Alongside with GW to research, I have done GW at 10mg for 5 weeks, finishing now and I loved the endurance gained...bump that dose up to 20mg if you want much more fat burning and endurance increases in your research subject.

Research each 5-8 weeks alongisde eachother for added benefis.

Hi,

First of all thanks!

What is interesting is I have read AICAR has good oral bioavailability Might not be true though. Might be the reason why only GTG carries (carried?) oral AICAR, but the other suppliers not.

Regarding GW, it didn't do much regarding fat loss for me. Everybody seems to agree on the endurance part. So it might be the greatest thing for endurance, but I am not interested in that nowadays, so didn't really pay attention to that.
