The Arachidonic Acid Help Guide

Audioph1x said:
Almost done with full bottle #1 of xgels. Had about 20 gels in another that I finished. Will continue ArA for 2 more full bottles since I got a great deal on it. Misfit28 Driven2lift thanks guys. Started at 1g for a few workouts, stayed at 1.25g for a little, now at 1.5g.

I don't know if it's because I increased the dose or just because my body is fully saturated with the ArA; the **** just got real. Pumps are awesome and the DOMS is for real. I had to foam roll a good bit longer this morning because I could barely walk when I got up. Just started Carlito's 6 week program on Tuesday so that may have something to do with it, but the soreness is insane.

Awesome man! Glad to see you are enjoying the X-Gels :)

IMO, yes. With Arachidonic Acid, the higher the dose, the better the results.

Issues being, as you stated, is cost to results.

I personally just run at 1.5 grams 5-6 days a week.

Cost plus some joint pain too. My best results were OG Xfactor- 9 pills a day Plus 2 scoops high volume- nasty pumps and insanely sore the next day
 
I will be jumping straight to 6 caps a day then for my next run, ? would you take all of them pre workout or split them through the day.

Yes, all pre. You want them in your system at this time so your body shuttles them to the skeletal muscle
 
I've got 2 bottles of X-gels that I'd been saving for an upcoming PCT/off-cycle period, but just noticed today that they'd expired 12/2015. They've been stored at room temperature since original purchase. What are the chances that they're still good? If I popped a capsule open, how can I identify whether the oil has gone rancid or not?
 
Try some and see how they are, i have tried some products 1-2 years after expiry, but they have not been oil or fat based so had no chance of turning rancid.

Intend to try them starting today... was just hoping there might be a way to determine what state they're in by cutting open a capsule and looking/tasting, but not sure what to be looking for specifically as I've never popped open a fresh cap for comparison.

I would go for it. Check in with us in a few weeks so we know if you are still alive.
 
Prick one open and smell it. You'll know if its bad.
 
Yes ABE should be daily
Your carnitine is kind of your call, I usually only used it with ARA doses
 
Have any of you used Cutlers KING PA product with X-Gels, or do you find it better to use solgar's PA letichin granules.

I use Fearn. Its so cheap I barely consider it an expense. I just factor it in to my macros

A PA product like that won't work as well as GMS for the synergy here, just so you are aware

You want the fatty acids (glycerol there)

PA is great to have so king is still great, but you may consider either adding GMS or saving $ and running SL
 
new Phosphatidic Acid product going to be hitting the market soon that should make a lot of people very happy!

I'm on X-Gels now at 4/day. Really enjoying my run with ArA per usual.


I am hoping to get a full tub of this new product(as we're nearing flavor approval) within the next month, so I can combine the two and see the changes.

very interested in this! have yet to try a PA product simply due to the cals or cost
 
guys where can I find bulk GMS? Glycergrow isnt an option anymore and genomyx is a little bit expensive.

BTW...any clue on when X-GELS is gonna be in stock?
thanks!!

Still no word on Xgels stock. Still waiting on labels.

If you look around there's a few places selling bulk powder for pretty cheap.

Should I be taking the full dose of carn and hca with the gels prior to workoit
Click to expand...

Yes, dose the HCA with ArA as well.

HCA will aid in the cellular uptake of arachidonic acid via CD36 mechanism.

didn't know that there was an acute benefit for ArA... good info! (and thanks for posting the actual MOA)
 
I have stopped taking Cissus and Fish Oil like I always to when I run ArA. Are any of the ingredients highly anti-inflammatory in the Joint Support XT formula and should also be avoided for an optimal run? I was thinking the ParActin.

Yes. You'd want to dose JS-XT away from ArA.

You should be dosing the Joint Support away from your workouts to begin with though.
 
avega17 said:
Thought so, just not going to take JS-XT altogether
Click to expand...

if your joints can handle a few weeks of no support then thats a good plan, otherwise just keep dosing as far away as you can.
 
What's the consensus on intra-workout carbs while on ArA? I'm taking SL pre-workout, and would be starting the carbs about 30 minutes in.

No issue...exercise tends to negate any interference of the insulin release from the carbs to make any noticeable difference. .Have done it myself with and without intra carbs, and actually prefer intra WO carbs regardless of using ArA...

Just remembered that there is 100mg of epi in Endur3. Should I stop taking it?
Click to expand...

Epi has some slight hindrance to ara, but at this does its prob not enough to worry about. If you're truly trying to max the ara tho, yes skip it.
 
I have run X gels+epi plex twice and haven't noticed any negatives.

I'm running x-gels + epi plex right now and having pretty good results. Haven't noticed any diminished effects of ArA yet. Decent pumps and fullness all day and insane pumps in the gym. Would like to run epi for a full 60 maybe even 90 days but my supp budget is about spent for a while.
