As much as I respect your research and R&D...I kinda side here with real world results from some of the top physique (NOT bodybuilding - though they following the same principle) athletes in the world.
And this to ingest between 30g-50g of simple carbs - best is dextrose (basic sugar) - post weight training along with an equal amount of protein. This amount of carbs is needed for adequate insulin response which drives protein and BCAA synthesis into the muscles.
How your revolutionary product achieves this without an adequate amount of carbs...I have no idea.
Below a response from our Head of Formulations:
Carbohydrate are not the only ingredient that can stimulate an effective Insulin response. “Glycogenic synthesis stack” contains ingredients that are used in people who are type 2 diabetics, that suffer from insulin resistance. The correct Amino Acid Profile will also contain the right amount of glycogenic amino acids.
A glucogenic amino acid is an amino acid that can be converted into glucose through gluconeogenesis. The production of glucose from glucogenic amino acids involves these amino acids' being converted to alpha keto acids and then to glucose, with both processes occurring in the liver. This mechanism predominates during catabolysis, rising as fasting and starvation increase in severity.
It’s all about the formulation and the quality of the ingredients. Remember Insulin is the key that unlocks the cell to to receive the (muscle building and restoring) amino acids, not carbohydrate. Ordinary carbohydrates are only used by novices who doe not really understand biochemistry.
As a matter of interest, here is a list of four things that raise insulin, and how to eliminate them.
Stress (Cortisol):
When a person is exposed to chronic stress, their adrenal glands release a constant stream of the hormone cortisol. Cortisol tells the liver to release sugar into the blood stream in preparation for fighting or fleeing, which then causes the pancreas to release insulin to bring blood sugar levels back down. When this happens on a constant basis, the elevated insulin stores fat from the food you take in. If you can't eliminate the stress from your job, try yoga, Pilates, or breathing exercises; these have a definite calming effect on the central nervous system.
Artificial Sweeteners:
People think that by replacing sugar with Splenda and Sweet'n'Low they will be able to curb insulin levels. Many studies, however, have found the hormonal response to both sweeteners to be similar (if not the same). In addition to raised insulin, artificial sweeteners have been linked to chronic, degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Cancer. So, if you must use a sweetener, go with the real thing. Even though you'll still get releases of insulin, you will avoid a host of toxic, carcinogenic chemicals present in fake sugars.
Chewing Gum:
In addition to the artificial sweeteners present in most brands of chewing gum, the simple act of constant chewing may cause insulin levels to rise. This is due to the constant release of saliva from the mouth's salivary glands. The body is expecting to receive food and nutrients, so it releases insulin in anticipation of the digestive work it must perform. This backfires when no food enters the stomach and insulin levels stay up.
Caffeine:
Caffeine is known to spike insulin even when taken black or unsweetened. This may have to do with its stimulating effects on the nervous system, which causes stress and initiates the release of cortisol. There are also many toxic compounds in coffee itself, which overtaxes the liver. Be sure to limit coffee, tea, soda, and chocolate (which contains some caffeine) to a few cups/ounces per day to keep insulin levels in check.
Though these factors don't effect the insulin levels of everyone equally, they are important things to consider when attempting to lose weight and maintain health.
