SUS 500 Replacement

So, I went to the GET (Genetic Edge Technologies) web-site to find out a little more about the company. I mean they re the ones that made SUS 500 and everyone liked the results that they got off of that! So I wanted to see if they had anything new and improved coming out and to learn a little more about the company. Well there personal web-site wasn’t of much help. I could since that the pro-hormone banned really hurt them. From the looks of it they have two muscle building products on the market, Deka 750 and Arimadex.

Deka 750 is very similar to Hard Fx by AX and Animal Test by Universal. The main ingredient is D-Aspartic acid, which has a lot of science behind it but little hype in the forums for right now. And the Arimadex as many of you already know, is a high quality PCT and/or natural test booster.

Personally I don’t think many of you would be very content with the Deka 750, if you’re looking to get results like SUS 500. Deka 750 is more along the lines for males that are over the age of 30 and are looking to naturally boost testosterone levels. If you are looking to put on serious size and muscle, take a look at Bolasterol. Though some might have heard of this, many of you need to try it. The reason why many people liked the SUS 500 was because it put on size with little water retention, this is what Bolasterol can offer you!

Bolasterol is a unique blend of, Superdrol, di-Methylzine, Max LMG- all products are used for putting on lean hard muscle mass. With this product you will quickly notice your shirts are getting tighter and your muscles getting harder.

If you’re looking to find a replacement for SUS 500, do some research and find that Bolasterol is your next cycle.

USPLabs Prime is LEGIT!!!

Many times men you take pro-hormones or different forms of testosterone boosters are looking to put on size. Kind of a ‘no duh’ type of remark I know, but what many men don’t realize is that when taking these products too early you can shut down your testosterone production and have problems later on. Sure the gratification of throwing up 400lbs on bench is great, but not being able to get your wiener up when your 40 is going to suck! So how do you find the product that will put on size and strength and allow you not to have problems as you get older. One product to look into is Prime by USPLabs.

I know many of you are thinking that Prime is just Tribulus, but you need to realize that prime is not the tribulus that you by off of the shelf in a health food store. Tribulus Aquaticus contains active components called glycoside. These glycosides are believed to exert their anabolic effects through non androgen receptor-mediated mechanisms, perhaps by processing anti-glucorticoids activity. Studies have shown hat these glycosides allow retention of nitrogen and either a decline in the catabolic process related to skeletal muscle or an improvement in protein synthesis; the end result of which is increase muscle mass. People who take this product notice:

  • Muslce Gains
  • Re-Composition
  • Strength Gains
  • Rapid Recovery
  • 24 hour fullness/hardness
  • Endurance

By the end of your cycle you should have put on some serious, REAL muscle mass. It will be thick and dense, not simply water weight. Some subjects had even noted their asthetics have changed and they now have a V-taper that they've never had before. You will have more muscle (thick and dense) with a more athletic build. Don’t miss your opportunity on getting results that you desire without the long term negative side-effects.

What is Pro-Anabol by ALRI?

When getting off a cycle of Pro-Hormones your body isn't able to process the protein like it once did. To keep you body anabolic you need to help keep your nitrogen retention high and your protein synthesis in high gear. Many people have turned to ecdysterone for this reason. Everyone has heard of ecdysterone and ecdysteroids and knows that they do have “some” benefits, however, they are found, even at high doses, to be relatively mild. Notably, they have a pure pro-anabolic effect with no androgenic side effects, but again due to issues of absorption and bioavailability- as well as transcriptional factors (information given by a compound at the receptors) they have not panned out in the real world use of athletes and bodybuilders. Actually it is the cholesterol side chain of ecdysteroids that inhibits the possibility for any degree of notable androgen receptor (AR) stimulation and obviously as well potentially higher potency and transcriptional activity. For a steroidal structure to properly engage the AR-receptor there must be a hydroxyl group at the 17 position of the compound. Let’s see if I can explain that a little better.

