mmowry said:Havent seen anyone commenting so Ill give the short version of my 10 days on Turk so far.
Supps 1) Turk 1.5gm x3 WO, 1gmX3 NON
2) Concentrated fish oil 2gmx3
3) Taurine 2gmx3
4) AlCar 1gmX3
5) Beta Carotine 25000iu X1
6) Now Multi
7) CEE 3gm X2 WO only
8) ALA 300mg X3
9) BCAA 5gm X2 WO only
Routine= Mid to low volume 3way split (3x5 bench,dead,squat) 4x6-8(iso movements)
Diet= Eating 5 meals a day 300-350gm protein multiple sources the rest hasnt changed still eat what I want as to be more objective.
Sofar since starting back Ive noticed the partitioning effects are evident.Where as I should have put on a couple # due to Just starting back,supplementation and increased protein intake.Well Ive actually lost 2# .I take all supps on an empty stomach and Ive used all of them before except the Turk.
When taken more than 20-30 min before food I start to feel hypo so the nutrient shuttling is in effect.Im feeling prolonged muscle fullness and the horrible DOMS Ive learned to live with after a long layoff have been drastically cut down.
EX normally i would be crying the day after ATG squats but I was only tender.I went heavier than anyone should have when just getting back in the swing and I feel no more stiff than I did when in a normal training routine.So so far so good.will post a full review with pictures and stats in a few more weeks.
Anyone else want to comment on their experiences so far?
Not yet....I'll check it out today.fbxdan said:Btw- Dsade have you heard the new Tom Waits cd yet? I heard a couple songs, it seems promising
dsade said:BUMP for more feedback on the turk....how much time should I be committing per day to the 20% extract????
PM me your address, and I will send you a replacement.protomike said:dsade, not sure if you saw my thread in the general chat, but some prick opened up my container and spilled out over half of it... i was goin to run it in another week or so after i got done my last bottle of powerfull, but due to the circumstance i started using it on monday. getting in roughly 4gms a day split up into four doses. nothing really to report so far.
Unknow cost right now. We do accept children for payment...they can help pack boxes.mmowry said:What will the cost to % ratio be?Ill keep ordering Turk until youre out or til I cant scrounge up any more cash.

Rivet said:I have been using the stuff for 2 weeks now. So far I have noticed a spider web of veins all over my shoulders, chest and bi's. Doms are greatly reduced . It only really kicked in for me after a week so I haven't noticed much more then that. I wonder about the half life of Turk. If its short then even at 20% you would still have to take it quite often just not as many caps at a time. I'm dosing it at 400mg per cap 10 caps a day. 3/2/2/3
thesinner said:Last I checked, ecdysones have a very short half life
Rivet said:That's what I thought. So unless you need the 20% to make room in a cap to fit other powders 2% may be good enough if 20% is not cost effective. Anyone here know how long Turk is effective for? Does it need to cycled?
Taken from the following source: Invalid Link RemovedAlthough the question of mammalian metabolism is certainly of importance for the practicability of the in vivo use of ecdysteroid-inducible gene expression systems (with the aim of using them for gene therapy), it is not well documented at the present time. Ecdysteroids have a very low toxicity in mammals: in the mouse, the LD50 of 20E is 6.4 g/kg (for intra-peritoneal injection) and it is >9 g/kg when given orally (Matsuda et al., 1970; Ogawa et al., 1974). Up to now, studies have concerned mice, rats, lambs and humans, and all have shown that these molecules are short-lived in mammals. Several strategies have been used to analyse the metabolic fate of ecdysteroids.
Ecdysteroids are rapidly eliminated
In the case of humans, two different studies have been performed. Simon and Koolman (1989) analysed the pharmacokinetics of E and 20E (given orally, 0.2 mg/kg b.w.) to a male volunteer, by monitoring with a radioimmunoassay the subsequent plasma and urine titres. This gave an effective half-time (EHT) of elimination of 4 hours for E and 9 hours for 20E. In lambs, EHT for 20E was shown to depend strongly on the mode of administration, with values of 0.4, 0.2 and 2 hours after oral, intravenous and intramuscular administration, respectively (Simon and Koolman, 1989). The method used did not allow the detection of metabolites, if present. The half-life seems shorter in smaller mammals, with reported values of 8.15 min for 20E in mice (Dzukharova et al., 1987). More recently, Albanese et al. (2000) found a plasma half-life of 48 min for ponA in mice after intra-peritoneal injection of 750 µg of this compound.
Both urinary and faecal routes seem to be used for the elimination of the administered molecules. In mice, the faecal route was found to be the major one by Hikino et al. (1972a and b) and Lafont et al. (1988), although Dzukharova et al. (1987) found that faecal and urinary routes were equally important. Such a question can be easily assessed only by the use of radiolabelled molecules, but no data are available for humans. Kinetic studies in mice showed that ecdysteroids were taken up by the liver and then excreted into the gut via the bile (Hikino et al.,1972a and b ; Lafont et al., 1988).

wojo said:anybody else feeling a lot more um "regular" on this?:dump: :toilet:
, as well DSADE did you ever get ahold of the 20% and has any one tried running it in comparison yet? very interested in getting some of this.
03-07-2007, 08:15 PM.... I am STILL working on the 20% extract.
any of the fellas who picked this up and are running it long term would you care to share your results and dosing schedules, very interested
so tell me guys how does this stuff taste and whats the prefered method of administration????

If you tamper it real good, you can squeeze about 500mg in a "00" cap.
