I stubbled across this product "X-Factor." Anyone know anything about this supplement? Not quite sure what to make of it...

[njlovehandles]

Aracodonic Acid or something like that. From what I understatnd it causes inflamation, which is its mechanism of growing muscle. From what I have seen at other boards it works pretty good. The problem is you cant take things like fish oil or any other NSAI's while on it. I beleive the man behind it is Bill Lewelyn. Thats about all the info i got on it for ya. There are logs out there, try and find em. Let me know if you try it, I would like to know how it goes.

Probably due to the extra inflamation of the muscle. Strange product! I dont think I would ever touch it.

That kind of sounds like a dangerous side effect to the rest of the body.

There was a good debate of this product on BulkNut. Here is the link, scroll down to troubles post "http://forums.1fast400.com/?showtopic=22971"

it is supposed to increase the testosterone receptors in skeletal muscle, according to Llewellyn's article about it...and as a result it (somehow) results in increased muscle soreness, because in the end you're working the muscle as hard as you possibly can...in his book, Llewellyn compared the feeling of AA to the muscle-soreness feeling you get when you first start training after a layoff, or switch things up to hit new muscles...

I think I'll give it a shot and let you all know how it went

Let us know how it goes...I can always use another 15lbs.

I remember when this came out, Bill was really humping as the next great thing. Kind of work out less and get bigger! I heard mixed reviews and never considered it for myself. I do like the theory though.

In-depth X-Factor directions: from the manufacturer

X-Factor

Directions: Take 1000mg daily for 50 days even on days you don't workout. Split up your dosage and take the largest dosage 1 hour before you weight train.

Typical Gains:
1-2 lbs average per week in lean muscle mass gains
fat loss
strength gains
great pumps

Avoid: Omega 3's (flax/fish oil supplements), high olive oil use, high fish intake (try to limit to 2 servings per week), high peanut butter intake (including peanut butter in protein bars), milk thistle, CLA, NAC, Tylenol, aspirin, Ibuprofen, or other anti-inflammatory drugs/supplements while take X-Factor.

Where to Get Dietary Fats: The majority of dietary fat while using X-Factor should come from animal sources such as whole milk, cream, cheese, fatty beef, and dark poultry meat. Extra Virgin Coconut oil is also a superb choice of fat to use while on X-Factor.

Side Effects: Most commonly users may experience more than normal levels of soreness from workouts and/or oils skin/pimples.

Additional Info: Although every user will respond differently, most users experience the soreness as early as the end of week 1 with noticeable gains in the 2-3 week range. If you don't see results be the end of week 3, contact us so that we may review your diet more closely to see if there may be something interfering with the product. Fat loss is pretty significant so monitor your calories based on your goals and needs.

X-Factor does stack well with other products including vasodilators, creatine, and androgens. However, we do recommend that X-Factor be taken by itself if taking it for the first time. In this way, the user can more easily distinguish the benefits of the product. Typically, users who use X-Factor during PCT from a hormonal cycle will not see the 1-2 lbs per week gains due to suppressed testosterone levels. However, the product may be effective in helping maintain more of the gains than if going through PCT without it.

Does X-Factor Require PCT? NO! X-Factor is not a hormone and does not require any kind of PCT or liver supplements and will not suppress natural testosterone.

^bump.


weird product...

[go Yankees]

interesting, weird stuff for something that's supposed to be a just fatty acid

[metalmarty]

I was considering giving this a whirl. But first I must assess the side effects. It has to have some... nothing has no sides.
