Try anything that Jeff puts out. He has me convinced he is a absolutely truthful guy.. this product is noticeable with first use.. my only complaint is WHY THER ARE NOT IN CAPSULE FORM… we all know this is best for absorption.. thank u Jeff
I can’t live without my AX supplements
I’m late 50’s and every time I get back into weights it’s pain. I tried these and I must admit my recovery was truly better. I used two per workout rather than 4, (I was nervous about taking amino supplements).
They are honking big pills so my only criticism would be to shrink them if possible.
It honestly provided me with the extra bit of energy and recovery the pre workout and post workout protein already provided. It perfectly rounds out to be a perfect stack.
I bought these with a set of supplements. The pills were huge and should have been put in a capsule size as well. You have to take EIGHT pills each day. Both my husband and I were using these, so a bottle would not last us any time at all. We both prefer using the other ATHLEAN-RX supplements.
I’ve been training my whole life. As I started approaching my 30s I started dealing with the random aches and pains associated with the aging process. I just pushed through it and soldiered on. Now that I’m in my 50’s the aches are starting to win. I started taking Jeff’s fish oil about a year ago and noticed improvement in my overall inflammation. Was less achy just waking up. Stuff like that. Bought the BCAA’s hoping it would help with workout soreness and energy loss and sure enough, it does! Look, these aren’t super pills. You’re not going to take them and all of a sudden starting adding weight to the bar. What they will do is make sure you’re micro nutrients needs are being met and if so, your body can do what it needs to in terms of recovering. It’s not a cure all, it’s just another solider on the front lines in the war of recovery. Been reading good things about the RX3 and DOMS so I might upgrade to the recovery stack. Stay tuned!
I have a very sensitive gag reflex so the size of the pills is a challenge. I can do it, and have actually gotten better at it, but they are rather large. Taste is a N/A since they’re just pills they don’t really have a taste, also no after taste that I’ve noticed. So.. onto the important question. Do they work? Surprisingly, I think they do! I’m not a research scientist so I don’t have data per se but I have done several workouts that generally leave more sore for days and when I take these… nothing. I also noticed when I’m fasting that I tend to hold onto more muscle and don’t look as depleted which is huge since I’m only 150lbs!
After taking these for 3 months, I can feel a difference. My strength seems to come back quicker after having worked out vs being super sore for the following week. I’ve been busting my butt to get in/stay in shape and felt like I was killing myself with working out and cutting calories. I’ve decided to bite the bullett and purchase supplements. My husband used to coach football and suggested I try BCAA’s. So, I bought 4 bottles of these, 3 pills a day does catch up real quick and all of the sudden you’re needing more. I can’t say taking these has helped me lose weight, but they do help the process of my muscle recovery making it easier for me to keep going which has it’s benefits.
Been taking this now for 3 weeks straight, only before workout and I already noticed a good muscle mass gain and definition. I didn’t feel the result after a week of taking it and that’s when I noticed that I get more energy then before when Im working out and specially on leg days. I highly recommend this product. So far so good and I will definitely buy another one when im done with my first order.
This BCAA ratio is spot on for optimal results. I took three tablets pre and post-workout on workout days and then in the morning on my non-workout days just to keep BCAA levels circulating in my system. Within a few days I noticed my recovery time improving with muscle soreness diminishing sooner than usual. My diet was already pretty rich in sources of BCAA’s so someone lacking in daily BCAA intake would definitely benefit. I also found the pills to be very convenient over powder and would be happy to recommend this to my clients.
Labeled the "Gatekeeper To Your Metabolism", highly purified Omega-3's have been shown to control whether your body stores fat or burns it... builds new muscle or breaks down what you have. Stop letting joint pain and inflammation ruin your workouts!
Pharmaceutical grade Omega-3's get right to the source of the pain by lubricating achy joints and preventing inflammation before it starts so you can feel what it's like to train without pain again!
If you’re not eating fish at least 4 times a week you’re not getting enough of the Essential Omega-3 fatty acids you need and it could be costing you any chance of maximizing your lean muscle building and fat loss efforts.
Appearing in highest concentration in brain cells... Omega-3's are deeply rooted in the functions of memory, mental alertness and reaction time. Multitask and organize with ease with a level of laser focus you most likely haven't experienced in awhile.
Omega-3 fatty acids can protect your body against the accumulation of the protein believed to be linked to Alzheimer's disease, according to studies published in The Journal of Neuroscience. Just another example of why EFA's have been given the reputation as an ingestible Fountain of Youth.
As the ONLY supplement endorsed by the American Heart Association... Omega-3's have been PROVEN to increase "good" cholesterol and decrease LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and heart disease risk! (Arm yourself with your daily combatant against the #1 killer in America)
When you workout you cause a mechanical breakdown of muscle tissue and muscle fiber micro-damage/inflammation. While this is a desired and necessary stimulus from which muscle regeneration and growth can occur... left uncontrolled, your body finds it nearly impossible to recover prior to the next workout and you wind up quickly descending into a vicious cycle of inflammatory overtraining. Simple math states that when you break down muscle cells faster than you can repair them... YOU DON'T GET RESULTS!
