Bitter Melon helps muscle growth? |

With regard to century old question of what to take after your workout, one ingredient is probably the most important and it has to do with manipulating the most powerful anabolic hormone in the body, insulin. Insulin manipulation is nothing new, many products contain insulin potentiators or even insulin mimetics. Insulin potentiators increase the effect of insulin receptors in the cell. Prescription products like Glucophage are used to give this effect and nutrients like chromium will also perform this function as wil alpha lipoic acid. Insulin's job is to take amino acids and sugars from the bloodstream into the muscle cells. This is why insulin is prized among the elite mass monsters for its effect on muscle growth. Insulin mimetics are often found in products on the market. These act like insulin with one key difference. Most of them like Cinnamon extract, Gymnema sylvestre and Hydroxy-Leucine only shuttle sugars into the muscle cells without helping push the essential amino acids into the muscles. If you take one of these products you may actually do more harm because they prevent the insulin spike from consuming carbohydrates, yet do not shuttle the amino acids into the muscle like insulin does. There is one insulin mimetic on the market that actually performs its job much better than the rest and it is available in some pre-workout products as well as a solo herbal product (if your pre workout formula doesn't contain momordica or bitter melon then you can purchase it in capsules to take along with your pre-workout formula). This essential supplement is Momordica Charantia or bitter melon extract. It is the only product designed to shuttle both amino acids and sugars into the cell. It is the perfect insulin mimetic since it actually acts like insulin in the body, which is perfect for the bodybuilder since we are more concerned with shuttling amino acids into the muscles rather than sugars. Bitter melon is the better choice for people looking to take advantage of optimal post workout supplementation. Source: https://www.lgsciences.com/Articles.asp?ID=134 |
