Anabolic Substrate Management

Meaning

Anabolic Substrate Management is the precise orchestration of nutrient availability and utilization to promote net tissue building and repair processes within the body efficiently. This involves managing the flow of amino acids, glucose, and lipids relative to concurrent anabolic hormone activity such as that driven by IGF-1. Effective management is key to optimizing lean mass accretion and accelerating post-stress recovery cycles. Clinical success often hinges on partitioning nutrients away from storage and toward synthesis pathways.
