ok let me ramble for a bit
Glucophage is an anitdiabetic drug used in conjunction with insulin injections to control blood sugar(its used in both type 1 and 2 diabetics.
basically its function is this
1: Increase cell insulin recpetor site number and sensitivity
2: Decrease the amount of glucose/sugar the intestines absorb
3: Decrease the amount of glucose/sugar the liver manufactures. (one source of liver glucose production is amino acids obviously)
stuff works great when used at a dosage of 500-800 mg 1-2 times daily with slin and/or Glipzide tablets
this combo can be potent for causing a increase in carbohydrate requitrements and utilization for a significant weight gain. it also decreases the amount of insulin needed for max results
so there is one way to use it..to gain mass quickly
next:
Pancreatic regeneration: If your using glipzide, glyburide, or other pancreatic/insulin stimulators glucophage will increase the effectiveness dramatically. 500 mg 2 x daily works great here.
its also a great way if you are really trying to set yourself up for serious levels of insulin sensitivty to maximize growth
NEXT!!:
Dieting:
Glucophage utilized during dieting phases works well as a means of decreasing glucose production by the liver and glucose absorbtion by the intestines. this in itself decreases slin secretion by the pancreas and increases the bodies dependence upon fat stores for energy(cool huh?) works great with GH and PGF-2 use as well as there is synergy when employing AAS as well. SINCE cell insulin receptor-sites are more sensitive and since there is an exisiting crossover stimulation between IGF-1 and Insulin(and thier opposing receptor sites) lean mass retention would be increased. this effect helps decrease the negative effects dieting has upon IGF-1 production endogenously.
some notes:
take this stuff with meals and never less than 6 hours before sleeping. Dont take it if you got kidney problems and stacked with 17a orals it could seriously cause some liver damage.
dont take it with a dirutic unles you want to risk heart damage.
careful to watch for signs of lactic acidosis too so DONT DRINK ALCHOHOL FOR GODS SAKE WHILE ON THIS SHIT!!!
good luck bro....
hope that helped
