What is Glucagon?
Glucagon is the counter-regulatory hormone for insulin. It is an important hormone involved in carbohydrate metabolism. Produced by the pancreas, it is released when the glucose level in the blood is low (hypoglycemia), causing the liver to convert stored glycogen into glucose and release it into the bloodstream. The action of glucagon is thus opposite to that of insulin, which instructs the body's cells to take in glucose from the blood in times of satiation. It is also released in reponse to a protein meal or hunger. It also releases fatty acids used for energy. High levels of glucagon oppose insulin resistance.

Started liquid fish oil, a shot glass works pretty good. One in the am and one pm. Here is the trick, take a deep breath, hold it, shot the oil and then power down as much water as you can while holding your breath.
