This stack helps me stay pain free for my workouts and stay consistent every month.
This stack helps me get through intense training sessions and able to come back the next day ready for more.
The best in the market!
I love the overall result of these supplements they work but the sweeteners make me nauseous.
I’ve been buying a lot of fish oil through Amazon after careful research. In terms of price and all you get with this stack you honestly can’t beat the quality.
Jeff puts out good programs and good supplements. This is no different. If you have joint or DOMs pain. This is your solution
I do gymnastics and competitive cheer. My boyfriend gave me some of his post workout recovery drink one night after a rough workout. I didn’t really like the taste but it made me feel so much better the next day. My dad is a Doctor and he recommends taking a fish oil and since I’m doing so much wear and tear on my joints a glucosamine supplement as well. This stack has all three. I get the pina colada flavor and like that much beter then the one my boyfriend had.
I don’t know what to say about this other than it works. The flavor of the RX3 is pretty intense. Its not bad but it’s not sweet like the pre workout. The other a re just pills you take. I take the BCAAs before and during my workouts, the other one I take before bed. I’ve been lifting for about 30 years…a long time. This helps me feel like I could do this for another 30.
I used to take cannabis oil for joint pain but something about it didn’t sit right with me. I started taking RX3 and I noticed it helped with muscle soreness. I didn’t expect much, I sort of just took it on a whim but it worked. I figured why not go for the whole stack. This is my fourth one!
The Power
You can’t make gains if you’re constantly battling with the discomfort of muscle soreness or chronic joint pain. Our recovery stack is perfect for veteran level athletes who have been in the game for awhile or for anyone who simply can’t afford to not be at their best for their next training session or competition. RX-3 accelerates muscle recovery and helps mitigate Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS). Those who have used it often report “night and day” differences in body readiness after even just one dose, swearing to never train without it again. Also included in the stack are our pharmaceutical grade omega-3 fish oils for their muscle anti-inflammatory and heart health benefits as well as MECHAN-X, our three part joint recovery formula for restoring pain free range of motion and function. If you're constantly sidelined with injuries or missing workouts due to soreness or nagging aches and pains, this stack is just what you need.
The Science
Years of research and planning went into the formulation of ATHLEAN-RX Supplements. Not only did we make sure to include the most scientifically proven and trusted ingredients during their development, but our commitment to constantly updating our formulas to reflect the latest advancements in sports nutritional science has and always will be our top priority. We set an amazingly high bar for quality supplementation, continuing to test and retest our formulas based on the feedback of some of the world’s greatest professional athletes as well as our loyal customers. What you have before you is the result of our obsession...the best supplements available on the market, not just in efficacy and performance - but in taste and reliability as well.
The Facts
All of ATHLEAN-RX supplements have been researched to provide clinically proven dosages of the most effective supplement ingredients in the world. We never use fillers, harsh chemicals or banned substances which is why our customers never experience jitters, crashes, or bloat common in lesser quality brands. Our supplements include premium, patented ingredients such as CarnoSyn® Beta-Alanine as well as creatine in its more readily absorbable state (as both CON-CRET® patented Creatine Hydrochloride and Kre-Alkalyn®), to ensure you’re getting the best product on the market.
All of our supplements are proudly produced in the United States to the highest industry standards. Our commitment to transparency and quality has RX supplements trusted by many of the top teams and athletes in major league sports subject to the most rigid drug testing standards.
The Results
If you find that you are too sore or are dealing with excessive muscle and joint pain after an intense training session, the RX Recovery Stack will help to mitigate those aches and pains and have you ready to attack your next workout. RECONSTRUXION will help to fight the dreaded post-workout soreness, with MECHAN-X aiding to restore joint health while DR C’s OMEGA-3’s is working to reduce muscular inflammation. With the Recovery Stack, you won’t have to worry about being ready to tackle your next training session...you’ll be looking forward to it.
"As I got older, I realized two things. The first was that I was grateful I started taking fish oil early in my life. My father, an internal medicine physician, saw the anti-inflammatory benefits supplemental high grade omega-3’s could provide so he went on to create a brand he and his patients could trust in. The second was that I wish I started taking a quality glucosamine and Chondroitin formula (like that found in MECHAN-X) much earlier. With the natural aging process generally resulting in 5-7% strength loss per decade, doing everything we can to maintain normal, healthy joint biomechanics is a must. When you break the pain and inflammation cycle with quality recovery supplements you can still hit it hard to keep the hands of time at bay...and those gains coming long after they should have stopped."

