D-Aspartic Acid: This is a natural isomer of the more commonly occurring amino acid
L-Aspartic Acid. Over the past few years, no single ingredient in natural
testosterone support has gained the notoriety, produced the outstanding blood
work results, or seen the overwhelmingly positive anecdotal feedback as DAA.* A
clinical trial performed on adult men found DAA to elicit a 42% average
increase in testosterone after only 12 days of use (3 grams daily).* It has
been long suggested that such a positive shift in testosterone production can
help bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts in their efforts for gaining new lean
muscle mass, enhancing fat loss, and of course, supporting strength and
performance!*.
ActeoFit™:
This high-affinity SERM (Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator) contains two
complimentary plant extracts that have been suggested to support a healthy
estrogen balance, helping to counter estrogen buildup with high spikes in
testosterone.* One series of preliminary experiments with mice also suggest
support for endurance during exercise using one of the extracts, along with
inhibited creatine kinase (a marker of muscle damage) and promoting muscle
glycogen stores.* This may help support athletic performance and preserve
muscle mass and energy (glycogen is the primary source of fuel during
exercise).* Furthermore, support for muscle cell mitochondria was observed.*
This may promote muscle fiber growth, along with an anti-catabolic (protein
sparing) effect.*
RC Pensis™:
Ruta Chalepensis extract, better known as RC Pensis™, has demonstrated
significant testosterone supporting properties in some preliminary animal
studies, alongside abilities to promote liver and muscle glycogen stores, and
promote nitric oxide production.* One study with male mice suggested a
remarkable increase in serum testosterone levels.* Follicle Stimulating Hormone
(FSH) was also increased, while supplementation significantly increased
testicular weight/volume.* Additional peer-reviewed studies suggest ruta
chalepsensis may improve the anabolic/anti-catabolic action of insulin,
increase liver and muscle glycogen stores, and increase nitric oxide (NO)
production sexual health and an enhanced “pump” effect during exercise.*
