Transparent Labs Cyanidin 3-Glucoside

If you're training hard but body composition improvements have stalled or your feeling those carbs going your mass, not your goals, the problem may be something else. The problem isn't your training or discipline—it's where your body directs the nutrients you're consuming. Without proper nutrient partitioning (or shuttling), calories get stored as fat instead of fueling performance and recovery.

Transparent Labs Cyanidin 3-Glucoside (C3G) delivers 300mg of purified anthocyanin that acts as a nutrient shuttle—directing carbohydrates and other nutrients into muscle tissue while limiting fat storage.

Nutrient Partitioning – C3G activates AMPK (adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase), your body's master metabolic regulator. This activation signals fat cells to reject nutrient storage while simultaneously triggering muscle cells to request additional fuel. Research shows C3G improves insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake specifically in muscle tissue—meaning the carbs you need for training get stored as muscle glycogen, not body fat.

Enhanced Exercise Performance and Recovery – Studies on C3G supplementation show it upregulates PGC-1α in skeletal muscle, a key protein regulating mitochondrial biogenesis and oxidative metabolism. Athletes taking C3G demonstrate improved lactate metabolism, enhanced exercise performance, and reduced fatigue. For endurance athletes consuming hundreds of grams of carbs daily to support training, this means better fuel utilization and faster glycogen replenishment between sessions.

Antioxidant Protection During Hard Training – Intense training generates oxidative stress that can impair recovery and performance. C3G's potent antioxidant properties help combat exercise-induced free radicals while reducing inflammation markers. Research shows C3G supplementation maintains redox balance during acute exercise, protecting muscle tissue and supporting faster recovery.

How to Use Cyanidin 3-Glucoside

Daily Use: Take 1 capsule (300mg) daily with a carbohydrate-containing meal, ideally pre-workout or with your largest carb meal.

Strategic Timing: For nutrient partitioning benefits, take before training when you're consuming pre-workout carbs. For body composition support, take with your highest-carb meal of the day.

Consistent Use: Benefits accumulate with regular supplementation—4-8 weeks of consistent use shows the most significant metabolic improvements.
