Yes. One full serving post workout will be sufficent.

Yes. You take 2 servings 7 days per week.

Yes, PhD Synergy Iso-7 is a very well formulated low-carb all in one product which will help you maintain muscle size and strength. A great product to stack with Synergy Iso-7 to help decrease bodyfat would be PhD Lean Degree to help speed up the rate at which you burn calories. USN Muscle fuel STS is a great meal replacement formula which is best used in place of a meal if needed.

It is quite low in lactose (probably 1 or 2grams per serving), so unless you are severely lactose intolerant, it should be fine for you to take.

If you want virtually zero lactose, you'll need to buy a "whey protein isolate" product like VP2, Hydro Whey, Ultra Iso Whey, Whey Isolate, etc. These are significantly more expensive.

It's 30 servings and to be taken twice daily, so 15 days. Although many people use more or less than the 2 servings daily, depending upon their diet, their goals and how hard they train.

No need to add ZMA to this, as it contains a quality form of Zinc and Magnesium, along with B6.

Yes, since it's a small amount of creatine per serving, you will get faster results if you load with an additional creatine product for the first 5 days. take 4 total servings of creatine per day for the first 5 days and then just use the Synergy twice daily.

Note: you will eventually get full effects of creatine by using Synergy as directed but it will just take 3 to 4 weeks versus 5 days (if you load along with another creatine product).

Also note that taking Synergy improves creatine uptake somewhat versus taking a creatine product with just with water or juice.

Yes. Use V max pump prior to workout and Synergy-iso-7 as your daily protein.

Please refer to manufacture directions of use for full details.

There are many factors that decide how much fat you put on when you are trying to build muscle and size - genetics/your metabolic rate, training intensity and duration, etc. The one fact is that unless you've just started training or have increased the intensity or your training, it is VERY difficult for most people to put on muscle mass without any gains in fat. This is simply because you can't gain muscle without increasing your calories to beyond your requirements.

So unless you are genetically blessed, you have to increase your calories to gain muscle. If you gain slowly (about 1/2 to 1 kg per week) then most gains should be muscle.

Whey, creatine and BCAA are excellent "core" supplements and as long as you get enough calories, this should work very well for you.

As far as we are aware EAS & Maximuscle are the only companies that claim their products are clear of any banned substances. Other companies screen their ingredients regularily but it is possible (although unlikely) that tiny amounts of banned substances could find their way into the product. This can also happen with vitamins and even with foods, so unfortunately the system is inhernetly unfair to athletes, etc.

At least as good and less cost per serving, along with great taste.

Yes you can but it doesn't contain as many vitamins, minerals and fibre as found in a nutritious meal, so if the rest of your diet isn't high in fruit, veg, meat, etc then you may want to have it with a multivitamin and a banana.

Both supplements are very similar as they are both lean gaining all in one products. Cyclone is probably the best seller but it is also the most expensive - especially on a per serving basis.

The best thing to do is try a tub of both and see which you get the best results from as each individual is different in the way these products affect them.

You can take an All-in-One only, twice daily and it meets your protein creatine, etc needs for most people but it won't give you energy or a pump in the gym like a pre-workout product. And it doesn't have as much carbs or leucine as a post workout like Anator and so won't yield the same muscle recovery effects.

There are no banned ingredients but if you are subject to testing, you would want to stick to products that say "Drug Screened" or "Doping Free" like EAS and Maximuscle.

Synergy contains whey as its protein source, which delivers aminos to the blood for 3.5 to 4 hours, whereas casein delivers aminos for over 7 hours, so there is a difference there. However, casein doesn't have nearly as much research support as a muscle-builder, whereas whey has stacks!

So go ahead and use the Synergy just before bed as you can probably acheive the same results without the casein as long as you have a good breakfast and eat and train well in general.

If you are trying for maximum recovery - both of muscle and energy repletion between training sessions/matches, then the Synergy may be a little too low in carbs. You could use Muscle Fuel anabolic, which already has the creatine (and amino acids, etc) and you wouldn't have to add carbs to it (Gatorade). If you're watching the calories a bit, then go for the PhD Recovery 2:1 - it contains the creatine, protein, moderate carbs etc).

