Each 75g serving (3 scoops) with 500 to 600ml of water provides 282 kcal, 16.65g of protein from mixed sources — Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC) and Micellar Casein — and 50.93g of carbohydrates from maltodextrin, creating a substantial caloric surplus and an anabolic environment conducive to muscle growth. The formula goes beyond a simple gainer, also incorporating BCAAs, L-Glutamine, and Creatine Monohydrate as performance ingredients, and the DIGEZYME® enzyme complex for digestive support. No added sugars, no soy protein, and no amino spiking. Available in 4 flavors: Chocolate, Cookies and Cream, Strawberry, and Vanilla.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eBenefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHybrid dual-absorption protein formula — WPC + Micellar Casein:\u003c\/strong\u003e The strategic combination of Whey Protein Concentrate with Micellar Casein creates a dual-release protein matrix that covers different phases of muscle recovery. WPC is relatively fast-absorbing, providing a sharp peak of amino acids in the immediate post-workout period, where muscle protein synthesis is maximal. Micellar Casein forms a gel in the stomach that is slowly digested over 4 to 6 hours, maintaining a continuous supply of amino acids — particularly leucine, the main activator of protein synthesis — during the prolonged recovery phase after training. This combination is especially advantageous in a mass gainer, where the goal is to keep the body in an anabolic state as continuously as possible throughout the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e50.93g of carbohydrates per serving for caloric surplus and glycogen replenishment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maltodextrin is the carbohydrate of choice in quality mass gainers due to its high energy density, good solubility, and moderate-to-fast absorption rate. With 50.93g of carbohydrates per serving, Anabolic X creates a significant caloric surplus (282 kcal per serving) which is indispensable for muscle anabolism — without a caloric surplus, the body does not have enough energy substrate to synthesize new muscle tissue, regardless of training or protein intake. Carbohydrate intake after training also stimulates insulin secretion, the main anabolic signal that favors the transport of amino acids and creatine into muscle cells.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBCAAs and L-Glutamine for recovery and anti-catabolism:\u003c\/strong\u003e The inclusion of BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids: L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine) and L-Glutamine in the Anabolic X formula adds an extra layer of muscle recovery support beyond the base protein. BCAAs — and in particular L-Leucine — directly activate mTOR, the main regulator of muscle protein synthesis, amplifying the anabolic signal of the post-workout meal. L-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in skeletal muscle and plays a relevant role in preventing catabolism in high-volume training contexts, in intestinal mucosal health, and in immune support in athletes with high training loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCreatine Monohydrate for strength, power, and muscle volumization:\u003c\/strong\u003e The presence of Creatine Monohydrate in the Anabolic X formula makes it a complete performance gainer, eliminating the need for separate creatine supplementation during the mass gain phase. Creatine, when taken with carbohydrates, has significantly greater cellular muscle absorption than when taken alone, thanks to the insulin spike caused by maltodextrin intake — which makes the post-workout timing of Anabolic X the ideal moment for creatine supplementation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDIGEZYME® for comfortable digestion of high caloric doses:\u003c\/strong\u003e The inclusion of the patented DIGEZYME® enzyme complex — with protease, amylase, lipase, cellulase, and lactase — is especially relevant in a mass gainer, where the 75g dose represents a considerable digestive load, which can cause gastrointestinal discomfort, bloating, and slow digestion in people with digestive sensitivity. DIGEZYME® improves the digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and lactose present in the formula, making the product more tolerable and increasing nutrient bioavailability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo added sugars, no soy protein, no amino spiking:\u003c\/strong\u003e Despite being a mass gainer — a category often associated with formulas with excessive simple sugars, low-quality proteins, or adulteration with cheap amino acids — Anabolic X maintains Dirty Squads' clean label philosophy, with carbohydrates exclusively from maltodextrin, real protein without spiking, and a total absence of added sugars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eUses\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePost-workout or as a hypercaloric meal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mix 3 scoops (75g) with 500 to 600ml of cold water.

