Hi there, I have just ordered this and I'm wondering I can stack with Grenade?. I know that in theory that they are at different ends of the table but I thought I could gain mass whilst keeping un-lean mass to a minimum.
- A.
Firstly I think you will find that 90% of males all want to build muscle and lose fat. In the first few months of training you may see changes in muscle size and definition but it is not possible to decrease body fat and build muscle at the same time in the long term.
You need to decide which is more important – Losing body fat so you look more defined or gaining muscle.
To gain muscle MASS you need to be eating a high calorie based diet which exceeds your daily intake of calories by around 500 -1000cal per day to start with.
Gaining the extra weight will help you promote muscle growth so much faster than if you kept to a low cal diet.
The idea of bodybuilding is to build yourself up to the size you want to be by consuming high amounts of complex carbs, protein and calories and then dieting down to lose the body fat by following a high protein low carb/fat diet, using fat burners, etc.
Using Grenades along with a high calorie shake is trying to do two opposite things at once. You can use the Grenade before training sessions to increase strength, endurance and fat burning during the workout but you stil have to decide whether you want to gain muscle or lose fat...trying to do both at the same time usually means you fail at both at the same time.

hi i have brought this product one week ago, it says not to take any supplement which contain high doeses of creatine. i have also purchased two tubs of cyto NOX as they were on deal. would it be ok to take this supplement before workouts and the MF anabolic after workout?? thank you
- A.
Yes both products will be fine to use together as the cyto nox is designed as a pre workout product and will only contain a small amount of creatine.
- Q.
Hi,
I have been taking whey but am now looking to loose fat aswell. If I swithch from whey to this will this prevent me from contolling fat as I have heard that the carbs will add fat. I train 4 times a week and am looking to add 2 cardio session also from now.
thx
- A.
Muscle fuel anabolic is more of a mass gaining all-in-one product and will contain 500+ calories in a full serving - mostly carbs.
If your looking for more of a lean gainer then have a look at PHD - Synergy Iso 7 which has all the benefits of an all-in-one but a lot less carbs and calories. For even lower carbs along with strong muscle-building effects, go fo Nitro-Tech.
If you are looking to decrease body fat then try adding in a fat burner to help you burn calories faster. Here are some of our best rated fat burners -
Grenade
Muscletech - Hydroxycut Hardcore
Lipo 6 black
OxyElite pro
- Q.
hi, i'm 18, i bought this product, i workout three times a week for 2 hours, when should i take the servings?
- A.
Take at least 1 full serving daily. On training days, take it immediately after your workout. You can also take a full serving or a 2-scoop serving between meals if you are not making consistent weekly gains in weight.
On non-training days take 1 to 2 servings of either 2 or 3 scoops (depending upon whether you are reaching your weight gain goals). You can take the servings any time - first thing in morning before breakfast, between meals or before bed.
- Q.
i am 15 years old and want to take the product. is this to young, and if so what are the dangers?
- A.
The product advises against using it if you are under 18 and we can't advise you differently.
- Q.
Hey, could anyone please tell me if this product is actually 100% safe to use? i know it contains anabolic ingredients & i am wondering if this could be dangerous to your health and body? is it anything like steroids?
- A.
It contains a herb that can boost testosterone but nothing like to the extend of steroids (your testosterone will still stay in the "normal" range).
We sell thousands of these and haven't heard of any side effects.
- Q.
hi, im planning to buy muscle fuel anabolic, couod i take other supplements with muscle fuel anabolic?, if so, could you tell me what to take with that. thanks....josh
- A.
MF Anabolic has protein, creatine, aminos, and a test-boosting herb. You can add a Pre-workout product for energy and a pump in the gym. V-max Pump, SuperPump and naNO Vapor are good ones...
- Q.
Hi i just wanted to ask if this product is suitable for an 18 year old
- A.
This product is fine for people 18 and older.
- Q.
hi ive been taking this for 3-4 months, have gained but not a great deal. i do have high metobolism. should i keep taking this or should i change to a higher calorie shake like mutant mass?? cheers
- A.
You can switch to Mutant, which does have more calories but you'll have to add a creatine product to each shake (as the Anabolic contains creatine). You can just add a basic powdered creatine which is cheap. Start with 3 scoops twice per day of the Mutant Mass and if you aren't gaining a pound or two a week, then either eat more food or increase to 4 scoops twice daily.
- Q.
is this a product that should be taken immediately after a training session?
- A.
It's great for after training but should be taken twice daily between meals.
