Conclusion:
Aromasin can completely prevent estrogen rebound and suppress aromatase activity, whereas arimidex cannot due to the difference in class and molecular bonding types in the binding sites.
Aromasin can double free testosterone levels in males in just 10 days of treatment, whereas arimidex takes about 3 months.
Aromasin causes less negative side effect than Arimidex under long term supplementation
This blog will teach you everything you need to know about the differences between aromasin and arimidex in dosage, on cycle, PCT and their side effects, as well as the bodybuilding community's assessment of their potential benefits.
What exactly is Aromasin?
Aromasin is the brand name/trade name of a pharmaceutical product manufactured by Pfizer. Aromasin's main active ingredient is exemestane, also known as EXE, which is a new generation of FDA-approved legal steroidal selective irreversible aromatase inhibitor.
What exactly is Arimidex?
Arimidex is the brand name/trade name of an AstraZeneca pharmaceutical product. The main active ingredient in Arimidex is anastrozole, which is a new generation of FDA-approved non-steroidal selective reversible aromatase inhibitor.
Main differences: Aromasin vs Arimidex
(I). Class: Type I inhibitors - Steroidal (Aromasin) vs Type II inhibitors Non-Steroidal (Arimidex)
Aromatase inhibitors are classified based on their relative potency. In vivo studies define potency as the ability to suppress both circulating estrogen levels and aromatase activity. They both interact differently with the aromatase inhibition process.
(II). Aromatase interactions
Type II AIs (Arimidex) form a noncovalent bond with estrogen in order to bind its site and prevent/minimize binding activity with androgens. Because of its noncovalent interactions, the weak bond formed does not share electrons. As a result, this aromatase process is thought to be reversible and thus easily displaced by another substrate during the equilibrium reaction.
On the other hand, Type I AIs (Aromasin) is structurally related to androstenedione compounds, which are the natural aromatase substrate to the active site of the enzyme interaction and halt activities. Exemestane is converted during the process to an intermediate that forms covalent bonds with the estrogen corresponding site. This covalent reaction is irreversible, and the bonding is much stronger than a non-covalent bond.
As a result of its ability to have a powerfully irreversible reaction during the equilibrium aromatase reaction, Aromasin is also known as a suicide inhibitor.

(III). Side effect: Aromasin vs Arimidex
The most common and serious side effect of any type of aromatase inhibitor is bone mineral density (BMD) loss, also known as poor bone strength (osteoporosis) in more severe cases.
When estrogen levels are too low, bone mineral density suffers, and fractures may occur if aromatase inhibitors are taken on a long-term basis.
According to a study published in The Lancet Oncology [3], aromasin (25 mg daily) has a less negative effect on bone mineral density loss than arimidex (1 mg daily) after comparing changes in BMD in the lumbar spine and total hip areas among treated women.
How to avoid
Aromagin, a PCT product designed and manufactured by Mega Muscles, is complexed by a powerful antioxidant compound called "L-cysteine derivative." According to one study [4,] it has a suppressive effect on overall bone mineral loss caused by a decrease in endogenous estrogen levels.
As a result, using Aromagin as estrogen blocker/anti estrogen/aromatase inhibitor supplements can provide the aforementioned benefits over other products. In our bodybuilding progress, it can reduce the risk of BMD loss while providing organ support and stronger aromatase inhibiting effects than arimidex.
Dosage on cycle or during pct or for gyno
The dosage of both AIs on cycle and during pct is discussed in the following sections and supported by clinical studies.
Aromasin
At 25 mg daily, the results of a clinical study were promising. The graph below depicts different averaged hormone concentrations after 25 mg and 50 mg daily on 12 young males on day 10. In the separate table at the site of reference source, the percentage change of free testosterone was also greater than 100 percent.
Figure 1. Experimental study of Aromasin dosage: on cycle, pct or for gyno [1]
Arimidex
In most clinical studies on elderly men, a 1 mg tablet is used as the standard dose to lower estradiol levels and thus increase bioavailable testosterone.
According to the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology article Effects of aromatase inhibition in hypogonadal older men: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial [2], the percentage change in free testosterone level was greater than 100% at the third month of treatment. At third month, it reached their peak level.