However, recent research questions this classification in contexts of high physiological demand: the endogenous glycine synthesis capacity (estimated at ~3 g\/day) may be insufficient to cover the body's total needs in situations of accelerated growth, intense training, high metabolic stress, increased collagen synthesis or compromised liver function. Estimates published in PLoS ONE by Razak et al. (2017) and Alves et al. (2019) suggest that the \"glycine gap\" (glycine deficit between endogenous synthesis and total metabolic needs) can be 10 to 13 g\/day in healthy adults with a typical Western diet, which places glycine in a limbo between \"non-essential\" and \"conditionally essential\" based on current evidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollagen synthesis: the central and most documented role of glycine:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eGlycine is the most abundant amino acid in collagen (it accounts for ~33% of the total amino acids in collagen), given that the triple-helix structure of collagen requires the repetitive sequence Gly-X-Y (where X is often proline and Y is often hydroxyproline), and only glycine, being the smallest amino acid, fits into the centre of the triple helix without creating steric hindrance. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body (~30% of total protein mass), being the main structural component of tendons, ligaments, cartilage, bones, skin, blood vessels and fascia. Collagen synthesis therefore depends on an adequate intake of glycine, and supplementation with glycine together with vitamin C (cofactor of prolyl hydroxylase and lysyl hydroxylase, the enzymes that stabilize the collagen triple helix by hydroxylation of proline and lysine) has a growing evidence base for supporting joint health, recovery from tendon and ligament injuries, and skin health. The study by Shaw et al.

In addition to GlyRs, glycine is also an obligatory co-agonist of NMDA receptors (N-methyl-D-aspartate) for glutamate, modulating excitatory glutamatergic neurotransmission. In the context of sleep, glycine has a specific mechanism of action documented by studies by Makoto Bannai's group (Japan): oral glycine supplementation (3 g before bed) reduces core body temperature through peripheral vasodilation (via activation of glycine receptors in the hypothalamus that inhibit cutaneous vasoconstriction mechanisms), and the decrease in core body temperature is one of the essential physiological triggers for sleep induction. The clinical trial by Bannai \u0026 Kawai (2012), published in Sleep and Biological Rhythms, documented that 3 g of glycine before bed reduced sleep latency (time to fall asleep), increased the proportion of slow-wave sleep (deep sleep), reduced daytime sleepiness, and improved subjective perception of sleep quality in volunteers with complaints of insufficient sleep quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEndogenous creatine production: glycine as a precursor of the most documented sports supplement:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eCreatine is synthesized endogenously in a two-step pathway: (1) arginine + glycine → guanidinoacetate + ornithine (catalyzed by the AGAT enzyme, in the kidney), (2) guanidinoacetate + methionine → creatine + homocysteine (catalyzed by GAMT, in the liver). Glycine is therefore a direct and limiting precursor of endogenous creatine synthesis.

It is primarily stored in skeletal muscle (~95%) as free creatine (~40%) and phosphocreatine or creatine phosphate (~60%). Phosphocreatine is the reference energy substrate of the phosphagen system, the metabolic pathway responsible for the ultra-rapid regeneration of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) during the first 10 to 15 seconds of maximal exercise, such as a sprint, a maximal lift, or an explosive jump. By increasing muscle phosphocreatine stores through supplementation, creatine monohydrate increases ATP regeneration capacity during high-intensity efforts, leading to documented improvements in strength, power, number of repetitions, and training volume.

This reduced particle size results in three practical advantages over non-micronized, coarser-grained creatine monohydrate: the suspension in liquid is more homogeneous and lasts longer (smaller particles settle more slowly), partial dissolution is faster, and the gritty texture sensation in the mouth is significantly reduced. Creatine monohydrate is not strictly water-soluble (it does not form a true solution), but it does suspend in liquid, and the fineness of 200 mesh powder makes this suspension homogeneous enough to be easily consumed mixed in 200 to 250 ml of water, juice, or protein shake without detecting the particles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100% pure: no additives, no blends, no dilution by excipients:\u003c\/strong\u003e HSN's RawSeries philosophy is based on maximum purity and transparency: a single ingredient, without additives, flavourings, sweeteners, anti-caking agents, or any other ingredient other than pure creatine monohydrate.

