Targeted Topical Defining Matrix
Advanced Maximum Strength Slimming Gel ​

Ab-Solved is an advanced maximum strength slimming gel designed to be applied on stubborn fat areas around the midsection such as the stomach and love handles.

Ab-Solved is the perfect weapon that allows you to directly attack stubborn fat areas around the midsection such as the stomach and love handles, resulting in increased thermogenesis in subcutaneous and visceral fat alike, although it is designed to have more of an emphasis on visceral fat.

Ab-Solved Highlights:
  • Fast Acting, Maximum Strength Defining Gel
  • Rapid Delivery to Stubborn Fat Areas
  • Targeted Effects Through Multiple Pathways
  • Contains 7-OXO-DHEA, Pomegranate Seed Oil, Trans-Resveratrol, & Phosphatidylserine

Ask yourself a few questions:
  • Is your fat loss progress stuck in a rut?
  • Does it seem like the fat around your abdominals and love handles just won’t come off?
  • Do you tend to store fat around the stomach and love handles?
  • Are you trying to lose fat but can’t get rid of the ‘beer belly’ look?

People that answer yes to any of the above questions may be interested in Ab-Solved.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Does the name Ab-Solved sound familiar?
Ab-Solved was the name of the original localized topical fat loss product that many found to be truly effective and was at one time synonymous with topical fat loss. It was also the original topical 7-OXO-DHEA product. Xtreme Performance Gels obtained the naming rights to Ab-Solved to bring back this legendary name and has kept the original formula intact + added newer exciting ingredients to it!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is Visceral Adipose Tissue (VAT)?
Visceral fat is the body fat stored around the abdominal area around the organs, under the abdominal muscles and is commonly referred to as the most unhealthy type of body-fat. It is both unsightly and unhealthy and is linked to inflammation and a large variety of other health issues including insulin resistance, metabolic syndromes, cardiovascular issues, and more.

Visceral fat is sometimes described as the ‘beer belly’ appearance although that isn’t a completely fair comparison. Although many people that do drink alcohol in excess tend to store fat in this area, many people that don’t drink store it there as well and in many people it’s the last stubborn are of fat that just doesn’t seem to want to come off.

Ever seen someone that has reasonable to good definition in their abdominal muscles but their waistline is still not small or looks bloated or puffed out? Visceral fat is one of the possible causes.

What is Subcutaneous Fat?
Subcutaneous fat sits under the skin as opposed to visceral fat that sits around the organs. Examples of stubborn subcutaneous areas in many people include the stomach and love handles.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What makes Ab-Solved different than most other topical fat loss products/slimming gels?
Ab-Solved is designed for a localized effect on visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue while offering a variety of direct and indirect methods of action to increase thermogenesis in both visceral and subcutaneous fat.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key Ingredients:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7-OXO-DHEA:
7-OXO-DHEA is an advanced form of DHEA that is widely agreed in literature to provide a great deal of DHEA’s metabolic effects with 7-OXO DHEA being about 2.5 times stronger than plain DHEA, but without the effects on the sex hormones of plain DHEA.

7-OXO DHEA activates 3 primary thermogenic enzymes (fatty acyl CoA, malic enzyme, & glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase) and has been shown to have a positive effect on metabolic rate without diet or exercise.

There are 3 major systems through which 7-OXO-DHEA is thought to positively modulate in order to aid in body composition improvement:
  • Thyroid
  • PPAR
  • Glucocorticoid

There is so much that could be written on the aspects in which 7-OXO-DHEA could effect the above systems that it would requires a series of articles and go well beyond what could be covered in the scope of a product writeup. In short, 7-OXO-DHEA is a great ingredient inclusion and the foundation of Ab-Solved.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pomegranate Seed Oil (Std. to min. 78% Punicic Acid):
Pomegranate Seed Oil is becoming increasingly popular due to the wide variety of benefits it may offer, especially its anti-inflammatory and metabolic properties; many of which are attributed to its active Punicic Acid content. The Pomegranate Seed Oil used in Ab-Solved is standardized to a minimum 78% Punicic Acid content.

