A big thanks to @SNSJS and owner Steve (who turns out is pretty much my neighbor) for sending me over their new rendition of Glycophase! I’m a fan of GDA products in general and have paid for and used the older version of Glycophase with much enjoyment. Yes, I am very happily a Gaspari representative, but we currently do not offer a GDA product - no bias here.
A brief introduction…
- Happily with Gaspari Nutrition for 2+ years
- Early to mid 20s y.o.
- Graduated with Masters in Public Health last Spring
- Working but planning on applying for PhD program in the future
- Big fan of competitive bodybuilding
- Big fan of supplementation & training
- Desire to formulate products in the future
For this log, I will unfortunately not be using a blood glucose meter. While this would be impressive and does help show empirical results from the product, I 1. do not own a device 2. think its unnecessary for what I’m trying to accomplish with this log.
Basically, I will be introducing Glycophase this coming week with high-carbohydrate meals along with meticulously tracking weight. This is done in my caloric surplus phase, so the introduction of a GDA should mitigate the potential fat gain and instead, partition the nutrients into the muscle. I am roughly ~300 calories above my TDEE for maintenance, putting me at 3500 daily calories. I am fairly lean at this point (202 lbs, 5’11") and believe that Glycophase should continue this trajectory especially with the introduction of more calories as time goes on.
If you are curious about the ingredient profile and specifically what GDA products accomplish, check out the video @PricePlow published below.
Thank you for reading and following along!

One of my typical later meals in the day. Some veggies, chicken breast, and lots of potatoes with ‘diet’ ketchup. Not a lot of fat and pretty carbohydrate heavy, so this was a good opportunity to test out that new-new!

Upon wakeup… no pump, relaxed, noticeable vascularity which isn’t 100% present regularly unless I’ve been doing upper body training. Weight hasn’t moved much, at about 202.5 lbs right now but the calories will increase as I go. Time to hit some legs today.

I heard that GDA’s are more (only?) effective with simple sugars, not complex carbs. No?

I’ve taken them with oatmeal and sweet potato. Still works great, but the effects aren’t as fast because the digestion rate of said carbs.