The International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) position statement classifies it in category A evidence (the highest), concluding that it is the most effective ergogenic nutritional supplement available for athletes aiming to increase high-intensity exercise capacity and lean muscle mass during training. Creatine is a nitrogenous compound endogenously synthesized in the liver, kidneys, and pancreas from the amino acids arginine, glycine, and methionine, and preferentially stored in skeletal muscle (95% of body reserves) in the form of phosphocreatine (PCr) and free creatine. A supplementation dose of 3 to 5 g\/day progressively raises intramuscular phosphocreatine reserves to saturation levels (typically reached in 3 to 4 weeks without a loading phase, or in 5 to 7 days with a loading phase of 20 g\/day in 4 doses).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe mechanism of action: ATP resynthesis via phosphocreatine and the benefits on performance in high-intensity efforts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe central ergogenic mechanism of action of creatine is the acceleration of ATP (adenosine triphosphate, the universal energy currency of cells) resynthesis via the creatine kinase reaction: phosphocreatine (PCr) donates its phosphate group to ADP (adenosine diphosphate) to regenerate ATP immediately, without the need for oxygen and without lactate production. This pathway (phosphagen system or ATP-PCr system) is the fastest of all ATP resynthesis pathways and the predominant one in the first 10 to 15 seconds of maximum effort. With greater phosphocreatine reserves available (thanks to supplementation), the muscle can sustain high-intensity efforts for longer periods before exhausting the phosphagen pathway and having to resort to anaerobic glycolysis (slower and lactate-producing). In practice, this translates into: a greater number of maximum repetitions per set in strength training; greater average power in repeated sprints; maintenance of strength and power at the end of exhaustive sets; and greater total sustainable training volume per session. In addition to the acute effect on muscle bioenergetics, chronic creatine supplementation activates anabolic signaling pathways (IGF-1, mTOR) that enhance muscle protein synthesis and long-term hypertrophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClinical evidence: magnitude and consistency of documented benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe meta-analysis by Lanhers et al.

The meta-analysis by Rawson \u0026amp; Volek (2003) on high-intensity exercises and repeated sprints documented an average improvement of 15% in peak power and 14% in average power. These effects are robust, replicable, and consistent across sexes, ages (young adults and older adults), and training levels (sedentary to high-performance athletes), with creatine being the only ergogenic supplement with this level of consistency across populations and contexts of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e99.95% purity: the difference that defines product quality and safety:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe 99.95% purity specification of Creapure® means that 99.95g out of every 100g of the product is chemically pure creatine monohydrate, with the remaining 0.05% corresponding to trace amounts of residual water and analytical traces within detection limits.

A higher Mesh number corresponds to smaller mesh openings and, therefore, smaller particles. Conventional non-micronized creatine typically has a particle size of 60 to 80 Mesh (mesh opening of 177 to 250 micrometers); standard micronized creatine is produced at 100 Mesh (mesh opening of 149 micrometers); and 200 Mesh (mesh opening of 74 micrometers) is the finest particle size currently commercially produced for creatine monohydrate, with particles 2 to 3 times smaller than standard micronized creatine. The functional impact of 200 Mesh micronization is evident in two parameters relevant to the user: water solubility (smaller particles have a larger surface area per unit mass, which speeds up dissolution and reduces the tendency to settle at the bottom of the glass) and gastrointestinal experience (finer particles are more easily emulsified by digestive secretions and tend to cause less gastric discomfort that some users report with coarse-grained creatines, often described as a \"gritty\" feeling in the stomach). It is relevant to note, however, that scientific evidence does not document significant differences in ergogenic efficacy (strength, power, hypertrophy) between micronized and non-micronized creatine: both equally elevate muscle phosphocreatine stores when taken at appropriate doses. The advantage of 200 Mesh is essentially in convenience of use and gastrointestinal tolerance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCreatine monohydrate: the unaltered scientific foundation regardless of particle size:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe ergogenic benefits of creatine monohydrate are independent of the powder's particle size, given that the creatine molecule is chemically identical across all particle sizes. Creatine monohydrate elevates intramuscular phosphocreatine (PCr) stores, the immediate substrate for ATP resynthesis via creatine kinase during short-duration, high-intensity efforts (phosphagen system, predominant in the first 10 to 15 seconds of maximum effort). With higher PCr stores, the muscle can: maintain the maximum rate of ATP resynthesis for longer during sprints and sets of maximum repetitions; complete more repetitions per set before reaching muscular failure; recover more quickly between sets (thanks to more efficient PCr resynthesis between efforts); and accumulate a greater total training volume per session. In the long term, the greater training volume supported by creatine supplementation, combined with direct effects on anabolic signaling (activation of IGF-1 and mTOR, increased expression of myogenic transcription factors), results in greater gains in lean muscle mass and maximum strength compared to training without creatine supplementation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody weight-based dosage: 0.1 g\/kg per day:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eUnlike the standard dose of 3 to 5 g\/day often used as a universal reference, Life Pro adopts an individualized dosing philosophy for this product based on body weight: 0.1 g of creatine per kg of body weight per day. For a 70 kg athlete, the recommended daily dose would be 7 g; for 80 kg, 8 g; for 90 kg, 9 g. This approach reflects the fact that creatine requirements are partially related to the athlete's total muscle mass (which tends to correlate with body weight in active individuals), given that PCr stores are proportional to the volume of available skeletal muscle. In practical terms, this dose is slightly higher than the standard 5 g\/day dose for most adult athletes, approaching the doses used in post-loading maintenance protocols in clinical studies (5 to 10 g\/day depending on body weight).

