Why Phosphatidic Acid?
Phosphatidic Acid is believed to magnify the anabolic effects of resistance training. In that regard, it’s no different than anabolic steroids. Unlike AAS though, it’s widely available, cost-effective and actually quite healthy for you. Even better, there is real scientific data supporting the ability of phosphatidic acid to increase both lean body mass and strength.
Human Research
You’ll find a great many supplements that show dazzling effects in small, furry animals. You’ll also find human studies done on injected amino acids showing glowing effects on Growth Hormone, among other physiological markers.
But human research done on orally dosed supplements?
These are few and far between. Not so, for Phosphatidic Acid. Multiple studies now show muscle gain, strength increases, and fat loss. Let’s take a look..
To test if it actually works one recent study gave participants either 750mg/day of PA or a placebo for eight weeks. All subjects trained and they examined outcomes such as strength, muscle thickness, and lean body mass gains
Results
Subjects who received PA experienced a 12.7% increase in squat strength and a 2.6% increase in lean body mass vs. only a 9.3% and 0.1% improvement for placebo, respectively.
In another study, eight weeks of PA supplementation added 5lbs of muscle mass vs. a control group’s 2.5lbs. There was also a substantial leg press increase over the control group: PA subjects added 115lbs vs. control’s 70lbs.
And, the PA group lost 2.8lbs of fat, compared to the control group’s 1.1lbs.
Dosing
Simply mix 2 tablespoons of lecithin granules into your drinking water, intra-workout shake or consume as part of a meal. It brings a buttery taste to any mixture, which I find is actually addictive. This dose is best timed to coincide with a workout, given additional protein/food should be ingested shortly after training.
On off days, I just make sure to consume it with my first high protein meal of the day. Whatever your goal is, two tablespoons of lecithin granules add 8g fat, 1g carbs, and 105 calories – which is inconsequential. And with lecithin granules, you get a whopping 1,200mg of PA, plus extra’s NOT found in most PA supplements!!!
The Bottom Line
Here we have a supplement that doubles your rate of muscle gain, makes you stronger, improves fat loss while radically increasing muscle fullness – all without any side effects, for around $10/month.
It’s a no brainer: Phosphatidic Acid should be #1 in your supplement stack.