Pricing
Mega Muscles offers only $49 in a discounted price for the flavored fast-acting aromasin liquid – Aromagin. Customers can also buy 2 get 1 free extra bonus.
Summary
Aromasin can completely prevent estrogen rebound and suppress aromatase activity, whereas arimidex cannot due to the difference in class and molecular bonding types in the binding sites.
Aromasin can double free testosterone levels in males in just 10 days of treatment, whereas arimidex takes about 3 months.
Aromasin causes less negative side effect than Arimidex under long term supplementation
Bodybuilding
They are all approved AIs and have the ability to inhibit estrogen activity for the purpose of accelerating bodybuilding. Aromasin appears to be a safer, better and more effective option for bodybuilding purposes based on the above literature review.

When buying the (–)-epicatechin supplement, buyers should be careful of the content (purity) of the compounds present in the supplement. A poor quality epicatechin supplement lack high purity content as well as the negative symbol "(–)" indicating the optical activity of the stereoisomer's chemical structure.
Figure 1. Click here to check out (–)-Epicatechin powered Pre-Workout - Pre-Workout+
Traditional epicatechin supplements come in pill/tablet/capsule form and must be purchased and ingested separately with pre-workout in order to generate an extra "pump" effect and additional workout benefits.
Instead, Pre-Workout+ contains a high amount of (–)-epicatechin and other essential ingredients in a single product.
Buying guideline for (-)-epicatechin supplements
When shopping for (–)-epicatechin supplement, buyers should be careful of the content (purity) of the compounds present in the supplement. A poor quality epicatechin supplement lacks high purity content as well as the negative symbol "(–)" indicating the optical activity of the stereoisomer's chemical structure. YOU MAY PURCHASE A “COUNTERFEIT” EPICATECHIN SUPPLEMENT IF THEY ARE NOT LISTED ON THE SUPPLEMENT FACT OF THE LABEL.
Buying (–)-epicatechin
A high-quality (–)-epicatechin supplement should include at least 90% purity of (–)-epicatechin. However, due to chemical oxidation throughout the production process, exceeding 95% is quite difficult. Mega Muscles' (–)-epicatechin supplement, on the other hand, approaches more than 95% purity of the component. The purity result produced from the Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrum can be given at customer request for large volume orders.
(–)-Epicatechin powered Pre-Workout is a new type of epicatechin supplement that is coupled with standard pre-workout with high affordability, luxury and quality; thus, it is referred to as "Pre-Workout+." Pre-workout+ also mixes with the (–)-epicatechin stereoisomer, (+)-catechin.
(–)-Epicatechin bodybuilding
With the presence of both compounds, it can provide a dual additional "PUMP" effect for users to advance to the next level. Furthermore, it contains another premium substance, Trans-resveratrol, which is derived from grape skin. It has the ability to reduce blood vessel stiffness. As a result of the triple impact of (–)-epicatechin, (+)-catechin, and resveratrol, the pump administered at each serving will have an ever-increasing effect.
(–)-Epicatechin half life
(–)-Epicatechin (EC) is found in a variety of foods, including tea leaves, apples, pears, and cocoa. It is commonly found in tea alongside (–)-Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) and (–)-epigallocatechin (EGC) and is then chemically separated. These substances' half-life in the body are ranked as follows:
EGCGt1/2 > EGCt1/2 > ECt1/2
(–)-Epicatechin stack
(–)-Epicatechin has recently become a popular supplemental compound to stack with other lean muscle building supplements, such as 5-alpha-hydroxy-laxogenin, to increase effectiveness for lean muscle building process.
Laxogenin and Epicatechin Stack
Figure 2. Click here to check out laxogenin and (–)-epicatechin stack
Lean Muscle Stack by Mega Muscles is a laxogenin and (–)-epicatechin stack. In the Pre-Workout+, there is a combination of 100 mg/ml laxogenin liquid and 500 mg/per serving (–)-epicatechin supplement. In terms of oral bioavailability, it is the finest quality, excellent tasting, and most cost-effective laxogenin and (–)-epicatechin stack available today. Please keep in mind that liquid supplements have higher bioavailability than other forms since the supplement ingredients have smaller droplet sizes for quicker absorption.
Benefits
(–)-Epicatechin is a well-studied chemical with several anti-oxidant properties. It is always said in the exercise or bodybuilding process that it can improve the outcome of the training by increasing peak anaerobic power, anaerobic capacity, and reducing fatigue.
