After completing a cycle, allow an appropriate recovery period before beginning another cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. 3-EPI-Andro can be incorporated into a broader supplement program and may be used alongside compatible performance and recovery products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlcohol consumption is not recommended during a cycle, as it may negatively affect recovery, training performance, and overall results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you miss a serving, do not double your next dose. Simply continue with your normal schedule at the next planned serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost users choose either a 4-week or 8-week cycle. Post-cycle support should be used after completing the cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake 1 tablet of 1-Andro in the morning on an empty stomach. Ideally, you do not want to eat for 30-60 minutes, but 30 minutes is sufficient. 10-12 hours later, take 1 tablet of 1-Andro on an empty stomach. You are going to repeat this for 4 to 8 weeks, depending on how long you choose to run your cycle. If you are using multiple Andros, simply follow the twice per day dosing schedule, and take your Andros together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou take multiple Andros the same way you take individual Andros. Take 1 tablet of each Andro upon waking up, without food. Ideally, you do not want to consume food for the following 30-60 minutes. 10-12 hours later, take 1 tablet of each Andro without food, ideally waiting 30-60 minutes before consuming food. Repeat this for the length of the cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeither liver support nor on-cycle therapy is required, however, you will need to utilize Alpha-AF for PCT purposes, once you have finished your Andro cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1-Andro - Lean Hard Gains\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4-Andro - Muscle and Strength Gains\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e17a-Andro - Strength and Muscle Composition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e19-Nor-Andro - Power and Competitive Drive\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3-EPI-Andro - Fat Mobilization and Water Depletion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7,3-Andro - Fat Mobilization and Cortisol Management\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe side effects range greatly from person to person. Genetics, lifestyle, eating habits and other variables all contribute to the side effects or lack of side effects users experience. For most, Alpha is perfect for restoring the hormonal balance of the body and ensuring the user keeps the majority of their new muscle gains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo maximize results, we suggest using Rested-AF for higher sleep quality, muscle recovery, and cognitive function day-to-day. We also suggest products such as ADAbolic and ADA-Load for optimized nutrient partitioning, muscle hydration, and caloric efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou have slightly better absorption of the Andros on an empty stomach, but they still are effective even when taken with a small meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou must be at least 18 years old.

We suggest waiting to take Alpha-AF until after you have completed your Andro cycle for PCT purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe do not advise drinking alcohol on Andros, mainly because when we consume alcohol we suppress testosterone and the conversion of the Andros into testosterone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRefer to Dr. Paul Henning's article that takes a deep dive into athletic performance and alcohol\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo not double up, just take 1 Andro when you can, and get back to your initial regimen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can choose between a 4 week cycle, or an 8 week cycle.
