Dude you have no idea. Iv been thrown out of 4 buffets (swear to god). Told "its dinner now, changing from lunch, pay again or leave", or "you go to bathroom and keep coming back youv been here 4 hours thats not allowed"...iv had a guy with a pitcher of soda stand NEXT to my table n fill my glass when i take a sip tryin to fill me on liquid, then another place took my FULL plates whenever i got up for a drink (he did it TWICE!).

Pizza place by me you get a free tshirt if you eat one by yourself... iv done 2.5 lol (thin crust plz its easy)....

Metformin (GLUCOPHAGE)

 

[mike1107]

r-ALA

 

[A50#]

I know the books information is a little outdated but in the book BodyOpus Dan Ducahine speaks highly of vanadyl sulfate. I always thought it was a supplement that didnt pan out, but could it be effective?

good list, i am weary of avandia and metformin but would add sesamin

 

[speedbacker]

Something else to increase insulin sensitivity that is cheap is to pour an ounce or two of lemon juice and an ounce or two of apple cider vinegar in a shot glass and drink that before you have a meal higher in carbs.

 

[speedbacker]

Also, forgot

Glucosol (corosolic acid)
d-pinitol

 

[speedbacker]

Sesamin is another great one. I like sesamin a lot. I have been using it for a while and feel it definitely has a positive effect on body composition.

That study was done for chromium picolinate.

Chromium polynicotinate has been shown to be effective in reducing hypertension, helping decrease fat mass, and increasing lean body mass.
