Attention!
Directions say to take XGF-1 1 to 2 hours before a workout. If you are going to take a carb loader or other carb source before your workout it's best to take XGF-1 2 hours in advance. It will be in your system by the time you take in the carbs.
Why is this important? IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor 1) is just that, insulin like. IGF-1 and insulin compete for the same cell receptor sites if they are both present at the same time in the blood. For maximum results allow as much time as possible between taking XGF-1 and taking something that increases insulin.
Both are crucial to the muscle-building process. Following these directions will ensure insulin and IGF-1 are not working against each other.
XGF-1 has a cumulative effect. Take as consistently as possible, at least 4 times per week. Taking XGF-1 4 times per week for 2 weeks and 5 times per week for 2 weeks out of a month will use all 72 capsules. Breaks of 4 days or longer may slow progress.
