Sorry if this has been discussed already: what’s the best for keeping muscle or even adding while cutting?

Unless you are new to lifting or coming back from a long time off you won't build muscle while cutting. Your goal should be to maintain. Lifting weights and calorie deficit are 100% needed or you won't get any results. If you want to get better results then have the basics in place (creatine, Multi XT, fish oil). Then if budget allows add in some other goodies. For me the best would be SNS Anabolic XT then CEL Anabolic Effect then CEL Alpha One. The first 2 I'd run for at least 8 weeks, you won't get much out of a 4 week run.
Epicatechin provides a nice pump and maybe some endurance to me, but I think there are better options.

I had noticeable strength retention on a cut using CEL Api-Plex. I actually bought it for its sleep benefits because my sleep sucks on a cut. It did give me more vivid dreams but it didn't actually help much with sleep quality or quantity. I plan on running a couple bottles of CEL BASIS next year which also contains some Apigenin. A lot of people report BASIS helping in joint health which the main benefit I'm looking for among all the other good things it helps with.

Sns anabolic xt or black lion research androgin be ideal to help retain muscle.
Something that doesnt get recommended as much but I have used multiple times on cuts is sns reduce xt. Mood, cortisol, helped retain strength and muscle as well as recovery especially deep into a cut this worked wonders.
Reduce xt stacked with either anabolic xt or androgin would be full proof for what you are looking for if budget allows

Ursa Major is excellent for that.
And, until Midnight ET, it is on BOGO FREE!
Ursa Major
Ursa Major is an ursolic acid transdermal supplement. Ursolic Acid is a naturally occurring "triterpenoid" found in apples, rosemary, basil, some berries and various other dietary and medicinal plants.

Anabolic XT would be my #1 choice if I were choosing only one product. If I were stacking things with it, I would be choosing between the following ones as my top priorities:
- Anabolic Effect
- This is my overall favorite product to stack with Anabolic XT.
- It can be used when bulking, cutting, or during recomp for lean muscle, strength, and muscular endurance.

- Recomp20
- Recomp, building/maintaining muscle and losing fat is what its for.
- A nice plus is that a lot of people say that they feel better overall and their mood is better on it.

- Alpha One
- This is a great option because it helps with building muscle and burning fat, and it helps with muscle fullness so that you don't look flat or deflated on your cut.

- Feedback and discussion thread: https://anabolicminds.com/community...-recomposition-agent-incredible-pumps.338248/
- BASIS
- Great option, but out of stock and I don't know of anywhere that has any left in stock. ETA for more is 4 to 6 weeks.
- Write up: https://competitiveedgelabs.com/product/basis/
- Feedback and discussion thread: https://anabolicminds.com/community...-of-natural-anabolic-intro-discussion.339460/
- Ursa-Bolic
- A lot of people like Ursa-Bolic, which is out of stock, or XPG Ursa-Gel while on a cut. They are helpful, but I think of them as more long term recomp products.

Great suggestions here! First ones that came to my mind were Anabolic Effect and Anabolic XT. Both are products that will yield results with many positive reviews on here.
