Anabolic Innovations' TestoPRO™

In order to bring to the supplement industry a no frills, straight to the point, but effective testosterone booster, Anabolic Innovations presents TestoPRO™.

What is so special about TestoPRO™?

Well for starters, it contains an ingredient that had been clinically proven to raise testosterone, in humans! What is this ingredient you ask? It is nothing else but TestoFen.

Testofen is an extract of fenugreek seed containing the steroidal saponins, sapogenins and furostanol saponins , which are important precursors for the synthesis of a number of sex hormones. This extract has been proven in human studies to raise free testosterone (the biologically active form) by an amazing 98.81 percent. A 100 percent increase compared to that of the placebo group. Just as important, not only does Testofen boost free testosterone, but it also aids in fat loss. Not only did the participants in the study have significantly raised testosterone, they also didn’t gain any weight. I know. You want muscle, right? You will like hearing this. Skin fold thickness was measured at the beginning of the study, as well as the end of the study, at both the triceps and thigh regions. On average, participant’s skin fold thickness was reduced 20.18 percent at the triceps and 14.64 percent at the thigh, while maintaining body weight? What does that mean? Only that while losing a substantial amount of fat in the skin fold thickness, participants gained an equal amount of muscle. So they were losing fat and gaining muscle mass, at the same time! Blood Urea nitrogen levels were significantly reduced after consumption of Testofen. This shows reduction in protein catabolism. This confirms muscle mass build up during the study while skin fold decrease took place. This all sounds well and good, but what about safety of Testofen? All these parameters were normal for all participants; Heart Rate, Blood Glucose Levels, Body Temperature, Blood Pressure, Respiratory Rates, Alkaline Phosphate, Bilirubin [ Total, Direct and Indirect ], Creatinine, Haemoglobin, Haematocrit, MCV, MCHC, RBC Count, WBC Count, Platelets, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Basophils, Eosinophils, and Neutrophils.

What else is beneficial in TestoPRO™?

Thanks for asking. Not only does TestoPRO™ contain one ingredient proven to raise free testosterone, but it contains two. The other one is Divanil, a compound also proven to raise free testosterone by binding to sex-hormone-binding-globulin, or SHBG. SHBG is a glycoprotein that binds to sex hormones, specifically testosterone and estradiol. By using Divanil, a potent inhibitor of SHBG, we are able to dramatically increase the levels of free testosterone in the body. Free testosterone is the only form of testosterone able to enter the cell and cause the positive benefits that testosterone will provide.

I know, you have heard that some testosterone boosters can cause issues with libido, and even raising estrogen, but that will not be the case with TestoPRO™. The two ingredients that raise free testosterone will take care of your libido, perhaps even raising it to higher levels than normal, and we have also included an ingredient to modulate your estrogen levels, it is called Indole-3-Carbinol. Indole-3-Carbinol is a compound found in high concentrations in Brassica family vegetables, including
broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage (sounds like mom was right when she said eat your broccoli, huh?). Indole-3-Carbinol has several effects, ranging from anti-cancer, to anti-oxidant, and finally the reason we included it in our formula – estrogen modulation. The metabolism of estradiol results primarily in either 2-hydroxyestrone or 16a-hydroxyestrone, and to a lesser extent 4-hydroxyestrone. It is known that 16a-hydroxyestrone causes proliferation of some breast tumor cell lines, while the alternative metabolite, 2-hydroxyestrone, demonstrates anti-estrogenic and anti-proliferative activity. Indole-3-Carbinol helps the body to modulate estrogen to degrade into the healthier of the alternatives, as opposed to the other. 2-hydroxyestrone, as you read, has anti-estrogenic properties.

Now, none of these ingredients do much good if they aren’t active in your system long enough to reap the desired effects, so we have included two ingredients that help with increasing the bio-availability and maybe even increasing the amount of time these substances are active in your body. These two ingredients are what known as quercetin, and Bioperine®.

Quercetin is a potent inhibitor of glucorodination and sulfation. Inhibiting these two pathways results in increased bioavailability of the product you are taking. Quercetin also has other benefits, ranging from being an anti-inflammatory agent, antioxidant, as well as a potential preventative aid for cancer, heart disease, or diabetes.

