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.

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.

The arginine thus produced in the kidneys enters directly into systemic circulation without passing through the liver, resulting in a sustained increase in plasma arginine levels for 4 to 6 hours — much longer than oral arginine (whose plasma peak is rapid but short-lived).

Malate is oxidized to oxaloacetate by mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase (NAD⁺-dependent), producing NADH (for the respiratory chain) and oxaloacetate (which condenses with acetyl-CoA to restart the Krebs cycle). Under conditions of high-intensity exercise where the Krebs cycle can be transiently limited by the availability of intermediates (especially oxaloacetate and fumarate), supplementation with exogenous malate can \"recharge\" the cycle and increase mitochondrial ATP production, reducing fatigue and prolonging the ability to maintain high intensity.

The accumulation of ammonia in muscles and blood during high-intensity exercise contributes to central fatigue (ammonia crosses the blood-brain barrier and interferes with GABAergic and glutamatergic transmission) and muscle discomfort. Citrulline is an intermediate of the urea cycle — its conversion to arginine in the kidneys allows for the regeneration of arginine that arginase uses to produce urea (eliminating ammonia), thus increasing the body's total capacity for ammonia elimination.

The clinical trial by Wilborn et al.

Its active components are \u003cstrong\u003emacamides\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003emacaridine\u003c\/strong\u003e (alkaloids exclusive to maca), \u003cstrong\u003eglucosinolates\u003c\/strong\u003e (benzyl glucosinolate, p-methoxybenzyl glucosinolate), and \u003cstrong\u003eplant sterols\u003c\/strong\u003e (β-sitosterol, campesterol). Maca does not directly affect testosterone levels — its mechanism of action is different: it modulates the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) axis adaptogenically, reducing cortisol and improving resilience to stress, which indirectly favors testosterone production (cortisol competes with testosterone for the common precursor pregnenolone). Clinical trials with maca consistently document improved libido, sexual function, and well-being in men and women, with less evidence of a direct effect on serum testosterone.

The cortisol-testosterone link mechanism is direct: cortisol and testosterone are both produced from \u003cstrong\u003echolesterol\u003c\/strong\u003e via pregnenolone (the common precursor of all sex steroids and cortisol). When the HPA axis is chronically activated (by physical stress from intensive training or psychological stress), pregnenolone is preferentially channeled into cortisol production (by 21-hydroxylase in the adrenal gland) at the expense of testosterone (by 17-hydroxylase\/17,20-lyase in the testes) — a phenomenon known as \"cortisol steal\" or \"pregnenolone steal\". Ashwagandha's reduction of cortisol frees up pregnenolone for testosterone synthesis, increasing testosterone levels. The clinical trial by Wankhede et al. (2015), published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition with 57 men in resistance training, documented that 300mg\/day of KSM-66 Ashwagandha for 8 weeks increased serum testosterone by 15.0% and serum cortisol decreased by 11.0% vs. placebo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOat Extract (Avena sativa) 225mg: avenacoside as a releaser of SHBG-bound testosterone:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOat seed extract\u003c\/strong\u003e is standardized in \u003cstrong\u003eavenacoside\u003c\/strong\u003e (steroidal saponins from oats), which inhibit SHBG similarly to fenugreek but with a slightly different mechanism — avenacosides directly compete with androgens for SHBG binding sites, \"freeing up\" testosterone that was bound and making it biologically active.

In a sports context, subcutaneous water retention masks muscle definition by creating a \"layer\" of water between the skin and muscle, reducing the visibility of muscle separations and vascularity. The herbal diuretics in Stage act through mechanisms distinct from pharmacological diuretics (furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide): instead of inhibiting renal ion transporters with the potential for severe electrolyte imbalance, the phytochemicals in Stage increase glomerular filtration, reduce tubular reabsorption of sodium and water, and have anti-inflammatory effects that reduce capillary permeability, in a more gradual and safer way.

Endogenous testosterone is produced in the Leydig cells of the testes in response to stimulation from LH (luteinizing hormone), which is in turn secreted by the pituitary gland in response to GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone) from the hypothalamus. 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).

