A few days ago i read a thread where a few people claimed that studies show the compound in ERASE has no effect on cortisol. Then a PES rep came in and said they never claimed it to lower cortisol, only that it "may". This seems kinda odd to me because if you read any websites write up on ERASE almost the entire thing talks about how bad cortisol is and how erase lowers it. Just trying to figure out if I need to run something like Reduce XT along side it or if erase actually does lower cortisol. Thanks guys. . .

There is some thought on this that Erase seems to have an effect on lowering cortisol. Is it's primary purpose to lower cortisol? No, but there does seem to be some residual effect.

I personally always take a little extra vitamin C while taking erase, as that as well seems to have an anti-cortisol impact

lame... I just bought Erase, I was contemplating going to the Triazole/LeanXtreme. But I liked that Erase was an all in one and it's AI mechanism was suicide inhibitor so no chance of rebound like you would have with an normal AI or SERM

Here is the whole deal. OTC AI's are going to be a thing of the past here quite soon. Erase has enough anecdotal evidence and supporting information from chemists like RussianStar that it is our information on the write. If something is being marketed as an AI, you will see it leave the market that much quicker, regardless of the DSHEA, anything that lowers E is not considered to be a dietary supp in big brothers eyes. We stated it at the beginning that it was only theory, but that theory has held anecdotal true, and saliva test true from my own doing.

As I said earlier, take it for what you will. The masses says cort control, and gun to my head I vouch for just that.

There is no study showing that Erase has no effect on cortisol.

Those who have used both AIs and cortisol reducers extensively, and used Erase, will be the first to tell you it hits both pathways

The last thing you'd want to do is take an additional cort blocker along side it. You would find out extremely fast that it was not needed and regret purchasing 2 things.

Waiting for my Erase Alpha T2 to come in. I got it primarily for the AI and thought the added bonus of lowering cortisol. Thanks for the vitamin c tidbit- definitely helpful.

Many (including myself) have been reporting leaning out quite a bit while on Erase. I don't think cortisol is going to be an issue.

Erase has cortisol control effects, yes. There is no need to run another cortisol control product alongside it, unless you low-dosed it.

Because if you add another one on top of erase and you down right crush it to nothing... bad news.

Everyone thinks cort is so bad when in fact it is a necessary functional hormone.

The theory of Erase lowering cortisol stems from the fact that 7-oxos conversion to metabolites hogs the 11-b hsd enzyme, similar to dheas conversion to testosterone using the 3b and 17b hsd enzymes. 11b hsd is responsible for converting inactive cortisone into the active form cortisol. Since 7 oxo is competively reducing the total amount of conversion taking place, you're left with less active cortisol.

Erase is a metabolite of 7-oxo, so we hypothesized the possibility of it being a competitive inhibitor of this enzyme as well. It was pretty much confirmed after all the anecdotal reports we have received, as well as some people that have taken saliva adrenal stress index tests while on erase.

http://www.appliednutriceuticals.com/product-free_test.php

Regulating Estrogen and Increasing Testosterone via Suicide Aromatase Inhibition: The Role of 3, 7-Keto DHEA:

* 3, 7-Keto DHEA is a naturally-occurring metabolite of dehydroepiandosterone (DHEA), and is a potent aromatase inhibitor with some very unique qualities. Aromatase is an enzyme that transforms testosterone into estrogen, and the more active aromatase is, the more estrogen will ultimately be present. Therefore, aromatase inhibitors significantly decrease the level of estrogen in the body. This is important as increased estrogen in men can signal the hypothalamic pituitary testicular axis (HPTA) to shut down the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). GnRH signals the production of luteinizing hormone (LH), which signals the production of testosterone. Therefore, increased estrogen levels can lower endogenous testosterone production (21,29,31).

