Usage

Description

Turkesterone is an extract derived from the Ajuga Turkestanica plant, native to Siberia, Asia, and Eastern Europe. It is a highly concentrated type of ecdysterone, a class of naturally occurring compounds that share similar effects and chemical structures with androgens but possess less potency and greater safety profiles. Turkesterone is known for its ability to support male hormones, aid in recovery from resistance training, and provide additional benefits such as promoting healthy blood glucose management and liver health.

Uses

Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
Turkesterone is used as a hormone support agent for its ability to support male hormones and recovery from resistance training. It is valued for its lower potency compared to androgens, which makes it a safer alternative for hormone support.
Used in Health and Wellness Industry:
Turkesterone is used as a supplement for healthy blood glucose management due to its hypoglycemic effect. This makes it a potential candidate for individuals seeking to maintain balanced blood sugar levels.
Used in Stress Management:
Turkesterone is used as an anti-stress agent for its demonstrated anti-stress activity in mice. This suggests that it may have potential applications in stress management and overall well-being for humans.
Used in Liver Health:
Turkesterone is used as a liver health support agent due to its believed benefits in promoting liver health. This makes it a potential candidate for individuals looking to support their liver function and overall health.

benefits

There are 5 main benefits of turkesterone. Similar results to steroids without the androgenic effectsThe main reason people use turkesterone is that it has similar growth results to typical (and banned) steroids without the typical androgenic effects. This may make it safer and more accessible to a wider amount of people.No cycle therapy neededBecause turkesterone is not a steroid – you do not have to do a post-cycle therapy recovery like you would have to do with typical steroid.Turkesterone Improves muscle growthProbably. Some users have reported up to 10lbs of muscle gained! While that's a lot, and should be taken with a grain of salt, the research tentatively seems to back this up (even if not to such extremes).We're collecting more data on this on a daily basis, so if you have a case study you'd like to share, please send it in.Improved insulin sensitivityImproved insulin sensitivity is correlated with multiple positive health outcomes including better fasting glucose levels and the next item – which people care quite a bit about.Improved body compositionDue to the muscle growth and insulin sensitivity, many people report improved physiques after taking Turkesterone and seeing an increase in positive body composition and decrease in body fat.

Biological Functions

Turkesterone in a highly concentrated form is an ecdysterone. An ecdysterone is a sterol, a naturally occurring substance in all plant and animal life, and a subgroup of steroids. Steroids are organic compounds, and not the same thing as anabolic steroids which cause abnormal muscle building. Many people believe that Turkesterone supplements actually help the body return to a naturally balanced state, thus improving the immune system.

Biological Activity

Turkesterone is a potent ecdysteroid. Turkesterone acts as an ecdysteroid receptor (EcR) agonist in some insect systems.

Side effects

Turkesterone is well tolerated and we have found no studies on Turkesterone where adverse side effects were reported. That said anecdotal reports of side effects have been received and these include lethargy, diarrhea, mild headaches, and nausea. These side effects are more likely at higher doses so we do not recommend exceeding 4 capsules (1000 mg) per day.
