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.

As recognized by the EFSA, creatine demonstrably increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-duration, high-intensity exercise, being one of the few supplements with an approved health claim at a European level.

In strength sets, sprints, and explosive exercises, the ATP-phosphocreatine system is the primary energy pathway in the first 10 to 15 seconds of maximum effort. With higher phosphocreatine stores, it is possible to perform more repetitions per set, lift heavier loads, recover faster between sets, and accumulate more total training volume, the main drivers of long-term muscle development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCellular volumization and anabolic environment:\u003c\/strong\u003e In addition to direct energy support, creatine supplementation promotes intracellular water retention in the muscle (cellular volumization), increasing the volume and turgidity of muscle fibers. This volumization effect is not mere subcutaneous water retention — it is an anabolic osmotic signal that stimulates muscle protein synthesis and reduces protein catabolism, creating an intracellular environment favorable to muscle growth.

This mechanism complements the vasodilatory effect of citrulline (via NO), creating a formula with dual action: more NO for O₂ and nutrient delivery (via vasodilation) and more Krebs cycle substrate for ATP production in muscle mitochondria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReduction of muscle fatigue: the role of citrulline in ammonia buffering:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eIn addition to NO, citrulline contributes to the \u003cstrong\u003ereduction of muscle fatigue\u003c\/strong\u003e via a second mechanism linked to the urea cycle: citrulline increases the urea cycle's ability to eliminate ammonia (NH₃) produced by amino acid catabolism during exercise.

In addition to the antiseptic effect, bearberry has a moderate diuretic effect via inhibition of tubular sodium reabsorption and via anti-inflammatory mechanisms that reduce vascular permeability and tissue edema.

The HPG axis (hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal) is regulated by multiple factors: chronic stress (elevated cortisol inhibits the HPG axis), micronutrient deficiency (zinc, magnesium, vitamin D3 are cofactors of steroidogenesis), estrogen levels (which negatively feedback to inhibit the HPG axis), and the availability of precursors (cholesterol, LDL).

Its most relevant functions for athletes include: support for testosterone synthesis (zinc is a cofactor for 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, the final enzyme in testosterone biosynthesis in Leydig cells, and is necessary for maintaining LH receptors in these cells); muscular protein synthesis (zinc is a cofactor for RNA polymerases and zinc finger transcription factors, essential for genetic expression of protein synthesis); immune function (zinc is essential for T-lymphocyte proliferation and NK cell activity); and wound healing (zinc is a cofactor for matrix metalloproteinases that remodel connective tissue during recovery from muscle and tendon injuries). Zinc deficiency in athletes is associated with reduced serum testosterone, increased susceptibility to respiratory infections, delayed wound healing, and reduced strength performance. The clinical trial by Kilic et al.

Bacillus coagulans in the small intestine germinates and produces L(+) lactic acid, contributing to the balance of the intestinal microbiota, the integrity of the intestinal barrier, and the reduction of gastrointestinal inflammation.

Training is the catabolic stimulus that creates muscle damage and activates anabolic signaling pathways, but muscle protein synthesis (MPS) for repair and growth occurs in the hours following training, peaking during slow-wave sleep (SWS). It is during SWS that GH (growth hormone) secretion reaches its daily maximum: ~70 to 80% of total 24-hour GH secretion occurs during the first SWS episode of the night (typically 60 to 90 minutes after falling asleep). GH stimulates the synthesis of IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor 1) and directly stimulates muscle MPS, adipocyte lipolysis, and tissue regeneration. Escape is specifically formulated to: optimize sleep quality and depth (more SWS = more GH), support and amplify GH secretion during sleep (arginine + ornithine), reduce nocturnal cortisol which antagonizes GH (ashwagandha KSM-66), and provide essential micronutrients for hormonal and muscle synthesis overnight (ZMA).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMelatonin 1.9mg: the physiological dose for sleep induction without suppressing endogenous production:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMelatonin\u003c\/strong\u003e (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is the chronobiological hormone produced by the pineal gland in response to decreasing ambient light, which signals to the body that it is night and induces preparation for sleep.

GBB is the \u003cstrong\u003eimmediate metabolic precursor of L-Carnitine\u003c\/strong\u003e in the endogenous biosynthetic pathway: GBB + oxygen + vitamin C → L-Carnitine, catalyzed by γ-butyrobetaine dioxygenase (BBD). Supplementation with GBB provides the immediate substrate for endogenous L-Carnitine synthesis, increasing plasma and muscle levels of L-Carnitine more efficiently than oral L-Carnitine (which has limited intestinal absorption by OCTN2 transporters, which quickly saturate). Greater L-Carnitine availability means greater transport of long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondrial matrix via CPT1\/CPT2, increasing β-oxidation and ATP production from fat. In addition to the carnitine synthesis pathway, GBB has a direct and very marked thermogenic effect: it is the thermogenic with the most documented sweating effect reported by users — GBB activates cutaneous temperature receptors and significantly increases sweating, which is a direct marker of thermogenesis (heat production).

