Insulin Resistance Stacks: Supplements and Information Guide

​The supplements in the insulin sensitivity supplement stack are those that can take somebody from insulin resistant state and improve insulin sensitivity and the glucose disposal rates.

The stacks on this page are great for athletes that want to increase muscular glucose uptake during exercise and muscular glucose uptake during meals.

​​Stack #1: For Athletes That Want to Increase Muscular Glucose Uptake During Exercise

• Take creatine (5 g), once a day.
• Add isoleucine (5 g) or a branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) supplement, taken before workouts.

Do not add isoleucine if you do not consume carbohydrates before workouts, as isoleucine for the purpose of helping with glucose disposal works in the presence of dietary carbohydrates.

​​Stack #2: For Athletes That Want to Increase Muscular Glucose Uptake During Meals

• Take cinnamon (6 g or 600 mg extract) once a day, with meals containing carbohydrates.
• Add isoleucine (5 g) if the meal is low in dietary protein.
• Add berberine (300 mg) can be supplemented alongside cinnamon. 

​Stack #3: ​For People Diagnosed with Insulin Resistance That Don't Take Any Medication

• Take zinc - 25 - 30 mg with a meal.
• Myo-inositol - 1200 mg daily with a meal.
• Add berberine - 300 mg, taken three times daily with a meal. After a week of supplementation, increase the berberine dose to 500 mg at each of the three meals. 
• If you have high dietary carbohydrate intake, take Salacia - 240 - 1,000 mg.

​Stack #4: For People That May Be Resistant to Insulin, but Haven't Been Diagnosed

• Take zinc - 25 - 30 mg with a meal.
• Myo-inositol - 1200 mg daily with a meal.
• Add berberine - 300 mg, taken three times daily with a meal for a total daily dose of 900 mg.