Piperine, in the patented form of BioPerine® enhances the body's natural thermogenic activity-hence the term Thermonutrient®. This enhancement may be explained as a means of increasing the thermal energy sufficient to "power up" the mechanism related to thermogenesis. This in turn results in increased metabolic processes that creates a "demand" for "supply" of a broad range of nutrients that contribute to metabolism, i.e. vitamins, minerals, herbals, amino acids, etc. It is as if BioPerine® activates a metabolic paddle wheel, of sorts, that selectively provides a more efficient mode of nutrient transportation into the blood.

Q. So what exactly is TestoPRO™?
A. TestoPRO™ is the culmination of several ingredients, proven by science to be beneficial in raising testosterone (Testofen™, and Divanil ™), naturally, as well as other ingredients proven by science to promote positive estrogen modulation towards the beneficial metabolites (Indole-3-Carbinol). And finally, two ingredients that have been shown to aid in the absorption and bioavailabity of the package as a whole (Quercetin, Bioperine®).

Q. What is so good about Testofen™?
A. Testofen is an extract of fenugreek seed containing the steroidal saponins, sapogenins and furostanol saponins , which are important precursors for the synthesis of a number of sex hormones. This extract has been proven in human studies to raise free testosterone (the biologically active form) by an amazing 98.81 percent.

Q. What is so good about Divanil™?
A. Divanil ™ is a compound tried, tested and scientifically proven to enhance free testosterone by binding to sex-hormone binding globulin (SHBG). SHBG keeps your testosterone bound, and by adding in Divanil™, much more testosterone is free in your system, and you can reap its positive effects.

Q. TestoPRO™ contains something called Indole-3-Carbinol. What does this do?
A. Indole-3-Carbinol is a compound found in high concentrations in Brassica family vegetables, including broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage (sounds like mom was right when she said eat your broccoli, huh?). Indole-3-Carbinol has several effects, ranging from anti-cancer, to anti-oxidant, and finally the reason we included it in our formula – estrogen modulation. Metabolism of estradiol results primarily in either 2-hydroxyestrone or 16a-hydroxyestrone, and to a lesser extent 4-hydroxyestrone. It is known that 16a-hydroxyestrone causes proliferation of some breast tumor cell lines, while the alternative metabolite, 2-hydroxyestrone, demonstrates anti-estrogenic and anti-proliferative activity. Indole-3-Carbinol helps the body to modulate estrogen to degrade into the healthier of the alternatives, as opposed to the other. 2-hydroxyestrone, as you read, has anti-estrogenic properties.

Q. So how does Bioperine® fit into the formula?
A. Piperine, in the patented form of BioPerine® enhances the body's natural thermogenic activity-hence the term Thermonutrient®.
This enhancement may be explained as a means of increasing the thermal energy sufficient to "power up" the mechanism related to thermogenesis. This in turn results in increased metabolic processes that creates a "demand" for "supply" of a broad range of nutrients that contribute to metabolism, i.e. vitamins, minerals, herbals, amino acids, etc. It is as if BioPerine® activates a metabolic paddle wheel, of sorts, that selectively provides a more efficient mode of nutrient transportation into the blood.

Q. And quercetin?
A. Quercetin has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of glucorodination and sulfation. Inhibiting those two pathways result in increased bioavailability.

Q. Excellent. So what are the dosing recommendations?
A. Two caps per serving, 2 times per day.

Q. Spaced out, or all at once?
A. Space them out. One in the AM, one in the PM.

Q. How long does a bottle last?
A. One month at recommended dosing.

Q. How long can I use it for?
A. We recommend four to eight week cycles.

Q. Will TestoPRO™ lose effectiveness over time?
A. We have no reason to expect so. However, we still recommend no longer than 8 week cycles to keep maximum product efficacy.

Q. Does TestoPRO™ cause HPTA shutdown?
A. No, it is non-hormonal anabolic. It may even aid in HPTA function.

Q. Does it matter if taken with or without food?
A. No.

Q. Will I gain strength?
A. Assuming your diet and training are correct, yes.

Q. Do you think TestoPRO™ would be strong enough to retain muscle while cutting?
A. Study results show significant reduction in skin fold thickness, indicating fat loss, while not losing weight.

