5% Nutrition Core GDA - 90 Cap

Glucose Disposal Agent (GDA)
Contains 90 Capsules

5% Nutrition Core GDA is an advanced glucose disposal agent that puts excess carbohydrates to work for you. It drives them into your muscles for more training energy and increased cell volume. Core GDA makes the most of those extra carbohydrates!†

Carbohydrates are important yet controversial
Why? Because if you consume too many carbs, they are stored as body fat. You can thank insulin for that. When the average lifter eats a lot of carbs, their body responds by secreting insulin. Depending on how many carbs are being ingested, this results in either mass gains or fat storage. Eat enough to meet the body’s energy needs without problems. Eat more than the body requires, and that’s when the problems begin.

The reason is that insulin is a “double-edged sword”. Of course, it’s productive for muscle building (among other functions, it promotes the uptake of amino acids and glucose). Yet, as we have seen, it has the negative function of promoting fat storage.

How can this dilemma be prevented? Easy - add 5% Nutrition Core GDA to your supplement arsenal! This exceptional Glucose Disposal Agent makes the most of carbohydrates by making them work productively. That’s because 5% Core GDA assists in transporting glucose into the muscle cells where they will be stored as glycogen. This means more training energy. It also means bigger pumps because carbs pull water into the muscles. Plus it means those excess carbs won’t be stored as fat.

5% Core GDA should be taken with the two heaviest carb meals of the day. It goes without saying that Core GDA is a perfect example of 5% innovation. Lifters looking for a cutting-edge glucose disposal agent do not need to look any further, 5% Nutrition Core GDA is it!

INGREDIENT BREAKDOWN
Chromium – 400 mcg
Chromium is an essential mineral that helps regulate glucose metabolism and promotes normal insulin function.

Berberine Hydrochloride – 500 mg
This is Core GDA’s stand-out ingredient. Berberine is considered one of the most popular and effective glucose utilization ingredients. It occurs naturally in plants such as barberry, turmeric, goldthread, goldenseal, Oregon grape, and greater celandine. Like most herbs, it has been used in Chinese and Ayurveda for centuries. Berberine has been shown to help maintain normal glycemic levels in the body. It also improves insulin sensitivity, which enhances glucose absorption into muscle cells.

Gymnema Sylvestre Extract – 350 mg
Gymnema is a shrub native to India, Africa, and Australia. The leaves have been used extensively in traditional therapies. The active ingredient found in Gymnema is a group of compounds known as gymnemic acids. This compound helps inhibit the absorption of sugar. Gymnema helps prevent glucose from being stored as fat. In addition, it helps your muscles make productive use of glucose, meaning primarily ATP energy for muscular performance.(1)

Organic Ceylon Cinnamon Bark Powder – 300 mg
There are two types of cinnamon: common cassia cinnamon and less common Ceylon cinnamon. Ceylon has a milder taste and smell and has several nutritional benefits that cassia does not have. These include antioxidant properties, cholesterol-fighting benefits, and an improved insulin response. Avoiding insulin spikes reduces the chances of excess glucose being stored as body fat.(2)

Banaba Extract – 250 mg
This herb is a potent glucose disposal agent that increases glucose delivery to the muscles. This, of course, means more training energy. It also improves insulin sensitivity.(3)

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) – 200 mg
ALA is an antioxidant that is involved in the process of breaking down carbohydrates to be used as energy. It may also improve insulin sensitivity. This means the body makes more efficient use of carbohydrates.(4)

Vanadium – 10 mg
Vanadium is an essential mineral shown to imitate or mimic insulin’s effects, such as stimulating glucose uptake.

Of course, 5% Nutrition gives a whole new meaning to the concept of a “Core” product line. Those other companies give lifters a single ingredient - we give lifters formulas that work!