Synergy twice daily is great for lean gains but if you want big, fast gains or if you are a hard gainer, then you need something with more calories. Try Muscle Fuel Anabolic - it has a similar formula but just more calories and carbs for gaining.

Absolutely

Creatine can definitely be taken long term. There is no evidence of methoxy being harmful long term but this has not been studied extensively (although thousands of people probably use it long term).

Methoxy has never been shown to have any harmful effects and PhD don\'t recommend that you take time off it.
Muscle Fuel Anabolic is best if you want maximum gains but possibly too many calories for some people or if you are trying to stay lean. As you say, Synergy is at least as good a formula as Promax Extreme and has a more sensible protein to carbohydrate ratio that is perfect for gaining lean mass without overdoing the carbs or calories for those who gain fat easily.

16 year olds should not use testosterone boosters. testosterone levels are already at their peak at this age. Stick to using protein or weight gainers (depending upon what body type you have, your goals and how easily you gain weight) and creatine products.

The Methyl-T3- Strength Stack isn\'t an ingredient, it is the name given to the combination of the 3 ingredients including 5-Methyl-7-Methoxy-Isoflavone.

5-Methyl-7-Methoxy-Isoflavone has been arround in a few different forms for decades and has been used in sports nutrition products for at least 10 years now and hundreds of thousands of products have been sold that contain it. I don\'t know of any negative effects having ever been reported from its use. So I doubt it has any negative effects. However, in the end, it has to be your decision.

As far as the Methoxy, there isn\'t enough research to say you should or shouldn\'t \"cycle off\" it but there is no evidence of harm in using it long term so far. Creatine and HMB can be taken continuously because they and similar molecules have been in our diet since before humans walked upright and there is no evidence of negative side effects in either (despite the ill-informed reports of side effects from creatine).
There is no evidence that ZMA absorption or retention is affected by dairy products.

An extra dose on training days may have a small additional effect but 2 servings of Synergy is enough creatine for most people.

Sorry for the delayed response due to essential website maintenance.

Creatine has not been shown to affect growth (height wise) and there's no good reason to believe it is a problem to take it at your age but very little research has been done on people your age. Whoever told you it can have negative affects on your heart and organs is misinformed. There are now over 3000 scientific studies on creatine and most experts believe it has no negative side effects whatsoever. The Synergy is probably a good choice as (like you said) it is not high in creatine.

Can't really improve much on that. The only possible change would be that if you are only using the MF Anabolic (which is a great product, don't get me wrong) as a post-workout product, you could switch to a purpose-designed post-workout product like Torrent or Anator P70.

Yes, these products contain mostly different ingredients. The only thing to watch is your zinc intake, as both products contain a good dose of zinc. Over time, this can possibly have some side effects but as long as you don't take both products together for more that a few months, it shouldn't be a problem.

Synergy also contains creatine, so as long as you take it twice per day, you'll be fine for creatine. Be aware that Synergy has fewer carbs and calories, so you can expect slower mass gains but perhaps with less fat gains (depends upon your bodytype and goals which product is appropriate for you).

This product does contain a moderate amount of creatine monohydrate, which has been heavily studied and is considered safe but hasn't been studied in too many people under 18 (although it has been studied in young children with certain diseases without any aparent negative effects). Creatine is also found naturally in the diet (although in smaller amounts).
So it's your choice but you should be fine to take this product.

This is the perfect supplement to use as the two most important supplements to take are creatine and protein and this product contains both. It also has a moderate amount of carbs to help with protein and creatine delivery. Take this product immediately after training. You can also take it an hour or so before training but you may have a small meal instead and have the other serving at a different time of day. For quickest results, take three servings per day for the first 7 days and then back to 2 per day.

One Stop has a similar ingredient profile to Synergy but reports are that the One Stop doesn't taste that great. Promax extreme is very low in carbs (so you won't absorb as much creatine and won't recover optimally after workouts) and also only contains 10 servings per tub.

Synergy suggests that you take it twice per day - 60-90 min before your workout and either any other time during the day or just after your workout. You could also use it just as a post workout product and have it between meals on non-workout days.
