On your journey to sculpt the ultimate physique, you have a lot of different options to assist you with the process. On one end of the spectrum you have things that are extremely safe but only mildly effective, such as creatine and protein powder. On the other end of the spectrum you have things that are extremely effective, but there is also a substantial risk for side effects, not to mention legality issues.
Arachidonic acid is somewhere in the middle. Still very safe and obviously legal to purchase, but way more powerful.
What Is Arachidonic acid
Arachidonic acid is a polyunsaturated fat with the chemical structure 20:4(ω-6). Arachidonic acid plays an essential role in the growth and repair of skeletal muscle tissue. It is an essential dietary component in the muscle hypertrophy process.
How Arachidonic acid Works
Whenever you lift weights, the damaged muscle cells signal enzymes to flock towards the damaged tissue to free arachidonic acid from the intercellular membranes. The freed arachidonic acid is used to create localized enzymes called prostaglandins. Prostaglandins regulate in the inflammation processes that stimulates the growth of skeletal muscle cells. These are the same enzymes that cause the inflammation and pain you feel post-training.
Post Workout Pain? Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness?
I know what you’re thinking. At first, this might all sound negative, but prostaglandins are the inflammatory mediators that signal the building response in muscle tissue. Additionally, they play a critical role in increasing the number of nuclei in our muscle cells, ultimately boosting exercise endurance and performance.
The Benefits of Arachidonic Acid Supplementation
Under normal conditions, weight training quickly depletes the levels of stored arachidonic acid in muscle tissue. Without arachidonic acid, you lose the short-term inflammation essential for building new muscle tissue. For this reason, many researchers theorize that low arachidonic acid levels are one of the primary factors contributing to the “plateau” effect in resistance training.
You have probably experienced this phenomenon. Remember the first time you ever lifted weights or how you felt after returning to the weights after a long hiatus? You felt extreme soreness and inflammation after those workouts, but as you adapt to the training stimulus, those sensations decrease. Over time, so do your results. Arachidonic acid levels appear to be the central mediator to this process.
Sources of Arachidonic Acid
Small amounts of Arachidonic acid are naturally present in foods. However, the amount is pretty much negligible. For example, A 3-ounce serving of beef roast contains only 0.042 gram of arachidonic acid. One large hard-boiled egg contains 0.074 gram of arachidonic acid. The only good food source of Arachidonic Acid is found in organ meat, particularly the brain and liver.
One capsule of Enhanced Labs Arachidonic Acid contains 350mg of arachidonic acid. You would have to eat 4,730 whole eggs to get the same amount of arachidnic acid!
Arachidonic Acid Dosages
| Body Weight | Less than 150 pounds | 150-200 pounds | 200-250 pounds | Greater then 250 pounds |
| Arachidonic acid dosage | 1,000 mg | 1,500 mg | 2,000 mg | 2,500 mg |
