How would you describe its primary purpose as a supplement?

Its primary purpose is to amplify the localized (tissue) response to training. It is generally taken to increase muscle mass, strength, and improve body composition (fat vs. lean mass).

What do you beleive the most effect consumption level is and why?

It works well in low doses, but the strongest anabolic effect seems to hit at about 750mg to 1gram per day..

What gains/sides were seen at the effective level, and and lower/higher levels?

At the peak level we generally see 1-2 pounds of lean mass gained per week.. 7-15 pounds per 50 day cycle.. 10 pounds give or take is very common provided everything else is in order. Sides at this dose are generally soreness (DOMS), oily skin (it slightly increases androgen sensitivity), and occasionally difficulty sleeping..

It works well at lower doses (250mg per day for example), but this is "supportive" range. You should notice few side effects, but gains will be slow, but progress should be steady.. This level is more "long term" use as opposed to short-term "rapid-anabolic" use.

We don't advise higher dose use, but safety studies showing no ill effects have gone up to 1.7grams per day.. People sometimes take 1,250 mg per day with no greater incidence of side effects.

Is this supplement something you take yourself?

Yes, but I am asthmatic and suffer from an inflammatory condition. I use it but need to be careful not to overuse it. I haven't had any problems with AA though..

How long would this supplement be used for?

I recommend 50 day cycles.. Maybe 8 weeks at most for high dose use.

What other supplements would aid/hinder the gains made with this supplement?

It is very versatile, as it amplifies the core physiological response to training. Many other supplements (NO, Creatine, test boosters, etc) feed off of this downstream..

It should not be taken with white willow bark, or any VERY potent cox inhibitor.

There was a statement made earlier about AA kills rabbits within 3 minutes of an injection. Is this true? If so why does this occur? What would happen if this supplement were to be injected in humans? Is this supplement only designed to be taken orally?

I don't know if it is true. I've never injected a human or rabbit with AA. I do know it is regarded as safe (see above, GRAS, safety data etc.), and have no concerns that it will harm any healthy individual that takes it. We only sell it for oral use. Note that AA is also commonly added to baby food.

Am I right in thinking that Aspirin stops the function of AA?

yes

Is there any truth in the fact that 12 Jumbo Egg Yolks contain the daily requirement for AA?

Yeah, I think it is about 13 regular whole white eggs. Not that this is actually the same thing - but does contain the stated amount of AA.
