Can someone let me know how big Xgels are? Like the size of the gel cap. I have a hard time swallowing large pills. Thanks

Quite small in comparison to many caps, but more oval.

I can take all 6 at once no problems
 
Fyi to anybody thinking of buying the powder ara..........dont!! I bought 100grams thinking it was a bargain before i read through the thread where people have stated its 10%. I've now gone up to 15grams in one sitting just before training and felt no increase of doms whatsoever. Waste of money, not tried any other types before to compare but if it was 10% that would be 1500mg which i should notice something. Got to be 5% or less im guessing?

ArA is one of the most enjoyed products on the forums - just don't expect AAS gains with it.

Welp the xgels are to big for me to swallow! :(

So i just chewed a gel up in my mouth, sucked the oil out and then spit the gel cap out! Kind of like eating seeded grapes!! Lol!

It is not bad honestly! It is very mild!

Rep, is this protocol okay for getting all of the oil per gelcap?

Its the best you can do ha... You can always eat an extra cap if you havent begun to feel effects in about 3 weeks.

From a laymans perspective, I would imagine it would be pretty difficult to get all of the ArA from the capsules. Whether you are wasting a negligible amount or not, I have no idea.

Why not? I chew the gel cap up pretty good, and swish it with water and then spit the cap out! It gets all of the oil or at least 90%+ of it!

90% of 1500mg is over half of an entire capsule. I give my puppy fish oil because she has really bad skin problems, and when I bite open the capsule and squeeze everything out, there's still some left. Of course, she's an 8 lb puppy getting 1500 mg of fish oil so I think she'll be fine but the oil tends to stick a little to the capsule.

Your method is different than mine so I'm not too sure. It sounds like it would work.


Jiigzz
 
Ill try it myself and give feedback

Edit: itl work that way. :)

Take it pre workout on an empty stomach.

If you can't take it on an empty stomach, I believe you are to take it a few minutes into your workout after you've warmed up.

Damn that is dedications!
 
Unfortunately i had to stop taking it once and for all.

I bought two X-Gels bottles some time ago but after a while start taking it, i started to feel lethargic, sleeping worse and some of my previous symptoms started to worsen.

For example, i spend a lot of time working at computer and sometimes i get nausea/dizziness/out of balance. However after a week or two, taking X-Gels it really worsen them, i can barely work on the computer for more than an hour or two. Felt really sick.

I suspect i suffer from IBS and it seems it worsen it too.

Could be a coincidence i don´t know, but i stopped and resumed 2 or 3 times (even with only 2 caps) and after a week i got the same thing.

I had to give away an entire bottle because the best before date was to expire soon and it was a shame not using it :(

However, even taking half of the dose and for not much time i felt some strength gains. So i think it will a really nice product to take if you not suffering for any previous inflammation conditions.

I believe Mr. Cooper has stated that IBS is not caused by inflammation and will not be worsened by ArA
 
GUYS, with old glycergrow the recommended dosage to stack xgels was 3 scoops, so You have any idea of the recommended dosage with the new glycergrow v2? Or should I switch to other brand?

V2 won't work.

You need Glycerol Monosterate (GMS).
