Insulin and HCA
WRITTEN BY MAYNARD
Getting straight to the point, unless you are a moron and are eating
fat during insulin use, or you have crappy insulin sensitivity, HCA
is the second most effective fat gain inhibitor next to Clenbuterol
(which is only more effective due to its' ridiculously long half
life).
Hydroxy Citric Acid (HCA) is the main ingredient in Citrimax, and is
a bargain in terms of its': relative effectiveness (when using
insulin), cost (cheap, cheap, cheap), and availability. It works by
inhibiting an enzyme called ATP citrate ly(s)ase (ACL), which
basically converts ingested carbs to fat (which insulin promptly
stores). This is normally NOT a big deal since ACL levels are
normally low in most humans. However, insulin drastically increases
ACL levels (which should make sense based on what you now know about
insulin) accounting for most of the, responsible use, fat gain
associated with insulin use. This is the most exciting find since the
discovery of insulin as an anabolic! Using insulin and not gaining
fat while gaining muscle? What a concept! Although I don't like to go
into the details of use directly, I believe it is warranted here.
500-750mgs HCA should be taken with or within half an hour after the
insulin shot.
They usually recommended 250mgs is ineffective in dealing with the
drastic increase in ACL levels. The HCA is taken with the shot
because both start to work on about one half hour, so the HCA can
begin to be effective at the same time that insulin is trying to
increase ACL levels.
This regimen (only 3X500mgs HCA) prevented fat gain during a day when
I used 3 separate insulin shots! To make things even better there is
a mild glycogen storage property associated with HCA use. Since
ingested carbs cannot be converted to, or stored as, fat, they are
generally stored (due to insulin) as glycogen in muscle giving the
user a mild but noticeable pump (similar to the first day of creatine
use). To end this portion of the list, I give HCA my highest
recommendation as the number 1 supplement to use with insulin!
