“I felt like I was fearless in the gym today, just attacking every weight I got after. I know without a doubt that I left all everything on the gym floor and didn't hold anything back today. It was a solid day for improvement. TEST Powder is really starting to shine for me. I’mreally seeing what it is capable of now. I've had great workouts this week, crushing PR's, amazing recovery and quality sleep. Vascularity is really coming through in my arms, and chest. Big things are happening.”– Montecedillo
“I did legs yesterday and I lifted like ananimal!!! Hard work with a serving of Test Powder baby!!! Strength is a definite plus for the Test Powder.” –MiamiSkyLine
“Felt like going beastmode before, during, and after every set today! Everything felt light and my speed wasawesome on bench!Starting to feel the extra hypertrophy work helping out with my pressing power.” –Kameron Ross
“This was BY FAR one of the best training sessions I've had in recent memory. The energy in the gym was great, and I was stoked to have crushed multiple PRs in one session. The TEST POWDER honed in my focus and gave me the extra little bit I needed for that last little bit of the final reps.” – Fotimatt
“My body is responding to it like Pavlov's dogs to the bell. Every time I touch a weight I go up in poundage!” –Firedawgmedic
"Yesterday broke 2 PR's onchest...Thursday broke 3 PR for shoulders...Everyone's wondering what I'm really on!” –Mario8139
Ingredient Breakdown:
Trimethylglycine
This particular compound has been shown in several studies to possess exercise performance-enhancing effects[SUP]1-4[/SUP]. For example, one study utilizing 12 young male subjects found that trimethylglycine was able to
increase force production and muscular endurance after 2 weeks of supplementation. In addition, area under the curve (AUC) levels for the
anabolic hormones, Growth Hormone (GH) and Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) were also
increased from the 2 weeks of supplementation[SUP]4[/SUP]. Furthermore, the area under the curve values for the catabolic hormone,
cortisol, were
decreased after supplementation with trimethylglycine in these subjects.
In short, there are data demonstrating that
this compound can improve exercise performance and in at least one study, was shown to alter anabolic and catabolic hormones in a fashion that is conducive of muscle growth.
Aframomum Melegueta Extract
This particular plant extract has been traditionally used in western portions of Africa in order to support male function, as well as an aphrodisiac. Yet, only recently has various pharmacological investigations provided scientific evidence to support such a use. The first study in 2002, found that male rats given the plant extract
displayed increased sexual arousal and activity[SUP]5[/SUP].
More recently, in 2011, a study found that using an in vitro yeast cell-based bioassay, the extract from this plant
possessed strong anti-estrogenic properties[SUP]6[/SUP].
Finally and most recently, in 2012, a paper was published where the extract was again administered to rats and testosterone and body weight were recorded. It was shown that the extract increased body weight gain greater than that seen in the control group, while also
increasing testosterone levels in serum by more than 300% compared to the control group[SUP]7[/SUP].
Garcinia Mangostana Fruit Peel Extract
This particular herb features a compound called gamma-mangostin. This compound has demonstrated estrogen synthase inhibitor activity[SUP] 8[/SUP].
D-Aspartic Acid (3120 mg)
In a study consisting of 23 men being given 3.12 grams per day (20 men were given placebo) over a 12 day period, it was found that
87% of those taking the D-aspartic acid experienced an increase of LH and testosterone; the average increase in LH and testosterone was 33.3% and 42%, respectively, compared to baseline[SUP]9[/SUP].
Prior studies in rats have also shown that d-aspartic acid can increase LH and testosterone levels.
In addition, it has also been shown to increase GH levels in rats as well[SUP]10[/SUP]. There is even some evidence that it may increase nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and thus increase NO production[SUP]11[/SUP].
Agmatine Sulfate (1000 mg)
This particular compound has been shown in animals to potentially increase LH-RH and LH which in turn, could hypothetically increase testosterone levels[SUP]12[/SUP]. In addition, it has also shown an ability to increase NOS activity in vitro and thus again, could hypothetically result in an increase in NO production[SUP]13[/SUP].
Quality Agmatine Sulfate is
very expensive and difficult to source...
Test Powder contains 1000 mg of Agmatine Sulfate per serving, more than any other product on the market that we are aware of.
Mucuna Pruriens Extract
Mucuna pruriens seed powder was administered to infertile but otherwise healthy men for a period of 3 months. It was shown that compared to baseline, the men taking the mucuna pruriens experienced a statistically
significant increase in serum testosterone while also experiencing a concurrent decrease in prolactin[SUP]14[/SUP].
L-Carnitine Tartrate
This particular compound has been shown to
increase the expression of the androgen receptor (AR) in skeletal muscle[SUP]15[/SUP]...
The more androgen receptors you have, the more testosterone that can bind to them on your muscle cells and that could potentially result in greater androgenic effects, especially as it relates to muscle gains and strength...
What’s the point of having all that extra testosterone floating around if you don’t have the androgen receptors around for it to dock to?
Think of it is this way. The androgen receptors are like the locks to a thousand mansions filled with whatever your heart desires. But, you still need the keys (testosterone) to get in. Without the lock (AR) and the key (testosterone), you’re not getting anywhere...
How Do I Take It?
Simple. Two scoops (10 grams) once a day with food. Use 6 days per week and take one day off per week, preferably a non-lifting day… The taste is amazing and it’s a joy to drink…
WARNING: We are serious when we say take with food. It’s simply too stacked to take on an empty stomach for most. After you eat, enjoy your Test Powder. Using a 500 mg capsule as an example, Test Powder is so stuffed with ingredients it’s the equivalent of taking 20 capsules…this stuff is loaded!
