look into ARA / glycerol, soy lecithin carnitine stack
And I just re-read this from the ARA guide post: And I take fish oil, so great to know this obviously. Also I believe Kratom is an NSAID or at least very similar, I need to research it more.
Q7: Should I avoid anything while using Ara?
There are some things that should be avoided whilst using Ara. These include:
-Omega 3's. These counteract Ara in 3 primary ways:
1) Displacement: Omega 3s are shown us that they are able to decrease tissue concentrations of Ara, and while this is a good thing long term, it is counter intuitive of Ara supplementation.
2) Competitive inhibition: Both fight for COX and LOX enzymes, which means that fish oil supplementation will lower the eiconasoids you actually want increased, notably series 2 prostagladins.
3) Counteraction: Fish oil produces eiconasoids that directly counteract some of those produced by Ara. For example, PGE1 is increased with fish oil supplementation, which counteracts PGE2 - one of the primary mechanisms in which Ara works for muscle growth.
-NSAID's. These inhibit CoX-2 which is the primary pathway in which Ara exerts its anabolic effects. Ergo, using a CoX-2 inhibitor will make your Ara almost worthless
-Anything anti-inflammatory. Cissus, Fish oil etc should all be dosed 4+ hours away from Ara or omitted from the cycle altogether
