What's the best Arachidonic Acid supplement,

X-gels or X-Factor

Both can be found on sale so do some browsing through online retailers for your best value
 
SNS X-Gels
 
You can't go wrong with Xgels or X factor. But usually you can find Xgels at a much lower price.
 
I'm still waiting for Olympus Labs to get in the ArA game lol. They'd probably do it in 240 pill containers too, knowing them. No more need for 2 bottles. GET ON IT OL!!!
 
X-gels rocks
 
Thanks guys.. as a natural anabolic, do you think MassMax XT with ArA would be money well spent for some strength and gains?

Def run it for 8 weeks

Haven't run this stack but it's in my future
 
Another vote for X-gels. SNS is a quality supp company and i've used x gels multiple times with great results.
 
SNS xgels are the only ARA only product out there. Any other product mixes other ingredients in there profile which is not always needed. Xgels give you full control over dosing.
 
Does arachidonic acid really work? I know it's very popular and often highlighted in muscle magazines. The research I was able to find on Examine suggests some benefits in strength muscle gains, but there are limited human studies to confirm the noted study. Also how are omega-6s different then omega-3s and is arachidonic acid needed if taking a well balanced fish oil supplement?

I would love to learn more about this product, but currently on the fence to add to my current supplementation. Please educate me!!!

I am sure the gains or strength is not going to be much. When Omega-3 breaks down to EPA and DHA, Omega-6 breaks down to Arachidonic Acid (two step break down). Omega-3 promotes Anti-inflammation and Omega-6 promotes inflammation of muscles. So yeah, they are very much different. What is a well balanced Fish oil. With Omega-3-6-9? Highly doubt you will get the benifits of all.. This is what I know. So, no harm in taking moderate dosage of ArA supplement for a short period. Cuz longer usage leads to health issues.

Thanks for the information much appreciated.
 
Only X-gels AFAIK. The question is, if Arachidonic Acid is so great, why aren't other supplement companies already in the game?
 
I think Olympus Labs has TR1UMPH. Never used it but Arachidonic Acid is an ingredient in the product. Anyone have any experience using?

My guess is it is most likely very expensive to produce. Not only because of the raw material, but the gel caps. Not every company has the budget to get into the ArA game. I'm sure SNS' price point is probably hard to beat, making little room to be competetive. Much more economical to just bring another pre out, and a much larger market as well.
 
Harder to work a fatty acid into other supplements,

I think it will be best solo in gel caps as it is already offered.

It's also a very BB specific ingredient for its market, and outside of us most of the market will look at it and see an "unhealthy, inflammatory fat"

+ uninformed googling always drags up cancer studies.


I think it's just less marketable or more troublesome than other options for those larger companies looking at making money

This is interesting stuff...

If the studies are accurate I'm still not why this is a less popular/used supplement. Its effective and relatively inexpressive. My only guess is the long term health effects make it harder to market, not sure. Willing to give it a shot. Thanks again for the info.

Are you saying co aren't putting it due to long term health risks ?

Don't think that would be the case, it's all about $$ if co's cared there wouldn't be any hormones available to us lol

Sorry if I misunderstood

LOL no I'm not saying that...

I'm just saying if the studies support effectiveness trying to figure out why more people are not using this in their supplement regiment. Consumers set the market which usually drives the development of products I might just be ignorant, but until recently I had never heard of this stuff and there does not appear to be a lot of products on the market. Just trying to connect the dots to determine if its worth trying.

And your previous comment makes sense to why there are fewer products on the market if its due to the fact that it is expensive and hard to produce. I was referring to the x-gels the product as not super expensive.

It is very popular. ArA supps have been around for 10+ years (probably more like 15) and is still popular to this day. how many other muscle building supplements can claim that besides creatine? There is a reason why it's been so popular for so long--because it works. Other stuff gets hyped with free logs and might be popular for a year or two, but eventually the hype dies out and all that is left is a ****ty supp.

Also, up until very recently Molecular Nutrition was the only supplement company with a license to use ArA (I think it was a license?). So up until X gels came out, it was expensive as hell ($100 for a cycle). Molecular Nutrition could charge anything since they were the only one who could make it. Now with X gels out you can get a cycle for around $60.

Awesome thanks. Sounds promising I think I will give the X-gels a try unless there are other products people recommend.
