GDAs

I just ordered another bottle of SNS gda. I am using TKD and consume about 30g dextrose with my pre workout drink. Would it even make sense to take a GDA then? Would it help with those carbs or do nothing? I’ve been wondering this for a while now and wanted your peoples thoughts on it.

i think glucose disposal agents are best after with carbs when your muscles have used glucose stores and are primed for uptake. The GDA helps hyper saturate them.

I would not use them before training. It is possible although not very likely you could go hypo during your workout, your muscles get pumped and this pumping action fills the muscle belly mechanically from work. You want to replenish after with glycogen and protein for optimal growth.
