Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals InsuLoad is a nutrient partitioning tablet built around carb-heavy meals: per tablet, retailer label listings show 166.7mg gymnema sylvestre extract, 166.7mg bitter melon extract, 166.7mg green coffee extract, 100mg berberine HCl (from phellodendron amurense), 83.3mg R-alpha lipoic acid, three more 83.3mg botanicals and 120mcg chromium. You get 120 tablets, taken one at a time up to three times a day with carbohydrates, so a bottle runs 40 days at the full daily amount. Hi-Tech delivers it in its Cyclosome tablet base and markets it for both bulking and cutting phases, for men and women. Hi-Tech's own page shows the panel only as an image, so the doses here come from two retailer listings that agree. Allergens are not published; the tablets contain FD&C Blue #2 and Red #40.†

Where InsuLoad Fits
InsuLoad sits in the category lifters call glucose disposal agents: a supplement you take with your biggest carb meals so those carbs are put to work around training. It is stimulant-light, so it stacks alongside a pre-workout or a fat burner without piling on caffeine. Lifters often run it during a bulk to keep a high-carb diet in check, or during a cut on refeed days. It does not replace a sensible diet, and it will not do much if your carb intake is already low.†
Cyclosome Delivery
Cyclosome is Hi-Tech's tablet base: hydroxypropyl beta cyclodextrin (HPBCD) paired with phosphatidylcholine 75%. Cyclodextrins form a ring around an ingredient molecule, and phosphatidylcholine is a phospholipid that forms a lipid layer around that complex. Hi-Tech uses the system across its line with the goal of better absorption. You will see both ingredients in the other ingredients line on this label.†
Gymnema Sylvestre 166.7mg and Bitter Melon 166.7mg
Gymnema is an Ayurvedic herb standardized here to 75% gymnemic acids, and bitter melon is a gourd standardized to 20% charantin. Both have a long traditional history around carbohydrate-rich meals and are studied for how the body handles dietary carbs. Gymnema is also known for briefly dulling the taste of sweetness. Together they form the backbone of the formula.†
Berberine HCl 100mg
Berberine is a yellow plant alkaloid, supplied here from phellodendron amurense bark at 97% berberine HCl. It is one of the most researched botanicals in the nutrient partitioning space and is studied for its effects on cellular energy pathways. At three tablets a day you take 300mg, below the amounts used in most research. Berberine can interact with a number of medications, so read the caution section below.†
R-Alpha Lipoic Acid 83.3mg and Chromium 120mcg
Alpha lipoic acid is an antioxidant your body uses in energy production, and the R form is the version found naturally in the body. Chromium is a trace mineral that supports normal macronutrient metabolism, and polynicotinate is a niacin-bound form. Three tablets deliver 360mcg of chromium a day. Cinnamon, banaba and fenugreek round out the formula at 83.3mg each.†
Frequently Asked Questions
-
When should I take InsuLoad?
Take one tablet with each of your higher-carb meals, up to three a day. Most people pair one with the post-workout meal, since that is usually the biggest carb serving of the day. If you only eat one big carb meal, one tablet is enough. Do not take more than three tablets in a day.† -
Is InsuLoad a stimulant?
No stimulant is listed on the panel. Green coffee extract is there for its chlorogenic acids and naturally carries a small amount of caffeine, but Hi-Tech does not publish a caffeine figure. Most people will not feel it the way they feel a pre-workout. If you are very caffeine sensitive, keep that in mind.† -
Can women use InsuLoad?
Hi-Tech says it can be used by both men and women. It contains no hormonal compounds. Do not use it if you are pregnant, nursing or trying to conceive, since several of the botanicals have not been studied in pregnancy. Talk to your doctor first if you have any medical condition.† -
Can I stack it with a prohormone or fat burner?
Hi-Tech markets InsuLoad for both bulking and cutting phases, and it is commonly stacked with either. Because it has no meaningful stimulant load, it does not double up with a fat burner's caffeine. Stacking with any hormonal product still means following that product's PCT and on-cycle support plan. Ask our staff if you want help building the stack.†
How to Take Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals InsuLoad
Take 1 tablet with a carbohydrate-containing meal, up to three times per day. Do not exceed 3 tablets in 24 hours. Take it with food, not on an empty stomach. Do not use if pregnant or nursing. If you take any prescription medication, especially for blood sugar, see a physician before use.