- Q.
hi, i am 17 years old, i am currently on a weight gainer and nutrex's niox, however i am interested in buying muscle fuel anabolic, nano vapor and anabolic halo, i was wondering if i could stack all 3 products, and if so what would you reccomend out of halo or cell-tech, i am trying to get bigger. or would mutant mass, cell-tech and nano vapor be better? thanks
- A.
MF Anabolic is an excellent high-calorie All-in-One product. Most people agree that Cell-Tech is unbeatable for quick gains in mass and strength but you'd get at least as good results from taking a full serving of Halo daily (after workouts on training days of course). Vapor is great for jacking up energy levels pre-workout and is designed to stack perfectly with Halo. Make sure to follow the directions on the Vapor (start with one scoop and move up if you need to).
- Q.
hi i wanna put on muscle mass within 3 months, how many times a day can you take the shake? can i have drink it 3 times a day??
- A.
I would take it 3 times per day as a maximum. It's really designed for use twice per day.
- Q.
Is Muscle Fuel Anabolic better than usn hyperbolic mass
- A.
They are quite similar but the Hyperbolic Mass has more calories and has a multivitamin blend added (so great if you don't eat well or eat a lot of fruit and veg).
- Q.
can u take usn tribulis terrestris with usn anbolic
- A.
yes, no problems taking these together.
- Q.
thanks for your response regarding the supplement. There used to be a link on the site for requesting a catalogue but doesnt seem to be there now...is there any way possible to request for it??
- A.
We don't do one any more. The prices are too volatile, as we are constantly ensuring that we have the lowest average prices available online.
- Q.
hi...i have been using usn fast grow mass from SA which contains creatine and im about to start using muscle fuel anabolic, do i have still have to do the loading phase on having 2servings a day for 5days or shud i stay on 1serving a day as part of my mass gain technique
- A.
Not sure what "fast grow mass from SA" is??? But if you go straight from one product to the other and you have already loaded, you don't have to load again (although some studies show that it may be a good idea to re-load creatine-containing products every 8 to 10 weeks or so). As with all gaining phases, if you aren't gaining, adjust your supplement servings or size of serving up and or adjust your food calories up.
- Q.
hi, i have used this afair bit and think its brilliant i would just like to know what the best way to build muscle but stay lean at the same time, im 81kg what would you recomend? thanks
- A.
Building muscle and staying lean is very difficult because you have to eat more calories than you are burning to gain muscle and that means you are going to gain some fat too (unless you just started or re-started traininig or you have very fortunate genetics).
The best lean-gainer supplements are Synergy Iso-7 or for even "leaner" gains (if you have a slower metabolism), Nitro-Tech.
- Q.
Hi, can i combine using Pure protein (USN) with the Muscle Anabolic...also thinking of buying GAKtec, can it be take with muscle anabolic...Thanks
- A.
All three can be used together with no problems.
- Q.
I am taking USN Mass Anabolic, normally 30 min before workout, i am thinking in taking USN Nitrox No2 also, it says 30min before workout, now i cannot combine it togather because of the glutamine...Can i take the USN mass anabolic, say 1 hour before the workout and achieving the same result??
- A.
Yes, 1 hour pre-training is fine (this actually gives you more time to digest it before you hit the gym).
- Q.
would this be better than PVL mutant mass would i gain as muscle??
- A.
Mutant Mass is our best-selling weight gainer by far and when combined with creatine, there is no faster way to gain weight. However, Muscle Fuel Anabolic is our best-selling high-calorie All-in-One and contains creatine, so both of your choices are very good and it is impossible to say which is better.
- Q.
hi guys
this product sounds very promising espesially the 50 grams of protein (the most i've heard of in a product so far) so by that alone i want to buy.
now i've been lifting for 2 and a half years and i now want to be a bodybuilder but i've been all natural for the time i've been training e.g no protein powders or no diets.
now will this product garantee me the size i want because i want to be big all round espesially in my arms and chest. i'm going to start my cardio soon because i want to lose the excess fat.
it also states that i will gain strength i hope this is true because i'm really disapointed in what i can do already.
so to get to the point will i gain size and strength for real
thanks for your time guys
- A.
This is definitely one of the best products for quick gains in size and strength as it has lots of protein, calories and creatine, etc. If you take 2 full servings for 2 weeks and then you can cut it back to one serving on non-training days and 2 servings (one right after training) on workout days, you should see excellent results. When it comes time to dieting, you will be better off switching to a lower carb/calorie product like Synergy Iso-7 or Nitro-Tech, which still contain creatine and other nutrients to support muscle.
- Q.
Hi I just wanted to ask if this product would be suitable for an 18 year old, as this product does have both testosterone and creatine. Could u just clear this up for me?