Liqui-Cap technology ensures that this dose of caffeine is absorbed within 10 to 20 minutes of ingestion, producing a very rapid onset of energy and alertness.

NADH transfers high-energy electrons to Complex I of the respiratory chain, triggering a cascade of reactions that results in the synthesis of ATP, the universal energy molecule for all cells. Without sufficient NADH, ATP production is compromised, leading to cellular fatigue, reduced physical and cognitive performance, and energy metabolism disturbances.

By providing L-cysteine in acetylated form (which has much higher oral bioavailability and gastrointestinal stability than free L-cysteine), NAC increases the intracellular availability of cysteine and, consequently, the rate of endogenous glutathione synthesis in all cells of the body.

They are \"essential\" because the human body cannot synthesize them and must obtain them through diet or supplementation. The 2:1:1 ratio (2 parts Leucine to 1 part Isoleucine and 1 part Valine) is the ratio that most closely approximates the natural concentration of these amino acids in human muscle protein and is the most widely used in scientific studies on BCAAs, also being the natural proportion in which they are found in major high-quality protein sources (whey, casein, egg). HSN's BCAAs are obtained exclusively by microbial fermentation from plant sources, unlike many brands that still use extraction processes from poultry feathers, human hair, or other animal by-products, making EVO 2:1:1 completely suitable for vegan and vegetarian diets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eL-Leucine as the main activator of muscle protein synthesis via mTORC1:\u003c\/strong\u003e L-Leucine is the amino acid with the greatest and most direct ability to activate the mTORC1 pathway (mechanistic Target Of Rapamycin Complex 1), the main intracellular regulator of muscle protein synthesis. mTORC1 signaling by L-Leucine is the central molecular mechanism by which protein or BCAA consumption stimulates muscle protein synthesis, regardless of other anabolic signals such as insulin or growth factors. The double dose of L-Leucine in the 2:1:1 ratio (compared to L-Isoleucine and L-Valine) reflects the primary role of this amino acid in stimulating protein synthesis and is the reason why the 2:1:1 ratio is the most used in a sports context for this purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eL-Isoleucine for energy metabolism and muscle glucose uptake:\u003c\/strong\u003e L-Isoleucine has functional properties distinct from those of L-Leucine: in addition to its role in protein synthesis, L-Isoleucine stimulates glucose uptake by skeletal muscle through an insulin-independent mechanism (involving the translocation of GLUT4 transporters to the cell membrane), contributing to the supply of energy substrate during high-intensity exercise.

It exists in several varieties distinguishable by root color: yellow (the most common, about 60% of total production), red\/purple, and black (the rarest, representing less than 10% of total production). The black color of the root reflects a higher concentration of glucosinolates, phenolic compounds, macaene alkaloids, and benzylglucosinolates compared to the other varieties, which is associated with a more potent phytochemical profile and more marked functional properties in certain areas, namely supporting physical performance, male fertility, and bone health.

The relevance of this combination lies in the intestinal transporters: glucose (dextrose and glucose from maltodextrin) is absorbed by the SGLT1 transporter (sodium-glucose cotransporter), which has a maximum absorption capacity of approximately 60 g\/hour. Fructose is absorbed by the GLUT5 transporter, which works independently and in parallel with SGLT1. The combination of glucose and fructose sources allows for exceeding the 60 g\/hour absorption limit and achieving intestinal carbohydrate absorption rates of 90 to 120 g\/hour during high-intensity or long-duration exercise sessions, with a direct impact on performance maintenance and glycogen replenishment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCertified osmolality of 200 to 330 mOsm\/kg: a true isotonic drink, not just declared:\u003c\/strong\u003e The distinction between an isotonic drink and a hypotonic or hypertonic drink is the osmolality of the final prepared solution.

It is synthesized on demand by body cells in response to injury, inflammation, and cellular stress stimuli, functioning as an endogenous lipid modulator of the immune and nervous systems. PEA acts primarily as an agonist of PPAR-α (Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor alpha) receptors, which are nuclear transcription factors with a central role in modulating the expression of pro-inflammatory genes, and as a modulator of mast cells and microglia (the immune cells of the central nervous system), reducing the release of pro-inflammatory and pro-nociceptive mediators that amplify pain and chronic inflammation. This mechanism of action through PPAR-α distinguishes PEA from conventional NSAIDs (which inhibit COX-1 and COX-2) and cannabinoids (which act on CB1 and CB2 receptors), giving it an exceptional safety and tolerability profile without the gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, or psychoactive side effects associated with these other approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUltramicronization for maximum bioavailability: particle size of 0.8 to 6 µm:\u003c\/strong\u003e PEA is a lipid molecule with a high octanol\/water partition coefficient (high logP) and low aqueous solubility, which results in very variable and limited gastrointestinal absorption when administered in conventional crystalline form.

