3-AD: Revamped, Reloaded, Released!
An Interview with Matt Cahill
In this issue of our Industry Spotlight Interview, we are honored to have the opportunity to speak with industry guru, Matt Cahill, CEO and founder of Designer Supplements. Matt Cahill is renowned for his innovation and unique design of cutting edge supplements based on science, not marketing hype. Many are aware of Designer Supplements’ cutting edge compounds such as Superdrol, Lean Xtreme, and ActivaTe (just to name a few). In this sit down interview, we will be discussing in detail the revolutionary new product, 3-AD by Anabolic Xtreme; another innovative formula uniquely designed by Cahill himself to further push the envelope in achieving breakthrough results in physiological metamorphosis!

NP: Matt, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to sit down with us today. We are excited to discuss with you the long awaited release of 3-AD. Many of us are aware of the compound Adrenosterone, but 3-AD contains Androsterone. For those who are not familiar with Androsterone, can you give us some information about this compound?

MC: I’d just like to say thank you for having me, it is my pleasure to be talking with you. Androsterone is a pro-hormone which converts to the powerful hormone Stanolone through the 3aHSD, 3bHSD, and 17bHSD enzymes. Stanolone is 400% more anabolic then Testoterone which is considered the King of Mass. Most companies would stop there but not AX. They wanted a complete formula that blows away everything else out there which is why I added 11-alpha and 2-androstenol acetate. Both of which dramatically increase nitrogen retention which promotes anabolism and intense pumps.

NP: Androsterone sounds like an extremely potent hormone as a standalone. How did you raise the bar with 3-AD, and can you explain why you included some of the other ingredients in your formulation?

MC: The bigger picture. Androsterone is a good compound but the entire 3-AD formula combines to provide the best legal anabolic available. 3-AD also addresses the shortcomings of all other products in this category, the androgen receptor. The more androgen receptors you have the better the anabolic effect will be. PLCAR increases the amount of androgen receptors, which is why it’s included in 3-AD.

NP: We noticed one of the ingredients in 3-AD is considered a “pheromone”. Can you further explain to our readers the actions and roles of pheromones and how it relates to muscle? Obviously we’re not talking about a “sex in a bottle” scent that will have women fighting over you (sorry guys).

MC: Of course not, and don’t be fooled into thinking that pheromones are exclusive to sexual attraction – some creatures use them to let others know where food is, where home is, whether a predator is coming and quite a few more. The sexual pheromones are typically released in relation to a female’s monthly cycle (i.e. if she’s ripe for breeding), and from men in order to persuade the female that they’re worthy enough of procreating with. With these being tied tightly to the reproductive system and sexual characteristics, it is no surprise that the structure of pheromones typically reflect that of androgens. The only real requirement from that is, and which is applicable in the case of 2-androstenol, to ensure it’s orally bioavailable, and that’s been accomplished with the acetate ester.

NP: Wow, this truly sounds like a potent lineup of formidable ingredients! So are there any side effects associated with 3-AD such as hepatoxicity, hypertension, adverse estrogenic effects, etc…?

MC: There is no risk of hepatoxicity because neither androsterone nor 2-androstenol are methylated. Hypertension shouldn’t be a cause for concern, although hormonals in general can increase red blood cell count or lead to slight water retention. Neither compound aromatizes, so there is no direct conversion to estrogen and therefore no anticipation of estrogenic-related side effects. I have however, seen some compounds that alter mineral levels which can cause slight water retention. The obvious side effects are all possible though, which is to be expected – acne, slight aggression and maybe mild shedding, suppression of natural testosterone production. Each user is different, but these are all possible. Some steroid users use Finasteride to overcome the shedding issues, but in this case 5AR inhibitors will not have any effect on either compound as they are already 5-alpha reduced.

NP: Is post cycle therapy (PCT) required for 3-AD?

MC: Absolutely. 3-AD is hormonal so I highly recommend everyone that uses it has adequate post-cycle therapy on hand from the get-go. I used and would recommend AX’s Advanced PCT, along with Activate Xtreme.

NP: How should one cycle 3-AD for optimal results?

MC: The dosing listed on the bottle is what will work best. Some users depending on bodyweight (220+lbs) may need a slightly higher dose but no one should assume they need it. Users should start at 2 caps twice a day for at least 7 days before increasing the dose to 2 caps- 3 times per day.

NP: How would you cycle 3-AD for maximum growth with minimal side effects?

MC: I think beginners should follow the dosing I’ve recommended until they know how they will respond to 3-AD. For experienced users I’ve always preferred high dosing for short periods of time. I feel this best mimics the way people grow, in short bursts. With 3-AD I would expect great results with 6-8 caps per day for no more then 24-28 days, followed by a 3 week PCT off period.

NP: So what’s the overall consensus on this revolutionary product? What types of gains should one expect to see with 3-AD?

MC: The feedback has been unbelievable! We’ve been seeing gains of anything from 3-18lbs over a four week cycle, with the average being around 12lbs. Side effects have been pretty much non-existent. So obviously I’m very excited about 3-AD and can’t wait to see how everyone else responds to it.

NP: So obviously 3-AD is great for packing on slabs of quality muscle, but is it also beneficial for recompositioning?

MC: Of course! The formula combines a very strong anabolic blend that is ideal for preserving muscle mass while trying to reduce fat stores and PLCAR. PLCAR is clinically proven to enhance the shuttling of fatty acids into muscle cellular mitochondria to be burned as a fuel source for greater energy production and is one of the reasons people feel warm when they take 3-AD.

NP: So what’s next on the horizon for you, Matt? Any other new compounds in the works…any sneak peaks for our subscribed readers?

MC: Yes, actually. We’re working on a follow-up to the hugely successful Glucophase XR product, only we’re taking it up a few notches. Of course it will cover insulin control for near-perfect calorie partitioning like its predecessor but finally we will introduce an actual IGF-1 promoting component that I’m sure will catch everyone’s interest…

NP: Sounds Great! We’re looking forward to the release of the new GXR! Matt, it was great talking to you my friend! NutraPlanet wishes both Designer Supplements and Anabolic Xtreme continued growth and success, and we are proud to partner with these great companies!

MC: Thank you for having me, it has been my pleasure.
