What is Turkesterone?

Turkesterone, otherwise known as Ajuga Turkestanica Extract, is a form of ecdysteroid. Ecdysteroids are naturally occurring steroid hormones found in plants and insects. Research has shown them to be highly effective at building muscle and enhancing performance and recovery.

Turkesterone may help with increasing lean muscle mass, muscle recovery and strength via multiple biological processes.

Turkesterone works via a completely different mechanism than other anabolic agents; it works independently from testosterone – it works via the Estrogen-Beta 2 receptor which means taking Turk is not going to have any negative down-regulation effects on the bodies own (endogenous) testosterone production ; No HPA-T Axis disruption.

Turkesterone Benefits

Muscle Growth & Repair

Turkesterone being an ecdysteroid , has been shown to improve muscular growth and repair via increased muscle synthesis. Unlike pharmacetical steroids, Turkesterone acts to significantly improve muscular growth & repair without the negative effects of conventional steroids. In fact, through it’s effect on ER-beta, IGF-1 and AKT pathway, Turkesterone can stimulate muscle protein synthesis by up to 20% 

Muscular Strength & Performance

Turkesterone has been shown to improve circulation, nitric oxide, reduce cortisol, reduce myostatin (a inflammatory cytokine that slows muscle growth) as well as stimulates IGF-1 and growth hormone. All of which helps you lift heavier and perform better

Liver & Kidney Health

Unlike conventional steroids which often damage the liver & kidneys.  Turkesterone has no damaging affects on either organs. In fact, studies have shown it to help with normalizing glomerular levels in the filtration of the kidney (which is a good thing).  As well as improve liver health by increasing the conversion of cholesterol into bile which aids in  fat matabolism and liver regeneration

Brain Health

Turkesterone has been shown to improve brain health via its ability to increase levels of super oxide dismutase (SOD) andvascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) as well as angigenesis and neurological recovery
