• Athletes, lifters, and other physically active people are always searching for an edge– a new technique, a training regimen, an article of clothing, or the newest supplement that might help them shave minutes or seconds off their personal best time, lead to strength gains necessary to compete at a higher level, or hasten recovery after a difficult training bout.

  Nutrition is typically the missing link to reaching your full athletic potential. Properly fueling and refueling your body is essential to achieving your fitness goals. Carbohydrates play a number of important roles in your body. They are readily stored in your muscles for energy and they enable most of the protein you consume to be used for tissue synthesis (such as muscle building) rather than fuel. Additionally, carbohydrates are required for your body to continually produce energy during physical activity.

  Carbohydrates stored in the body are known as glycogen. The majority of glycogen is stored in your liver, but some is stored in your muscle and a minimal amount is found in your blood. Muscle glycogen is vital for physical activity because it affects both the length of time you can exercise and the intensity level of that exercise. Low levels of muscle glycogen decrease the time you are able to perform at your peak ability, thereby negatively affecting your overall performance and energy.

  Proper glucose disposal and utilization are primary factors to superior muscle building, fat loss, and athletic performance. If you're one of the few blessed with incredible genetics that process carbs (glucose) in an efficient manner, building size and losing flab will come rather easily. However, the majority of us aren't genetic freaks and our nutrient partitioning and glucose disposal abilities are somewhere between mediocre and extremely poor. For us, adding muscle and losing fat takes considerably more effort, but all is not lost.

  LOAD by Core Nutritionals is a potently dosed GDA (Glucose Disposal Agent) that targets multiple pathways and mechanisms through either clinical or supra-clinical serving sizes of 4 key ingredients that surgically target both glycogenic (glycogen-creating) and lipolytic (lipid/fat tissue-mitigating) pathways. Whether you're looking to utilize LOAD to amplify performance, muscle building, keep body fat low while bulking, or cut weight and improve your body composition, this potent formula can be utilized to help speed up and optimize those goals. Let's take a look at how these 4 key ingredients can harness the power of glucose to fuel performance and increase the efficiency of your body’s ability to send nutrients where it needs it (your muscles vs fat cells).

  Green Coffee Extract - Chlorogenic Acid (CGA) is a polyphenol compound in green coffee that is responsible for the all of green coffees health benefits. Green coffee bean extract is the primary natural source of chlorogenic acid. One of the primary benefits of CGA is its abality to inhibit the enzyme alpha-glucosidase, which is responsible for breaking down carbohydrates; essentially it reduces the uptake of carbohydrates and glucose during digestion.
  

  GS4 Plus® Gymnema sylvestre Extract - Gymnema is a traditional herb used in India and has been used for medical purposes dating back 5,000 years. People commonly use Gymnema to help eliminate sugar cravings, balance blood sugar levels, and regulate body weight. Possibly the number one use of gymnema is its powerful ability to reduce sugar craving. Gymnema is also one of the most common ingredients found in a glucose disposal agent and has been for many years.
  
  Gymnema works to slow down the absorption of carbs from the intestine to the bloodstream.  By slowing down how fast your body absorbs carbs, your body will have an easier time maintaining a healthy blood sugar level.  Maintaining a healthy blood sugar level will keep fat storage to a minimum and it will help keep your appetite and cravings under control.
  

  Berbis aristata Extract (Berberine) - Present in numerous plants used in Ancient Chinese Medicine, berberine is an alkaloid traditionally used for its anti-inflammatory and cholesterol-lowering effects. It’s also one of the most powerful, yet underrated, nutrient partitioning supplements around.

  Berberine is alkaloid found in a number of herbs. Berberine stimulates Adenosine Monophosphate-Activated Protein Kinase (AMPK) while also inhibiting Protein-Tyrosine Phosphatase 1B (PTP1B). Greater AMPK activation results in improved glucose uptake into cells, as well as reduced glucose production in the liver.

  Banaba Extract -  Leaves of the Banaba plant are rich in corosolic acid, a compound clinically proven to boost glucose control by mimicking insulin, ultimately aiding glucose metabolism. But that’s not all. Banaba also impacts energy balance in the body and reduces fat accumulation. Needless to say, this is a must have ingredient in any nutrient partitioning supplement!

  * Enhance nutrient absorption

  * Drive glucose intramuscular for better pumps and performance

  * Appetite Control & Weight Management

  * Better glucose metabolism

  * A great tool for bulking or cutting

  Directions: Core LOAD is a potent glucose utilization agent and should only be taken when ingesting a sufficient amount of carbohydrates. Take 1 serving (6 capsules) at least 30 minutes before or no more than 60 minutes after a meal containing 80 grams or more of carbohydrates. For meals containing less carbohydrates, take a half serving (3 capsules). Do not exceed 6 capsules in a 24 hour period. Do not use for longer than 8 continuous weeks without taking a 4 week break.