Pomegranate Seed Oil/Punicic Acid may support fat loss through a wide variety of complex mechanisms including by acting as a PPAR-alpha, gamma, and delta agonist and increasing fatty acid utilization and oxidation. It has also been shown to exert positive blood sugar effects via multiple channels such as improving insulin sensitivity, reducing inflammatory cytokines, modulating glucose homeostasis, and antioxidant properties.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trans-Resveratrol:
Trans-Resveratrol is a very unique ingredient that promotes fat loss through a variety of complicated pathways, including acting as a PPAR-alpha agonist, improving fatty acid oxidation, increasing fatty acid thermogenesis, increasing brown adipocyte formation, decreasing triglyceride accumulation in fat cells, increasing thermogenesis in adipose tissue via AMPK, activating PGC-1alpha which increases fatty acid oxidative capacity, and more.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phosphatidylserine:
Phosphatidylserine is a very popular fat loss ingredient that is commonly associated with cortisol control. However, in addition to its cortisol control benefits, Phosphatidylserine may also be useful for HPA dysfunction (adrenal fatigue).

The HPA axis is your body’s hormonal response system to chronic stress. Hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis dysfunction (HPA dysfunction), also known as adrenal fatigue, is a major underlying cause of many seemingly unrelated, often misdiagnosed health issues and can lead to increased fat storage &/or reduced ability to lose body-fat.

Natural Testosterone & Libido Support
Lean Muscle & Performance Gel​

Alpha Gel contains ingredients that are commonly used to support an increase in natural testosterone levels and a reducing/balancing effect on estrogen levels in order to support lean muscle, strength, improved performance, libido, vitality, positive mood, improved sense of well-being, and more.

Tongkat Ali (200:1 Extract; std. to min 2% Eurycomanone)

An Important Note About Estrogen & Optimal Testosterone to Estrogen Ratios:
Maintaining normal estrogen levels and an optimal testosterone to estrogen ratio is important for maintaining libido, positive sense of well-being, muscular recovery, and healthy testicular function.

It is not desirable to overly suppress estrogen levels. The symptoms of low estrogen levels are actually very similar to the symptoms of low testosterone levels – fatigue, tiredness, irritability, mood swings, loss of libido, and more.

The natural anti-estrogens in Alpha Gel support the gentle balancing of estrogen levels without overly suppressing them.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Examining the Ingredients:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trans-Resveratrol:
Trans-Resveratrol, also known as Resveratrol, is a potent antioxidant that is most commonly known for its cardiovascular, anti-aging, and longevity benefits. In addition, Trans-Resveratrol also has potential testosterone boosting and estrogen ‘blocking’ properties because of its unique chemical structure which allows it to bind to the estrogen receptor and support a reduction in estrogenic activity. These estrogen modulating effects of resveratrol can support an increase in natural testosterone levels.

Trans-Resveratrol also supports cardiovascular health and healthy blood flow, a great potential benefit for any male interested in improving his sexual health.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7,8 Benzoflavone:
7,8-Benzoflavone is commonly used for its natural aromatase inhibiting properties. Many users also report it to have a calming and mood uplifting effect and to have natural aphrodisiac and libido boosting properties.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tongkat Ali:
Alpha-Gel contains the specialized Bionutricia® Tongkat Extract. This 200:1 extract is standardized to a minimum 2% Eurycomanone content.

What is Eurycomanone?
Eurycomanone is the active compound found in the roots of Tongkat Ali/Eurycoma Longifolia that has been shown to increase the amount of total testosterone and free testosterone available in the bloodstream. At higher concentrations, Eurycomanone may also act as a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor and support improved erection quality.

Eurycomanone content ranges for high-quality extracts start at .5% with the upper attainable limits being around 2.7%. Bionutricia® Tongkat Ali contains a minimum of 2% Eurycomanone and as high as 3% Eurycomanone and each batch of raw materials is tested by the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia.

Simply put – Eurycomanone is what makes Tongkat Ali work for testosterone, libido, & erection quality support.

What makes Bionutricia® Tongkat Ali Extract so Special?
Bionutricia® Tongkat Ali extract contains a minimum of 2% Eurycomanone and as high as 3% Eurycomanone and each batch of raw materials is tested by the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM) to ensure the levels of several key active ingredients, primarily the Eurycomanone of the extract.

At these strengths, standardized Tongkat Ali can be used as a natural testosterone booster and libido enhancer with high dosages also being used as a PDE5 inhibitor to support improved erection quality.