Omega-3's prevent this from happening by blocking excess inflammation before it starts (through powerful chemicals called prostaglandins) and therefore keeping the muscle repair process between workouts to a minimum. Think of them as your body's natural "firefighters" that race to the scene to put out the "flames" of muscle and connective tissue breakdown just before they get out of control and make growth impossible. But that's not all. Exciting new research is showing that the combination of ultra high grade omega-3's with protein is proving to produce even greater muscle building gains than protein alone, so those already consuming the typical high protein "bodybuilders" diet will see even more immediate changes to their bodies and reward for their hard efforts in the gym with the addition of pharmaceutical grade EFA's!
As fat burners, their potential gets even more intriguing. By keeping virtually every cell in your body operating at peak efficiency, pharmaceutical grade omega-3's can help you to achieve what's known as Peak Metabolic Activity (PMA) and speed up even the slowest metabolism to become a virtual fat burning furnace! Add in their scientifically proven abilities to stabilize key weight management hormones like insulin and leptin (which control your appetite and how your body stores fat) and you've got the ultimate ally in your battle to achieve sub-10% body fat levels year round.
As the key building blocks to not only your muscle and fat cells but EVERY cell in your body, omega-3 fatty acids can impact your overall health and metabolism more significantly than any other supplement you can put in your body. Fail to include them in your supplement regimen (or even worse... turn to inferior sources to get them) and your body will pay the price as you suffer the effects of overtraining at a cellular level.
You cannot synthesize essential fatty acids on your own... you absolutely need to find a reliable source to get them from if you're going to optimize your health. They're called ESSENTIAL for very good reason!
Branch Chained Amino Acids (BCAAs) have been a go–to supplement for athletes and serious trainees for quite some time. Comprised of three of the nine essential amino acids: leucine, isoleucine, and valine AALPHA features that crucial 2:1:1 ratio that’s been proven to deliver results.
No longer just for bodybuilders, research shows that the three amino acids found in AALPHA are the most important in building lean muscle tissue. They’re a crucial supplement for anyone looking to build muscle while staying lean or even more importantly while trying to get lean.
BCAA supplementation can promote muscle protein synthesis and increase muscle growth over time, particularly when taken consistently during intense training cycles. It can also be used to prevent fatigue during longer duration activities allowing you to maintain the intensity required to yield results.
Supplementing with AALPHA can prevent a serum decline in BCAAs, which occurs during exercise. A decreased concentration in the blood would normally cause a tryptophan influx into the brain, followed by serotonin production resulting in fatigue. This is where BCAA’s come in, out competing the serotonin uptake into the brain resulting in prolonged endurance.
BCAAs are important to ingest on a daily basis, and while some may argue that diet alone can provide sufficient BCAA, serious athletes rely on the convenience of supplementing with BCAA’s to ensure there’s no deficiency. Athletes following rigorous training schedules while maintaining or striving for a low body fat are highly encouraged to supplement with BCAA’s.
Intense training without a serious dedication to recovery leads to over-training, plateaued gains, and an increased susceptibility to illness. BCAAs can set up a roadblock on this physical road to ruin by increasing the lymphocyte responsiveness necessary to support immune function.
Essential amino acids are called essential because our body needs them and we cannot produce them on our own. While BCAA’s can be gotten through proper nutrition, when athletes are training hard while trying to stay lean the amount of essential amino acids they’re taking in can drop well below the amount needed to sustain the lean muscle gains they’re working towards. This is especially true when athletes are dieting down for competition, cutting weight or just trying to get their abs to show. When calories get restricted it’s crucial to stay out of that catabolic state. BCAA’s have been shown to be especially helpful in those situations by helping trainees not only hold on to the muscle mass they have but also assisting in building lean muscle.
Anyone who knows me knows that I like to stay lean. I started upping my intake of RX3 during a particular busy travel schedule. I noticed that I was starting to see better gains in size during that period. That lead me to look into the specific ingredients. The amount of BCAA’s that I was taking get these results would have yielded an unpalatable taste so I decided to put them into pill form. The best schedule for taking the BCAA’s is 1 serving twice a day before and after training.
Recovery is the number one requirement for gains in natural drug free lifters. Without it, results are compromised. Muscle recovery only addresses one half of the equation. Joint recovery is the most overlooked element of intense training and mistakenly taken for granted. MECHAN-X redefines joint recovery and in doing so, will make you rethink the results you may have thought were achievable!
With the 5 best hand-selected joint recovery ingredients, MECHAN-X was created to normalize joint mechanics and restore pain free range of motion throughout your body.
