Carbohydrates are often at the center of controversy. You’ve got low-carb and zero-carb advocates on one hand, and higher carb advocates on the other hand. What if you didn’t have to choose? Instead, what if your two highest carbs meals were metabolically productive? If you haven’t tried 5% Nutrition Freak Show: Legendary Series, what are you waiting for? Grab those excess carbs and make them work for you! In this article, we will break down Freak Show and see how exciting this product really is. 

First, Let’s Take A Closer Look At Insulin

Before we dive into what makes Freak Show an exceptional product, we need a fundamental understanding of what insulin is and what it does. Insulin is one of the body’s most powerful natural hormones. For clarity, hormones are part of the Endocrine System. They function as chemical messengers that are released into the bloodstream. Then they are carried to a target receptor of specific cells, such as muscle cells. Once there, these chemical messages tell your body what to do and how soon to do it. 

Like the hormones testosterone and GH, insulin affects the body in a metabolically positive way. Yet insulin also has a negative aspect to it. If we take a closer look, we see that it’s a protein hormone released by the pancreas when levels of glucose increase above normal. The functions of insulin happen over a series of events that begin when it binds to target receptors on its target cell membrane. At this point, the receptors are activated. The end result of this activation is that the absorption and utilization of glucose, production of ATP, amino acid absorption, and protein synthesis are all enhanced. 

Insulin is often called a “double-edged sword”. Here’s why. A negative function of insulin is that it promotes fat storage by converting excess carbohydrates to fat. There’s more to it than this, but this explanation tells us what we need to know for the purposes of this article. (1, 2) 

What Is An Insulin Mimicker?

First, let’s clear up some potential confusion. The terms “insulin mimicker”, “glucose disposal agent”, and “nutrient partitioner” can be and often are used interchangeably by supplement companies to describe the same type of product. The confusion comes in with the marketing of this type of supplement. Supplement companies tend to use only one term or the other for their product, and potential customers don’t know that these terms all mean the same thing. So, you may see ads for several of these products, all using a different term, and not realize that they are all the same thing. To be clear, the term we chose for Freak Show is “insulin mimicker”.

Now, with that out of the way, the purpose of an insulin mimicker is to mimic the actions of insulin. Once ingested, carbohydrates are broken down into glucose to be used as energy by the body. Any excess is then used for glycogen replenishment. From there, any remaining excess carbohydrates are stored as fat by the actions of insulin. An insulin mimicker helps the body break down carbohydrates and use them solely for glycogen replenishment and immediate energy needs. Any potential fat storage is bypassed. 

So, if you take an insulin mimicker such as 5% Freak Show: Legendary Series with your two highest-carb meals of the day, those carbs will be used for muscle recovery and growth. It goes without saying that Freak Show is a perfect example of 5% innovation. If you’re looking for a cutting-edge insulin mimicker, you’ve found it!

Freak Show: Legendary Series Benefits

Let’s take a look at the specific benefits of Freak Show: Legendary Series. 

• Promotes Glycogen Storage - Glycogen replenishment is optimized by preventing excess carbs from being stored as fat.
• Creates Insane Muscle Fullness - Since carbohydrates pull water into the muscles, you can expect skin-bursting muscle fullness or water-based pumps. Take this effect even further by adding Full As F*ck and Crea-TEN or Core Creatine Monohydrate to your supplement program.
• Enhances Muscular Hydration - As noted, carbs pull water into your muscles so you experience hyper-hydration for optimal performance.
• Supports Increased Cellular Energy - Maximum glycogen replenishment means more ATP will be available for your workouts. 
• Blocks Fat Storage - By pulling carbs into your muscles, you effectively sidestep potential fat storage. This is not an excuse to overeat carbohydrates, or eat junk carbs. Keep your calories clean if you want to experience all the muscle growth and fat loss benefits.

Understanding How To Use Freak Show: Legendary Series

As per label directions, you can begin by taking 3 capsules (a 1/2 serving) with your two highest carbohydrate meals of the day. Do not use it in place of carbohydrates, or take it with a low carb meal. For maximum results, take 6 capsules (a full serving) with your two highest carbohydrate meals. 

One meal could be your post-workout meal, which should be high in carbs to restore glycogen burned during your training session. Another meal might be breakfast. Of all your regular meals, breakfast is the best time to eat a higher carb meal. That’s because you’re coming off of a 6-10 hour “fast” (depending on how long you sleep). First thing in the morning is a critical time to take in carbohydrates and protein.
