Free Test: Turbo-Charges Free Testosterone Output!
What’s better than a Pro-Hormone? FREE TEST™!!!
The prohormone ban has come and gone. Yeah, there are a few still out
there…the ones nobody wants because they don’t work. There might be a
few dirty compounds floating around the internet from some shady
companies too – and they’re not even remotely worth the risk. So what’s
a guy who looking for REAL, HARDCORE gains supposed to do NOW?
Enter the era of the hANh™ (Hybrid Anabolic / Near Hormonal); which is
defined as a product that engages a synchronization of natural and
exogenous factors to produce a pronounced anabolic and hormonal
response. The distinct advantage of a hANh is that the user is able to
obtain maximal physiological benefits comparable to that of fully
hormonal products while minimizing potential side effects and disruption
of endogenous factors post-usage. Applied Nutriceuticals® pioneered
this product category with HGHup♂™ and now takes it a step further with
FREE TEST™.
FREE TEST
cranks your testosterone levels like no other
product because it hits the problem from two separate directions: On
one hand it focuses on decreasing the body’s mechanisms that lower
endogenous (natural) testosterone production – the most prominent one
being cortisol. On the other hand it increases the testicular output of
testosterone. The net result? An exponential improvement in the Anabolic
/ Catabolic Ratio (the proportion of Testosterone vs. Cortisol) – and
even more importantly - it targets increases in the amount of FREE
(direct) TESTOSTERONE, which is unbound and readily available to exert
it’s anabolic effects on your body! And THAT, my friends, is what
directly leads to huge increases in massive, rock-hard muscle. (Not to
mention your sex life will go on turbo as well…you can thank us for that
later!
Here’s the best part: FREE TEST IS NOT A PROHORMONE nor does it convert to any hormone - so it is completely safe.
So, if you were bummed when the prohormone ban went down…don’t be. We’ve got you covered.
Here’s a little of the “techie” stuff about how it works:
- FREE TEST positively alters 7 homeostatic mechanisms of action that effect free and total testosterone output:
- Contains a natural suicide inhibitor of aromatase, and will
improve the Testosterone : Estrogen (T:E) profile while concurrently
increasing testosterone levels
- Increases NO/cGMP levels, which leads to increases in lutenizing hormone (LH) and greater endogenous testosterone production.
- Increases testicular Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALCAR) levels. High
testicular ALCAR levels are conducive to heightened spermatogenesis.
- Lowers levels of cytokines IL-6, IL-1, and TNF-alpha- cytokines,
which inhibit endogenous testosterone production by reducing levels of
LH.
- Lowers cortisol levels and heightens Testosterone : Cortisol (T:C) ratio via competitive inhibition processes.
- Increases cAMP levels, which also increase LH levels.
- Influences/Increases androgen receptor (AR) binding via altering receptor electro-negativity.
After 8 weeks of usage of FREE TEST, test subjects
were observed to have increased levels of free testosterone ranging from
50-200% over baseline. Impressive results for any product – especially
one with no negative side effects!
Furthermore, the subjective feedback from the
FREE TEST
beta testers was nothing short of amazing. Within the first week users
experienced feeling more motivated and assertive with shirt-splitting
pumps, big-time strength increases, and revved up libido…all within the
first week!
EFFECTS RELATED TO PHYSIQUE AND LIFE ENHANCEMENT:
- Greater lean muscle mass
- Lowered body fat
- Better/Faster recovery from training
- Increased muscular strength
- Heightened libido and sexual drive
The basics of how FREE TEST works:
The main mechanism of action in FREE TEST has to do with the
anabolic/catabolic ratio in skeletal muscle, catabolic principles, and
how they relate to homeostasis. During an anabolic steroid or
prohormone cycle, testosterone levels rise, creating an anabolic state;
as the testosterone to cortisol ratio (T:C) will become very positive.
(See Figure 2: Notice the separation between the blue and pink lines at
the beginning of the cycle). This allows for increased protein
synthesis, and increases in lean body mass. However, due to homeostatic
mechanisms in the body, cortisol levels begin to rise along with the
increase in testosterone after the first 1-2 weeks (Note how the blue
and pink lines come closer and closer together). The body seeks to gain
balance (homeostasis) over the increased anabolism via modulating
cortisol levels. The body recognizes that it cannot be in a state in
which it requires such large amounts of nutrients for protein synthesis
and lean tissue accretion for very long (a very high positive nitrogen
balance), so it essentially tries to put the brakes on, via increasing
cortisol levels to meet heightened testosterone levels (53).
