Amino acids are never a waste of money. In our opinion amino acids should be part of every ones diet morning, afternoon, evening & night. You are getting a good amount of BCAA’s in muscle fuel anabolic but another amino supplement would be beneficial. Especially pre&post training.

Yes this is perfectly fine but would highly recommend purchasing a standard why protein to use daily to make sure you do not lack protein in your diet.

This product contains a test boosting stack which is unsuitable for persons under the age of 18. If he would like to supplement with a protein product we would suggest Muscle Fuel STS as this can used by persons over the age of 12 as a meal replacement or post-workout shake for after the gym or their sports.

Yes. Both can be stacked.

Yes this will be fine to go back on and stick with this untill you feel you are not gaining anymore. Once you reach this point you need to increase your food intake.

If you are taking this just once after your workout then the carbs in the product will be used to replenish glycogen levels, so it would not be stored as fat. However, building mass is about obtaining a calorie surplus to that of maintenance levels, some fat gain is expect when trying to build muscle. If you find you are putting on weight quick then we'd suggest cutting calories abit, until weight gain is a bit slower meaning more of that weight is quality muscle.

This product is not suitable for anybody under the age of 18.

Unfortunately this amount is hidden inside a proprietary blend which makes up (14,300mg) it would be around 5g of creatine per serving but we would strongly suggest you contact the manufacture direct for more information.

Follow the directions listed on the containers for the most effective results. Also we think you will benafit a lot more from the USN muscle fuel anabolic if your goal is to gain mass.

Muscle fuel anabolic already contains testo boosting properties so an additional test booster is not necessary but can still be combined unless the other test product states not to combine with other test boosters.

What you are doing at the moment is completely fine as you are covering the essential areas so as long as this is working for you, keep doing what doing.

You would benefit more from combining the two together than taking them seperate months as cell-tech contains no protein which is crucial for keeping your body in an anabolic state.

It can be taken with Muscle Fuel Anabolic however if you are consuming consistantly more creatine than you need you will just excrete the creatine out and it'll be wasted, so if you are obtaining 10g of creatine a day then you won't need to supplement with any extra. If only having one serving of muscle fuel anabolic a day, you would benefit from taking extra creatine with it.

If your goal is to increase muscle mass and strength then we would highly recommend adding muscle fuel anabolic into your daily diet in-between meals.

This would be perfect, however you need to remember when you to utilise the carbs best, so this would be perfect for either breakfast with some oats or definately post-workout, as soon as you have trained get a USN Muscle fuel anabolic down you and replenish all the glyocgen you have depleted.

For muscle building purposes we would recommend taking 2 full servings a day, 7 days a week. Please follow the manufactures directions of use.

As stated on the USN Muscle Fuel Anabolic label, this product is not to be used my individuals under the age of 18.

A break is not necessary. Continue to use muscle fuel anabolic as you need it.

Go with something like Synergy Iso-7 or the As One 40 if you put on fat easily or aren't doing cardio or high-intensity interval training regularly. Otherwise, yes, MFA is the best choice.

Muscle Fuel Anabolic has no ingredients that would be banned and the testo-booster ingredients aren't designed to raise test levels into the range that would be a problem for most drug tests but without knowing what they're testing for (their specific banned list), it's difficult to say.

Also, as with even some foods, it is possible that any supplement could contain a tiny (or in some very rare circumstances) a significant amount of some banned substance. This could happen either because some ingredients were processed in a facility that also handles banned ingredients or that the final product was produced in a facility that handles banned ingredients.

Maximuscle and EAS both offer drug screened products designed for tested athletes - look for the words "Drug Screened" or "Doping Free" on the label.

So you could use a product like Cyclone, which although expensive and having lower carbs and calories than the Anabolic, could (according to Maximuscle) eliminate the drug testing risks.

It takes 30 days for creatine levels to revert back to normal, so if you've been off for 1 week, load for 2 days, 2 weeks, load for 3 days, 4 weeks or over load for 5 days.

The "loading phase" is used for creatine loading and it entails using 4 servings of 5 grams of creatine for the first 5 days to maximize creatine levels in the muscle.

With MF Anabolic, you could get away with 2 servings daily for 8 days or so and then you would be adequately loaded (as the Anabolic improves creatine retention beyond just taking creatine alone). After this, you can just take one serving daily or 2 scoops twice daily.

