Every serious bodybuilder knows the awesome feeling of training in the zone. Banging off reps with a serious stack of plates on the bar, your muscles burning with a pump so intense you swear your skin is going to rip. Yeah, being in the zone is a big time thrill, and for sure helps you build freakish muscle. But, the zone is nothing without the “X”. The zone is how you train. The “X-Factor” is how you grow!

... up to 15 lbs. of muscle after just one 50 day cycle!

If a powerful physique is what you want, then nothing is more important than the “X”. What we are talking about is revolutionary. It is the single greatest anabolic discovery of the new century. It will take your body to a new dimension, with more muscle, reduced body fat, and freaky pumps that will shred your clothes into a pile of threads. We are talking about a serious discovery made by one of the only men on the planet capable of such a powerful discovery. A man so dedicated to anabolic research that he literally wrote the book on it. We are talking about William Llewellyn, performance-enhancement scientist, ANABOLICS 2000 – 2005 author, and CEO of Molecular Nutrition. He is no lightweight when it comes to anabolic research and discovering new muscle building substances. Holder of several U.S. Patents on anabolic compounds, Llewellyn adds his newest and greatest anabolic discovery to the list. - “X-Factor”

How was X-Factor Discovered?

The search for the “X” began over a decade ago, when Llewellyn was seeking the missing connection between training and muscle growth. He was looking for the link, the signal, or biochemical event that started the anabolic cascade after the muscle fiber is stimulated and stressed from intense exercise. He dubbed this unknown factor the anabolic “X-Factor”, and was determined to find it.

Miraculously, 35,108 hours of intense research and 5,832 published clinical studies later he uncovered the mysterious “X-Factor”. The “X-Factor” is a biochemical released from the muscle tissue during intense exercise. This anabolic-response amplification nutrient Llewellyn discovered is called arachidonic acid. This discovery was so significant to muscle building that Llewellyn appropriately named the substance “X-Factor™”, and applied for a U.S. Patent on his work.

Benefits of X-Factor Include:

• Increased Protein Synthesis Rates (Muscle Growth)
• Significant Fat Loss
• Dramatic Strength Gains
• Increased Pumps
• Increased Androgen Receptor Levels
• Amplified IGF-1 Signaling
• Increased Post-Workout Soreness

While supplementing muscle reserves with X-Factor™, productivity from resistance exercise is significantly amplified. As the body’s reserves of X-Factor™ reach peak levels of effectiveness, users notice greater post-workout soreness, more intense and lasting pumps, and dramatic gains in muscle size and strength. X-Factor™ also intensifies lipolysis, producing an uncommon and highly desirable environment where fat loss coincides with muscle growth.

Arachidonic Acid – The Body’s Principle Anabolic Nutrient

How X-Factor works . . . it's revolutionary, so it's technical!

X-Factor™ increases the production of tissue-repairing prostaglandins during exercise.

Prostaglandins, which are produced in the body from arachidonic acid, are the core mediators of skeletal muscle growth. They are formed during intense exercise, and are responsible for controlling protein breakdown and synthesis rates, promoting vasodilation (increasing nutrient availability to damaged muscles), augmenting androgen receptor concentrations (allowing testosterone to be more active in local tissues), and amplifying IGF-1 signaling.

Prostaglandins PGF2alpha and PGE2 – The core regulators of protein synthesis

By sustaining higher levels of arachidonic acid in muscle tissue, X-Factor™ delivers powerful benefits to bodybuilders and athletes alike. It accelerates fast twitch muscle fiber growth, facilitates rapid strength and power increases, boosts muscular endurance, and reduces fat mass. And because it contains a powerful but natural polyunsaturated fatty acid, is not banned (nor tested for) by competitive sport organizations.

Before the release of X-Factor™, natural anabolic supplements provided mainly temporary fixes, such as enhancing blood flow or water storage in the muscles with nutrients like arginine and creatine. With X-Factor™ it is finally possible to notice dramatic and lasting gains in solid muscle tissue, without drugs or hormones. It is a supplement so effective that amateur and professional competitive athletes are legitimately using it!

What is "Anabolic Response Amplification"?

Anabolic Response Amplification refers to a process in which the body’s core physiological response to weight training is amplified. 

It was only recently discovered that tissue repair during the post-training recovery window is initiated and controlled by arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid is stored in the outer phospholipid layer of each muscle cell, and is released as the cell is disrupted during exercise. Many fatty acids are released during this process, and the higher the concentration is of arachidonic acid is, the more will be liberated. Once freed, the arachidonic acid is rapidly converted to prostaglandins, which are strong cell-signaling molecules. Prostaglandins are responsible for altering the rate of protein synthesis (supporting repair and growth), and working with nitric oxide to dilate the microcapillaries feeding the muscles (increasing blood flow, oxygen delivery, and glucose uptake). Arachidonic acid also intensifies IGF-1 signaling, and supports muscle hypertrophy by increasing satellite cell (myoblast) fusion in muscle fibers. By amplifying arachidonic acid levels in the skeletal muscle tissue, X-Factor™ generates an anabolic response amplification effect. The muscle cells are bombarded with prostaglandin signaling during each weight-training session, causing local cellular physiology to drastically shift in favor of muscle anabolism. The body responds to the training with much greater physiological ferocity, resulting in rapid gains of muscle size, strength, endurance, and power.

Arachidonic acid is liberated from muscle tissue during exercise (A). It is then rapidly converted to active anabolic prostaglandins (B). The resulting shift in the protein synthesis rate produces muscle growth (C).

How To Take X-Factor

Take 4 capsules per day if you are 200lbs or over, and 3 capsules daily if you are under. The capsules can be taken with meals, and are best divided into 3 or 4 separate applications (1 capsule, 3-4 times per day). Take for 50 days, followed by a break of at least 50 days. X-Factor™ is safe to take by both healthy men and women.

Because X-Factor™ intensifies protein turnover in exercised muscles, you may need to increase your total daily protein and calorie intake in order to gain significant muscle bulk. This often falls in the range of a 500-1000 calorie per day increase.

X-Factor™ relies on the body’s ability to convert arachidonic acid to active prostaglandins in order to be effective. This conversion can be hindered by the consumption of anti-inflammatory drugs, supplements, or food products. The following is a list of things to minimize the intake of while taking X-Factor™:

• Pain medications containing acetaminophen, Ibuprofen, or Aspirin
• NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs)
• Omega 3 fatty acids
• Flax and Fish oil supplements
• N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC)
• Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA)
• Avoid the regular consumption of foods known to be high in omega 3 fatty acids or anti-inflammatory nutrients, such as cold-water fish, peanut butter, and sesame, olive or peanut oils.

IMPORTANT: Remember to drink at least 64 ounces of water daily while taking X-Factor™.