- A.
This product has creatine and a natural ingredient that is designed to support testosterone levels. The creatine is not a problem for an 18 year old - creatine is now believed by most experts to be totally safe and without negative side effects. The Avena Sativa would not be expected to have any negative effects but at 18, testosterone levels are probably still naturally very high, so the Avena Sativa may only have a mild effect.
- Q.
hi there, can i use luekic hardcore with this product
- A.
Absolutely, M F Anabolic has some added leucine (part of the BCAAs) but research indicates that larger amounts of leucine can have a strong effect on muscle growth mechanisms.
- Q.
In one of your articles (Creatine, Facts and Myths – part 2), you state that “only a few nutrients have been demonstrated to improve the performance of creatine and increase creatine levels in muscle. One is a large amount of carbohydrates”. You go on to say that “the biggest problem with most of the creatine plus carbohydrate formulas on the market is that they don’t contain a high enough dose of carbohydrates. As a matter of fact, many creatine plus carb products may not work any better than regular creatine with water. Studies have even shown that 50 grams of carbohydrates is not sufficient to significantly increase creatine retention, yet most products contain even less than that33...”. With this in mind, I was wondering whether other products that are low to moderate in carbs (e.g. Nitro-Tech, Cyclone and Synergy Iso-7 and As-One 40) are as effective as Anabolic when it comes to creatine absorption, for Anabolic has got more carbs in it. Thanks
- A.
There are 6 main ways to increase creatine retention in the muscle:
take it with at least 75 grams carbs
take it just before a big, high-carb meal
take it with about 50 grams of whey protein and 50 grams of carbs
take it with lipoic acid
Take it with a cinamon extract
take it after exercise
Therefore, Muscle Fuel Anabolic might be most likely to maximize creatine uptake of the products you mention. However, Nitro-Tech contains lipoic acid and other ingredients to increase insulin function (insulin is the hormone that increases creatine retention in the muscle). Nitro-Tech also contains nitric oxide boosters. Nitric oxide has been shown to improve creatine uptake also (and increase measures of muscle growth, strength, blood flow, etc). Unfortunately, the only way to see which does so better would be to do a scientific study comparing them and this has not been done.
Synergy, Cyclone and As-One will still probably cause better creatine retention than taking it with water but for maximum gains, you'd have to add extra carbs. The reason for the moderate carbs in these products is because they are "lean mass gainer" All-in-One Products, whilst MF Anabolic is a "Mass Gainer" All-in-One.
Nitro-Tech is a Whey Protein with added functional ingredients and is designed for people who want more results from their protein.
- Q.
For results which is better the phd synergy or the muscle fuel anabolic? I dont want to put weight on i jsut training now to maintain this size and get cut! Im just on whey phd but i feel this in my diet could be the enxt step for getting the results i want.
- A.
Go with the Synergy, as it is moderate in carbs (the Anabolic is designed for big gains and so has more calories and carbs).
- Q.
Hello,
What do you exactly mean when you say you will gain mass with this product? Does that mean muscle mass or what?
So if I took this would it increase my fat gain aswell????
And how much cardio should I do if I am taking this to stop me from putting on fat?
Thank you
Kevin
- A.
Many people e-mail us and want to gain muscle without gaining fat. This is possible when you just start out training or when you come back from time off the gym and possibly if you have fantastic genetics.
BUT outside of the above scenarios, you are NOT going to gain muscle without gaining some fat!
To make maximum muscle gains, you have to also gain some fat because you have to be eating more calories than you are burning. So you have to decide whether you want to make big, fast gains or moderate, slow gains (or possibly no gains at all) by trying to stay lean while gaining muscle.
If you want fast gains, take the Anabolic twice daily (one serving to be taken after training on training days) and eat lots of food. If you want to make slower gains to minimize the fat gains, either take 2 scoops (instead of 3) twice per day and if you are still gaining weight too quickly, you should consider taking a product like Synergy Iso-7, which has far less carbs and calories but still has all of the other anabolic support ingredients. However, you will still likely gain some fat.
The relative amount of fat and muscle you gain will also depend upon your training intensity and duration and your particular genetics (whether you gain fat easily).
- Q.
Hi,
I was thinking of getting Animal Pak or Stak with this. Would I need to get that in addition? Or does this have all the nessecary multi vitamins in it anyway? I dont want to spend £60 on another product in addition if I dont need it.
- A.
MF Anabolic has a vitamin/mineral blend added to it but it is not a very strong one. So if your diet isn't high in fruits, vegetables, meat and dairy, then you will benefit from the Pak. If your diet is good, go with the Stak.
