I-LOAD, short for “Insulin Load”, was designed to promote insulin sensitivity, and force carbohydrates, amino acids, creatine, and other anabolic nutrients into muscle tissue.
Main benefits of I-LOAD Include supporting:
- Increase amino acid uptake in muscle tissue
- Increase insulin receptor sensitivity
- Increase glycogen storage in muscle tissue
- Increase protein synthesis and DNA replication
- Increase potassium uptake
- Increase blood flow
- Decrease breakdown of protein
- Enhance nutrient partitioning
- How important is Insulin for building muscle?
Insulin is the most powerful anabolic hormone in your body that has the ability to increase protein synthesis, inhibit protein breakdown and transports glucose, amino acids and creatine into muscle tissue. Almost every amateur and professional bodybuilder is familiar with the power of insulin due to the powerful glycogen pump it can produce along with hyper-loading of nutrients post workout. In addition, insulin also has a huge nutrient-partitioning effect, driving food (and stored food energy) into building muscle instead of building fat. So the key here is to promote this powerful hormone without risking the dangerous side effects.
Why is insulin sensitivity important?
One of the key elements to managing the power of insulin (and maintaining
health), is to promote one's insulin sensitivity. A person who is “insulin
resistant” has a hard time processing carbohydrates and their body releases a
ton of insulin to get glucose into the resistant cells. The key to supporting an
efficient, healthy body is to promote insulin sensitivity where the body doesn't
have to release a ton of insulin to get the glucose into the cell. Insulin
sensitivity is partly genetic and varies with each individual usually peaking
highest in professionally trained athletes. Three of the best ways to increase
insulin sensitivity are through resistance training, cardiovascular training and
manipulating one's diet. A moderate carbohydrate diet rich in Omega-3 fatty
acids, fish oil and fiber can make a dramatic impact upon one's insulin
sensitivity. On the flip side, the low-carbohydrate, high-fat diets that have
become popular lately can decrease insulin sensitivity. People should be very
careful of these types of diets and limit their use to a maximum of 3 weeks at
a time especially if muscle gain is one's preferred goal.
How do I use I-LOAD?
To feel the effects of a full-on glycogen pump, take (1–2) capsules with your
pre-workout meal or shake. The meal or shake must contain at least 40–50 grams
of carbohydrates per capsule. For increased amino acid & glucose uptake and
speed of recovery, take (1–2) capsules immediately post-workout with at least
40–50 grams of carbohydrates per capsules. Advanced users may take (1)
additional capsule per day with a carbohydrate rich meal. Do not exceed
6 capsules per day unless you are facilitating pre-contest carb loading.
How does I-LOAD work?
There are quite a few supplements that can help support insulin receptor
sensitivity and also drive glucose from the blood and into the muscle cell. The
Glut-4 receptor inside your cell is the nutrient “gate keeper” that opens
or closes depending upon the amount of insulin that is present in the blood.
I-LOAD was designed to open up the Glut-4 flood gates &
pull glucose out of the blood and into the muscle. This helps your body work
more efficiently and keeps insulin sensitivity at its maximum.
I-LOAD is not your simple ALA/chromium combination. Utilizing cutting edge science, I-LOAD uses the following powerful weapons to help keep insulin sensitivity at its maximum and store nutrients like no other product currently on the market
Directions for I-LOAD:
As a dietary supplement, take 1 capsule 30 to 45 minutes prior to exercise
with 50 grams of carbohydrates. Advanced users may take 2 capsules with at
least 100 grams of carbohydrates.