If you mean 2 "scoops" per day, then 39

Both will work very similarily on a calorie for calorie basis. The Mutant Mass has the advantage of having healthy fats and fibres added to it (which makes it more like a meal) and the Anabolic already contains creatine, so make you choice based on those differences.
For MFA, take at least one serving daily (some people take two 2-scoop servings - a full serving is 3 scoops).
For Mutant, take 2 scoops, twice daily to start and adjust depending upon weight gain results. Add creatine to both shakes for the first 2 weeks then you can take it down to 1 serving of creatine added to your post-workout shake.

Yes, you can combine the three products.

Yes, although it is desinged to stimulate strength and muscle gains.
You have to understand, unless you just started training or are back from a layoff, you will not likely be able to build muscle without adding some bodyfat also, as you need to eat more calories than you burn to gain muscle.
Try to aim for 1/2 to 1 kilo weight gain per week and you should only gain a small amount of fat.

Muscle fuel anabolic is a quality packed all-in-one product that gives you everything you need for post workout recovery and muscle mass gains.

Would recommend taking a pre-workout to give you more energy and focus before you train if not already using one.

You can also take BCAAs or Essential Amino products before training.

Muscle Fuel Anabolic is a great product for gaining quality mass.

Muscle Fuel Anabolic is a great cost efficient way to get everything you need in one shake. Great for building mass and strength and can be taken any time of the day especially post workout.

Muscletech - Halo is also a great product to use but would recommend using a scoop of whey protein before you take the Halo.

You will need 5 and a quarter scoops if you are using the Pure Protein IGF 1 scoop. IGF 1 scoop is 28g per scoop and a full serving of Muscle Fuel Anabolic is 150g

The term "Anabolic" simply means "causes growth" and is not necessarily associated with Anabolic Steroids.

Anabolic Steroids are illegal to sell and will not be found in legal sport supplements (we don't sell banned ingredients or drugs).

Unless you have amazing genetics or have just started training or started training harder, it is very difficult to add muscle size without gaining some fat also. This is simply because you have to eat more calories than you burn to gain muscle.

So you can switch to Anabolic but keep an eye on the fat gains and if the calories start to "spill over" into body fat, then cut back from 3 scoops twice daily to 2 scoops and keep adjusting until you get the balance right.

Yes MFA and Performance Matrix can be combined. Although I would only use 2 scoops of MFA pre-workout Then take 2 scoops of MFA after training instead of the casein. Casein is a "slow" protein best used when you go long periods between meals, such as before bed. MFA has "fast" protein which is much better for post-training.

Sorry for the late respose due to essential maintenance

Creatine has been arround for over 20 years now as a supplement and there have been thousands of scientific studies and several safety reviews. As such creatine experts agree that it is safe. There is also no known "toxic" dose of creatine but if you are taking two full servings of Anabolic daily, then extra creatine would likely not be useful.

So there's no reason not to use the Super Charge but just use it pre-workout (not on off days).

Yes, these are fine to stack together. You just get a bigger dose of Avena Sativa.

As long as you're taking some creatine and getting enough quality protein on you off days also, you're fine to just use the Anabolic on training days.

Ne need to load again unless you've been off it for more than 10 days or so.

sorry for the delayed response due to essential maintenance.

Yes, excellent product for recovery from training, putting on muscle and increasing strength, good choice.

sorry for the delayed response due to essential maintenance.

To gain more mass, use the Anabolic twice daily, to stay leaner, use one serving and more of the protein (and cut the carbs down). Unless you just started training, you can't gain muscle and lose fat at the same time. So do as the pros do, gain the mass first and then cut down.

Yes, that should give very good gains and great pumps.
Apologies for the delayed response due to essential maintenance.

If you are using the Anabolic twice daily, then no need to add a creating supplement as it already has a pretty good dose of it. Go for an amino, Testo Booster or Pre-Workout product.

These two products are very similar - except MF Anabolic has a lot more calories and carbs (so better for mass gaining or for those with fast metabolisms or for post-workout use). So probably best to use one or the other depending upon wheather you want to straight out gain or to stay lean and support muscle building and recovery.

If you're lifting heavy and doing rugbyu training, just make sure you don't gain weight too quickly, as everyone starts to put on relatively more fat if they gain too fast. Usually up to a kilo a week but this will depend upon genetics also. MF Anabolic is an excellent quick strength and mass builder, so just monitor your weight gain and if you are gaining too much fat, cut the carbs or the serving size of the MF Anabolic by a scoop per day...