This phenomenon occurs during every cycle and it is why, after week 6
of a cycle, gains slow dramatically, or stop altogether due to the
homeostatic rise in cortisol. When this occurs, the user has one of two
options: (1) Cessation of the cycle, followed by post-cycle therapy
((PCT) - note the pink line above the blue in wks. 10-12, indicative of a
catabolic state), or: (2) Increase the dosage, and take the level of
testosterone up even higher (not recommended for safety reasons).
Neither option is very good for keeping gains. The mechanism of action
of Free Test seeks to circumvent this via manipulating the T:C ratio via
non-androgen receptor mediated means. One key ingredient, 3, 7 keto
DHEA plays a key role in accomplishing this. Here’s how it works: 7-Keto
derivatives competitively interact with the 11beta-HSD1 enzyme, which
is the enzyme that allows the transfer of inactive glucocorticoids to
active ones. This is important as it therefore helps keep cortisol
levels lower than normal by slowing (but not stopping) the conversion of
inactive cortisol to active cortisol - allowing for mitigated levels of
this catabolic hormone. (46-48).
Non-androgen receptor (AR) mediated methods of increasing testosterone
are extremely crucial to the inner workings of Free Test. Another
mechanism of action is that it exerts its effects through deceased
estrogen levels, increased testicular function, and increased levels of
luteinizing hormone (LH) (53). Since these controls are non-AR mediated
(at least not directly), the rise in testosterone is more gradual and
not as traumatic, consequently the body will not try to maintain
homeostasis as stringently as with the dramatic increases seen with an
AR-mediated cycle (see Figure 3 below).
These more gradual increases in testosterone levels allow for
cortisol levels to remain relatively low during the cycle. Additional
factors that directly suppress cortisol further improve the anabolic
ratio (T:C), with anabolism far outweighing catabolism throughout the
cycle, with minimal disruption of hormone levels post-cycle (53).
FREE TEST™ MAIN MECHANISMS OF ACTION:
Regulating Estrogen and Increasing Testosterone via Suicide Aromatase Inhibition: The Role of 3, 7-Keto DHEA:
3, 7-Keto DHEA
is a naturally-occurring metabolite of
dehydroepiandosterone (DHEA), and is a potent aromatase inhibitor with
some very unique qualities. Aromatase is an enzyme that transforms
testosterone into estrogen, and the more active aromatase is, the more
estrogen will ultimately be present. Therefore, aromatase inhibitors
significantly decrease the level of estrogen in the body. This is
important as increased estrogen in men can signal the hypothalamic
pituitary testicular axis (HPTA) to shut down the release of
gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). GnRH signals the production of
luteinizing hormone (LH), which signals the production of testosterone.
Therefore, increased estrogen levels can lower endogenous testosterone
production (21,29,31).
3, 7-Keto DHEA
has demonstrated strong ability to lower
estrogen, thus mitigating this effect. It has a high binding affinity
(Ki value = 0.22 mM) to the aromatase enzyme, and binds in an
irreversible manner, making it a suicide inhibitor of aromatase. Ki
Values measure how efficiently a compound binds to its associated
receptor. The lower the Ki value; the higher the binding affinity. This
inhibition allows for the production of less estradiol (E2) and estrone
(E1) and allows the user of the compound to maintain a higher level of
testosterone; hence improving the Testosterone: Estrogen (T:E) ratio.
The mechanism through which aromatase inhibitors raise testosterone is
fairly simple; the HPTA senses low levels of estrogen, and because the
body seeks to maintain homeostasis (it likes to maintain at least some
estrogen, even in men), there is a concurrent increase in the amount of
testosterone that is being produced, as a way to compensate for the low
estrogen levels. The increased testosterone levels normally will result
in increased estrogen since there is no estrogen being produced.
Essentially, the brain is tricked into trying to produce more estrogen,
so it releases more luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) and
subsequently more LH, leading to even higher testosterone levels
(20,21-23).