An AR-receptor is like a lock in that it takes the right key to actuate its mechanism. So if the wrong key or compound is inserted into the lock or receptor then it is not going to open the door you want it to. In the case of ecdysteroids, the area of the key that needs to be re-structured so it works in the receptor is at carbon-17 by way of adding a hydroxyl group.

ALR Industries brings you with their patent status MDHR the very first highly bioavailable and truly potent derivative of a naturally occurring plant based ecdysteroid. The base compound is called Dihydrorubrosterone, a naturally occurring ecdysteroid that is notably absent of the cholesterol group at position-17, but has a hydroxyl group at the all important 17-position. Furthermore, we have added a17-position methyl ether to increase both the bioavailability and overall potency. And a real plus is no liver stress like that realized from use of some of the older pro-hormone products. The result is a highly pro-anabolic compound with excellent oral bioavailability.

The revolution of the ecdysteroid has arrived with MDHR and you won’t find this type of ecdysteroid anywhere else as it is a patent status exclusive to ALR Industries.

Our next heavy hitter is a very potent and very deliberately produced proprietary extraction from the well known Maca plant, also known as Lepidium Meyenii, we have called Macabol. We are not going into great detail on what we have done here to maintain our proprietary intellectual property and unique advantage, but to put it mildly we tweaked out some highly potent pro-anabolic, energizing, and lipolytic properties from this herbal wonder. Libido and recovery are also shown to be markedly enhanced in almost all users. We really do not have to say much as you’ll feel it- no doubt!

Whether used alone or in combination with other ALR Industries products, Pro-Anabol will help both men and women reach their goals without par. The revolution continues with the Evolution of sports supplements that is ALR Industries!

Regulate your Hormones/ Jungle Warfare Extreme

ALR Industries is always looking for the next best thing, and they have put a new spin on an older product. Jungle Warfare is back and better than ever! With ALR's crazy science formula's we will take a look at the ingredients in Jungle Warfare. Jungle Warfare is used as a natural way to boost testosterone levels, and or with a PCT.

One of the ingredients is, Basella alba. Though the herb has been used in folk medicine for centuries and sold as a supplement for more than a few decades there really has not been much valid human research on the herb itself. So naturally there has not been much research on the active compounds it provides- when harvested from the right places and during the right time of the year.

In one study “Bull testes from the slaughter house were a cheap source of pure Leydig cells. In culture, these cells produced testosterone for 5–6 days, which can be stimulated by human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG). Basella alba extracts significantly enhanced testosterone production in bull and rat Leydig cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Hibiscus macranthus showed no androgenic effect but was shown to inhibit testosterone production at higher concentrations.” When the most active fraction found in Basella Albra Rubra extracts was tested alone there was a 2 fold increase in testosterone production (200%).

In another rat study Mature male albino Wistar rats (180-220 g) were given by gastric intubation Hibiscus macranthus Hochst A ex Rich (Malvaceae) and Basella alba L. (Basellaceae) aqueous extract from both fresh and dry leaves, at a dose equivalent to 0.720 or 0.108 g of plant, respectively per kg body weight. Results showed that the extract from fresh leaves significantly increased the body weight of rats by 17% from day 7 as compared to controls. The serum level of testosterone was significantly increased on the 15th day by 80% in rats given both types of extracts compared to the controls. Testis of treated rats showed high testosterone production in vitro (136% and 62%, respectively for treated and control after 15 days. So we know it’s the fresh leaf extracts that is far more effective by over 2-fold. Now, imagine if your extraction method allowed for fractionation mentioned in the above study in favor of the actual compound that triggers the dramatic increase in natural testosterone. (Of course we isolated the actual “most active fraction” in our extractions. We are researchers and scientist, not kitchen sink formulators). But this does not mean that oral bio-availability is optimal due to just a unique and specific extraction method.

Divanil 95%, (-)-3,4-divanillyltetrahydrofuran A.K.A. DVTHF: are all synonyms for a specific lignand extracted or concentrated from nettle root (stinging nettle) that inhibits the actions of a protein called SHBG. The compound works very well for its intended purpose but it oral bio-availability sucks as well as does its plasma half-life. We fixed that but more on that later.

