Heres a quick primer on the ingredients in this formula...
Pinus Sylvestris While we often think of plants as containing compounds that can boost our natural testosterone production, PS is extremely unique due to its naturally occurring inclusion of Testosterone, Epitestosterone, and Androstenedione, each bound to a molecule of glucoronic acid. Traditionally, this addition of the glucoronidation would force these compounds to travel through us completely inert due to being degraded in the stomach, however when paired with the Cyclosome Delivery™, science shows us that they can reach the blood stream unaffected.
Epiandrosterone This DHEA metabolite is able to convert to the extremely powerful hormone known as DHT. DHT expressed powerful androgenic capabilities and is known for increasing strength, vascularity, lean body mass gains, as well as body fat reductions due to its anti-estrogenic effects. While this compound is considered a “prohormone” via a direct translation of the term, it stands unique as it provides little to no shut down of endogenous testosterone production. This means that you get the benefits of prohormones, without the necessity for a PCT.
DHEA Acetate/DHEA Two forms of DHEA are included in this formula to provide both an immediate and time release effect for their actions. Supplementing with the exact dosage found in TEST-RX™ has been shown to increase testosterone, free testosterone, and athletic performance in men.
Apium Graveolons This ancient herb has long been used as a cure-all tonic for everything “male” related, and recent studies have proven its efficacy. A study in 2015 shows it capable of increasing libido, but more importantly significant enhancement of spermatogenesis (production of healthy sperm). This inclusion of this compounds completely ameliorates any potential reduction on testosterone and/or sperm production traditionally seen with prohormone or AAS use.
Dioscorea Nipponica Incredibly potent natural extract standardized for 5a-Hydroxy Laxogenin. Discovered in 1996 and shown to have an anabolic/androgenic ratio similar Anavar, but without the side effects of liver toxicity or testing positive for steroidal therapy. Athletes claim to have seen strength increases in 3-5 days. Tests showed that protein synthesis increased by over 200%, the key to lean muscle growth and accelerated repair.).
Andrographis Extract This herb provides what researchers described as “powerful testosterone and sildenafil (Viagra) effects” when studying it. The effects were so pronounced, testosterone levels actually increased by approximately 10 fold, or 1,000%! When tested head to head vs Viagra, srudies show that it increases libido and “mounting frequency” by 850%, as compared to Viagras increase of 600%.
Pedalium Murex This herb contains numerous steroidal agents, and studies show that it is extremely effective at increasing natural testosterone production, as well as greatly increasing sex drive. A recent study showed over a 100% increase in testosterone production, accompanied with a 140% increase in libido. Interestingly enough, this study showed that elevated testosterone levels remained even 15 days post cessation. This means the user can reap the benefits of this powerful herb even after they finish their bottle.
Anacylus Pyrethrum Yet another powerful dual action herb, this one was shown to significantly increase libido while simultaneously increasing body weight gains by 14.2% in studies! The exact mechanism of action for these benefits is not yet understood, but based upon the results of the studies, researchers maintain that the prevailing theory is that of significantly enhanced androgen and testosterone production enhancement.
Molusca Powder Some say nature’s most aphrodisiac food is the oyster, or a “mollusk”. Studies show concentrated oyster/mollusk powder greatly intensifies these results and has been shown to increase testosterone production, sperm production, and even mood enhancing benefits thanks to high levels of naturally occurring dopamine.
Massaluria Acuminata A newer herb on the scene, this has shown to greatly increase teste-body weight ratio(healthier testicles via enhanced spermatogenesis), testicular protein, glycogen, testosterone, luteinizing hormone, and follicle stimulating hormone. Initial tests on mechanism of action show that this herb may in fact have androgenic capabilities, meaning it can interact and activate the body’s androgen receptors, greatly increasing the signals for growth within the body.
Zinc Citrate Zinc has been shown to be absolutely necessary for healthy circulating levels of testosterone within the male body. Science shows us that the lower your levels of zinc, the lower your levels of testosterone. By including 330% of the RDA, you can be positive you’re getting all the zinc you need to support healthy testosterone levels. Zinc however also expresses another beneficial quality for muscle gains in that it acts as an Aromatase Inhibitor, thus lowering unwanted estrogen levels. This action helps it contribute a leaning/drying effect when supplemented in such a high dose.
