Hey guys and girls,
1st time poster, been lurking and trying to learn from just reading up (multiple forums/ sites), but I have reached the point where I would appreciate some specific advise / opinions from you guys.
I am planning a cut starting September. I have a complete chemical package planned out to help. I’ll be running Clen 2 weeks at a time, alternating with Albuterol in between. I will be on a ketogenic diet as I had some good results with it in the past. I recently read advice that says you should take Taurine while on Clen – helps with cramping and makes you more insulin sensitive and “insulin-like effects”.
My concern is, since I’m in keto, would the insulin sensitivity and spikes not completely mess up the diet? Keto does great to stop insulin flying by no ingestion of carbohydrates. Last time round I even stopped using sweeteners and chewing sugar-free gum cause some artificial sweeteners can cause an insulin response.
Extract: “More than 50 years ago, scientists discovered that taurine had an effect similar to that of insulin on carbohydrate metabolism it acted as a strong hypoglycemic agent. In 1964, this amino was found to increase glucose utilization in the diaphragm muscles of rats. You may be asking, Why is this important to me?" Think about it: What hormone produces a drop in blood-glucose levels and transports glucose into cells? Insulin! Now, you may not agree with this, but some scientists refer to insulin as "the anabolic hormone." Indeed, insulin promotes the influx of amino acids and glucose into muscle tissue. The importance of insulin should be self-evident. Taurine mimics the action of insulin both in vivo (in living organisms) and in vitro (test tubes). In one experiment, it stimulated glucose uptake into cells at 50% the capacity of insulin. Insulin and taurine also similarly increase the uptake of the amino acid proline into rat diaphragms. Interestingly, the combination of insulin and taurine was no better than either insulin or taurine by itself. Furthermore, like insulin, taurine can stimulate the formation of glycogen in cardiac muscle, certainly an important aspect of your training.”
Any insight would be tremendously helpful.
