    Question on 550-XD


    Very interested in running this product. Have seen you guys touting its recomp effects and that's what has me intetested. Thinking of running it standalone for 8 weeks at 4 caps a day. My concern is the Arimistane, which I understand to be 50 mg per cap. That's 200 mg per day; Erase practically cripples me at 75 mg. However, I know you guys also praise this product for how well your joints feel on it. I guess my question is, as someone whose joints are sensitive to Arimistane, how do you imagine my joints would do on 4 caps a day? Keeping in mind that my goal is recomp, would I maybe be better served running 2 caps of 550-XD alongside something else? If I did run it with something else (perhaps low-dose Superdrol, which I have a ton of), would 2 caps a day be enough to see the recomp effects? What about 2 caps of 550 with 2 caps of Epi-V?

    Only have one cycle under my belt - Halodrol last year - but have been training almost 19 years, currently sitting at 230 pounds at 6'0" and already carry a lot more mass than Mother Nature ever intended me to, which is why I think the higher dosages are appropriate despite a limited history with anabolics. Probably about 20% bodyfat; primary goal right now is to bring that number down, which is why the 550 appeals to me. Any thoughts are appreciated.

    550xd /=/ arimistane @50mg per cap -- no
    that would be PCT Black @50mg of arimistane per cap
    i cannot disclose how much arimistane is in the 550, sorry
    a thought for you tho: what about a 1-andro or 1-alpha + 550 stack?

    Ah; in the old 550-XD thread from its relaunch last year the Arimistane question was posed and one of the other guys answered that it was 50 mg per cap. That's where I got the 50 mg from. As for running it with 1-Alpha, it's not that I'm opposed to it, only that NP is blowing out the 550 at $11 per bottle less than 1-Alpha, so I minimize my costs by either running 550 standalone or pairing it with something already in my stash. I'm already leaning toward running it standalone, and the revelation that the Arimistane is less than 50 mg per cap pushes me further in that direction. Thanks for the reply.

    So this will be your second cycle correct?? If so I would stay away from SD never mind stacking it. I would run 2 bottles of 550-XD and wait until you get a couple of runs under your belt then maybe to a stack with andro or alpha.. I dont think the amount of arimistane in 550-xd will give you any trouble. Also 550-xd has joint support as well.. Good luck!!

    yeah nutra has great pricing on the 550 indeed..so sad to see this one go
    i think you'll be fine with straight 550, and the amount of arimistane is negligible (nowhere close to 50mg/cap)
    are you planning to run a log?

    yes the 2-step conversion to 19nor (nandrolone) has eased many a sore joint

    550 is as soldi as it gets. I know a lot of people are looking for big weight increases but when you find out that you gained a few lbs and lost 2 to 3 percent body fat you start doing some math and .. aren't you actually better off in the long run. If I were to use only 1 product it would be 550...
