Vinegar and Glucose Disposal

[ProtienFiend]

I heard that Vinegar has some glucose disposal or nutrient partitioning properties....

In what doses is it usually used and how long before your carb meal should one take it?

Anyone use it Post Workout? (like ALA)

I believe I recall reading about taking apple cider vinegar before your morning meal or with ti. That stuff tastes NASTY.

The efficacy of acetic acid for glycogen repletion in rat skeletal muscle after exercise.

We examined the effect of acetic acid, the main component of vinegar, on glycogen repletion by using swimming-exercised rats. Rats were trained for 7 days by swimming. After an overnight fast, they were subjected to a 2-hr swimming exercise. Immediately afterward, they were given by gavage 2 ml of one of the following solutions: 30 % glucose only or 30 % glucose with 0.4 % acetic acid. Rats were sacrificed by decapitation before, immediately after exercise and 2 hours after the feeding. Exercise significantly decreased soleus and gastrocnemius glycogen content, and feeding significantly increased liver, soleus and gastrocnemius glycogen content. In soleus muscle, acetate feeding significantly increased glycogen content and the ratio of glycogen synthase in the I form (means +/- SEM: 4.04 +/- 0.41 mg/g-tissue and 47.0 +/- 0.7 %, respectively) in contrast to no acetate feeding (3.04 +/- 0.29 mg/g-tissue and 38.1 +/- 3.4 %, respectively). Thus, these findings suggest that the feeding of glucose with acetic acid can more speedily accelerate glycogen repletion in skeletal muscle than can glucose only.

See study above your post, it asnwers your question...

Take a shot (like with vodka) of vinegar post-workout.

Interesting study MrMakaveli

What about the glucose disposal agent properies usually associated with vinegar ?

May be reading this wrong..but this is what the study addresses only using the active ingrediant in vinegar as opposed to vinegar itself. Vinegar wont lower plasma insulin like most GDA's so I guess it's classification as a GDA doesnt really fit..just is great PWO for pushing carbs into muscles.

Real world effect? Decent but honestly I just got sick of vinegar shots.

For anyone interested.

Most of these links come from Cutting Edge Muscle. There seem to be quite a few results threads, so if your planning on using it, check those out.

One more thing..ALCAR is also quite a food GDA that I belive is specifically muscle targeted (ie, shuttles strictly toward muscle as opposed to fat).

My bad

Actually this is not good enough a reason to take vinegar with every cabs meal

BTW cinnamon also have interesting properties
