| Question 3: My aim is to loose weight and gain lean muscle mass. I intended to take L-Glutamine and I am thinking of also taking HMB. Is this a good combination? I do 30min Cardio and 90min weights 3 times a week? |
(Posted: 4th April, 2007) |
| Answer: These products will protect your muscles during intense training. You require more protein to build muscle. I would suggest using Horleys Ice Whey or Musashi Kuan. |

| Question 4: I am a female looking to gain lean muscle and definition. i train 4 to 5 times a week 45min weights 20min cardio each day. is hmb and L-glutamine a good mix? |
(Posted: 3rd May, 2007) |
Answer: Both very Anti-Catabolic products. When using Glutamine consume at least 8g at a time so the gut lining doesnt use it all.
Combined with a good protein intake these two products will aid in putting on more lean muscle mass. Use HMB around intence training periods and first thing in the morning for best results. |

| Question 5: Would this be beneficial for an endurance cyclist? is it better or should it be taken in conjuction with musashi muscle recovery and glutamine? |
(Posted: 7th August, 2007) |
| Answer: Yes it could be taken with the muscle recovery - but maybe look at Musashi creatine recovery stack which contains HMB already, and glutamine and BCAA's. |

| Question 6: Hi - I am a female looking to make good muscle gains and not so much fat. my only real supplement use consistently has been protein powder and l-glutamine. I would like to try HMB with Creatine (creakie specifically as i like the idea of tab form and no loading)> is this a good mix pre or post workout? |
(Posted: 3rd Nov, 2007) |
| Answer: Yes, there is research that show HMB and creatine have a beneficial relationship when used together,; that they are synergistic when combined. I would take both pre and post and perhaps even first thing in the morning. |

Question 7: Hi
I have just starting taking Creakic Tablets ( 6 tabs daily in 2 serves). I know it is suggested to take creatine in 4 week cycles (four weeks on four weeks off). But do you need to also take HMB in cycles or have time off from it in terms of tolerance and effectiveness? |
(Posted: 6th Dec, 2007) |
| Answer: I have not read of any instances where you need to cycle HMB. It is a substrate of the amino acid leucine. The body does not produce HMB and therefore it can be used safely and effectively without cycling. |

| Question 8: Hello TSD, I am currently using Body Blast by Body Ripped, I have tribulus (Musashi) in the morning and take ZMA (Musashi) at night, would HMB (Musashi) be okay to take before and after workout as well as what I am already consuming? Thanks for your answer? |
(Posted: 9th May, 2008) |
| Answer: Yes, this sounds like a really well thought out stack. I would continue to use your stack as you have suggested here. |

| Question 9: Hi I am looking for a 'cheap' product..not particularly nasty just to give me a bit of an edge. I am currently on Optimum protein and Creabolan. But I cant decide between ZMA, Tribulus, or HMB...could you outline the basics of these three and which would suit me more for muscle gain/recovery? |
(Posted: 13th June, 2008) |
Answer: Hi
HMB= derivative of the amino acid L-Leucine, HMB is considered an anti-catabolic agent, effectively preventing muscle tissue breakdown. Used during times of peak performance, it may assist the body's ability to recover more quickly and more efficiently.
TRIBULUS= Tribulus Terrestris has a general stimulating effect and may increase muscle tone and stamina.
ZMA=A dietary supplement, ZMA + is designed to increase strength and power in athletes and combines Zinc, Magnesium, Vitamin B6 and Manganese in exact proportions. Supplementation with ZMA+ can also assist energy metabolism, prolong the onset of fatigue and improve overall athletic performance
I would recommend a good test booster if you have to pick one of them, but you can combined them all if you like, depending how much you like to spend.
Musashi has smaller containers in this products, that are really good.
Good luck!!! |

| Question 10: Any idea how long before recreate is back in stock? |
(Posted: 22nd Oct, 2009) |
Answer: Hi Adrian,
USP Labs are currently going through the licensing process with all of their products, so we don't have an exact eta sorry. Hopefully it will be within the next two months but we can't say for sure.
If you are looking for another thermogenic, our most popular sellers are Thermalene Extreme by Syn-Tec, PyrogenX by Horleys or Hydroxycut Hardcore.
Thanks |

| Question 11: Can hydroxycut max be used with fat stop capsules? |
(Posted: 28th Oct, 2009) |
Answer: HI - it can but you are probably just wasting your money as they are both designed to do the same thing. Which in turn doesnt mean you will those "more". If you are wanting to lose body fat and already have the fat stop we would recommend stacking the D-toxilean or Acetyl L-carnitine as thats what we all do here for a great fat loss combo.
Hope this helps... |

| Question 12: Can A-bomb,T-bomb,Leukic,Gakic, Hydrocycut be taken all together? |
(Posted: 2nd Dec, 2009) |
| Answer: Hi. It is fine for these products to be taken together. A-Bomb and Leukic are both Anabolic activators. So I wouldn’t double up on this supplement. It would be fine to take T-Bomb, A-Bomb, Gakic and Hydroxycut together. Hydroxycut is a thermogenic, so as long as your water intake is kept up it should be fine. |