All aromatase inhibitors share this characteristic of positively
altering the T:E ratio, and all will raise serum testosterone levels in
men, which has been referenced in numerous studies. 3,7-Keto DHEA is
comparable in potency to several other commonly available aromatase
inhibitors. As explained above, a lower Ki value means higher potency,
making it more potent than both Formestane and Exemestane, and very
similar to androstentrione (ATD) (31,55). (See Figure 5)
3,7-Keto DHEA
is unique from other commonly used
aromatase inhibitors in sports supplements in that it is a natural
metabolite of 7-Keto DHEA and it cannot directly bind to the androgen
receptor. 3,7-Keto DHEA (like 7-Keto DHEA) also cannot convert to
testosterone, estrogen, or progesterone via any type of enzymatic
reaction, so by strict definition it cannot in any way be considered a
prohormone. This clearly differentiates it from other recently banned
products that allow for the direct conversion to a controlled substance
in the body (in either in trace amounts or full-scale conversion). This
can not occur with 3,7-Keto DHEA, as it is formed naturally in humans
from 7-Keto DHEA and can be readily found in humans in the amount of
5-7 ug/day (23-24).
Increasing luteinizing hormone via elevating nitric oxide and
cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate (cGMP): The role of Acetyl-L-Carnitine,
Resveratrol, and their interaction with the male reproductive system and
StAR:
FREE TEST™
strongly influences testosterone production
through the nitric oxide pathway and cGMP by increasing luteinizing
hormone levels. Luteinizing Hormone (via receptors found on the surface
of Leydig cells) is important as it controls the production and
secretion of testosterone (1-4).
The inclusion of
Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALCAR) (a
derivative of L-Carnitine which is an amino acid that is crucial for
fatty acid metabolism and male reproductive function) allows for this
manipulation of cGMP, as does Resveratrol. cGMP is classified as a
second messenger, meaning that it exerts its effects by acting in a
manner secondary and in response to a first messenger signaling
molecule. When a first messenger signaling molecule binds to a cell
surface, another secondary pathway is activated that increases cGMP
production (1,15,19,27).
Increasing cGMP is extremely important to the action of FREE TEST, in
that increased cGMP levels equate to increased levels of luteinizing
hormone (LH). LH has a stimulatory action on endogenous testosterone
production; so when cGMP levels increase, so do LH levels, and when LH
levels increase, so does endogenous testosterone production. This
effect has been well documented in recent research on PDE5 inhibitors
(compounds that increase cGMP levels such as slidenafil (Viagra®).
Researchers found that high cyclic GMP levels ultimately equate to
higher testosterone levels.
ALCAR
has also been shown to be an acetate donor to
coenzyme A, allowing it to aid in the synthesis and function of
acetylcholine, both peripherally and centrally. 7-Keto derivatives of
DHEA (like 3,7-Keto DHEA) antagonize GABA-A receptors and functionally
increase cholinergic expression. Through this mechanism of action,
ALCAR and 3,7-Keto DHEA can increase cGMP levels, through increasing the
amount of available acetylcholine- as mentioned above, more cGMP, more
LH, more testosterone. (18,20,32).
ALCAR
levels are very important for testicular
function, in that low testicular ALCAR and L-Carnitine levels are
strongly associated with testicular dysfunction and infertility.
(28,30,33)
ALCAR
has also been shown to have a significant effect
on increasing Leptin levels, and has also been shown to be a potent
factor in the male reproductive system. Leptin releases LHRH
(luteinizing releasing hormone) by activating nitric oxide synthase
(NOS), an enzyme that speeds the formation of nitric oxide (NO) from the
amino acid L-Arginine. LHRH controls the release of luteinzing hormone
(LH), and greater amounts of LHRH release equal greater amounts of
luteinizing hormone (LH) release, which can allow for higher amounts of
endogenous testosterone. Therefore, by increasing leptin levels and
boosting LHRH release, ALCAR can have some additional positive effects
on endogenous testosterone production (1-4,18).
L-Carnitine, ALCAR,
and several derivations thereof
have been shown to elevate Nitric Oxide (NO) levels. NO is important in
that it regulates vascular tone, central nervous system stimulation,
induces the release of LHRH and regulates cGMP levels. ALCAR and 7-Keto
derivatives of DHEA have also been shown to elevate acetylcholine
levels, which allow for a concurrent increase in cGMP production. NO
also activates the release of LHRH which reaches the pituitary and
activates the release of gonadotropins via the activation of neural NO
synthase (NOS) in the pituitary gland (1-4, 15, 33-34).