So how does (-)-3,4-divanillyltetrahydrofuran do its thing? For the most part your circulating testosterone is bound to a plasma protein called Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) which renders it inactive. As a rule SHBG normally binds over 90% of your total testosterone so that it can’t do it muscle and male signal thing by way of merger with androgen receptors (ARs). (-)-3,4-divanillyltetrahydrofuran is a lignand found in stinging nettle, which binds to SHBG allowing your testosterone to be freed so that it binds to Androgen Receptors for muscle recovery, performance and growth. This lignand shows very high binding affinity for SHBG about equal to that of DHT. Although free (active) testosterone is significantly elevated and maintained at the appropriate time-release dose, so is total testosterone. Naturally estrogen and estradiol are lowered! End result is a significant and functional increase in both total and free testosterone.

Nettle Root (Urtica dioica) Concentrate: So why would we add this if we already have the most active SHBG binding lignand (-)-3,4-divanillyltetrahydrofuran? Simple, we like the affects of a lignand metabolite called enterofuran as well as a few others that have several studies supporting the belief both inhibit DHT binding to prostate tissue thus hinder the effects of BPH. Keep in mind DHT is a powerful natural androgen and it drives everything from sex to focus to energy and of course, muscular augmentation plus performance support. Additionally, enterofuran too inhibits SHBG binding to testosterone thus supports an increase in free active testosterone.

Resveratrol: So now we have established a significant and results providing level of both total and free testosterone, it may be a good idea to increase it more while inhibiting estradiol activity and elevation as well. Resveratrol is a well known estrogen receptor antagonist meaning it’s like your little brother when you try to put some game on your date: It blocks any action from occurring. However, Resveratrol is also a powerful aromatase inhibitor (AI) thus not only perfect for blocking the estrogen receptors from various estrogens, it also inhibits aromatase enzymes. This means that the aromatase enzymes capacity to convert that manly testosterone into girlie estrogens is inhibited significantly. This mean you are harder and realize additional increased natural testosterone production by acting upon the pituitary gland. When this occurs the pituitary releases a hormone called letinizing hormone (LH) which in turn tells the testes leydig cells “More Testosterone”! One of the problems with Resveratrol is the same as many herbal related compound: Too short of a half-life. In this case Resveratrol possesses a half-life of about 14 minutes, which sucks if you are expecting a physiological benefit. Unfortunately Resveratrol has poor oral bio-availability. Yes, we corrected the problem and will explain later.

Bitter Melon Extract: Bitter melon is also known as Momordica charantia. Many interesting physiological qualities have been attributed to different parts of the plant from from hyperglycemic and insulingenic to androgenic properties which appear to be similar to a SARM in action and another study shows a significant increase in natural testosterone resulted. The latter has only been validated in rats at this time though we certainly are looking forward to doing human studies since it has been in use as a food, folk medicine for centuries and as a supplement for about 60 years. We have included Bitter melon in Jungle Warfare Extreme for both its positive affects upon glucose clearing (more cellular glycogen for more ATP, better pumps and increased protein synthesis) and its SARM-like affect. Talk about formulary synergy!

Conjugated Coleonol Extract: This originates as a 95% extract from Forskolin. Then we conjugate the fractionated extract utilizing our IR/EXR ME Time-release Maximal Oral-Bioavailable process resulting in a complex several times more effective than forskolin itself. Our major interest is in the significant up-regulation in cAMP production realized from this unique compound and process. Increased cAMP results in greater receptor sensitivity so that all of this maximized natural androgen levels we have created has a far more dramatic effect upon body composition you will see in the mirror and feel in the gym, track, ring, court or field you achieve you goals on. Higher levels of cAMP increase fat expenditure, lean mass augmentation, recovery, focus and of course noted strength.