Creatine monohydrate supplementation increases muscle PCr content by 10 to 40% (depending on the individual's baseline creatine level), increasing the PCr \"battery\" available for ATP resynthesis and delaying the depletion of the phosphagen system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClinical evidence: the sports supplement with the most evidence base in history:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eCreatine monohydrate has an unparalleled evidence base in sports nutrition.

Creatine increases the \u003cstrong\u003eintracellular hydration\u003c\/strong\u003e of muscle fibres: the accumulation of creatine in the muscle increases intracellular osmolality, drawing water into the cells (an increase of 1 to 2 L of intracellular water with loading protocols). This increase in cell volume has direct anabolic properties: hydrated muscle cells have greater protein synthesis and less proteolysis, as cell volume is an anabolic signal recognized by fibroblasts and myocytes. Creatine also has documented effects on \u003cstrong\u003eanabolic signalling\u003c\/strong\u003e: it increases mTORC1 activation (the main regulator of muscle protein synthesis) and the expression of myogenic transcription factors (MyoD, myogenin), supporting muscle mass gain independently of its effect on PCr. On a neurological level, creatine is a critical energy substrate for the brain and neurons (which have a high metabolic rate and depend on brain CK for energy buffering), with clinical trials documenting improved cognitive function (especially in working memory and processing speed tasks) with creatine supplementation, particularly under conditions of metabolic stress (sleep deprivation, vegetarian diets with low creatine intake).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMicronized creatine monohydrate vs. other forms of creatine:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe supplement market offers multiple forms of creatine (Kre-Alkalyn, ethyl ester, HCl, citrate, malate, buffered, among others) that are often marketed as superior to monohydrate based on arguments of better absorption or less water retention.

Its most relevant function for athletic performance is as an \u003cstrong\u003eobligatory substrate of nitric oxide synthase (NOS)\u003c\/strong\u003e — the enzyme that converts L-Arginine + O₂ into L-Citrulline + NO (nitric oxide). The NO produced in the endothelial cells of blood vessels diffuses into the adjacent vascular smooth muscle, where it activates soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) to produce cGMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate), which activates protein kinase G (PKG) and induces vascular smooth muscle relaxation — i.e., vasodilation. This vasodilation increases muscular blood flow, oxygen and nutrient delivery, and produces the characteristic muscle pump sought by strength athletes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe hepatic first-pass limitation of oral arginine and why citrulline is complementary:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAn important technical aspect about oral L-Arginine: \u003cstrong\u003eoral free L-Arginine\u003c\/strong\u003e has intestinal absorption partially limited by hepatic and intestinal first-pass metabolism — arginine is converted to ornithine + urea by hepatic arginase before reaching systemic circulation, reducing plasma bioavailability compared to the ingested dose. This is why \u003cstrong\u003eL-Citrulline\u003c\/strong\u003e (which avoids intestinal and hepatic arginase by being metabolized differently, being converted to arginine in the kidneys) is often more effective than oral arginine in increasing plasma arginine levels. However, the combination of L-Arginine + L-Citrulline is superior to each one alone: citrulline ensures the sustained increase in plasma arginine long-term, and pure arginine ensures a faster onset via immediate NOS saturation.

GH stimulates lipolysis (fat mobilization from adipocytes), muscle protein synthesis, and IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor 1, the central anabolic mediator of GH) synthesis.

In addition to the energetic effect, TheaCrine has documented anti-inflammatory properties that contribute to muscle recovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2g of Beta-Alanine: muscle endurance from the minimum effective dose:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWith \u003cstrong\u003e2g of Beta-Alanine\u003c\/strong\u003e per serving, ABE provides a dose slightly below the documented maximum effective dose (3.2 to 6.4g\/day) but above the minimum effective threshold and within the window that produces measurable results of increased muscle carnosine with consistent daily use.
