Ok, so not 30 days, but 16 instead. And I made a pretty good dent in getting lean. The difference is NOTICEABLE. And this is why people are raving about Anadraulic State...
What is it?

* Extreme muscle growth
* Skyrocketting testosterone levels (total and free)
* Increase Growth hormone release
* Decrease estrogen
* Decrease cortisol
* Vastly increased nutrient absorption and utilization
* Explosive pumps

Smell: 8.5/10. As soon as I opened the tub I was assaulted by the smell of cinnamon. When I added the powder to water the smell changed to that of a fruit punch, with a strong thread of pomegranate and hints of raspberry.
Taste: 9/10. Awesome!...Anadraulic State tasted like fruit juice; the pomegranate came through quite strongly, followed by subtle hints of raspberry. Come to the last of it there were some grainy bits; these tasted like cinnamon and reminded me of the texture of the sugar on cinnamon donuts...The taste lingered though for ~40 minutes after dosing (on both occasions), but it was quite pleasant.
Solubility: 7/10. After the first dose of Anadraulic State, where it did not dissolve at all (even on stirring) I just shook it for ~10-20 seconds every time thereafter, and it mixed almost instantly.
Texture: 10/10. Anadraulic State looks like fruit juice diluted with water.
Body Composition: 8/10. Skinfold measurements taken pre and post-Anadraulic State indicate that I lost bodyfat (BF) from all over. Pre: body mass - 52kg, body composition - 9.0% BF, triceps - 5.5mm, subscapular - 6.0mm, biceps - 2.5mm, iliac crest - 7.0mm, supraspinale - 5.0mm, abdominal - 8.0mm, front thigh - 6.5mm, medial calf - 4.0mm. Post: body mass - 49kg (-3.0kg/6.6lb), body composition - 8.0% BF (-1.0% BF), triceps - 5.0mm (-0.5mm), subscapular - 5.0mm (-1.0mm), biceps - 2.5mm (no change), iliac crest - 6.0mm (-1.0mm), supraspinale - 5.0mm (no change), abdominal - 6.5mm (-1.5mm), front thigh - 5.0mm (-1.5mm), medial calf - 2.5mm (-1.5mm). The most fat loss occurred from my midsection and lower body. I lost a total of 0.76kg (i.e. 1.672lb) of BF and also 2.24kg (i.e. 4.928lb) of lean body mass (LBM). Although the final body statistics (i.e. body mass and body composition) indicate that I LOST LBM, the LBM that I lost was predominantly in the form of food and water weight (and this was especially apparent on Day 10 of using Anadraulic State). My girths did NOT change by much, losing only 1cm from my waist and hips, with everything else staying the same.
Testosterone Levels: N/A. Although I would have liked to see the changes in my Testosterone (total and free) levels from pre to post-Anadraulic State, I did not have bloods done.
Growth Hormone Levels: N/A. Although I would have liked to see the changes in my Growth Hormone levels from pre to post-Anadraulic State, I did not have bloods done. My recovery was pretty good though, considering, and my sleep was deep as, so my Growth Hormone levels were elevated somewhat (although not sure by how much, or if they were any different to what they are when I am using IGF-2 - which I used for the first 10 days of using Anadraulic State).
Estrogen Levels: N/A. Although I would have liked to see the changes in my Estrogen levels from pre to post-Anadraulic State, I did not have bloods done. My Estrogen levels are generally at the lower end of the range though.
Cortisol Levels: N/A. Although I would have liked to see the changes in my cortisol levels from pre to post-Anadraulic State, I did not have bloods done. My stress however, DID decrease quite a lot over the period that I was using Anadraulic State, but more due to other events going on, etc.
Recovery: 8/10. My resting heart rate dropped from 30 bpm to 27 bpm over the time that I used Anadraulic State; for someone that's already quite fit that's rather significant...My recovery from training was actually rather good. I always train hard, and the first 10 days on Anadraulic State were the most extreme I have done re training in a while; there were NO prisoners taken! Started feeling it a little the last week, with my body feeling like a dead weight, when I got sick.
Nutrient Absorption and Utilization: 8/10. Aside from the four days pre-photoshoot, my diet did not change while I was using Anadraulic State. With the amount of food that I was consuming, for me to be getting LEANER and NOT being bloated, etc. the days after says to me that the nutrients were rapidly absorbed and were being used efficiently and effectively.
Energy: 9/10. Anadraulic State gave me smooth, focused energy in the gym. Everything felt like I was moving in slow motion. The first few days I didn't feel like I was going to collapse and only got lightheaded a few times...I DID notice a difference, and the reason WHY is because Anadraulic State has carbohydrates in it, which, although liquid, is still different than doing my am training on an empty stomach like I used to (and add to that the BC+EAA I was using as well). And even when my body did NOT feel like training I still went out and did it...Passed out quite often later in the day though...
Focus: 8/10. I was focused in the gym. However, got quite lightheaded during training a lot, especially in the last week of using Anadraulic State. But I pushed on through with training...Found that I was not really too focused during the rest of the day though.
Pump: 8/10. Pumps were pretty good on Anadraulic State (although the way I was training would also have affected these).
Sides:10/10. I did not experience any nausea, tummy upsets, bloating, etc. from the Anadraulic State, even though I used the full dosage and even went up to 2 scoops pre-gym once. For a product that is "too hardcore for women and should only be used by men over 21" I had NO issues using it; definitely NOT "too hardcore for women"!
Other Effects: 10/10. I didn't experience any stimulant effects whilst using Anadraulic State...Vascularity was the BEST I've ever had, and just kept getting better almost EVERY resistance session. One of the aesthetically pleasing effects of Anadraulic State...Although my endurance is already exceptionally high, using Anadraulic State I was doing post-weights cardio quite a lot, after a resistance session where I felt like collapsing during (and I did once); so finding that extra to do more training afterwards was something...My resistance sessions were not targeted towards strength during the time that I used Anadraulic State, but I was still lifting heavyish weights for the most part, and even hit a few PRs re sets/reps and/or weight with some exercises...Also noticed some appetite suppression in the middle of the period of using Anadraulic State...
Overall: 9/10. Anadraulic State fast became a SOLID product in my eyes, especially when I saw the results that occurred after the first 10 days (like someone said to me, the change in physique re fat loss was incredible and so noticeable; and it was only so noticeable because I was already relatively lean to start with and losing that small amount of fat more made a HUGE difference) and the way I was able to train like one possessed and not have to 'give' anywhere!
Would I use it again? Yes. Anadraulic State is definitely a solid product, and I would like to use for a longer period. The fact that it encompasses several products (i.e. creatine, nutrient repartitioner, Testosterone and Growth Hormone booster, and preworkout) in ONE is a definite PLUS!
Would I recommend? Yes. For anyone wanting a preworkout formula that delivers, then Anadraulic State is one of the best options available IMO.
