Will! Info on validity of A-Akg

[sadmin]

Will (or anyone),

I started stacking Cellucor c4 with Olympian labs A-Akg but have now read reports that the A-Akg is bupkis and Agmatine is a better option. I'm having conflicting reports resulting in info overload. What's the official stance?

First question is, what are you using them for? If for changes in body comp or increases strength:

Short answer:

AAKG to has a few studies done in humans looking at performance and body comp, and results were un impressive to say the least...save $$$

Agmatine is interesting stuff on paper, but the actual data showing any benefits in humans on body comp are non existent. Save the $$$

Long answer, I cover them and a lot more out there, with the studies, "real world" feedback, and citations, HERE and if interested in saving wasted time and $$$ and cutting through the hype, BS, and marketing of what's out there

Both those Argnine derived/based supplements may have some potential health benefits in some populations (hence why I asked what you are using them for) and other uses but in terms of "muscle building" I'd save my $$$ at this time.

Good luck!

As far as supplements shown to have conclusive impact on body comp and strength, with lots of safety data and potential health benefits, creatine (as monohydrate) is king BTW.

After all this time you still feel that creatine is the best, and I suppose also safest, bang for the buck? Not doubting in the least, just curious because so much has come and gone since it was the rage years ago.

Also, any thoughts on Testofen Will? See this blend in a lot of products lately, any good news on it if I may ask?

Creatine is still around while all the other crap comes and goes. That should tell you something.

It's cheap too.

When you are talking about these kinds of supplements your talking about 5% of it all. First you need to have diet and training in check.

5% might be a little high.

Affirmative

Not doubting in the least, just curious because so much has come and gone since it was the rage years ago.

The data has only continued to grow, and it continues to show potential health benefits in a wide array of areas, as well as the usual reasons people use it, such as strength and body comp.

That one comes under the general category of "T Boosters" and my position on that category can be found in my extensive article The Facts On T Booster Supplements if interested.
