Freak Show is a glucose removal agent by Rich Piana's 5% Nutrition. The main function of a GDA is to decrease the amount of insulin secreted by the body when eating high-carbohydrate meals. They act somewhat like insulin and transport glucose into the muscle cells and therefore less insulin is needed to be released by the body.

Although insulin is very beneficial in transporting glucose to muscle cells, it is also responsible for moving glucose into fat cells. This is why insulin is often given such a bad reputation.

By decreasing the amount of insulin secreted by the body, it will in turn help optimize insulin receptors and help decrease fat gains. The glucose scavenger may then be responsible for shuttling glucose into the muscle and staying away from the fat cells. This results in a decrease in fat gain and an increase in lean muscle gain.

A good quality GDA will allow you to eat more carbohydrates to help promote lean muscle gain and aid in performance and limit the amount of those carbohydrates eventually stored as body fat.
