Attention all Anabolic Mind Members and those just viewing
Are you that person looking to blast through a plateau? Looking to grow, stay lean, strong and healthy? All by doing it in the most natural way possible? Well look no further for another supplement again.
Let’s start with its fat loss properties. Trans Res is an SIRT1 agonist and this can help greatly with fat loss. “In addition, SIRT1 repressed PPAR-gamma, and overexpression of SIRT1 attenuated adipogenesis, and upregulation of SIRT in differentiated fat cells triggered lipolysis and loss of fat, events that are known to attenuate insulin resistance and prolong life span.(11)”.
Trans Resveratrol
Trans resveratol has been shown to increase sperm count in men, as well as having a positive effect on the HPGA (testosterone increase). While it increases LH and FSH it doesn’t impair the quality of the sperm. “The repeated oral administration of trans-resveratrol induced a 71% decrease in the mean diameter of the seminiferous tubules with a 100% increase in the testicular tubular density. Together, these changes led to an overall increase in the size of the spermatogenic tissue. Therefore, this enlargement may explain the increase in sperm production observed. It is noteworthy that sperm collected from the epididymis had matured properly because the morphological examination revealed the same percentage of abnormalities between groups.” This same study also revealed that a possible reason for this is its mixed ER agonist/antagonist properties regulating the feedback mechanism in the hypothalamus. And why not protect your prostate at the same time? This amazing compound also shows androgen receptor antagonism in the prostate! What more can a guy want? Increase in testosterone, blocking estrogen receptors, blocking androgen action in the prostate(1). All this just from one supplement? The crazy thing is there is more. This Novel supplement is a great antioxidant and can be used for longevity purposes and cardiovascular health. Studies show that it can increase the life span of specific organisms. And as an antioxidant it protects the body of free radicals. These free radicals damage cells in the body. Trans Resveratrol seems to do these actions by SIRT1 activities (agonist). But one of the problems is its not found in food and it seems to have a poor bioavailability (2, 3).
Quercitin and Piperine
This brings us to our next ingredient Querciten and Piperine. Now this is really truly unique in its actions. It enhances the bioavailability of Trans Resveratrol, which is a great thing. Quercetin is used because it is the most potent natural inbitor of estrone sulfanase which degrades compounds like resveratrol. [4] This makes not only aids in absorption, but enhances ant estrogenic activity. Piperine is another addition because it enhances the ability of your intestines to absorb nutrients and phytochemicals. [5] Additionally, piperine may also inhibit the glucuronidase enzyme, another enzyme which degrades resveratrol.[6]
Icariin
Now those two ingredients are essential for Trans Res’ ability to have better bioavailability but what about the last ingredient? Well Icariin also has the same problem. But what makes it unique is its receptor antagonist at the ER and works to mimic testosterone. Icariin has shown it to increase circulating testosterone levels as well as improve reproductive organs, making it a great therapeutic for hypo androgenic states (like right after a steroids cycle). [7]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. [8] What's great about these guys is the fact that (like resveratrol) is very strong estrogenic receptor antagonists. [9][10]
Now let’s review why this testosterone boosting can help for recovery during the use of CERTAIN anabolics as a stand a lone or in conjunction with other ancillaries. There is something known as the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. In short there are steroidal hormones you put in your body (lets go with men on this one) where after a certain amount of time body stops producing your own (very basic). You want to recover and retain as much of your gains as possible and this is where these ingredients can help.
Your hypothalamus releases GnRH and secretes it in pulses every 1.5-2 hours to the pituitary. When it gets there it stimulates the release of LH and FSH to the whole body (12). These products in the specific doses will help you regain this.
Now you can see how this appeals to a man in his journey to get big and strong. Or just as a sexual aid if you’re in your later years of life. Not only protective, but it have chemo protective properties and are a novel antioxidant (1). Now what about women and the use of this product? Well as you can see by the studies shown above that it can really benefit anyone looking for that edge. First of all the number of women who get breast cancer is becoming alarming and the ingredients in Stoked can really protect against it. But the icariin in there people will say “well isn’t the test boosting effects going to have some virilizing effects?” The answer is NO! It has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for women suffering from menopause. It has also been used for women with decreased sexual desire.
Now there was one thing we didn’t address that I mentioned in the beginning. And that’s its effect on glucose control. Now we spoke about Quercitin briefly, but, quercitin has a profound effect on glucose levels. It does this by increasing the effectiveness of Trans Resveratrols properties(4).
So there you have it folks. Many reasons why STOKED! Is a GREAT addition to current stacks, and PCT. And it does not only work well for men, but it works for women as well (2caps a day)
