Barlowe's Herbal Elixirs is proud to offer - 7,8
Benzoflavone Testosterone Boosting Anti-Aromatase Anti-Cortisol Complex. This
product is similar to one called RES 100 produced in Australia by a company
called Wicked Supplements, which is a basically a combination of two products
(Sustain Alpha and EndoAmp Max) produced by a company that was called
Primordial Performance. Each capsule of
this superb Complex is a combination of 100mg of 99% HPLC 7,8 Benzoflavone,
100mg of 98% HPLC Trans-Resveratrol, 290mg of 70% HPLC Phosphatidylserine
(yielding 203mg of pure Phosphatidylserine) and 10mg of 95% HPLC Black Pepper
Extract (as an absorption initiator). This product has been scientifically
formulated to increase testosterone, while also reducing its aromatase into
estrogen and lowering cortosol levels. The Phosphatidylerine may provide the
added benefit of increased brain function. No expense has been spared in the
manufacture of this product. All ingredients are the highest quality and
potency available:
7,8 Benzoflavone (99%
by HPLC) - one of the best natural
aromatase inhibitors known. Aromatase is
what happens in the body when some of your free testosterone converts to
estrogen. This 7,8 Benzoflavone helps prevent this conversion. Although 7,8
Benzoflavone generally has a low bio-availability, 95% HPLC Black Pepper
Extract (piperine) has been added to this formula which allows for much greater
absorption by the body. 7,8 Benzoflavone may enhance sleep quality and increase
sexual desire. Note: If you google 7,8 Benzoflavone you will come
up with one website claiming that 7,8 Benzoflavone is carcinogenic. However,
the blogger who wrote the article based it upon a total misrepresentation of
the clinical studies. The studies say nothing about benzoflavone being toxic,
just that it potentially worsens the effect of the poison aflatoxin. Aflatoxin
isn't part of the standard diet in any form. In fact, we have laws in the U.S.
to prevent aflatoxins from being in the food supply. So, the headline
"benzoflavone is carcinogenic" is totally misleading and false. None
of the papers cited show benzoflavones as being carcinogens at all.
Here is a
link to an article which discusses this:

Trans-Resveratrol
(98% by HPLC) - a strong anti-oxidant which has testosterone boosting
properties and which also helps prevent aromatase. Trans-Resveratrol has also
been reported to benefit and protect the cardiovascular system.
Phosphatidylserine
(70% by HPLC) - one of the best natural substances to control cortisol
levels. Cortisol is sometimes called the "stress hormone" because its
levels rise following physical or emotional stress. Increased cortisol levels
during and after exercise may lead to cellular breakdown and lengthy recovery
times. Studies have shown that supplementation with Phosphatidylserine may
decrease cortisol levels by up to 30%.
Phosphatidylserine may give an added benefit as preliminary studies
indicate that it may support healthy brain function and may prevent age-related
mental decline. (Phosphatidylserine is an extremely expensive substance and
most companies do not state the true amount or concentration in their products
because most use a cheaper 20% Phosphatidylserine powder. Thus, a capsule with
500mg of the powder only yields 100mg of pure Phosphatidylserine. Barlowe uses
290mg of 70% Phosphatidylserine, yielding 203mg of pure Phosphatidylserine in
each capsule of 7,8 Benzoflavone Complex).
Black Pepper (piperine)
Extract (95% by HPLC) - an absorption initiator, Piperine may greatly
increase the bio-availability of substances which the body generally finds
difficult to digest or absorb.