If you were using the Mutant 2 scoops twice per day, then the Anabolic will give you similar but probably more dramatic results because it has about the same calories but also contains creatine.

The 18 warning is probably based upon the avena sativa (which is added to support higher testosterone levels) and the creatine. Creatine hasn't got a lot of data in under-18s but has been researched in over 3000 scientific studies and has had numerous safety reviews. Virtually all legitimate experts now consider creatine to be completely safe.
Creatine has been exhaustively studied for its effect on kidney function and there is no reason to believe that it has negative effects in this regard. We obviously have to respect USN's decision to warn against under-18s using it. Other similar products suggest that only those over 16 use their products.

Take any quality whey protein (pharma whey, whey maxx, etc) and have it before or with any meals or snacks that aren't high in protein. You can also take it between meals or before bed.

You need to take at least one full serving of the MF Anabolic daily to get good results. Carb Watchers is a great meal replacemnt. It is more for replacing meals with a higher protein, lower carb alternative for getting lean. Whilst the Anabolic is for muscle gains. But you can use in between meals. You could also just use a whey protein powder if it's more for snacks and between meals or to up the protein in a meal.

Absolutely, this avoids the extra carbs before bed - good plan!

For fastest gains, take 3 scoops, twice daily (one always after training). You can take 2 scoops twice daily if you are gaining too quickly though. You have to adjust your diet and supplements up or down depending upon whether you want to gain weight or make slower lean gains.

Aim to gain about 1/2 to 1 kilo per week. Weigh yourself once per week, on the same day, first thing in the morning and if you gain less than this, up your carb intake, if you\'ve gained more, then decrease your carb intake. Always keep protein high. The Anabolic is best taken after workouts on training days and in between breakfast and lunch on non-training days.

If your exclusive goal is to gain muscle, then the cardio will only serve to make your energy/calorie requirements higher and we would advise against the cardio. Obviously, cardio does contribute to a balanced level of fitness but it could hold back your muscle gains.

Muscle Fuel Anabolic has Avena Sativa which is a testo-booster but it doesn't have a multi-ingredient test-boost formulat like 19-Anabol Testo. Anabolic contains all of the aminos, creatine, protein, carbs, calories you need but for a stronger test boost, you would need to add the 19.

Muscle Fuel Anabolic is probably the best All-in-One product for fast gains in size because it is higher in calories than other all-in-one products. We would definitely recommend it.

Yes, unless you are taking a seperate creatine product and you are worried that you are getting too many calories or something.

A good suggestion is to use it twice on training days and once on non-training days. Use more or less depending upon whether you are gaining the desired amount of weight (about 1 kg/week). You can use 2 instead of 3 scoops to get the calorie intake just right also.


Sorry for the late response due to necessary site maintenance.

Doesn\'t affect the product\'s performance as far as what foods you eat but obviously the more you eat the better mass gains you will make.

Sorry for the late response due to necessary site maintenance.

On training days, if it's the only product you're taking, take it just after training. On non-training days, it's probably best to take between breakfast and lunch. Although you can take it any time between meals of before bed.

Sorry for the late response due to essential maintenance...

Absolutely, M F Anabolic has some added leucine (part of the BCAAs) but research indicates that larger amounts of leucine can have a strong effect on muscle growth mechanisms.

There are 6 main ways to increase creatine retention in the muscle:
take it with at least 75 grams carbs
take it just before a big, high-carb meal
take it with about 50 grams of whey protein and 50 grams of carbs
take it with lipoic acid
Take it with a cinamon extract
take it after exercise

Therefore, Muscle Fuel Anabolic might be most likely to maximize creatine uptake of the products you mention. However, Nitro-Tech contains lipoic acid and other ingredients to increase insulin function (insulin is the hormone that increases creatine retention in the muscle). Nitro-Tech also contains nitric oxide boosters. Nitric oxide has been shown to improve creatine uptake also (and increase measures of muscle growth, strength, blood flow, etc). Unfortunately, the only way to see which does so better would be to do a scientific study comparing them and this has not been done.
Synergy, Cyclone and As-One will still probably cause better creatine retention than taking it with water but for maximum gains, you'd have to add extra carbs. The reason for the moderate carbs in these products is because they are "lean mass gainer" All-in-One Products, whilst MF Anabolic is a "Mass Gainer" All-in-One.
Nitro-Tech is a Whey Protein with added functional ingredients and is designed for people who want more results from their protein.

