The rate of X-Factor concentration and deliverance of full effects varies in person to person. Generally, it appears that full effects hit at the beginning of week 2 but some people feel it in a matter of days.
X-factor being pure arachidonic acid is patented to build muscle in humans. The fatty acid AA has a number of studies on it to suggest how it does this. The mechanisms are numerous and may include positive modulation of hormones but no conclusions have been made in this respect. What we do know is:
Arachidonic acid (AA) release controls much of the local shift in physiology that will facilitate growth. Among other things it sensitizes the local tissues to hormones and growth factors, directing growth to them, and not to areas of the body that don't need it. Much of its anabolic effect is mediated by eicosanoids (PGE2/PGF2alpha), however, other products of AA have been implicated in these functions as well. The actions of AA in regards to local muscle repair are very diverse, and include:
- Increasing the density of androgen receptors/local T sensitivity (PG's)
- Upregulating local insulin sensitivity (PGE2)
- Upregulating local NO production, which aids satellite cell activation via increasing levels of Hepatocyte growth factor (PGE2)
- Upregulating local IGF-1 receptor expression (PGF2a)
- Upregulating expression or sensitivity to other growth factors like TNF, FGF, IL's, (various)
- Activation of PPAR and cAMP providing powerful fat loss and total body recomp properties

Yes, X-Factor can be used during PCT. It will not suppress natural test production.