Q. Since SHBG binds estrogen as well as androgens, will there be estrogen related issues?
A. That would be very unlikely. That is why we included the aforementioned Indole-3-Carbinol.

Q. Will TestoPRO™ give me acne?
A. It is possible for those who are susceptible. Any effective testosterone booster will result in the increased chance of acne.

Q. I have noticed some cool vascularity using TestoPRO™. What is causing this?
A. That is most likely the positive effects of Divanil™ on nitric oxide synthesis. Just another positive effect.

Q. I have a medical condition. Will TestoPRO™ cause problems with any medication I am taking?
A. Always consult your doctor before using any new products.

For maximum muscle gains and fat loss, we suggest trying our newly developed SWOLE Stack™. Consisting of TestoPRO™, Glycobol™, and STOKED™, resulting in amazing, natural, and sustainable gains.

Anabolic Innovations Presents: Glycobol

Glycobol works, not like typical muscle gainers, but primarily by it’s ability to mimic and boost insulin. On it’s own, insulin is a powerful growth peptide, but it also plays a critical role in the action of androgens. Just like insulin, androgens are another fundamental class of endocrine hormones. Studies show that androgens fail to sustain a positive muscle nitrogen balance in the absence of insulin, emphasizing the critical role of insulin as a potential limiting factor to the anabolic capacity of androgens. Therefore, Glycobol could be combined with any of the commercially available androgens to optimize and exaggerate gains by it’s essential synergistic contribution.


* Promotes muscle mass, strength and endurance.
* Encourages fat loss and prevents fat accumulation.
* Improves recovery time by rapid glycogen resynthesis.
* Provides lasting “pump”, hardness and vascularity.
* Drives amino acid and creatine uptake in muscle.
* Increases muscle protein synthesis and inhibits breakdown.
* Controls blood sugar and maximizes nutrient utilization.
* Potent synergism with endogenous endocrine hormones.
* Strong anti-oxidant protects liver, lipid and cardio health.

Insulin also interacts synergistically with GH, IGF and thyroid hormones to compound growth effects, even when these endocrine co-factors are only present at average physiological levels. Therefore, Glycobol can be used to achieve impressive natural muscle gains and body recomposition as an effective stand-alone agent too.

You asked for something Innovative, now you’ve got it!

Glycobol Blend:

Sodium R-Lipoate (Na-r-ALA)
ALA is naturally produced in the body as a mitochondrial enzyme cofactor. It is important to aerobic metabolism. ALA has been shown to increase cellular uptake of glucose to cell membranes by recruiting the glucose transporter GLUT4. ALA improves skeletal muscle glucose transport, resulting in desirable blood glucose disposal and increased muscle glycogen concentrations. (1) Studies also indicate that in muscle, ALA is a potent anti-oxidant which protects cells from oxidative stress-induced insulin resistance. (2) The ALA used in this formula is chemically stabilized and of the highest quality. It’s the most active isomer and the highest potency salt commercially available. ALA is an invaluable addition that offers a multitude of benefits plus countless extras for any serious athlete.

Bottom Line: Best way to describe this effect is that it almost adds a filter to the muscle fibers; Taking in what it needs to prepare for growth.

Trigonella Seed isolate (standardized to 10% 4-hydroxyisoleucine)
Fenugreek has been successfully applied for thousands of years to improve health. It corrects blood sugar problems and improves cholesterol scores. Modern research also shows that it improves endurance and lowers blood lactate concentrations dramatically. Treatment with fenugreek seed can also significantly decreases fat accumulation. These results suggest that this improvement in endurance and reduction in body fat is caused by an increase in the utilization of fatty acids as an energy source. (3) Fenugreek supplements high in 4-HIL have also been demonstrated to increase post-exercise glycogen resynthesis in athletes, which promotes rapid recovery and helps prevent training fatigue. (4) The visible results of this glycogenic effect are big, pumped muscles that look extremely full and vascular.

Bottom Line: Helps you use fatty acids as an energy source, rather than store them as Fat!