As a nitric oxide precursor (as known as eNOS)
It stimulates endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and nitric oxide generation in endothelial cells via calcium dependent/independent eNOS activation. As a result, (–)-Epicatechin is also known as a "nitric oxide precursor."
Assist the muscle building process
Numerous academic investigations have demonstrated that (–)-epicatechin has substantial evidence of having characteristics that aid in muscle development. The explanation for this is that it can lower myostatin and β-galactosidase levels. Myostatin is a protein found in muscle cells that inhibits muscle cell development.
Does (–)-epicatechin work?
Consuming 1 mg/kg bodyweight of (–)-epicatechin for 7 days increased bilateral grip strength by around 7% and resulted in a favorable shift in the follistatin-to-myostatin ratio. As a result, the usage of (–)-epicatechin supplements to inhibit myostatin activity has emerged as a new trend as a dietary supplement to promote muscle growth.
Treatment of hypertension
(–)-Epicatechin supplementation can increase circulatory nitric oxide bioavailability by preventing the development of arterial hypertension in the left cardiac ventricle, resulting in a nitric oxide dependent vasorelaxation effect. As a result, it improves erythrocyte deformability.
Assistance in combating Type 1 diabetes and obesity
(–)-Epicatechin supplementation has been shown to have appetite suppressant properties. It aids in weight loss and the reduction of food intake in people on a high-fat diet. It, on the other hand, benefits Type 1 diabetes by increasing plasma insulin levels while decreasing glycosylated hemoglobin concentrations and mean arterial pressure.
Side effect
There have been no reported side effects by any users, according to numerous research-based clinical studies. (–)-Epicatechin supplement is a source of abundant flavonoid in cacao, which is a group of polyphenolic compounds with a well-known safety profile. As a result, it is a novel, risk-free, and effective bodybuilding dietary supplement for lean muscle development processes.
Dosage
At a dose of 1 mg/kg, studies show that bodyweight can be reduced with a higher rate of fat burning, while 100 mg daily for 3 months can help patients with type 2 diabetes and heart failure. Furthermore, the effect of (–)-epicatechin is dose and time dependent, ranging from 10 minutes at 1 μmol/L. Therefore, the more you consume, the more effective it becomes.
The pre-workout+ from Mega Muscles contains 3000 mg L-Citrulline, 3000 mg L-Arginine, 1500 mg beta alanine, 1000 mg D-Glucurono-Gamma-Lactone, 1000 mg L-Tyrosine, 1000 mg Taurine, 500 mg (+)-catechin, 500 mg (–)-epicatechin, 350 mg caffeine anhydrous, 250 mg theobromine, 50 mg Astragin®, and 25 mg trans-resveratrol. The total weight of each serving is 25.50 gram.
Summary
Pre-Workout+ is the most affordable and includes the most premium (–)-epicatechin supplement on the market today for assisting in the muscle building process. The flavor of the pre-workout+ and the (–)-epicatechin infusion provide extra pump and benefits to take your workout to the next level.

4-Andro is a non-liver toxic, legally anabolic prohormone supplement containing 4-Dehydroepiandrosterone (4-DHEA), also known as 4-androsterone, for bodybuilding and athletic enhancement.
The supplement can help users increase their rate of lean muscle growth, prevent muscle fatigue, and recover from soreness. Furthermore, because of its nitrogen retention property, users can rapidly increase muscle mass during their workout routine, increase strength in weight lifting, and promote the formation of all types of blood plasma. As a result, it appears to have anti-aging properties.

Furthermore, because of its nitrogen retention property, users can rapidly increase muscle mass during their workout routine, increase strength in weight lifting, and promote the formation of all types of blood plasma. As a result, it appears to have anti-aging properties.
Main ingredient of 4-Andro
4-Andro's main ingredient, 4-Dehydroepiandrosterone (4-DHEA), is a positional isomer of the DHEA compound. The chemical structural modification of DHEA reduces its thermogenic properties (calorie burning) while increasing its androgenic, anabolic properties and endothelial nitric oxide synthase activity by increasing its binding affinity to human muscular receptors.