In addition to its high Eurycomanone percentage, Bionutricia® Tongkat Ali extract also contains 30 – 38% Glycosaponins, 28 – 32% Polysaccharides, and 18 – 24% Protein – a truly fully disclosed extract.

Also, Bionutricia® Tongkat Ali extract is extracted using ultrasonic hot water extraction to obtain the water-soluble active ingredients (Eurycomanone, polysaccharides, protein, Glycosaponins) and doesn’t use any harsh solvents or chemicals that some brands use in order to try to achieve higher extract ratios while cutting costs.

100 mg. CurcuPrime™ per ml
10 grams CurcuPrime™ per bottle

CurcuPrime™ Gel is a topical Tetrahydrocurcumin product that contains 100 mg. per ml. (10 grams per bottle).

What is Tetrahydrocurcumin?
Tetrahydrocurcumin (4-HC) is a major metabolic constituent of curcumin that’s commonly believed to be responsible for many of curcumin’s benefits.

The CurcuPrime™ Advantage:

Buyer beware - while generic versions of some ingredients may be the same or close to the same as their branded ingredient counterparts, this ingredient is notoriously hard to extract and NNB reports having already found some generics using proprietary blends rather than pure Tetrahydrocurcumin and purifications as low as 70% and potencies that may vary from batch to batch.

CurcuPrime Gel - No Orange Coloration or Staining:
CurcuPrime™ Gel is a specialized version that is off-white in appearance to allow for no orangish color or staining, unlike some other topical curcumin products.

  • Does your progress feel stuck in a rut?
  • Do you find yourself holding fat in your abdominal area and love handles?
  • Are you having a hard time building lean muscle?
  • Do you need or wish to retain lean muscle while dieting?
^^^ People that answer yes to any of the above questions may be interested in Suppress-C.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Does the name Suppress-C sound familiar?
The name Suppress-C was at one time synonymous with topical cortisol control products.

Suppress-C was one of the original B-Androstenetriol products on the market, and Xtreme Performance Gels purchased the naming rights to Suppress-C to bring back this legendary name and formula.

Stress & Fat Storage:
You often hear about how stress can make you gain weight.

In today’s world, how many of us can really say that we aren’t under a lot of stress?

At first glance, many people tend to think when they hear about stress making you gain weight that this is referring to people that tend to eat more or eat poorly as a means of coping with stress, but that isn’t always the case. To understand how stress can contribute to fat storage, one has to understand the basics of cortisol.

What is Cortisol?
Cortisol is considered to be a stress hormone and is released by the adrenal glands. When the body is under stress (either physical or psychological), the body may produce excess cortisol to try to help combat the stress. The body’s way of helping combat the stressors is by liberating energy stores and cortisol assists in that process by breaking down muscle protein into amino acids as fuel sources for the body. This process can be detrimental to overall body composition because it can lead to increased fat storage and decreased lean muscle tissue.

It is important to note that while cortisol has negative effects on overall body composition, it isn’t entirely negative as it does have some useful applications which is why it's important to think of cortisol in terms of controlling it rather than eliminating it.

Cortisol – Potential Effect on Lean Muscle:
Cortisol breaks down muscle protein into amino acids for use as a fuel source. In layman’s terms this means that cortisol breaks down your hard-earned muscle tissue. By helping suppress cortisol levels, it may allow one to keep more of their hard-earned muscle gains.

Cortisol – Effect on Fat Storage:
Cortisol assists in breaking down stored body-fat into fatty acids so that the body can have an immediate energy source to help combat stressors. At first, this may sound like a good thing but the long-term effect of this action is these fatty acids being stored as the most easily accessible type of body-fat for the same future use – visceral fat. Visceral fat is the type of fat that is located around the internal organs and most commonly associated with a variety of health conditions. Also, by altering fat distribution from subcutaneous fat to more cortisol sensitive areas, this may have detrimental effects on physical appearance. For example, cortisol sensitive areas include the abdominal ‘pot belly’ appearance, excess facial fat storage, etc.

I'm honestly not sure any XPG products would require a PCT. they're all very intelligently designed forumulas. However in the past I have used natty PCTs with the XPG Epiandro. coincidentally, my PCT of choice is XPG Alpha Gel.

@Dustin07 gave a perfect answer above.

The only XPG product that would need a PCT is Epiandro Gel, and the PCT for that can be something natural like Alpha Gel, M-Test, Optimize-T, or Cloma-Plex.
