Manufacturer’s Description
Optimal management of blood glucose (blood sugar) following feeding is of importance for all individuals. This includes those individuals reporting to a clinic with elevated fasting blood glucose levels (e.g., pre-diabetics and diabetics), as well as athletes looking to optimize glucose disposal into skeletal muscle.
While the former population seeks to regulate blood glucose for the purpose of disease management (i.e., mitigation of health problems and premature death), the latter population primarily seeks enhanced energy utilization and glycogen resynthesis during and following strenuous exercise. (Note: Glycogen is a storage form of carbohydrate and is widely used as an energy source during physical activity, in particular of moderate to high intensity—e.g., moderate to high intensity resistance and aerobic exercise).
While most young and healthy athletes have excellent glucose regulatory systems in place due to their training status and fitness level, it is possible that athletes consuming high carbohydrate meals may benefit from additional support in the form of novel glucose disposal agents. This is particularly true if the meals are comprised of simple, high glycemic carbohydrates, as is common for many post workout meals (whole food or meal replacement drinks).
Although a significant body of evidence is not yet available pertaining to these findings in human subjects, use of SLINshot™ may lead to heightened blood glucose clearance post feeding (possibly promoting greater muscle glycogen storage), in addition to enhanced nutrient uptake into tissue (e.g., creatine). Data in support of these statements are presented in the online paper.
Warning: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHOULD SLINSHOT BE TAKEN WITHOUT CARBOHYDRATES. Please read disclaimer at the bottow of the page.
Recommended Usage
• For enhanced glycogen replenishment and nutrient uptake, take 1-2 servings immediately post workout in combination with a high glycemic carbohydrate meal.
• For repetitioning effects, on non-training days take 1-2 servings 15 minutes prior to largest carbohydrate meal.
• May use more than 1 serving daily.
