I love it, he says “while a nutritionist may discourage the use of supplemental AA due to its lose association with low-grade cardiovascular inflammation.”
Oh, I guess there acceptable levels of cardiovascular inflammation?
Give me a break, fish oils offer the lower levels of cardiovascular inflammation which helps longevity.
This dude is pushing poison.
No proof that it actually does anything besides cause inflammation. Gotta hand it to him, very cleverly packaged marketing hype.

Spend some money to potentially compromise health, and if a couple of tabs work good, how about a handful?
Typical thinking actually.

I read a while ago that they suggested taking a tab of fish oils with it a day. That really sounds like they are covering their ass on that one.

Dude even says this: “come to appreciate post exercise soreness; it’s a great indicator of muscle growth.”……..Huh? How much? How often?
What a friggen joke.

I will leave you with this Editor’s note: Does arachidonic acid (AA) increase muscle mass?
At this point, we do not know, as there have been no long term studies conducted in reference to this.
Studies to date show AA may increase peak power without significantly affecting body composition, performance are markers for muscle hypertrophy.

Funny thing, they admit that there is no evidence, but there is plenty of evidence that AA increases inflammation and guys seriously this is one thing us weight lifters need to avoid.
Sure anti-inflammatory products do hinder muscle growth, but suggesting that you have more inflammation is better for muscle growth is very reaching.

Many if not most people have problems with excess inflammation and insulin.
Also there is only evidence that endurance athletes have low levels of AA and they didn’t even suggest how long this is for.
Nothing on resistance training, but they infer otherwise, which is a form of deception.
