Hey Everyone,

I have taken PH's and natty cycles before but been away for a little bit. Im back at it now!

I have been trying to search for a complete stack with dosage and all the info but cannot not find anything helpful. I think if we had a complete list with dosage and information it would give many newbies such as my self great help. I am looking to use the following supps for my next stack.

ARA
Anabeta
Erase

Im so confused when I try and research ARA, I see many people talking about X gels, is that ARA? I would love to do a 8 week cycle for these products but understand some are shorter then others and or longer. Can someone please explain what products of ARA you recommend as well with the dosing. I have taken Erase Original and it dried me out well. Many people say that the original Anabeta and Erase are much better is this true?

If im doing a 8 Week cycle how would you recommend me going about the following, products, dosage and tips?

Thank You as always for your help and input.

First off, ArA isn't really measured by amount of weeks. You only use it on training days and the suggested amount is 50 training days so it ends up being more than 8 weeks usually. And yes, x gels is ArA. ArA is short for the main ingredient in X gels.

As far as dosing, use erase and anabeta as suggested on the product label. Start with 1g of ArA for a little bit and u can work your way up to 1.5g area if you want. Only training days and pre workout. Hope this helps

Unless you want your joints to be hurting REAL bad, I would not recommend ArA and Erase.

I'm currently on xfa and the new formula erase and my joints feel the same. I'm sure it's different for everyone though. It may be because I'm taking the new formula but idk never tried og

X-Gels > XFA. You're going to feel more joint pain without stupidly-included Omega-3s.

Yeah I would have rather gotten xgels but xfa was at a much better price. After I'm done ill wait a couple months then hopefully get xgels and maybe anabeta or something with it

You "could" give X Gels and Erase a try, the beauty is you can play with the dosages of both and find your own sweet spot. Don't let E2 go down too low or you'll really feel it in your joints. At 1.5g a day of ArA i've never had joint issues, but others react differently. Let us know how it goes man.

Xgels is indeed Arachidonic Acid (Ara for short). The cycle you have planned will serve you well. As far as Anabeta and Erase potency, the new Anabeta is superior no doubt to the old whilst the old Erase may have a slight edge over the new if anecdotal feedback is the only measure.
IMO PES did the right thing by dropping arimistane and reformulating and I look forward to giving it a try.

Start with 1g of Xgels and see how that treats you.

The standard ArA cycle would contain;
1-2g ArA (1.5g seems to be the sweet spot)
2g LCLT (or some form of carinitine)
3-6g GMS

-----------------------

Advanced Cycle:
1-2g ArA
2g LCLT
3-6g GMS
2-5g HCA
4caps ABE

Each having their own reason, of course.

Carnitine would would inhibit ArA being broken down into thromboxanes, enhances lipid packaging and enterocyte (lymphatic) absorption

GMS enhance emulsification in attempt to kinetically enhance the delivery of ArA to the enterocytes, and then to the lymphatics

HCA will aid in cellular uptake of extra ArA

Anabeta Elite (via the ingredient Lodhra Bark) going to inhibit ArA being broken down into luekotrienes

EDIT: double post

BUT; to answer your question on ArA w/ Erase; I've used both and enjoyed both. I think they would make a nice stack as long as you can handle joint sides. I never had an issue with Erase and up until my last ArA run never had an issue with it either. GL

The joint issues are very individualized with ArA and Erase it seems. Some are fine, while others may end up noticing issues.

How do these supps look? I know that Ara is only taken on training days. but do I need more bottles or Erase and ABE for a 8 Week Run?

I've never had issues
Same here. My last run was with Erase (OG). I then ran a bottle of Free Test afterwards (so that's a 12-week arimistane run essentially) because I had a bottle from goodness knows when on my shelf that I found. If anything, near the end of the 12-weeks, I felt a little sluggish and I would say that's most definitely due to too much e suppression, but that didn't happen until around week 10. No joint issues that I can strike up to the XF or the arimistane though.

For more info on ArA please visit Arachidonic.com

X-gels or X-Factor are the two main ArA products out there. X-Factor has been on the market about 9 years longer, is the original ArA product, has been clinically validated w two human clinical trials, and is actually cheaper at NP. Cant go wrong w either one though.

I just started using Erase today as a matter of fact. I'm on bottle #2 with ArA and have experienced zero joint pain. Since I am adding Erase to the mix, this is my arsenal:

Pre workout:
1.5 grams Ara
2 grams of PLCAR
3 grams of DAA
2 grams of TMG

Post workout:
Protein
(1) Erase

I will be taking Erase 3 times spread out through the day. On my work out days, I will be taking one pill post work out per recommendation.

Hmmmm... I wonder if it makes a difference to split up the Erase doses (OG). I might try that soon.

They are exactly the same, ergo they are both clinically validated.

If we are trying to one-up each other and be petty, then i'll remind all people ITT that SNS fives away free product when you save up enough labels :)

OG Erase and OG Erase Pro use the same active but for a full serving of EPro you will use 75mg of the active (to get the proper dosages of the secondary ingredients) whereas OG Erase contains only 25mg of the active so you can customize dosing

Well, hopefully in a couple of weeks or so, I will let you if this dosage is working for me....

What products are you using for the following?

3 grams of DAA
2 grams of TMG

What about LCLT and GMS?

You'll need two bottle of ABE and Erase for an 8 week run.

Plenty have done the full dose vs splitting up throughout the day and there weren't any noticeable differences.

The health/wellness section is interesting.
Thanks, that will also get a big update as there have been a lot of recent health studies on ArA. Undoubtedly one of the safest ingredients on the market.

I just saw this. Lowers CVD risk? Interdasting.
Absolutely. Cambridge showed it to lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Baylor showed it to reduce systemic inflammation markers. Now just wait for the University of Tampa results to be published (they told us today May 1st at the latest)... groundbreaking efficacy results on their 8 week human clinical trial on our X-Factor original formula.

It's quickly amounting to ArA having the best safety and efficacy profile of any ingredient on the marketplace, and we couldn't be happier to have been the company to bring the ingredient to market and invest hundreds of thousands into human clinical trials on it with top American Universities.

Much kudos on getting a study performed on it for sure. Excited to see the results and the methodology.

I saw Bill post that study in the ISSN facebook page yesterday which is rather fascinating. Especially for an omega 6

Absolutely, the standard model of EFAs is being turned upside down. ArA is quite heart healthy.
