Abstract

Enhanced muscle performance, including strength, recovery and endurance can be achieved by means of improved glucose transport and improved glycogen loading within animal muscle tissue through the administration of an effective amount of a pinitol compound. Pinitol alone, or in combination with a synergistic amount of insulin, is effective for controlling insulin-dependent diabetes.