As you can see there is a definite positive physiological altering synergy at work here between the Action/Reaction Factors each of these compounds and their fractions provide for us and from the formulary as a whole. We have carefully researched, structured, tested and utilized a Patent Pending IR/EXR ME Time-release Maximal Oral-Bioavailable Pro-hypertrophic Proprietary Matrix. This is a process that allows for an immediate release up front with a sustained time-release of neutrceuticals that allows for nearly a 9 hour half life. Second our matrix allows for extreme oral bioavailability you can feel and see in real results not just hype. There is no knock-off that compares nor are there any new discoveries for other companies to claim as theirs on our labels.

How should I take Pro-Hormones

Many in the supplement industry, Arnold among them, argued that the proliferation of powerful products such as M1T would eventually result in negative publicity to attach itself to the supplement industry as a whole and considered it madness that such products had been introduced on to the supplement market. These doomsayers were proven right and eventually the US congress passed into law the Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 2004 which effectively classed all the prohormones then on the market as illegal drugs on a par with anabolic steroids. By early 2005 they had been removed from the market in the United States.

Since the removal of the first generation of prohormones in 2005, various supplement companies have worked hard on creating products which can provide a sizeable anabolic effect while complying with the requirements of the 2004 law. One of the most important considerations was to ensure that not only did they manufacture a product that was effective and legal, but also safe, as the wave of methylated prohormones released in the wake of M1T were certainly of doubtful safety given their widely noted negative effects on a range of body tissues, most notably liver values.

As a result of the innovations in the industry since 2005, we now have a number of products on the market which have been around for some time and in favor with bodybuilders and athletes alike.

So here we come to the part where readers ask 'which is the best prohormone to take and when?' It is not possible, nor advisable, to offer specific advice on such a subject. People need to consider their own objectives and risk factors before taking any prohormone. Generally speaking, all we can say is that it is advisable to start with a mild steroid first and keep doses low, typically for 3-4 weeks. For a novice this will still lead to excellent gains. It is critical in our opinion, that an estrogen blocking product should be held ready at the start of a prohormone cycle. Users unworried about estrogen can take it for 3-4 weeks after the end of their cycle. Those concerned about estrogen, should employ it both during and after. In this respect, Havoc and Epistane make good choices as they negate the need for an anti-estrogen during the cycle, due to the fact they are inherently anti-estrogenic. Still, even with them, an estrogen blocker should be applied after all cycles with prohormones.

Assuming a good clean diet is eaten, normally the only advice we would recommend is to increase protein intake to at least 2g of protein per pound of bodyweight. So for a 200lb individual, 400g of protein a day. Given the fact prohormones are all oral in nature, we recommend increasing water intake also and employing the use of a liver protectant such as silymarin and N-acetyl cysteine, along with fish oil dosed at 6g a day. Those who are particularly anal may want to consider taking their prohormones with grapefruit juice. In theory, this will help increase their gains via inhibition of enzymes that break down drugs leading to enhanced absorption.

Prohormones are powerful compounds with the ability to impart significant gains in muscle and strength mass. We hope this article has provided some useful information for you to help understand their benefits, applications and how to structure their use within your overall training and dietary plan.

Where did all the Prohormones go?

Since the removal of the first generation of prohormones in 2005, various supplement companies have worked hard on creating products which can provide a sizeable anabolic effect while complying with the requirements of the 2004 law. One of the most important considerations was to ensure that not only did they manufacture a product that was effective and legal, but also safe, as the wave of methylated prohormones released in the wake of M1T were certainly of doubtful safety given their widely noted negative effects on a range of body tissues, most notably liver values.

As a result of the innovations in the industry since 2005, we now have a number of products on the market which have been around for some time and in favour with bodybuilders and athletes alike. To make things easy we will refer to the compounds by their brand names:

The One – (17a-methyl-etioallocholan-17b-ol-3-hydroxyimine)

The One was developed by Applied Nutriceuticals and is a prohormone of Dihydrotestosterone.

Effects – Being a prohormone to DHT, The One can be expected to be notably androgenic, resulting in dry, muscle gains with an absence of water retention and solid gains in strength.

Side Effects – Being that it converts into DHT, The One can be expected to be tough on the hairline as DHT is the hormone most responsible for hair loss. As it does not convert to estrogen or progesterone, side effects related to those should not be an issue. Liver toxicity would remain a concern though and it would be a good idea to take this product with something to support health liver function.