Phellodendron extract (standardized to 90% berberine)
Phellodendron is one of the highly valued traditional Chinese herbs, used medicinally to treat a variety of health conditions. It is reported that some subjects show improved strength, lower blood pressure, and lower blood sugar in response to Phellodendron isolates. Laboratory studies suggest that one of these alkaloidal isolates called berberine may accomplish these benefits by enhancing insulin production. (5) There are also many studies that suggest berberine can reduce total serum cholesterol, dangerous LDL-cholesterol, and unhealthy triglycerides, which would obviously contribute greatly to increased athletic performance and good over-all health. (6) Improved health and increased physical performance translates into greater strength and muscle gains in the gym.

Bottom Line: Increased performance translates into greater strength and muscle gains.

Cinnamon Bark 20:1 extract (standardized for 16% flavonoids)
Cinnamon is a common spice used all over the world, but it’s not commonly known that the spice has significant therapeutic value. Cinnamon contains the element chromium, which is needed for proper glucose metabolism, and also compounds called flavonoids. Flavinoids are potent anti-oxidants which are known to provide protection against cancer and heart disease. The specific flavonoids found in cinnamon bark are shown to stimulate glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis similar to insulin. These flavonoids may activate receptors by direct insulin mimicking action, or indirect insulin potentiation, or both. (7) Studies also show that cinnamon improves lipid profiles for some subjects. (8) If you train consistently and have a healthy diet, your big muscular improvements from this powerful little cinnamon extract might surprise you.

Bottom Line: Insulin is very anabolic, so the insulin boosting action of cinnamon extract will be bigger, stronger muscles.

Bis(Maltolato)Oxovanadium (BMOV)
BMOV is an organic form of the mineral vanadium. Although elemental vanadium and inorganic salts of vanadium show significant biological potential, it has a poor therapeutic index due to low gastrointestinal absorbance. BMOV is recognized as safer, more absorbable, and able to deliver a therapeutic effect up to 50% greater than the inorganic forms. (9) Vanadium is one of the rare microelements that can promote a profound boost in endurance and strongly support anabolism. BMOV can give muscles a hardness like you have never experience before. The form of vanadium used in this formula is one of the very best you can find, if not the best.

*Bottom Line: Makes your Muscle harder than ever, increases vascularity!

AI's Stoked!!!

* 1. Would you like to increase testosterone and decrease estrogen naturally with NO steroids and NO prohormones?
* 2. Are you between cycles and/or looking for something natural to bridge until your next cycle?
* 3. Would you like something to increase muscle mass and strength naturally?
* 4. How about something which requires NO post cycle therapy and NO support supplements before during or after?
* 5. Would you like to increase libido and sexual function?


**If you answered yes to 3 or more of the above then STOKED may be the product for you!

* Increase Testosterone
* Naturally Increases Sexual Function
* Reduces Estrogen
Trans-Resveratrol

This compound is like sliced bread to the supplement industry. There are many different health benefits to come from resveratrol, but we picked it up for one in particular. Resveratrol is capable of modulating estrogenic receptors as well as controlling aromatase, giving it that One Two Punch for estrogen control.[2][3] Research has shown its estrogenic modulation capabilities to increase sperm production by stimulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. [1]
Horny Goat Weed

Horny Goat Weed (HWG) is a great source of the testosterone mimetic, Icariin. Research on Icariin has shown it to increase circulating testosterone levels as well as improve reproductive organs, making it a great therapeutic for hypoandrogenic states (like right after a steroids cycle). [4]

On top of the testosterone mimetic capabilities of icariin, it also has some very interesting metabolites. In vivo research has shown icariin to metabolize into icaritin and desmethylicaritin. [5] What's great about these guys is the fact that (like resveratrol) are very strong estrogenic receptor antagonists. [6][7]
Quercetin & Piperine

Well we've got our pretty awesome stack going here, but there poses one small problem, and that's absorption and bioavailability. Icariin and Resveratrol do not have the greatest bioavailablity in all the land so we gave them a little help with Quercetin and Piperine. Quercetin is used because it is the most potent natural inbitor of estrone sulfanase which degrades compounds like resveratrol. [15] This makes not only aids in absorption, but enhances antiestrogenic activity. Piperine is another addition because it enhances the ability of your intestines to absorb nutrients and phytochemicals. [16] Additionally, piperine may also inhibit the glucuronidase enzyme, another enzyme which degrades resveratrol.[17]