1.) If you’re constantly shifting the load away from the muscles you’re trying to build to make it easier to handle the joint discomfort you’re feeling, you’ll never get as big or strong as you’d like. Period. By relieving joint pain, MECHAN-X allows you to put the stress of exercise overload back on the muscles it was intended for! No more letting knee pain hold you back from getting bigger legs. No more allowing shoulder pain to keep you from developing the chest and upper body you deserve from your hard training.
2.) By reducing joint inflammation, MECHAN-X allows you to stop compensating and shifting loads to other joints that are poorly equipped to handle them! Passing the job of the knees onto the low back is the fastest way to injure your lumbar spine! Asking your body to press overhead with poor or altered scapular mechanics is a recipe for chronic shoulder pain! With normalized joint mechanics now in place, you can lift heavier and harder, and recover faster than ever!
Omega–3 fatty acids are considered essential fatty acids because humans cannot make them; therefore, they must be obtained through the diet or supplementation. Fish oils are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids that offer numerous health, as well as a variety of performance-enhancing effects, such as increasing muscle growth, improving strength and physical performance, reducing exercise-induced muscle damage and delayed-onset muscle soreness, combating negative immune effects of intensive training, strengthening bones, improving heart and lung functioning, and enhancing cognitive functioning.
Omega-3 Clinical Studies & References
Declining leucine levels signal mTOR that there's a lack of dietary protein present to synthesize new skeletal muscle protein, therefore disabling mTOR. Upon ingesting increased concentrations of leucine, the elevated amino acid then signals mTOR that sufficient dietary protein exists, and switches on overall protein synthesis. An increase in mTOR activity results in an increase in protein-building and more growth!
L-LEUCINE Clinical Studies & References
Valine helps prevent the breakdown of muscle by supplying the muscles with extra glucose for energy production during intense physical activity. Valine also helps remove potentially toxic excess nitrogen from the liver, and is able to transport nitrogen to other tissues in the body as needed. Valine may help treat liver and gallbladder disease, as well as damage to these organs caused by alcoholism and drug abuse. Valine may help treat or even reverse hepatic encephalopathy, or alcohol-related brain damage.
L-Valine Clinical Studies & References
Isoleucine can be seen as the BCAA which mediates glucose uptake (into a cell) and breakdown (into energy) to a larger degree than other amino acids and may serve a role as a hypoglycemic (in diabetics) or as a performance enhancer (if taken preworkout in a carbohydrate replete state).
L-Isoleucine Clinical Studies & References
Brand new studies suggest that Taurine is the most abundant amino acid in the body (above glutamine), particularly in the power generating type II fibers. Through supplementation it is possible to maintain peak stores of this important nutrient to enable more consistent force production without energy dropoff. Long term, taurine has been shown to be a cell volumizer that boosts internal muscle hydration…resulting in higher rates of muscle growth and function.

Dr. C’s Omega-3’s stay good in an unopened bottle for about 2 years.
You usually can’t smell the oil through the gels, but on occasion they can burst while being prepared for bottling, coating batches in a slight film of oil that you can smell.
Ethyl Ester.
It shouldn’t. Our gels are coated, which means they’re covered with a substance that helps ensure they break down in the small intestine and not the stomach (where excess gas can cause burps). If, for whatever reason, you do get any unpleasant ‘fish burps’, keep your bottle in the freezer and take it with food.
Absolutely.
A high-quality multivitamin can plug nutritional holes in your diet and benefit your health in various ways but won’t provide you with EPA or DHA.
You’d have to eat 1 to 2 servings of fatty fish every day to get the required amount of EPA and DHA.
Many fish rich in omega-3s also contain high levels of pollutants and toxins due to high levels of pollution in their environment.
Side effects are rare when fish oil is taken at the recommended doses.
Fish oil can reduce blood clotting and therefore is contraindicated if you’re taking blood-thinning medications, aspirin, warfarin, or clopidogrel.
If you’re using any of these medications, it’s best to check with your doctor before supplementing with fish oil.
In addition, fish oil should not be taken alongside fat-blockers (which probably don’t work anyway).
No. It is made from fish.

Yes.
AALPHA has no taste.
The recommended dosage is 4 tablets.
AALPHA does not contain any milk or dairy products. It is however made in a facility that processes milk, egg, peanut and wheat products so consumers with severe allergies to those may wish to consult with a physician before taking.
BCAA work by speeding up your muscle recovery time from a workout. Each time you workout with weights you create micro tears in your muscles which need to heal in order for you to train again. BCAA’s help in that repair process which ultimately leads to better gains in the gym.
It's best to take AALPHA before a workout, up to 15 minutes pre-workout. Alternatively AALPHA can be taken during your workout to help prevent fatigue.
MECHAN-X has no taste.
Yes. Our Glucosamine Chondroitin is derived from crustacean (shellfish).
No. MECHAN-X is cased in a capsule that is made from Gelatin and our Glucosamine Chondroitin is derived from crustacean (shellfish).