The fact that cGMP has a stimulatory action on steroidogenesis via
increased LH production is an important one. In numerous pathway
studies, increases in cGMP increased phosphorylation of the
steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR). Increased
phosphorylation of StAR is important, in that (StAR) is a Leydig cell
cholesterol transfer protein that provides the building blocks for
testosterone synthesis. Increased phosphorylation allows for increased
StAR activation, and increased StAR activation is necessary for the
stimulation of steroidogenic enzymes involved in the transfer of
cholesterol to testosterone. This increase in StAR, and the greater
transfer of cholesterol to testosterone can result in greater endogenous
testosterone synthesis (15,33-34).
By increasing the intermediary between these two processes, a resulting
positive shift in anabolism can occur. Therefore, high cGMP levels also
equate to high levels of luteinizing hormone (the hormone responsible
for mediating endogenous spermatogenesis), and when cGMP levels are
elevated it serves as an intermediate in the signaling cascade that
ranges from LH binding to testosterone production (15,33-34).
These results suggest that cGMP contributes to the control of basal
steroidogenesis (endogenous testosterone production) in Leydig cells
through the protein kinase G (PKG, and enzyme responsible for the
activation of second messengers) -dependent modification of the StAR
protein and interaction with LH. LH controls the production and
secretion of testosterone, and the subsequent binding of LH with its
receptor allows signaling through the cyclic AMP pathway through GTP
binding proteins. Signal transduction occurs through the protein kinase A
pathway as its principal signal transduction mechanism, and this
ultimately allows for the release of testosterone after 30-60 minutes of
LH stimulation (15-17,33-34).
To summarize, FREE TEST™ contains several potent direct mechanisms of
action that strongly influence the production of increased testosterone
via the NO / cGMP pathway, through a cascade of regulatory proteins and
second messengers.
Forskolin and Resveratrol: Increasing endogenous testosterone production via increasing Cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels:
Forskolin has been the subject of research in the supplement industry
since the early 1980s. Scientific studies have discovered that along
with increasing thyroid activity and thermogenesis, forskolin is also a
potent anabolic. This occurs primarily through elevation of 3,5 cyclic
adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) which is another second messenger that is
important in hormone signaling (14,16).
cAMP elevation is a crucial piece of the puzzle in creating both an
anabolic and thermogenic state, and forskolin is one of the best
compounds available for triggering dramatic increases in cAMP levels.
One study showed that forskolin was able to increase cAMP levels 4.82
times more than a placebo. Another study demonstrates that forskolin
can raise cAMP levels in fat cells. This is important because it
demonstrates the ability of the compound to enhance lipolysis; meaning
that forskolin exerts powerful fat-burning effects as well as being a
potent anabolic agent; plus forskolin can also enhance endurance
capacity as well (5-10,14,16).
Another added bonus of forskolin and resveratrol are that they both
increase cAMP independently of epinephrine, thus providing increased
energy without the need to take any type of traditional stimulant.
Increased cAMP also is a signal for steroidogenesis (testosterone
production) in the Leydig cells of the testes by increasing levels of
steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR- as mentioned above)
(14,16,36-38).
As mentioned earlier, StAR activation is necessary for the
stimulation of the transfer of cholesterol to testosterone. By this
process, and the fact that high cAMP levels also equate to high levels
of luteinizing hormone, significant increases in endogenous testosterone
production can occur along with a resulting increase in anabolism and
protein synthesis (14-15).
Numerous other studies have shown parallels between increased cAMP
levels and increased anabolism, and a ground-breaking 2005 study in The
Journal of Obesity Research found that obese men taking 250 mg of 10%
forskolin a day for 12 weeks (roughly the dosage included in the daily
dosage of Free Test™) experienced an averaged 33% increase in free
testosterone levels, averaged a 10 lbs. fat loss per person and
increased lean mass an average of 8 lbs! A 2001 study by Badmaev (see
Figure 6) also yielded similar results (6,8,54).
