TURKESTERONE / ASHWAGANDHA / BLACK PEPPER X 120 TABLETS
Ecdysteroids (ECDY) are naturally occurring steroid hormones extracted from arthropods, insects, and some plant species.
Ecdysteroids (ECDY) which are naturally found in plants, are given a special name, phytoecdysteroids. Turkesterone is one such phytoecdysteroid having a 11α-hydroxyl group.
It is analogous to 20-hydroxyecdysone, which is a steroid hormone derived from insects. Therefore, it possesses similar anabolic effects as its analog. Turkesterone originates from Asian and African countries and is more commonly found in plants like marla root and leuzea.
In Vitro research on Turkesterone has shown that it initiates a couple of anabolic pathways, and its mechanism of action can be considered similar to testosterone, except that turkesterone doesn’t bind to androgen receptors.
This is hypothesised to minimize the risk of the development of any steroidal side effects.
If this hypothesis holds true, Turkesterone would help to trigger a cascade of reactions in muscle tissues. This would enhance the translation process of mRNA, which is a fundamental step in protein synthesis and potentially stimulate the uptake of certain amino acids, such as leucine, by the muscle cells. Leucine is an important amino acid required for muscle protein synthesis. The overall effect of all the reactions is to stimulate muscle protein synthesis.
In vitro research suggests that turkesterone may help to balance the nitrogen content within the body by preventing muscle breakdown (reduced catabolism). Turkesterone may also generate more metabolites in the muscles, such as creatine phosphate and ATP content. This phytoecdysteroid initiates notch signaling pathways in the skeletal muscle cells, converting the stem cells into new muscle cells. Perhaps, the major anabolic effect that turkesterone is hypothesised to produce is modulating the secretion of the hypothalamus, pituitary, and adrenal glands.
While human trials are still lacking the research does show promise and has resulted in the increase popularity of Turkesterone as a next generation supplement. It is important to remember that we cannot draw causal conclusions from the current research just yet.
The biggest takeaway from consuming turkesterone is the possible benefit of increases in muscle mass. It also may help in muscle repair and ensures a faster recovery period between your two consecutive workout sessions.
As turkesterone is hypothesised to help regulate hormonal secretion, it may help manage blood pressure, eyesight, overall mood, and growth patterns. Additionally, it may trigger certain anabolic pathways that enhance the immunological response in the human body.
Finally, Turkesterone also may possess adaptogenic properties, which means it may help manage the response against stress and anxiety.
Ashwagandha, one of the most powerful herbs in Ayurvedic healing, has been used since ancient times for a wide variety of conditions and is most well-known for its believed restorative benefits. In Sanskrit Ashwagandha means “the smell of a horse,” indicating that the herb imparts the vigor and strength of a stallion. Ashwagandha is frequently referred to as “Indian ginseng” because of its rejuvenating properties, even though botanically, ginseng and Ashwagandha are unrelated Belonging to the same family as the tomato, Ashwagandha is a plump shrub with oval leaves and yellow flowers. It bears a red fruit about the size of a raisin. The herb is native to the dry regions of India, northern Africa, and the Middle East, and today is also grown in more mild climates, including the United States
Piper Nigrum or black pepper is commonly combined with Turmeric or other molecules as research has suggested that it may increase absorption and bioavailability