Go with the Synergy, as it is moderate in carbs (the Anabolic is designed for big gains and so has more calories and carbs).

Many people e-mail us and want to gain muscle without gaining fat. This is possible when you just start out training or when you come back from time off the gym and possibly if you have fantastic genetics.
BUT outside of the above scenarios, you are NOT going to gain muscle without gaining some fat!

To make maximum muscle gains, you have to also gain some fat because you have to be eating more calories than you are burning. So you have to decide whether you want to make big, fast gains or moderate, slow gains (or possibly no gains at all) by trying to stay lean while gaining muscle.
If you want fast gains, take the Anabolic twice daily (one serving to be taken after training on training days) and eat lots of food. If you want to make slower gains to minimize the fat gains, either take 2 scoops (instead of 3) twice per day and if you are still gaining weight too quickly, you should consider taking a product like Synergy Iso-7, which has far less carbs and calories but still has all of the other anabolic support ingredients. However, you will still likely gain some fat.

The relative amount of fat and muscle you gain will also depend upon your training intensity and duration and your particular genetics (whether you gain fat easily).

MF Anabolic has a vitamin/mineral blend added to it but it is not a very strong one. So if your diet isn't high in fruits, vegetables, meat and dairy, then you will benefit from the Pak. If your diet is good, go with the Stak.
For the MF Anabolic have 2 servings (2 to 3 scoops), twice daily, with one serving being after training on training days.

This is the best All-in-One product for mass and strength gains. If you are watching your calories or gain fat easily, try Nitro-Tech for the leanest gains (this product is a whey protein but it contains creatine and other ingredients to promote muscle gains) because it is lowest in carbs. Cyclone and Synergy Iso-7 have moderate carbs (more than Nitro but less than Anabolic) but Iso has fewer carbs and more protein (and tastes better).

Assuming you are taking them post-workout. Halo will add some ingredients to the Anabolic, as it has a big whack of leucine and other ingredients in it but they both contain creatine so you are probably getting more creatine than required, which would likely end up expelled in your urine. So not a total waste but because Anabolic is a fairly complete fromula, it is difficult to stack. People often use it with a pre-workout formula.
Either way, ensure that you get 2 servings of the Anaboic per day for best results.

Ultimate Nutrition is trademarked in Britain by a different company, so legally, they cannot currently be sold in this country although there is some discussion that it will soon be available under a different name.

This product is an All-in-One product. So called because it contains protein, carbs, creatine, test boosters and other anabolic ingredients. However, it also is high in calories so works very well for those trying to gain mass and strength and is excellent as a post-workout shake.

You can slowly drink a 2 scoop serving starting 1 to 2 hours before training.

Use this product twice per day between meals. On training days, take it immediately after training. There is no problem using it with milk and this adds 120 calories, 8 grams protein, 12 grams carbs and 5 grams fat (semi skimmed).

You would probably get better result from Muscle Fuel Anabolic because it contains creatine, HMB, Added BCAAs and other "add-on" ingredient and it only has slightly fewer calories. Start off with a full 3 scoop serving twice per day in between meals (with one serving after training on training days) and if that doesn't lead to at least 1 kg of gains per week, add in another daily serving of 2 scoops or increase the calories or your meals or add a snack.

If you take 2 scoops twice per day (using it as an All-in-One product) it will last 20 days and if you take the full 3 scoops twice per day (using it as more of a pure mass gainer) it will last 13 days.
Remember that this product contains several ingredients that you would have to purchase seperately otherwise and is a very cost-effective supplement. Also, to make big gains, you have to eat a lot of calories and if you tried to get this balance of quality proteins and carbs from food it would be more expensive and would have very little creatine fewer amino acids, etc.

Yes, take the Halo right after training and then mutant mass within 1/2 hour later. To maximize your reslults, take creatine monohydrate powder or a creatine tablet (like Creakic or Creadex) in addition to your Mutant Mass and Halo. Start off taking 4 servings of the creatine product per day for the first 5 days and thereafter take 1 to 2 servings per day (2 on training days and 1 on non-training days).

