Blackstone Labs - GlycoLog - 180 Capsules

Blackstone Labs Glycolog is one of the most comprehensive Glucose Disposal Agents on the market — a fully transparent, multi-mechanism formula designed to do one thing: make carbohydrates work for muscle growth instead of fat storage. Insulin is the most anabolic hormone in the body, and Glycolog is built to amplify its effects by supporting glucose uptake into muscle tissue, improving insulin sensitivity, and partitioning nutrients toward muscle rather than fat. Seven fully disclosed, clinically dosed ingredients. 60 servings of 3 capsules. Stimulant-free.†

What's Inside Blackstone Labs Glycolog

• Gymnema Leaf Extract (10:1, standardized to 25% Gymnemic Acids) — 1,000mg — the highest-dosed ingredient in the formula and the anchor of the formula. Gymnema sylvestre (from India) has been researched extensively for blood glucose management. Gymnemic acids — the standardized active fraction — have been shown to enhance insulin function and improve glucose uptake, reduce plasma glucose levels, and in comprehensive literature reviews, have also been linked to reductions in leptin levels, body weight, and BMI in overweight subjects. At 1,000mg of a 10:1 extract, Glycolog delivers what is effectively 10g equivalent of raw gymnema — far beyond what most GDA products include.†
• Bitter Melon (standardized to 10% bitters) — 500mg — bitter melon has been used in traditional medicine across Asia, Africa, and South America for glucose management for centuries. The active bitter compounds (charantin, polypeptide-p, and vicine) structurally resemble insulin and have been shown to increase glucose uptake and utilization by skeletal muscles, reduce liver glycogen formation from excess glucose, and suppress inflammation in adipose (fat) tissue. Bitter melon's insulin-mimetic activity provides a direct glucose uptake pathway that complements the insulin-sensitizing mechanisms of gymnema and berberine.†
• Super Berberine (Berberine-Cyclodextrin Complex) — 300mg — Super Berberine is a trademarked, enhanced bioavailability form of berberine that uses cyclodextrin complexing to dramatically improve absorption over standard berberine. Standard berberine has poor bioavailability due to first-pass metabolism. The cyclodextrin complex solves this the same way Hi-Tech's Cyclosome technology does — by encapsulating berberine in a complex that survives early metabolism and delivers more active compound to circulation. Berberine itself activates AMPK (adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase), a key enzyme that regulates cellular energy metabolism and directly supports glucose uptake by skeletal muscle cells. Berberine also lowers blood glucose by reducing hepatic glucose production and improving insulin receptor sensitivity.†
• Cinnamon Bark Extract (25:1, 30% Polyphenols) — 250mg — cinnamon's glucose management properties come from its polyphenol content, which mimics insulin activity at the cellular level and improves insulin receptor sensitivity. It slows gastric emptying, reducing the speed at which glucose enters the bloodstream after a carbohydrate-containing meal. Research has shown cinnamon extract supports reductions in blood glucose, cuts body fat, and increases lean mass in clinical settings. At a 25:1 extract ratio standardized to 30% polyphenols, Blackstone is using a highly concentrated form — not the generic cinnamon powder most products use.†
• Chromium (as Chromium Polynicotinate) — 300mcg — at 300mcg, Glycolog's chromium dose sits in the upper end of the commonly cited 200-400mcg clinical range. Chromium is an essential mineral that activates chromodulin, a protein that amplifies insulin receptor signaling at the cellular level. Without adequate chromium, insulin's ability to facilitate glucose transport into cells is impaired. Chromium polynicotinate is one of the most bioavailable forms of chromium available.†
• Sodium R-Lipoate — 150mg — the sodium salt of R-Alpha Lipoic Acid (R-ALA), which is the naturally occurring, biologically active isomer of alpha lipoic acid. R-ALA is significantly more bioavailable than the synthetic S-ALA found in most standard ALA supplements. Sodium R-Lipoate acts through multiple mechanisms relevant to glucose management: it activates GLUT4 glucose transporters to move glucose into muscle cells, supports insulin signaling pathways, acts as a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative stress associated with glucose metabolism, and has been shown to reduce appetite and increase energy expenditure.†
• BioPerine (Black Pepper Fruit Extract, 95% Piperine) — 5mg — the absorption amplifier of the formula. BioPerine is a patented, standardized black pepper extract that inhibits certain metabolic enzymes responsible for breaking down the active compounds in the formula. By slowing metabolic clearance, BioPerine extends the time the other six ingredients remain active in the bloodstream — amplifying the overall effectiveness of the entire formula without adding any independent GDA activity of its own.†

