Overview
Here’s what Scitec have to say:

MASTODON delivers Phosphatidic Acid (PA) in a scientifically studied effective
dose!
Phosphatidic Acid is a phospholipid, which is a major structural component of all biological membrane systems. It’s not only a constituent of all cell membranes, it also acts as an intracellular messenger that regulates signalling proteins. Signalling by the mechanism known as mTOR has been reported to be necessary for mechanical load (resistance training) induced growth of skeletal muscle and consequent strength gains. Several studies indicate that the lipid messenger Phosphatidic Acid plays a critical role in the mechanical activation of mTOR signaling.

Phosphatidic acid has been reported to
activate the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway and is
thought to enhance the anabolic effects of resistance training. This has been
backed up by several studies with some subjects. Subjects ingesting PA
demonstrated a 12.7% increase in squat strength and a 2.6% increase in LBM,
while subjects consuming PL showed a 9.3% improvement in squat strength and a
0.1% change in LBM. A daily 750 mg PA ingestion, combined with a 4-day per week
resistance training program for 8-weeks appears to have a likely benefit on
strength improvement, and a very likely benefit on lean tissue accruement in
young, resistance trained individuals.

Results
Mastodon isn’t a T-Booster as such but it
is a similar style of product and you would be wanting similar results.
Strength increases were much more prevalent for me than actual visible gains in
muscle. However as we all know if you get stronger eventually you have to get
bigger. I have never used a pure Phosphatidic Acid product before so I was
unsure what to expect however I can say hand on my heart that this is pretty
awesome.
To be honest 3 tablets a day to get
stronger week in week out (and still call myself natural) is something that I
can get onboard with. I am very interested in trying this over a longer period
of time to see if the strength gains are just an initial boost or if they will keep
coming. At just under £50 it is quite expensive but I have seen it as low as £30 so it pays to shop around a little bit, I think £50 is too pricey for the
product but if you can find it cheaper it is a very easy and effective way of
increasing your strength quite quickly. 8.5/10