Research suggests that L-Carnitine L-Tartrate improves muscle recovery and repair times. This is probably due to a boost in nitric oxide (NO) production, which improves blood flow and oxygen consumption in the muscles. LCLT also increases androgen receptors in the muscle cells, which means more testosterone is recruited to build muscle.
- Improves muscle recovery and repair between training sessions (probably due to a boost in Nitric Oxide and an increase in muscle oxygen consumption)
- Increases androgen receptors in muscle cells, thereby recruiting more testosterone to build muscle
- Improves insulin sensitivity

RX-3 RECONSTRUXION
For enhanced muscle recovery, mix 1 scoop with 8-12 ounces of water and take daily. Use ReconstruXion daily as a recovery aid and to assist in blunting the effects of DOMS after sessions of intense training.
MECHAN-X
Take 3 capsules at night before bed.
DOCTOR C'S OMEGA 3'S
For anti-inflammatory benefits take 3 capsules with food everyday. Users who wish to exceed this dosage should consult with their physician.

RECOVERY STACK
The recovery stack is great for people who are killing it in their workouts, have their diets 100% dialed in and are seeing the gains in size and strength that they want but need some help with soreness and overall recovery. If you find it tough to get through intense workouts then adding in X-CITE would be a good start. If you’re falling short of your protein intake then X-LR8 would be a good addition.
All of our supplements are proudly produced in the US using the highest industry standards.
When I set out to determine doses of ingredients, I looked to the scientific literature.
Specifically, I reviewed every well-designed, well-executed, peer-reviewed study I could find on the molecule and find the dose that confers the maximum benefits with the minimum side effects.
These doses are known as “clinically effective doses” because they are backed by scientific studies and demonstrated to produce the desired effects. Simply having an ingredient on the supplement facts panel doesn’t ensure that you’re getting enough of the ingredient to cause the desired effect.
RX-3 RECONSTRUXION
Yes! Women will receive the same muscle recovery benefits as men when taking ReconstruXion regularly.
Nutrition facts panels are calculated for people on a 2000 calorie diet, so people under 120lbs or following a low calorie diet may wish to use smaller servings of ReconstruXion.

L-Glutamine is most commonly used for improving healing time following injuries or surgery. It can also help speed recovery time between training sessions due to an increase in nitrogen levels in the muscle cells which assists in protein synthesis. L-Glutamine is also recognized for boosting the immune system, increasing energy levels and helping to regulate blood sugar levels. Since ReconstruXion contains a very high clinical dose of L-Glutamine users are able to glean the desired effects of this powerful Amino Acid.

All of our supplements are proudly produced in the US using the highest industry standards.
ReconstruXion is produced in a facility that processes peanuts, eggs, milk and wheat. Athletes with sensitivities to these foods may wish to consult with their physician before taking this product.
All our supplements have been monitored and formulated to meet the tastes of our users based on their feedback. However, BCAAs typically possess an extremely bitter taste profile. Leucine, which is considered to be the most effective of the three BCAAs at promoting muscle protein synthesis, is also the most bitter. As a result, the higher the leucine concentration, the more bitter and unpalatable the product becomes. If you find the taste of ReconstruXion to be too bitter, simply mix in more water. Additionally you may use a smaller scoop until you strike the perfect balance for your tastes.
We recommend using ReconstruXion once daily on training and non training days . You can take ReconstruXion after your workouts on training days or anytime on non-training days.

Supplementing with fish oil can help you build muscle, lose fat, and stay lean. (1) (2) (3)
As I always say, no amount of supplements can give you the body you really want. Proper training and nutrition will get you most of the way there, once that’s locked in you can use supplements to fill in any gaps and give you that extra boost.

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.