First off the bat nutrition is in check. Currently I am reducing body fat for either a July 11th show or a November show. calories are a deficit 500-1000 depending , with probably a -750. If i need to bump them down to -1000 I do it. My goal to drop body fat 5-8 lbs of body fat during this next month.Currently I weighed yesterday (no shoes) and am 241. Lets put this to the test and where my strength goes while reducing body fat.

with that said now that nutrition is out of the way because that is the most important thing for myself. Lets get down to the fun stuff.

sunday April 4th 2010 off

Monday April 5th Biceps, forearms, back

Standing barbell curl
85lbs=16x's(3 rest pauses)
preacher e-z bar curl 65lbs= (75 lbs if the bar weighs 25 but after eight years of lifting I thought the bar weighs 15 lbs)

one arm reverse cable curl 35lbs=10x's

assisted underhand chinup station
60lbs=12-15x's( 3 rest pauses)

Rack deadlift (starting point top of shins)
350lbs=10 x's I could have got 12 but I learned that upper back is a genetically strong body part and while it is fun to train stuff I am strong at I would rather back off it a bit and super-train my body parts that are playing catch-up) so I did not train all out to failure.

I use the training to failure on "weak" body parts.

April 6th 2010 Calves, hamstrings, Quadriceps
Donkey calve raises
295=10x's ( 2 partials)
Seated calve 45 +25=10x's

Leg press
6 plates per side=10x's (again had more but did not go to complete failure)spotter just in case I passed out, went down far
5 plates=12

Lying Leg curl(+3 a technique learn t from the Dc inventor Dante)
110=19(3 rest pauses)

everything is going smoothly the scale is going downward which I am trying to do. Strength and aggression in the gym seem to be higher than it has been in a while since I started the swole stack on Monday and I believe this is what is causing it.

I also took some perform samples and my libido has been insane. In addition since I using stimulants for fatloss I am using cycle support,one scoop a day, even though I am doing an "all natty" stack for general health and to keep blood pressure at bay, Blood pressure is very good by the way, but I like to make sure if anything the extra nac and cycle supports awesome ingredients help gains and if the stimulants(even the low doses I am currently taking) may raise blood pressure a tad I place a big emphasis on my vitals.

also It makes my vanilla protein shakes tastier and I like tasting the herbs in cycle support it makes me feel good knowing they help my body out. I will be posting my lifting numbers in this log,as well as my training log. Moreover, this log is focused on specially the swole stack and how it relates to keeping my strength up or hopefully gaining some.

Thank you for the support every one. Again if you are subscribed to my training log I am copying and pasting my workout from there and specifically focusing on the swole stack.

Wednesday April 7th 2010 2 cardio sessions
cardio 40 minutes
cardio 30 minutes

Thursday April 8th 2010 Cardio, Chest shoulders Triceps,posing

Cardio 30 minutes separated by 5-6 hours

Incline Barbell
205lbs=16x's (spotter helped with forced reps) (3 rest pauses)
Chest stretch 20 lbs=60 seconds(next day outer chest sore I am going to start doing these I think they give the chest a nice look)

Larry Scott Dumb bell press (This exercise the trainee has to go lighter than dumbell press but boy does it work, its an overhead lateral)
60lbs=5=2-drop set45lbs=6x's
seated side laterals 35lbs=12x's

Nautilus triceps extension
160lbs=31x's(3 rest pauses)
one arm cable reverse
35lbs=12x's

posing 10 minutes


April 9th 2010 Biceps, forearms, back
deadarm curls(also called incline dumbbell curls)
30lbs=19x's
Preacher ez bar curls
50lbs=10x's

Preacher reverse ez bar (Larry Scott recommended range of motion)
50lbs=10x's

close mid underhand grip pull down (yates way)
200lbs=13x's , 2 partials

under grip barbell row
225=13x's
overgrip barbell row
225=12x's

First week of the swole stack: I definitely feel more in charge since I started it on Monday.Strength has been climbing and I am doing below maintenance calories so this is a plus. Joints also seem to be a little better than of late which may very well be due to quercetin as quercetin has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and resveratrol may may anti-inflammatory as well.

Alpha lipoic acid causes slightly enhanced visual function and I notice this after taking glycobol and it seems to last a couple hours.

does any one else notice this?

Glad it works for you Tom.