Quercetin is a citrus bioflavanoid that has been shown to boost the
effects of resveratrol (this is the primary rationale for its inclusion
in the formula) via prevention of precocious glucorindiation
(deactivation of the compound) by the liver. Similarly, quercetin has
also been shown to have some estrogen-antagonizing effects. Quercetin
has also been shown to have some additional anti-oxidant effects, and
has been shown to lower cortisol levels in several animal studies.
Lastly, the combination of resveratrol and quercetin also has been shown
in some cellular studies to actually destroy fat cells. (39,40,44)
Mitigating the factors that decrease testosterone, and how FREE TEST™ combats them via N-Acetyl-Cysteine and Selenium:
FREE TEST offers yet another benefit in the production and elevation of
free testosterone, as it serves as a strong anti-oxidant in the
reproductive system.
Cytokines are substances secreted by the immune system that carry
signals between cells, and have effects on the function of many
different bodily systems, including the function of endogenous
testosterone modulation (25-26,35). Cytokines can be disruptive to the
endocrine system, in that they can be involved in feedback inhibition
during the production of testosterone, which can result in a downgrade
of natural testosterone production. Under conditions such as systemic or
testicular stress, the systemic and local (within the testis) amounts
of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF, IL-1, and IL-6) will be increased
significantly. Elevated amounts of cytokines can therefore be associated
with decreased testicular function. Elevated levels of these cytokines
will effect the endocrine system and alter the amount of hormones
released by the system (mainly GnRH, LH and FSH), which regulate the
spermatogenic process. Cytokines (mainly IL-6) can also significantly
raise cortisol levels, which can also lead to a reduced anabolic
stimulus (13,25,35).
In addition, Pro-inflammatory cytokines can suppress the cells of the
testis, and lead to a decrease in spermatogenesis and thus to affect the
function and/or viability of the testes in the production of
testosterone (33-34).
A recent study involving men taking a combination of
N-Acetyl-Cysteine (or NAC, a precursor to glutathione), and selenium, (a
trace mineral that has been shown to have direct effects on the
biosynthesis pathways of testosterone), found that the combination of
the two compounds has a mild synergistic effect on increasing
testosterone levels in men. Selenium is rate-limiting in testosterone
production in men, and if not enough selenium (selenium deficiency is
very common) is available, testosterone will not be produced in optimal
levels (25-26,49). The researchers also believe that the combination has
an antioxidant effect in the testes via increasing glutathione levels.
Glutathione is a tripeptide thiol found in all cells of the body, and
is responsible for regulating protein synthesis and detoxifying cell
structures. Selenium is needed for the detoxifying enzyme glutathione
peroxidase, and NAC significantly increases glutathione levels.
Increases in glutathione and glutathione peroxidase seem to be
negatively correlated with cytokine release; as levels of these
anti-oxidants increase, cytokine levels decrease. This effect is
readily apparent in the male reproductive system, as several studies
have shown that NAC can reverse testicular damage cross-indicated with
cytokine release and cytokine-related testicular suppression. This
characteristic alone promotes conditions that are extremely favorable
for optimal testosterone production (25.49).
Modulating glucocorticoid and cortisol: Another way FREE TEST™ preserves the anabolic environment:
Glucocorticoids are a class of hormones that bind to the glucocorticoid
receptor, and serve to prevent inflammation in the body. Cortisol is the
most prevalent of the glucocorticoid hormones. It is a corticosteroid
produced in the adrenal cortex of the kidney, and is used by the body as
a response to stress. The release of cortisol is controlled by
adreno-corticotropin-releasing hormone (45-47, 53).
Cortisol does have some benefits; for example cortisol is necessary for
obtaining an optimal response to stimulant products, along with many
body processes. The main function of cortisol is to increase blood
sugar, but it can also counteract several different anabolic hormones in
the body, including insulin and testosterone, thus acting in a
catabolic function by tearing down muscle tissue when it is present in
excessive amounts (53).
A negative Testosterone:Cortisol (T:C) ratio essentially starves muscle
cells of nutrients by reducing muscle glycogen and potassium and
weakening the immune system which can cause a general loss of muscle
mass. A positive T:C ratio is necessary to produce an anabolic
environment in the human body (53).
