In addition to being a competitive bodybuilder (for 10 years), I happen to be both a practitioner and nutritionist by profession, and hence have a comprehensive understanding of the pharmacological effects of just about every natural substance used for nutritional supplementation.
As a result, I am in a position to present a completely unbiased opinion on this product.
When I discovered that concentrated arachidonic acid was available as a supplement I couldn't help but become rather excited... Arachidonic acid is required for a whole variety of biological functions, including digestive function, intestinal function,
protein synthesis and numerous other biological processes involved in the synthesis of lean body tissue (muscle building)
In a nutshell, insufficient stores of arachidonic acid = poor
digestion, poor intestinal function and catabolism.
Since exercise, stress and numerous other factors deplete the body’s natural reserves of arachidonic acid, it is logical that those undertaking regular exercise will benefit from supplementary arachidonic acid (in the same way as other micronutrients depleted by exercise).
However, since there are many other factors involved in attaining the desired goal of bodybuildng, muscular hypertrophy, in order for arachidonic acid to work its magic, sufficient supplies of other key dietary nutrients are required - in the same way, a diet high in
protein, but with insufficient fibrous/complex carbs and other ‘healthy’ fats (EFAs) will not yield positive results in the gym… not matter how much
protein you ingest!
When taken in combination with a proper diet supplementary arachidonic acid cannot fail to yield results – Hence, for all those who have posted negative feedback regarding this product, I suggest you review the rest of your dietary intake (including supplements) and amend accordingly, since it is almost certainly lacking a at least one area.
In summary, this product is phenomenal, and will produce incredible results when combined with a proper diet