4-DHEA is a precursor of human steroid hormones that is converted to testosterone by the enzymes 3-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 17-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. It converts to testosterone more quickly than regular DHEA supplements.
Review of next generation of 4-Andro – 4-Androgin
Improving DHEA solubility and bioavailability is a longstanding academic hot topic. According to numerous clinical studies, large doses (>100 mg) per serving are required to increase the circulating growth hormones in the bloodstream to promote anabolism of muscular cells.
A high dose, on the other hand, will result in poor solubility and bioavailability of the compound.
To overcome the low bioavailability, Mega Muscles designed and manufactured 4-Androgin using the most recent scientific formulation that can dramatically increase membrane permeability and dissolution property by diffusing the particles into the bloodstream. 4-Androgin contains the micro-ionized 4-Andro particle in the flavored liquid.
The delightful flavor also allows you to consume it sublingually, allowing the supplement to enter your bloodstream directly, avoiding the digestive system's first pass effect and thus minimizing supplement content loss.
Benefits of 4-Andro in bodybuilding
Now, we all know that 4-Androgin is a next generation of 4-Andro. It is time to take a look at the benefits of 4-Andro:
Modulates endothelial nitric oxide
Enhance nitric oxide production
increase the blood volumetric flow rate – Better pump over any supplements
Drastically improve muscle fatigue and soreness recovery from training
Exhibits antiviral property
Provide immune support against different kind of viruses
Reduced the risk of coronary atherosclerosis
Reduce the buildup of fats and plaques on the inner walls of blood vessel
Reduce pulmonary hypertension, which is a disease of having high blood pressure in the lung
Improve depression, dysthymia and mental health
Anti-aging
Improve nervousness, insomnia and memory
Promote the level of testosterone, androstenedione, and DHT etc. to optimum level
Increase lean body mass
Increase endurance
Increase muscular strength
Increase the glucose uptake rate
Increase the amount of energy available to living cells
Increase the rate of glucose metabolism
Assist in the more effective burning of body fat
Decrease adipose tissue
Prevent Type 1 diabetes
Improve the metabolism of glucose by signaling the pathway of skeletal muscular cells
Promote skin health
Improve bone density
Improve immune system
Improve insulin resistance when combining 4-Andro with enough trainings
Control blood glucose levels
Promote sense of well-being
Promote libido and sexual satisfaction
Accelerate protein synthesis and anabolism
4-Andro vs 1-Andro (1 andro or 4 andro?)
The primary difference between 4-Andro and 1-Andro is that 1-Andro contains the naturally occurring DHEA isomer 1-DHEA. Instead of converting to estrogen or testosterone, 1-DHEA converts to 1-androstenediol and 1-testosterone, both of which are non-estrogenic.
4-DHEA, on the other hand, converts to 4-androstenediol as its first major metabolite and has a mild estrogen and DHT conversion rate. As a result, stacking them together can help users maintain the ratio balance of testosterone and estrogen in your 1 andro 4 andro cycle, allowing you to promote both wet and dry lean muscle mass gain. It will undoubtedly result in a healthier outcome for your muscles.
Potential Side Effect of 4-Andro
Because everyone's body is different, different potential side effects may occur if 4-Andro is consumed in excess. Mega Muscles, on the other hand, has yet to receive any customer complaints. Users would not experience any side effects if they followed our instructions (4 andro dosage and cycle). The following are some of the possible side effects:
Slight acnes may appear
Attitude may become slightly aggressive
Rate of natural testosterone production may be slightly suppressed
As a result, 4-Andro must be taken on and off as needed. Following that, post-cycle therapy is required to reduce the estrogen and restore the rate of natural testosterone production for further promoting user’s lean muscle growth.
Dosage of 4-Andro (4-Androgin)
Most clinical studies have used 50 mg or higher daily, which can result in higher levels of circulating DHEA, androstenedione, testosterone, and DHT, among other things. If a lower dosage is used, the rate of hormones (androgen and estrogen) production will be lower. As a result, a safe and higher dosage, such as 100 mg or higher daily, is required to result in faster lean muscle growth.
Dosage interval and half life
Because of the nature biochemical property of biotransformation into steroid hormones, when 4-Andro is taken orally, the circulating concertation of 4-DHEA in the bloodstream decreases over time.
