey banana Mutant Mass.

Workout today was tapered back slightly as I had a minor pull in center of left pec after yesterday's pressing.

Chicken, rice, peas, turmeric, basmati and Greek yogurt.. leftovers for first breakfast with a banana and honey.

Fasted morning weigh in 202. Started adding a scoop (12g) of dextrose to all my water, taurine, electrolytes. Keep pushing more easily digested carbs. Bar speed and movement is getting smoother and faster all the time. Supportive muscle mass is definitely primed.. before another raw push strength week I'll be adding a few volumization days. Prime my CNS and ensure glycogen compartment saturated.

Looking forward to another hard week of controlled violence.

Strength milestone log shortly.

Looking at pics this morning and noted trap striations starting. Thought it was shadows but over the week they are showing up more pronounced.

@rüd traps are definitely coming in bro solid work!