In hypothalamic cells, DAA stimulates GnRH release; in the pituitary, it stimulates LH release; in Leydig cells, DAA accumulates and directly stimulates the activity of the StAR protein (Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory protein), which is the limiting protein in the transport of cholesterol into the mitochondria where the steroidogenesis chain begins. The study by Topo et al. (2009), published in Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, documented that supplementation with 3.12 g\/day of DAA for 12 days increased LH levels by 33% and total testosterone by 42% in men with low to moderate baseline testosterone.

In K2 deficiency, MGP remains uncarboxylated (dp-ucMGP, desphospho-uncarboxylated MGP) and is inactive — it does not inhibit arterial calcification. The proportion of dp-ucMGP in the blood is the most sensitive and specific biomarker of vitamin K2 status in vascular tissues, and high levels of dp-ucMGP are associated with greater coronary calcification and higher cardiovascular risk. The Rotterdam study by Geleijnse et al.

Without sufficient vitamin C, collagen synthesis stops — prolyl and lysyl hydroxylases become inactive because vitamin C is needed to re-reduce the catalytic Fe²⁺ ion of these enzymes (oxidised to Fe³⁺ during the reaction) back to the active state. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body (~30% of total protein) and the structural component of tendons, ligaments, cartilage, skin, bone, vascular wall, and cornea — the entire structural integrity of connective tissue depends on continuous collagen synthesis.

Without sufficient choline, the liver cannot efficiently export synthesised triglycerides, accumulating them in the liver tissue itself in a process called hepatic steatosis (fatty liver).

The formula stands out from conventional isolates due to two additional ingredients of high scientific value: DigeZyme® (a complex of 5 digestive enzymes to improve protein digestibility and absorption) and LactoSpore™ (Bacillus coagulans, a probiotic with high thermal and gastrointestinal stability). The combination of CFM® isolate with enzymatic and probiotic digestive support represents one of the most complete profiles available in a premium whey protein supplement. Aspartame-free.

This low-temperature mechanical approach preserves the native structure of proteins and bioactive whey fractions (lactoferrin, immunoglobulins, betalactoglobulin, alphalactalbumin, glycomacropeptides) that are partially denatured by conventional filtration processes using heat or chemical treatments. The result is an isolate with ~84% protein, high bioavailability, a complete essential amino acid profile, and high BCAA content (especially L-Leucine), with superior functional properties to isolates produced by ion exchange or conventional ultrafiltration processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDigeZyme® for optimized digestion and absorption:\u003c\/strong\u003e DigeZyme® is a patented enzyme complex that combines 5 digestive enzymes: alpha-amylase (carbohydrate digestion), protease (protein digestion), lipase (fat digestion), cellulase (cellulose fiber digestion), and lactase (lactose digestion). The inclusion of DigeZyme® in an isolated protein formula is particularly relevant for three reasons: it improves the digestion and absorption of whey proteins, increasing the bioavailability of amino acids; it reduces gastrointestinal discomfort (bloating, gas, heaviness) often associated with high-dose powdered protein consumption; and it makes the product more tolerable for people with lactose sensitivity, given that CFM® isolate already has a very low lactose content and the lactase in DigeZyme® degrades any remaining residue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLactoSpore™ (Bacillus coagulans) for intestinal health and enhanced absorption:\u003c\/strong\u003e LactoSpore™ is a patented form of Bacillus coagulans, a third-generation probiotic that differs from conventional lactobacilli due to its sporogenic form: it produces bacterial spores resistant to heat, humidity, gastric acidity, and solvents, reaching the small intestine in a viable state even after industrial processing, prolonged storage, and passage through the acidic environment of the stomach. 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. In athletes with high protein consumption, the health of the intestinal microbiota is directly relevant to the digestion and absorption of amino acids, making LactoSpore™ a functionally synergistic complement to CFM® protein and DigeZyme®. This is the main differentiator of Black CFM Isolate compared to Amix's IsoPrime CFM®, which contains DigeZyme® but not LactoSpore™.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClean nutritional profile, aspartame-free:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amix's Black Line is characterized by a nutritional profile focused on cleanliness and the absence of controversial additives.