* 3, 7-Keto DHEA has demonstrated strong ability to lower estrogen, thus mitigating this effect. It has a high binding affinity (Ki value = 0.22 mM) to the aromatase enzyme, and binds in an irreversible manner, making it a suicide inhibitor of aromatase. Ki Values measure how efficiently a compound binds to its associated receptor. The lower the Ki value; the higher the binding affinity. This inhibition allows for the production of less estradiol (E2) and estrone (E1) and allows the user of the compound to maintain a higher level of testosterone; hence improving the Testosterone: Estrogen (T:E) ratio. The mechanism through which aromatase inhibitors raise testosterone is fairly simple; the HPTA senses low levels of estrogen, and because the body seeks to maintain homeostasis (it likes to maintain at least some estrogen, even in men), there is a concurrent increase in the amount of testosterone that is being produced, as a way to compensate for the low estrogen levels. The increased testosterone levels normally will result in increased estrogen since there is no estrogen being produced. Essentially, the brain is tricked into trying to produce more estrogen, so it releases more luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) and subsequently more LH, leading to even higher testosterone levels (20,21-23).

* All aromatase inhibitors share this characteristic of positively altering the T:E ratio, and all will raise serum testosterone levels in men, which has been referenced in numerous studies. 3,7-Keto DHEA is comparable in potency to several other commonly available aromatase inhibitors. As explained above, a lower Ki value means higher potency, making it more potent than both Formestane and Exemestane, and very similar to androstentrione (ATD) (31,55).

* 3,7-Keto DHEA is unique from other commonly used aromatase inhibitors in sports supplements in that it is a natural metabolite of 7-Keto DHEA and it cannot directly bind to the androgen receptor. 3,7-Keto DHEA (like 7-Keto DHEA) also cannot convert to testosterone, estrogen, or progesterone via any type of enzymatic reaction, so by strict definition it cannot in any way be considered a prohormone. This clearly differentiates it from other recently banned products that allow for the direct conversion to a controlled substance in the body (in either in trace amounts or full-scale conversion). This can not occur with 3,7-Keto DHEA, as it is formed naturally in humans from 7-Keto DHEA and can be readily found in humans in the amount of 5-7 ug/day (23-24).

Well you SAY its 110, yet from all the feedback ive seen from Free test no one is getting the joint issues usually associated with low cort/low estrogen, yet with Erase it has happened at 75.

To me it sounds like its really not dosed accordingly, and as long as its hidden within a prop blend ill continue to feel this way.

And nonetheless, it isnt just 110mg VS 75. Free test costs more, and while it may have additional ingredients, not all of them are beneficial. Take forskolin for example, it is shown in literature to upregulate aromatase. I wouldnt pay more for that.

Of course they arent, but its a common side effect of the ingredient 3,7 keto dhea apparently. I dont understand why Erase gives it at 75mg but Free test doesnt at your 110mg dosage.

Ive read a study on forskolin that showed an increase in testosterone, but it was only by about 3%.

Edit - Just to clarify, the 3% change was in association with free testosterone increase. Not total.

Resveratrol has been shown in several studies to have some positive effects on cartilage- this is one of the reasons I included it in the formulation, along with quercetin to prevent the glucorinidation of res-v. I noticed a pretty significant reduction in joint pain when I took a decent dose of res-v/quercetin a few years ago when I was taking 6-Bromo (it kills my joints), so when were developing the product, it seemed like a logical choice to try in a beta. The first beta for Free Test didn't contain res-v and quercetin, and it was dosed around 140 mg/4 capsules- 5 out of 5 testers had to quit taking it because it was murdering their joints. The second beta had res-v and quercetin along with a 120 mg/4 capsule dose, and only 1 person out of 10 complained of joint pain.... here are a couple studies- not great because they were animal studies- but they are directional:

Resveratrol suppresses interleukin-1beta-induced inflammatory signaling and apoptosis in human articular chondrocytes: potential for use as a novel nutraceutical for the treatment of osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis is an inflammatory disease of load-bearing synovial joints that is currently treated with drugs that exhibit numerous side effects and are only temporarily effective on pain, the main symptom of the disease. Consequently, there is an acute need for novel, safe and more effective chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of osteoarthritis and related arthritic diseases. Resveratrol is a phytoalexin stilbene produced naturally by plants including red grapes, peanuts and various berries. Recent research in various cell models has demonstrated that resveratrol is safe and has potent anti-inflammatory properties. However, its potential for treating arthritic conditions has not been explored. In this study we provide experimental evidence that resveratrol inhibits the expression of VEGF, MMP-3, MMP-9 and COX-2 in human articular chondrocytes stimulated with the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1beta. Since these gene products are regulated by the transcription factor NF-kappaB, we investigated the effects of resveratrol on IL-1beta-induced NF-kappaB signaling pathway. Resveratrol, like N-Ac-Leu-Leu-norleucinal (ALLN) suppressed IL-1beta-induced proteasome function and the degradation of IkappaBalpha (an inhibitor of NF-kappaB) without affecting IkappaBalpha kinase activation, IkappaBalpha-phosphorylation or IkappaBalpha-ubiquitination which suppressed nuclear translocation of the p65 subunit of NF-kappaB and its phosphorylation. Furthermore, we observed that resveratrol as well as ALLN inhibited IL-1beta-induced apoptosis, caspase-3 activation and PARP cleavage in human articular chondrocytes. In summary, our results suggest that resveratrol suppresses apoptosis and inflammatory signaling through its actions on the NF-kappaB pathway in human chondrocytes. We propose that resveratrol should be explored further for the prophylactic treatment of osteoarthritis in humans and companion animals.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in joints contributes to the pathogenesis of cartilage damage in osteoarthritis (OA). We aim to explore the potential chondroprotective effects of resveratrol on AGEs-stimulated porcine chondrocytes and cartilage explants.

METHODS: Chondrocytes were isolated from pig joints. Activation of the IκB kinase (IKK)-IκBα-nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-activator protein-1 (AP-1) pathways was assessed by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA), Western blot and transfection assay. The levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)-NO and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)-prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) were measured by Western blot, Griess reaction or ELISA. The expression and enzyme activity of matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) were determined by real time RT/PCR and gelatin zymography, respectively.

RESULTS: We show that AGEs-induced expression of iNOS and COX-2 and production of NO and PGE2 were suppressed by resveratrol. Such effects of resveratrol were likely mediated through inhibiting IKK-IκBα-NF-κB and JNK/ERK-AP-1 signaling pathways induced by AGEs. By targeting these critical signaling pathways, resveratrol decreased AGEs-stimulated expression and activity of MMP-13 and prevented AGEs-mediated destruction of collagen II. Histochemistry analysis further confirms that resveratrol could prevent AGEs-induced degradation of proteoglycan and aggrecan in cartilage explants.

CONCLUSIONS: The present study reveals not only the effects and mechanisms regarding how resveratrol may protect cartilage from AGEs-mediated damage but also the potential therapeutic benefit of resveratrol in the treatment of OA.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN: Basic science, biologic study.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the potential benefits of using resveratrol (RSV) for intervertebral disc (IVD) matrix repair and regeneration.

SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: The phytoestrogen RSV is a natural compound found in various plants including grapes and red wines. RSV has been reported to provide a protective effect on articular cartilage in rabbit models for arthritis, but its effect on spine cartilage is unknown. METHODS.: We studied the effect of RSV on bovine IVD cartilage homeostasis by assessing MMP-13 (potent catabolic factor) production, proteoglycan (PG) accumulation and synthesis, and the interaction between RSV and known catabolic factors such as bFGF or IL-1. To understand the molecular mechanisms by which RSV modulates MMP-13 and PG production, we also investigated its downstream target regulatory molecules.

RESULTS: Stimulation of bovine disc cells cultured in monolayer with bFGF or IL-1 augmented the production of MMP-13 and ADAMTS-4 at the transcriptional level and this augmentation was blocked by RSV. Incubation of nucleus pulposus cells with RSV for 21 days significantly increased PG accumulation per cell in a dose-dependent manner, increased PG synthesis, rescued PG losses induced by catabolic reagents bFGF and IL-1, and promoted cell survival to levels seen after incubation with the anabolic protein BMP7 100 ng/mL. Protein-DNA interaction array results suggest that RSV effectively suppresses downstream target molecules of bFGF and IL-1 responsible for oxidative stress, proliferation, and apoptosis.