For the MF Anabolic have 2 servings (2 to 3 scoops), twice daily, with one serving being after training on training days.
- Q.
is there any thing better than this ?
- A.
This is the best All-in-One product for mass and strength gains. If you are watching your calories or gain fat easily, try Nitro-Tech for the leanest gains (this product is a whey protein but it contains creatine and other ingredients to promote muscle gains) because it is lowest in carbs. Cyclone and Synergy Iso-7 have moderate carbs (more than Nitro but less than Anabolic) but Iso has fewer carbs and more protein (and tastes better).
- Q.
im thinking of taking this with anabolic halo. Is this a waste?
- A.
Assuming you are taking them post-workout. Halo will add some ingredients to the Anabolic, as it has a big whack of leucine and other ingredients in it but they both contain creatine so you are probably getting more creatine than required, which would likely end up expelled in your urine. So not a total waste but because Anabolic is a fairly complete fromula, it is difficult to stack. People often use it with a pre-workout formula.
Either way, ensure that you get 2 servings of the Anaboic per day for best results.
- Q.
Have been using this product for 3 weeks and I would say it is okay. I read something about Ultimate Nutrition Iso Mass Xtreme Gainer being the next big thing when it comes to all-in-ones. Any plans to sell Ultimate Nutrition products soon? Thanks
- A.
Ultimate Nutrition is trademarked in Britain by a different company, so legally, they cannot currently be sold in this country although there is some discussion that it will soon be available under a different name.
- Q.
hi, is this product a wieght gainer? or is it a protein powder?
- A.
This product is an All-in-One product. So called because it contains protein, carbs, creatine, test boosters and other anabolic ingredients. However, it also is high in calories so works very well for those trying to gain mass and strength and is excellent as a post-workout shake.
- Q.
Hi, I am am 6ft tall and struggle to stay above 11 stone. Would I be better off with the Muscle fuel mass or the Muscle Fuel Anabolic?
- A.
You would probably get better result from Muscle Fuel Anabolic because it contains creatine, HMB, Added BCAAs and other "add-on" ingredient and it only has slightly fewer calories. Start off with a full 3 scoop serving twice per day in between meals (with one serving after training on training days) and if that doesn't lead to at least 1 kg of gains per week, add in another daily serving of 2 scoops or increase the calories or your meals or add a snack.
- Q.
can you take anabolic halo and mutant mass together?
- A.
Yes, take the Halo right after training and then mutant mass within 1/2 hour later. To maximize your reslults, take creatine monohydrate powder or a creatine tablet (like Creakic or Creadex) in addition to your Mutant Mass and Halo. Start off taking 4 servings of the creatine product per day for the first 5 days and thereafter take 1 to 2 servings per day (2 on training days and 1 on non-training days).
- Q.
can you take mutant mass with anabolic halo?
- A.
Yes, good stack. Take a serving of Mutant Mass just after the Halo immediately after training. A good addition would be a daily creatine product - take creatine monohydrate powder or a creatine tablet (like Creakic or Creadex). Start off taking 4 servings per day for the first 5 days and thereafter take 1 to 2 servings per day (2 on training days and 1 on non-training days).
- Q.
what can you take with anabolic halo?
- A.
You should take protein and creatine as your key supplements or a Weight Gainer product if you want to gain maximum mass.
Take a whey protein shake 2 to 3 times per day with one serving being just before your Halo immediately after training and take creatine monohydrate powder or a creatine tablet (like Creakic or Creadex). Start off taking 4 servings per day for the first 5 days and thereafter take 1 to 2 servings per day (2 on training days and 1 on non-training days).
To gain mass at the fastest rate, you can either do the Nitro/Cell stack (Nitro 3 times per day and Cell-Tech twice on training days and once on non-training days - always take one serving of Nitro immediately, followed by Cell-Tech right after training) OR you can use a weight gainer like Mutant Mass (along with powdered creatine) or Mass-Tech or Muscle Fuel Anabolic (which already contain creatine). If your diet is good (high in calories and protein), go with the Nitro/Cell stack, if your diet isn't so good, go with one of the mass gainers - start off with 2 to 3 scoops twice daily and increase until you are gaining the desired amount of weight per week (1/2 to 2 kilos).
- Q.
Hi. I've just bought this product and note that USN recommends that users take 2-3 servings (i.e. 6-9 scoops for a guy my weight) for the first 5 days. I plan to only take 3-4 scoops for the first 5 days and 2-3 scoops thereafter. Will I still get results/benefits if I do not take the full recommended dose? Also, when would you recommend I take the other one or two servings? At present I'm having one dose post-workout and one first thing in the morning. Many thanks
- A.