After buying many testosterone boosters over the course of seven or eight years I used to use two bottles for two months, I think something like testo pro at least for myself one bottle does the job very nicely and even the month after some of the free testosterone is still lingering until it goes back to baseline slowly.

I used to spend so much money on natural supplements though the years I probably over did it on the supplements at first when diet was more important so I have a lot of experience with most of the supplements from eight years ago until now. I figured out the first month with the testosterone booster is where I saw the most gains.(again this is just what has worked for myself)

so yeah two bottles may work better for you;however I do think one bottle works very well on its own whenever a natural testosterone boost is desired.

3 weeks or 3 days?

I remember six years ago when I was doing a test booster the company recommend 5 days on 2 off was optional. I take so many pills every day and recently read an article that said if you are taking 20 plus pills a day it is hard on your liver or whatever breaks them down. makes sense to myself.

I took today off of the swole stack. As long as you run it pretty much every day I think your getting optimal benefits.

no, hell no. 3 weeks on 1 week off. i max out on effects after 3 weeks it seems-but taking a week off puts me right there again.

hey, john. you know as well as i do, everyone has to find what works best for them-may not be good for anyone else but it works damn well for me, lol.

April 10th 2010 cardio

35 minutes cardio am

35 minutes cardio pm

April 11th 2010 cardio

45 minutes cardio

April 12th 2010 Calves, Quads, Hamstrings

Seated calve raise
(two 45's)=6x's(plus some partials)
Donkey Calve raise
300lbs=10x's

Hack Squat
275=10x's (easy good form, slow and controlled negatives , flexing quads on the positive, did not go to failure because quads are up to par)
225=15x's

Strait leg dead lift (Yates way, butt out first then below the knees)
275=12x's (went hard intensity on these even though I really did not need to)
225=10-12 lost count

Quad stretch 60 seconds

Hamstring stretch 60 seconds

My gym scale may be off so I am not ruling this out because I expected to drop at least 2 if not 3 4 or 5 pounds this week. I have been been hitting reduction calories and calculating everything this week and can not understand how I could be at this weight.

So maybe the swole stack put two pounds on myself in it's first week. Improbable in my opinion but not impossible. Maybe I did a secret way no one knows about putting muscle on maybe its the swole stack or something I done.

Other then that I am feeling strong and aggressive in the gym.

My weight weighed in at 243 today with my shoes off. last week was 241 with shoes off. My calories this week have been 500-1000 calories below maintenance every day.

Well will see.

Nice workout! I haven't done stiff leg deadlifts in years so i'm pretty excited to add them to my new workout. I think i'll try them the yates way that you are doing them.
My hamstrings are so tight and sore from these. I just got done cardio and I could not take long strides because they are real tight and going to long strides may could cause me to tear a hammie. Got to use caution for myself as I know how injuries and getting bigger can go hand in hand if a person is not meticulous on form and still it is a risk.

Just entered week 3 of this stack today. My aggression shot up in the first few days with this then leveled off. I've maybe gained a pound or two so far and eat pretty clean. I haven't seen much in fat loss or strength so far but overall mood and training intensity is noticeably improved. Also noticed that my joints haven't been as sore. I'm going to switch over to PP's phyo-test and formestane at the end of the stack to see if I notice a difference.

I just started week 2 of Swole stack. Nothing really to report at this time, except green colored stool and the fact, that I get a shorter fuse. Still waiting for a libido increase that everybody is talking about.

Are you going to run a PCT for foremstane or is it even needed? Just wondering. I might try that too.

how many caps ED?

2 caps a day worked great for me, on heavy heavy carb days I would dose 3.

Hmnn sorry it does not work well for you but it has done wonders with a vast majority of the others that have run it. If your not getting a libido kick from it get some bloodwork and have your test levels checked.

Not out of line at all. N87 if you feel the stack did nothing for you PM me and we do stand behind our product. I would still urge you to have you test levels checked just to be sure there is no medical problem.:)

Yeah I urge N87 to finish the stack. Last time I did this stack I felt I got gains in the middle-last weeks, even a couple weeks after I stopped the stack libido was extremely high and strength gains alpha male mentally seemed to keep coming

The shorter fuse is usually a sign that the Icariin form Stoked is working. Not everyone gets the insane libido jump immediately from TestoPRO.