Yes, good stack. Take a serving of Mutant Mass just after the Halo immediately after training. A good addition would be a daily creatine product - take creatine monohydrate powder or a creatine tablet (like Creakic or Creadex). Start off taking 4 servings per day for the first 5 days and thereafter take 1 to 2 servings per day (2 on training days and 1 on non-training days).

You should take protein and creatine as your key supplements or a Weight Gainer product if you want to gain maximum mass.
Take a whey protein shake 2 to 3 times per day with one serving being just before your Halo immediately after training and take creatine monohydrate powder or a creatine tablet (like Creakic or Creadex). Start off taking 4 servings per day for the first 5 days and thereafter take 1 to 2 servings per day (2 on training days and 1 on non-training days).
To gain mass at the fastest rate, you can either do the Nitro/Cell stack (Nitro 3 times per day and Cell-Tech twice on training days and once on non-training days - always take one serving of Nitro immediately, followed by Cell-Tech right after training) OR you can use a weight gainer like Mutant Mass (along with powdered creatine) or Mass-Tech or Muscle Fuel Anabolic (which already contain creatine). If your diet is good (high in calories and protein), go with the Nitro/Cell stack, if your diet isn't so good, go with one of the mass gainers - start off with 2 to 3 scoops twice daily and increase until you are gaining the desired amount of weight per week (1/2 to 2 kilos).

If you stop taking this product, you will likely lose at least a small amount of muscle and strength. You can minimize this effect by ensuring that you have a high-protein, high-calorie diet and continue taking some form of creatine regularily. You should continue takinge a protein product too - REMEMBER protein powders (especially whey protein) are better quality and cheaper per gram of quality protein than buying eggs, chicken, beef, steak or other sources of protein!!

The reason for the dosage recommendations is that this product contains creatine, which works better and faster if it is loaded for 5 days. We would suggest taking at least 6 scoops per day for the first 5 days and then you could probably get away with 2-3 scoops thereafter (take a minimum of 2 scoops after exercise). If you take less than this you will likely not get very good results.

It contains both dairy and egg proteins, so as long as you are ok to drink milk and eat eggs, this product will comply with your dietary needs.

Yes, you may better off having 2 scoops instead of 3 twice per day, as the way to gain lean mass is just to ensure that you gain it more slowly (of course this means that you will also gain muscle more slowly - you can't gain muscle without gaining some fat also). Aim for gains of about 1/2 kilo per week and if you don't hit this goal, adjust your serving sizes and frequencies accordingly.

You will not experience any effects on your genitals as a result of using this product. No anabolic steroids are contained in this product, as this would be a criminal offence.

Nitro-Tech is great to take with it (as it also has creatine and other anabolic ingredients beyond just the whey protein) but Cell-Tech may make it difficult to lose fat as it is high in carbs (Although it is probably the best product for fast gains in muscle and strength).

Muscle Fuel Anabolic contains creatine and if you are using it at least twice per day (especially after workouts), then using an additional creatine product wouldn't likely have much additional effect.

Go with a NO product like NaNO Vapor or NO Shotgun as a pre-workout stimulant for extra energy in the gym and better muscle pumps.

See the article - http://www.tropicanafitness.com/view/v/article/a/8 - on Nitric Oxide (NO) / Pre-Workout products

Nitro-Tech plus Cell-Tech is the best stack as far as having research supporting its effectiveness and feedback from our customers.

The smallest tub is 2 kilograms. This is a very popular product so you should be happy with the results.
Using this product twice daily covers most of the bases for muscle growth including creatine.

The products you suggest are a good combination. In may last e-mail, I suggested a gainer because you'll never get big without eating lots of calories. As you suggest, no gaining strategy is complete without creatine. In my opinion, the best creatine tablets are Creakic and Creadex but there are other good ones too. For Nitric Oxide products, the best value is Six Star NO Fury but naNO Vaopur is excellent if you want a premium product.

As before, I would recommend reading our articles section because then you'll be able to make the best decisions for yourself in future and design stacks for maximum results.

Muscle Fuel Anabolic is taken by adding 3 rounded scoops to 500-600 ml of cold water and blend or shake in a shaker for 30 seconds.
Take 2 servings for the first 5 days and then 1 per day thereafter (they suggest 2-3 servings per day for the first 5 days and 1-2 servings thereafter for those weighing over 80kgs). USN further recommend not taking other creatine products with Muscle Fuel Anabolic.