Frequently Asked Questions About Blackstone Labs Glycolog

1. What is a Glucose Disposal Agent and do I actually need one?
   A Glucose Disposal Agent (GDA) is a supplement that supports the body's ability to efficiently process and partition carbohydrates — specifically directing glucose toward muscle tissue for glycogen storage and energy rather than fat tissue for storage. When you eat carbohydrates, your body releases insulin to manage the rise in blood glucose. The problem is that insulin is a non-selective storage hormone — it will store glucose and nutrients in fat cells just as readily as muscle cells depending on metabolic context. A GDA improves insulin sensitivity, mimics insulin activity at muscle cells, and activates glucose transport mechanisms specifically in skeletal muscle, making high-carbohydrate meals more anabolic and less lipogenic. For anyone who trains hard and eats significant amounts of carbohydrates, a well-formulated GDA is one of the most underutilized tools in physique optimization.†
2. Who is Glycolog designed for and when should it be taken?
   Glycolog is most valuable for three specific training contexts. Athletes and bodybuilders in a caloric surplus or bulking phase who are eating high carbohydrate intakes and want to maximize the muscle glycogen storage from those carbs while minimizing fat gain. Individuals doing carb refeeds or cheat meals who want to use the elevated insulin environment productively rather than absorbing all of that glucose into fat storage. And carb-cycling athletes who want to fully capitalize on high-carb training days. Take 3 capsules 10-20 minutes before your highest-carbohydrate meal. Most users take it twice daily with the two largest carbohydrate meals. Do not use before low-carb meals — Glycolog is specifically designed for high-carbohydrate contexts and taking it without a significant carbohydrate load can cause blood glucose to drop too low.†
3. What does "Super Berberine" mean and how is it different from regular berberine?
   Standard berberine has a well-documented absorption problem: it is poorly absorbed through the gut and rapidly metabolized before meaningful concentrations reach systemic circulation. Most berberine supplements require very high doses (1,000-1,500mg daily) to achieve meaningful blood levels. Super Berberine uses a cyclodextrin complexing technology that encapsulates berberine in a water-soluble complex, protecting it from early degradation and delivering significantly more active berberine per milligram than standard forms. Blackstone Labs uses Super Berberine at 300mg because the enhanced bioavailability means this dose delivers the effectiveness of a much larger standard berberine dose.†
4. Can I take Glycolog if I'm not on a specific diet or cutting?
   Glycolog works regardless of your specific dietary approach as long as you're eating carbohydrates with your meals. It is not a fat burner and does not contain thermogenics or stimulants, so it is fully compatible with any training phase including bulking, maintenance, and recomposition. It is not intended to replace dietary discipline — it amplifies the results of what you're already eating. It stacks cleanly with any other Blackstone Labs product including prohormones, protein, and pre-workouts since it contains no stimulants and works through a completely different mechanism. Do not take if you have diabetes or are managing blood sugar with medication — consult your physician before use.†

How to Take Blackstone Labs Glycolog

Take 3 capsules with a high-carbohydrate meal, twice per day. Do not exceed 6 capsules per day. Take 10-20 minutes before the meal for best results. Use only with carbohydrate-containing meals — taking without adequate carbohydrate intake may cause blood glucose to drop too low. Do not use if you have diabetes or are managing blood sugar with prescription medication without physician guidance.†
