Advanced Absorption - Advanced Utilization - Advanced Results!

After six years of continued research and development on arachidonic acid (ARA), William Llewellyn and Molecular Nutrition have launched the next big innovation in muscle-building supplementation. X-Factor Advanced combines the patented (U.S. Patent #6,841,573) protein synthesizing power of arachidonic acid, with a precise synergistic blend of ingredients designed to enhance its absorption, utilization, and overall effectiveness.* X-Factor Advanced takes the power of X-Factor to a whole new level!

The Science Behind Arachidonic Acid

Arachidonic acid is a key regulatory omega-6 essential fatty acid. It is stored in muscle cells, and released when the muscle fibers are stimulated during intense exercise or resistance training. It acts to control the core rate of muscle protein synthesis, partly by increasing cellular sensitivity to anabolic hormones such as testosterone, insulin, growth hormone, and IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1). Because of its central role in the process of muscle growth, arachidonic acid may be one of the most effective anabolic nutrients available for supplementation, capable of supporting significantly faster and more profound increases in muscle size, strength, and fat loss.*

X-Factor with arachidonic acid is a clinically researched performance-enhancing supplement.* Placebo-controlled University trials have suggested increases in muscle strength, peak muscle power, average muscle power, and anaerobic endurance with 50 days of use.* Statistically strong trends of improvement included an 44% increase in bench press 1-rep max, a 223% increase in Wingate average anaerobic power, a 600% increase in Wingate peak power, and a 250% increase in Wingate total work compared to placebo.* (Source: Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition. 3 (1)S1-S29, 2006.)

Muscle gain


Strength		Strength was up big time, 20 to 1RM bench, 65 to SLDL and back squats Weight went up 6 lbs by the end of the log on a 4000-4200 calorie bulk 178<184 Muscle definition is a quite a bit more noticeable especially in my arms and calves.


Endurance		As a final review for XFA, as I've mentioned before, the first thing that stuck out was the fact that I didn't feel the need to take a pre-workout as the XFA gave me more than enough energy and stamina throughout lifting.
Fat loss		but I've definitely lost some fat and gained some muscle.
Muscle gain		but I've definitely lost some fat and gained some muscle.
Strength		My strength gains were also noticeable.
Strength		Benching went up 20 lbs to 155, barbell curls also went up 20 to 75 and there were strength gains that were comparable in every other exercise.
Physical energy		As a final review for XFA, as I've mentioned before, the first thing that stuck out was the fact that I didn't feel the need to take a pre-workout as the XFA gave me more than enough energy and stamina throughout lifting.


Muscle gain		It's a little disheartening because I felt great while using XFA and it seriously is hands down the best product I've ever used for Strength/Muscle gains
Strength		[B]Positive Results/Effects: [/B] The most noticeable after the initial first week or so was a very large increase in strength and muscle fullness.
Strength		This lasted throughout the entire cycle and really helped me quite a few new PR's.
Strength		Here are a few examples of new PR's I cracked will on XFA Leg Press Old PR 540lbs: 4 Reps [B]New PR 620lbs: 5 Reps[/B] Hammer Strength Deadlifts Old PR 280lbs: 4 [B]New PR 340lbs: 3 Reps[/B] Shoulder Machine Press Old PR 160lbs: 4 Reps [B]New PR 200lbs: 6 Reps[/B] [B]Negative Results/Effects:[/B] For the first 2 weeks or so I noticed an increase in muscle soreness.
Strength		It's a little disheartening because I felt great while using XFA and it seriously is hands down the best product I've ever used for Strength/Muscle gains
Pump		Another noticeable key was that it gave me was good pumps in the gym.


Strength		I would recommend this product to anyone looking to break through plateaus and set new PR's in the gym


Muscle gain		I made size gains and strength gains, as illustrated in my log: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=130446013 Overall, 10/10, extremely happy with all of Molecular Nutrition's products.

Value for money		Absolutely the best product out there and well worth the money!!!


Strength		I mostly ran a volume type workout using supersets & dropsets, with heavier, lower rep workouts sprinkled in, strength isn’t all that much of a priority to me,
Pump		After having completed 50 days of using it and experiencing the most of the day-long muscle hardness and dense workout pumps (4-5 dosed 30-45 min preWO) and the leaning effect it has given, I would recommend and use XFA over any of the test boosters I’ve used to date.


Fat loss		I gained close to 8 pounds of LEAN mass in the 50 days, and my bench went up 30lbs.

Value for money		Its a little pricey

Vascularity		Strength went up! Vascularity increase on every dosage at 4 preworkout.
Strength		Strength went up! Vascularity increase on every dosage at 4 preworkout.
Recovery ability		Muscle recovery seemed to speed up as well.
Value for money		Only downside is that it is a little pricey,


Strength		I've run multiple cycles of this and it helped me get from 115lbs (E.D.) to 160+lbs, deadlifts went from a struggle at 135 to bangin out multiple sets of 315x5 or more.


Fat loss		The main attributes that I noticed using XFA was vascularity, muscle hardness, and slight weight loss....I definately also got some pretty sick pumps!

Strength		I didn't get the strength increases as some logs that I have read
Strength		but my training at the time wasn't necessarily aimed at strength....check out my review in the BB Forum for more in-depth review!!!!! Would highly recommend!

Value for money		This is a great product and well worth the money!


Fat loss		I was actually on a cut for 4 weeks while taking XFA and I lost fat
Muscle gain		but my weight stayed the same, therefore I was gaining muscle.


Vascularity		Pump during workouts, vascularity, and body composition all appeared through the 50 day run.
