Dear AM,
Needing a testosterone base for your cycle? Not wanting to break the law or inject testosterone?
Dermacrine is the closest legal thing to testosterone, and is orally active using Liqua-Vade delivery technology. (1)
Of course, Dermacrine won't pack on 25lbs of lean mass like pure injectable testosterone, but it can provide some of the important benefits.
The main ingredient -
DHEA: A natural hormone that converts to androgenic/anabolic hormones.
Although DHEA appears to have limited conversion to actual testosterone, it will readily convert to the hormone androstenedione -- A very similar hormone to testosterone, with potent anabolic and androgenic effects. (1,2,9) Despite its ability to raise estrogen, androstenedione has been shown to significantly increase lean muscle mass and strength in men, while slightly reducing body fat. (2)
The liver also converts DHEA to the hormone 7-oxo DHEA, which is a powerful thermogenic hormone. Human studies have shown 7-oxo DHEA can reduce body fat by several pounds after only 6 weeks. (4-8)
DHEA can also support the immune system, and possibly prevent fatigue and lethargy from other steroid hormones. (10-12)