7-Keto DHEA, DHEA, and most derivations of this molecule have been found
in many research studies to have the ability to significantly reduce
glucocorticoid levels by altering cytokine levels, as discussed earlier
in this article. They also modulate the negative immune effects of
glucocorticoids on skeletal muscle that occur via competition for the
11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 enzyme. The finding from initial
pilot studies strongly suggest that 3, 7-Keto DHEA will produce potent
immuno-modulating and cortisol-lowering effects similar to or possibly
even greater than those associated with 7-Keto DHEA (22-23,45-47).
One of the aforementioned means through which 7-Keto DHEA and its
metabolites serve this function is via acting on 11beta hydroxysteroid
dehydrogenase 1 (11beta-HSD1), which is an enzyme that converts inactive
glucorticoids to active substrate. 7-Keto DHEA and its analogs have
been shown to compete with inactive glucocorticoids for the 11beta-HSD1
enzyme, thus reducing the conversion of inactive glucocorticoids to
their active, muscle-catabolic form via receptor site antagonism. A good
example would be a reduction in the conversion of cortisone to
cortisol, which is a process dependant on the 11beta-HSD1 enzyme. 7-Keto
DHEA has been shown to reduce this conversion; thereby lowering
cortisol levels (45-47).
FREE TEST™ creates a superior binding environment for existing
androgens: The role of Zinc and Magnesium in promoting a better binding
environment for Free Testosterone:
Magnesium has been shown in more recent studies to inhibit the binding
of steroid hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and free testosterone. SHBG
binds free testosterone and allows it to be excreted from the body
without binding the androgen receptor. Magnesium keeps this from
happening by altering the binding affinity of testosterone to SHBG, and
thereby allowing for increased amounts of free testosterone to remain
active in the bloodstream (41-43).
Other human research has shown that supplemental magnesium, when taken
along with other ingredients like DHEA and Zinc, can significantly
increase free testosterone. Low magnesium levels have been found to be
correlated with high cortisol levels, and this can lead to a negative
skewing of the T:C ratio (20,41-43) .
Zinc is involved in over 200 enzymatic reactions, allowing for the
action of several different hormones: GH, testosterone, and insulin all
require zinc for synthesis (42-43,53).
The inclusion of these elements in FREE TEST allows for greater numbers
of androgen receptors and a better binding environment for testosterone
in skeletal muscle, hence creating a better target for circulating free
testosterone and allowing for greater binding of testosterone to the
additional receptors. All of these factors contribute to the multiple,
synergistic mechanisms that lead to the dramatically increased protein
synthesis, better recovery, and increased muscle mass users experience
while taking FREE TEST.
Administration, Timing, and Dosing:
Under normal conditions, diurnal cortisol levels tend to be highest
shortly after waking, and these levels tend to decline during the day,
reaching their lowest point in the evening. Although cortisol levels
tend to decline during the day, stressful events punctuate spikes into
said decline (see Figure 9). Similarly, diurnal testosterone levels
tend be highest in the early morning, and tend to wane as the day goes
on, also spiking in a periodic fashion. Taking this into account, the
timing of the Free Test™ dosage is crucial in contributing to the
effectiveness of the product (53).
Dosing the product within 1-2 hours of waking will allow the product to
be most effective, in regards to both diurnal hormone regulation, and
also the relative half-lives of the compounds included in FREE TEST™.
This will allow for a reduction in heightened cortisol levels associated
with diurnal fluctuations, and will allow for a continued time period
of increased testosterone levels, for up to 12-18 hours after the AM
dosage (See Figure 9).
A second dose of the product most likely will not be required later
in the day due to the inclusion of 3, 7-Keto DHEA, as suicide aromatase
inhibitors normally only require dosing every 18-24 hours (21-22).
A dosage of 4-6 Capsules per day of Free Test™ is recommended, with food, within 1-2 hours of waking, depending on body weight.
Research involving blood testing of free and serum testosterone levels
indicates heightened levels of testosterone within 1-2 weeks of the
first dosage, with increases occurring up to weeks 3-4, and possibly
longer (55).
FREE TEST can be run for much longer periods of time than conventional
prohormones due to its effects on endogenous (naturally produced)
testosterone, and the fact that it does not directly antagonize the
androgen receptor. Instead, the product minimizes the homeostatic
mechanisms in your own body that lower testosterone levels, and
increases testosterone via secondary mechanisms of anabolism
(manipulation of T:E and T:C). This allows the user to be able to run
the compound for longer periods of time, up to 4-5 months while
remaining safe and effective.