This rapid peak-and-drop profile is suitable for short-term occasional use (1-2 hour workout, pre-workout), but has disadvantages for long-term use: the high peak often causes tremors, palpitations, and anxiety (especially in caffeine-sensitive individuals), and the abrupt drop in plasma concentrations 3 to 5 hours after intake is perceived as a \"caffeine crash\", with sudden fatigue and lack of concentration. CaffXtend® completely alters this profile through its granulation technology: caffeine is absorbed slowly over more than 12 hours, without a high peak and without an abrupt drop, resulting in a smoother, more sustained effect without the typical crash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirect clinical comparison: CaffXtend® vs immediate-release caffeine:\u003c\/strong\u003e The study by Thanawala et al.

The main mechanism of action of berberine is the activation of the enzyme AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase), often referred to as the \"master switch of cellular metabolism\". AMPK is an energy sensor that, when activated, promotes glucose uptake by cells (via GLUT4 transporter translocation to the plasma membrane), inhibits hepatic glucose synthesis (gluconeogenesis) and hepatic synthesis of cholesterol and triglycerides, and stimulates fatty acid oxidation. This AMPK activation mechanism is the same mechanism of action as metformin, the most widely prescribed oral antidiabetic drug worldwide, although berberine acts at distinct molecular sites. A clinical trial published in Metabolism (Yin et al., 2008) with 116 patients with type 2 diabetes documented that berberine (500 mg 3x\/day) was as effective as metformin in reducing glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting and postprandial glucose, over 3 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupport for blood glucose control: acting on multiple simultaneous pathways:\u003c\/strong\u003e Berberine exerts effects on glucose metabolism through multiple simultaneous and complementary mechanisms, making it more robust than compounds with a single mechanism.

HSN's declaration is verified by independent ENAC\/DANAK certified laboratory analysis, ensuring that the declared protein content matches the actual product content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComplete amino acid profile, with all essential and relevant BCAAs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pea protein has an amino acid profile that includes all 9 essential amino acids (histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, valine) and all conditionally essential amino acids. The amino acids most relevant for muscle synthesis are present in significant amounts: Leucine (the most important amino acid for activating the mTOR pathway for muscle protein synthesis) is present in ~7% of the amino acid profile, Lysine (~6%), Arginine (~7%), and total BCAAs account for ~17-18% of the profile. The only limiting amino acid in pea protein compared to whey is Methionine (present in lower concentration), which can be supplemented by combining it with Brown Rice (concentrated brown rice protein), whose profile precisely complements pea's relative methionine deficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBabault et al. (2015) study: pea protein comparable to whey for muscle hypertrophy:\u003c\/strong\u003e The randomized double-blind clinical trial by Babault et al. (2015), published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, is the reference study for pea protein. With 161 young men undergoing resistance training for 12 weeks, the study documented that supplementation with pea protein (25g\/day) produced biceps thickness gains (assessed by ultrasound) statistically comparable to the whey group and significantly superior to placebo, establishing that isolated pea protein is a high-quality plant protein source for supporting muscle hypertrophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100% plant-based: lactose-free, gluten-free, soy-free, GMO-free:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pea protein is one of the most suitable plant proteins for people with multiple food intolerances. Unlike soy protein (which can be allergenic and is often GMO), wheat protein (with gluten), and dairy proteins (with lactose and casein), pea protein is free from all these common allergens. It is naturally lactose-free and gluten-free, and HSN's raw material is produced without the use of genetically modified organisms. This combination makes it the protein of choice for vegans, vegetarians, lactose-intolerant individuals, coeliacs, and people with cow's milk protein allergy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh digestibility and superior gastrointestinal tolerance to whole legume proteins:\u003c\/strong\u003e The digestibility of isolated pea protein is much higher than that of whole peas, given that the isolation process removes most of the fiber and antinutrients (phytates, protease inhibitors, lectins, saponins) present in the whole legume that reduce digestibility and cause gastrointestinal discomfort. The PDCAAS (Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score) of isolated pea protein is close to 0.89 to 0.98 (0 to 1 scale), comparable to whole egg (1.0) and superior to isolated soy (0.92 to 0.99), making it one of the most digestible and biologically valuable plant proteins available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCulinary versatility: use in shakes, but also in recipes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Isolated pea protein has rheological properties (texture, behavior in water) that make it more versatile than whey for culinary use. It has good heat stability (it does not denature as easily as whey), which allows it to be incorporated into baking recipes (bread, pizza dough, pancakes, muffins, crepes) without significant loss of nutritional value. The Natural (unflavored) version is especially suitable for culinary use as it does not add unwanted flavors to preparations.\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\u003eRecommended dose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mix 1 scoop of 70 ml (approximately 30 g) in 150-250 ml of water, skimmed milk, or plant-based drink.