The reason for the dosage recommendations is that this product contains creatine, which works better and faster if it is loaded for 5 days. We would suggest taking at least 6 scoops per day for the first 5 days and then you could probably get away with 2-3 scoops thereafter (take a minimum of 2 scoops after exercise). If you take less than this you will likely not get very good results.
- Q.
I am considering purchasing this product, although i am looking to gain mass, I am looking to gain lean mass. Would this product be beneficial in helping me achieving this goal ?
- A.
Yes, you may better off having 2 scoops instead of 3 twice per day, as the way to gain lean mass is just to ensure that you gain it more slowly (of course this means that you will also gain muscle more slowly - you can't gain muscle without gaining some fat also). Aim for gains of about 1/2 kilo per week and if you don't hit this goal, adjust your serving sizes and frequencies accordingly.
- Q.
Might be a silly question, but why do the servings go from 2 a day to 1 a day? Also why can't you take any other creatine based product?
- A.
For Protein, Weight Gainer, All-In-One and Meal Replacement Products, how much you take depends upon how often and how intensely you train, your body size and the amount of protein and calories you eat. If you train often and intensely, you don't eat well and are a large person, you need more than the recommended dosage (if the opposite is true, you need less).
Keeping in mind the above, with this product, we find it works best at 2 scoops (2/3 of a serving) twice per day - with one of the servings taken after training. If this doesn't give you weekly gains of about 1 or 2 kilos, increase one serving to three full scoops and so on to two full servings for maximum gains...
There is no need to take other creatine products with this product because it contains a healthy dose of creatine. The reason it recommends taking more at the outset is because creatine requires a loading dose to have rapid effects. So for more immediate gains, take three 2-scoop servings per day for the first five days.
- Q.
im on animal cut, will this be a good thing to use with it or how about nitro-tech and cell-tech???
- A.
Nitro-Tech is great to take with it (as it also has creatine and other anabolic ingredients beyond just the whey protein) but Cell-Tech may make it difficult to lose fat as it is high in carbs (Although it is probably the best product for fast gains in muscle and strength).
- Q.
Hi there, my name is Gabriel and I just purchased 19 anabol testo by USN and also a muscle anabolic fuel by USN. I want also to buy some No and some good creatine and i was thinking Cell tech but i am not sure about which No to buy. What would you recommend
- A.
Muscle Fuel Anabolic contains creatine and if you are using it at least twice per day (especially after workouts), then using an additional creatine product wouldn't likely have much additional effect.
Go with a NO product like NaNO Vapor or NO Shotgun as a pre-workout stimulant for extra energy in the gym and better muscle pumps.
See the article - http://www.tropicanafitness.com/view/v/article/a/8 - on Nitric Oxide (NO) / Pre-Workout products
- Q.
hi what is better out of the muscle fuel anabolic, synergy or nitro tech with celltech?
- A.
Nitro-Tech plus Cell-Tech is the best stack as far as having research supporting its effectiveness and feedback from our customers.
- Q.
Im interested in taking this. Are there any smaller tubs? Can you take 2 a day and have gains? or do you need to take other creatines to get stronger?
- A.
The smallest tub is 2 kilograms. This is a very popular product so you should be happy with the results.
Using this product twice daily covers most of the bases for muscle growth including creatine.

Ive used this product before and think its great. I want to know how i can use this as a stack and what to stack it with. E.G. 19 anabol testo. i also want o use this with nitric oxide and creatine capsules. Can you recommend me a stack lease. Thank you
- A.
The products you suggest are a good combination. In may last e-mail, I suggested a gainer because you'll never get big without eating lots of calories. As you suggest, no gaining strategy is complete without creatine. In my opinion, the best creatine tablets are Creakic and Creadex but there are other good ones too. For Nitric Oxide products, the best value is Six Star NO Fury but naNO Vaopur is excellent if you want a premium product.
As before, I would recommend reading our articles section because then you'll be able to make the best decisions for yourself in future and design stacks for maximum results.
- Q.
How do you take muscle fuel anabolic and how many shakes can you have throughout the day?
- A.
Muscle Fuel Anabolic is taken by adding 3 rounded scoops to 500-600 ml of cold water and blend or shake in a shaker for 30 seconds.
Take 2 servings for the first 5 days and then 1 per day thereafter (they suggest 2-3 servings per day for the first 5 days and 1-2 servings thereafter for those weighing over 80kgs). USN further recommend not taking other creatine products with Muscle Fuel Anabolic.
