Ive read many reviews and i would def. try it. But not at that price. Maybe if lots of generics come out, and it drops to maybe $25-30, id consider using it.

Yeah, that is what I heard him post too???

I just couldn't imagine cutting out all my good fats. That just does not seem right. Tell me if I'm wrong.

It is probably not worth the price, and also I think I read somwhere that it can cause cancer(not sure on that one).

X-factor actually looks pretty promising - as long as you don't ingest it indefinitely.

I've read some over on AM about it. I've read some post that suggest it would be a good stacking option with sd and also using it pct to maintain(if not increase) gains.

I've used X-factor and it works very well. Yes you need to limit your EFAs and lessen the use of anti-inflamitories if you use them.


It is safe to use. Is very effective with proper diet.

If you have any questions about X-factor and I'll answer all that I can.

X-factor is normally taken for a 50 day cycle followed by 50 days off cycle.

I under-estimated how effective X-factor is and didn't eat enough calories and protein and actually lost 8lbs of fat during the 50 days.

My training was nothing special. I train 5 days a week. I usually do 4 sets for 8 reps per exercise for core muscles and 3 sets for 8 reps on secondary muscles. About 3-4 different exercises per muscle group.

what were your strenth gains like for the major lifts ....bench press, squat, dead, and shoulder press.

I had a modest strength increase which is good for me. When I usually drop bodyweight I loose a ton of strength. To actually have a modest strength increase while dropping weight was a big thing to me. It really showed how effective X-factor can be.

I still find it difficult to imagine cutting back my efa's to use this product efficiently. Tell me what you did? That basically means no added good fats only food from dietary sources such as dairy and meat.

So what exactly is this compounds/formulation?

If prostanoids interfere with it....let me guess, its fricking arachadonic acid.


And no, Roj, everything does NOT cause cancer.

But some poorly thought out stacks certainly bend probability towards unhappy outcomes.

I wonder what the lipid peroxidation and liver chemistry profiles look like for users of this product...hmmm.

<this sent me on a search for more information on the action of AA, beyond the first of my two additional posts in this thread> The second one has the important benefit with recent citation to support my rethinking on the potential use of this supplement.>

Thats why I went back and edited this post, too!

You don't have to cut all out but limit the amount you consume. I was consuming 2 servings of natural Peanut Butter a day which I quit while taking X-factor and stopped eating nuts which I just ate occasionally.

You can still consume some EFA but only consume a limited amount.

Holy shit.

Yeah, lets just inject the compound that signals for cell adhesion loss, especially if we want to stack with steroids that induce high rates of cell turn over and hyperplasia! Bingo.

And no, Roj, everything does NOT cause cancer.

Trouble I assume you do not recommend AA?

Not so much that I'm against it, its just such a dang important system control regulator, in both body tissue and in brain.

Now, you go take a look at these articles. I'm not going to paste em in here, cause they're long and involved discussion of what will appear to be arcane and confusing activities.

Point is, you're fiddling with a whole complex set of controls in the brain in particular, when you use this compounds, cause its stores - says that somewhere in the middle of the first article. It gets released under certain sets of signals.

Key here is to note that cells clamp down, regulate the release of this arachidonic acid - cause its such an important trigger for so many different and highly important processes.

Thats a big switch your're thowing, when you load up brain cells and other tissues with this compound.

General actions: http://www.arthritis.co.za/arachid.html

http://www-ermm.cbcu.cam.ac.uk/03005854h.htm

Actions in the brain:

http://www.acnp.org/g4/GN401000059/CH059.html

This article discussed how AA acts on Leydig cells in testes, acting to regulate LH action - note that it decreases test production.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.f...5&dopt=Abstract

AA is intrinsic to lipid metabolism:

http://web.indstate.edu/thcme/mwking/lipid-synthesis.html

And you'll see that the HETE metabolites play an important role in steroidigensis in adrenals, sex organs and act as neurohormone regulators in brain.

http://joe.endocrinology-journals.org/cgi/...stract/125/1/89

http://content.febsjournal.org/cgi/content...act/269/22/5599

This article states explicitly that the action of AA is much more complex than previously thought (2005 pub):

http://mend.endojournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/19/11/2647

(see also the discussion of AA action in brain, above, and in LH regulation, above)


http://humrep.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/conte...bstract/1/6/349


AA plays an important role in immune system function and the inflammatory response:

http://www.australianprescriber.com/magazi...eukotrienes.htm


I am not so much against use of AA as an supplement, as I am stressing extreme caution in its use. It has many positive and beneficial roles in the body..but in excess, may have an equally weighty role in the perturbation of control systems with negative consequences.

As in all supplements, know what you're taking, use prudence and moderation in use.