1,4 AD Bold 200 – (1, 4 Androstadiene-3, 17- Dione 200mg)

Made by I Force Nutrition, 1,4 Bold 200 is a precursor to the compound Boldenone (Equipoise) which has a very long history of use in bodybuilding circles and is highly regarded for its ability to increase muscle mass with minimal side effects.

Effects - Bold 200 has the advantage of being non-methylated making it a first choice along with Furazadrol, or Finavol for newcomers to the prohormone field who are typically concerned about liver toxicity. Users typically can expect to notice improved muscle gains which will come steadily and less dramatically than other compounds, as well as an improved appetite and increase in vascularity.

Side Effects – There is a comparatively low risk of both androgenic or estrogenic side effects and being non-methylated makes it an ideal choice for those concerned with liver health. It also makes it ideal for use in a stack with stronger, non-methylated prohormones such as dymethazine.

Finavol – ( Estra-4,9-diene-3,17-dione)

Sold by a number of different brands, including Competitive Edge Labs (X-Tren), and Chaparral Labs (Trenavol) Finavol is APS Nutrition’s version of this compound. This product has Dienolone as a target hormone and is non-methylated, making it safer on the liver and an excellent choice as part of a prohormone stack.

Effects – Finavol is well suited to athletes looking for muscle gains with an increase in vascularity and strength that are compared as qualitatively similar to the compound Trenbolone. It is a noted lean mass builder.

Side Effects – Tren products can negatively impact upon libido in some people.

Furazadrol – [5a-androstano(2,3-c) furazan-17b-tetrahydropyranol ether - 50mg]

Furazadrol was developed by Axis Labs as an alternative to methylated prohormones such as Havoc or Dymethazine. As a non-methylated compound it will appeal on the grounds of being very safe and is often used by beginners new to prohormones either alone or in a stack with Bold 200.

Effects – Furazadrol has a high anabolic to androgenic ration meaning muscle gains with low risk of androgenic side effects. It does not convert to estrogen meaning gains will be lean in nature, with an absence of water retention.

Side Effects – Although the risk of side effects is low, it is usually required to be dosed in dosages of 200-400mg a day making it quite expensive. Given its otherwise favorable profile it makes an excellent choice for someone looking to stack with another prohormone.

Cynostane – (2-cyano-17a-methyl-17b-hydroxy-androst-3-one - 10mg)

Cynostane is a brand new prohormone which features an alteration of the superdrol compound, with a cyano bond instead of the 2a-methyl superdrol bond.

Effects – Cynostane, developed by Anabolic Innovations, is an extremely anabolic compound with remarkably low androgenic action, making it qualitatively similar to the likes of Oxandrolone or Methenolone (Primobolan). It is non-aromatizing meaning it will not produce estrogen mediated side effects and its high degree of anabolic action makes it a favorable choice for athletes concerned with losing bodyfat while maintaining, or increasing, muscle mass. From feedback to date, Cynostane has very potent recomposition effects making it ideal for athletes and when dieting. If using to bulk up, calories would need to be increased considerably.

Side Effects - Bloodwork conducted by users shows that Cynostane has a more favorable effect on blood lipids, and liver values than superdrol itself. Although feedback to date is limited, the combination of low androgenic action, lack of aromatization to estrogen, and low level of general health effects, makes cynostane an intriguing newcomer to the prohormone world.

Protodrol

Protodrol was introduced by I Force Nutrition, designed to be a less toxic compound than some of the older prohormones on the market. Daily dosage is 50-75mg a day.

Effects – Protodrol is considered to be a potent mass builder, with a low incidence of side effects being very favorable on both liver and lipid profiles. As it does not convert to estrogen, Protodrol will impart muscle and strength gains with an absence of water retention. As such it is a very versatile compound which can be used for both bulking, recompositioning and dieting.

Side Effects – Protodrol was designed specifically to provide a bulking compound with a low risk of side effects so the only side effects you could expect to have would be those associated with all prohormone products.
