Q: A buddy of mine said he’s taking a Xyience product??? I’ve never heard of it, but he swears the 25 pounds he just put this past month are due to that. In fact, I gotta say, he’s blown up! He said it’s the next ‘thing’. Is it a type of supplement, a company or what?

A: It’s a company, and they did a play on XY and Science and came up with xyience. Xtest or Xmgf are their products that your friend likely took, since the others are fat burners. They also cost as much as a real cycle, so why take ‘em? They are “giving 3 bottles away” for the cost of shipping and handling. So it may be worth a try. But, they are not steroids in a bottle, and are asking for “affiliates” – meaning it’s a multi-level marketing deal. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a MLM scheme in the bodybuilding world, but it’s an interesting concept. I just don’t know what guys would get on the phone and sell – most would deplete their stash first. Just keep in mind that no one gains 25 pounds from one supplement over the course of a few weeks. It sounds like he’s taken a little d-bol in the mix too.