CONCLUSION: Resveratrol is a potent anabolic mediator of bovine IVD cartilage homeostasis, revealing its potential as a unique biologic treatment to slow the progression of IVD degeneration. These data suggests RSV may have considerable promise in the treatment of disc degeneration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: This study examined the effect of forskolin on body composition, testosterone, metabolic rate, and blood pressure in overweight and obese (BMI > or = 26 kg/m(2)) men.

RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURE: Thirty subjects (forskolin, n = 15; placebo, n = 15) were studied in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study for 12 weeks.

RESULTS: Forskolin was shown to elicit favorable changes in body composition by significantly decreasing body fat percentage (BF%) and fat mass (FM) as determined by DXA compared with the placebo group (p < or = 0.05). Additionally, forskolin administration resulted in a change in bone mass for the 12-week trial compared with the placebo group (p < or = 0.05). There was a trend toward a significant increase for lean body mass in the forskolin group compared with the placebo group (p = 0.097). Serum free testosterone levels were significantly increased in the forskolin group compared with the placebo group (p < or = 0.05). The actual change in serum total testosterone concentration was not significantly different among groups, but it increased 16.77 +/- 33.77% in the forskolin group compared with a decrease of 1.08 +/- 18.35% in the placebo group.

DISCUSSION: Oral ingestion of forskolin (250 mg of 10% forskolin extract twice a day) for a 12-week period was shown to favorably alter body composition while concurrently increasing bone mass and serum free testosterone levels in overweight and obese men. The results indicate that forskolin is a possible therapeutic agent for the management and treatment of obesity.

You raise some good points- and the directionality amongst the testers is more anecdotal than scientific, but it was a noticeable reduction in everybody that I have talked to. I have heard of instances of very mild joint pain from some individuals on Free Test- but they have been few and far between

Come on man. What's your problem? Yes, we say it's 110. We're telling you what's in it, since when is that a bad thing?

What in Free Test isn't beneficial? I'm curious what you think.

Forskolin does so much more than increase test. Take cAMP elevation for example and what it does for body composition. THink about this, yes forskolin MIGHT raise aromatase but we also include an AI in there so that problem with forskolin is moot.

I would like to think PES reps are not going to get into a slanging match over products where the main ingredient is the same at similar doses per capsule.

Free Test: 110mg between 4 caps = 27.5mg per capsule
Erase: 25mg per cap, 2.5mg less per capsule

Free Test: 100 capsules at $44.95 on NP
Erase: 90 capsules at $29.99 on NP

Free Test: 2750mg of 3,7 per bottle
Erase: 2250mg of 3,7 per bottle

Is the extra 500mg of active 3,7 plus the other ingredients in the bottle worth the extra 50% in price? Maybe, maybe not. That is for the customer to decide. I know Erase gets very high and consistent feedback so I am happy supporting this product. I am sure that App Nut are happy with the Free Test feedback so I don't see a problem.

There is the summary, healthy discussion is welcome. Rep wars are not professional or necessary in my opinion. :)

and not a knock on nutra, but Free Test is available on other websites and local stores (in my area at least) for a much cheaper price, although not as low as Erase

Everyone in thread raised some good points, I think it was a decent discussion- this is why I like AM over BB.com- everybody was respectful, and still got their pt. across

and to summarize- if you are interested in just 3,7 Oxo DHEA- Erase is your best bet for the price- but if you are interested in 3,7 Oxo, plus some extra things that are beneficial to leaning out, or something that stacks optimally with HGH-Up and Lit-Up, Free Test is your best bet....

Everyone in thread raised some good points, I think it was a decent discussion- this is why I like AM over BB.com- everybody was respectful, and still got their pt. across

and to summarize- if you are interested in just 3,7 Oxo DHEA- Erase is your best bet for the price- but if you are interested in 3,7 Oxo, plus some extra things that are beneficial to leaning out, or something that stacks optimally with HGH-Up and Lit-Up, Free Test is your best bet....