According to Mega Muscles research and analysis, the half-life of 4-andro for a “WELL OPTIMIZED” bioavailability and solubility 4-Andro product is approximately 15 hours. It had produced approximately more than 70% of steroid hormone intermediates during the half life. As a result, two doses per day would be both cost and time effective in accelerating lean muscle growth.
Cycle
For beginners: Mega Muscles recommends taking 1 mL orally before 20 minutes of exercise because it can increase nitric oxide production. Please use it in three-month cycles, followed by two to four weeks of post-cycle therapy.
For advanced users: Mega Muscles recommends taking 1 mL orally in the morning and 1 mL at night. Please try to space the dosage by at least 10 hours. Please use it in at least 3-month cycles, followed by 2–4 weeks of post-cycle therapy.
For hardcode users: Mega Muscles recommends taking 1 mL sublingually in the morning, 1 mL in the afternoon, and 1 mL in the evening. Please use it in at least 3-month cycles, followed by 2–4 weeks of post-cycle therapy.
Result (4-andro before and after)
It is the quickest and most legal prohormone supplement available today, allowing you to bulk up as quickly as possible without experiencing any side effects. Mega Muscles has many customers who have broken their muscle gain plateau from 175 lbs to 185 lbs in less than a month. Mega Muscles hopes you will be able to do the same.

1-Andro, known as 1-Androsterone or 1-DHEA as main rare ingredient compound, is a prohormone that helps in increasing muscle-building hormones like “free testosterone”. 1-androstenediol is the major metabolite that help in increasing athletic performance, reduce body fat, build muscle, improve healthy red blood cells (anti-aging property), and enhance sexual performance and libido.
1-Androgin is the second-strongest and legal lean muscle growth supplement on the planet in 2021 now.
1-Andro, known as 1-Androsterone or 1-DHEA as main rare ingredient compound, is a prohormone that helps in increasing muscle-building hormones like “free testosterone”. 1-androstenediol is the major metabolite that help in increasing athletic performance, reduce body fat, build muscle, improve healthy red blood cells (anti-aging property), and enhance sexual performance and libido. However, it was banned prior to the 2004 Steroid Control Act.
There is not much information available over the internet about the safe usage of 1-Andro and what potential side effects it can cause other than improving muscle-building hormones. Based on our customers’ experience, we never have any complaints yet because it is not a bio-active form of compound "steroid".
It is an ingredient used in supplement products and widely recognized by professional athletes and bodybuilders that can use it to gain lean muscle mass rapidly to the peak level. Aside from being the derivatives for natural body hormones, 1-Andro also increases the level of natural 1-testosterone to achieve top muscle strength.
Free testosterone is responsible for lean muscle growth and its level decreases as age increases, making your body gain weight easily and harder to build muscles. But once you consume the 1-Andro liquid by Mega Muscles, it will eventually increase the conversion rate and the amount of 1-DHEA into 1-testosterone, which is required to lean muscle growth. So, let us look at this new product recently introduced by the Mega Muscles.
The Best 1-Andro Product - 1-Androgin (Flavored 1-Andro Liquid) Products
1-Androgin designed and manufactured by Mega Muscles is a premium quality prohormone that surpasses all the effectiveness of lean muscle growth supplements at the dietary supplement market. You should know that its ingredients are widely recognized by most bodybuilders and athletes, who are using it to gain lean muscle fast to achieve peak level while improving athletic performance.
1-Androgin is available in liquid drops, making it easier for your body to absorb the vital ingredients effectively. Since it is one of the active prohormones, meaning it can avoid the chances of hormonal imbalance.
Your body will react accordingly to the requirement and covert 1-DHEA into the 1-testosterone hormone required for lean muscle growth. You wouldn’t believe that Mega Muscles has mastered the science behind gaining lean muscle and burning body fat at the same time.
Aside from developing 100% lean muscle growth, this product also aids with minimal water retention. It will naturally boost the percentage of 1-testosterone reproduction and avoid muscle loss.
Mega Muscles's 1-Andro Stack includes the latest generation of Pre-Workout (Pre-Workout+) and 1-Androgin. It is an epicatechin and 1-Andro liquid stack. It is referred to as a "Metabolic Bulking Stack" because it can increase fat burning rate and promote dry lean gain without causing water retention or estrogen conversion.
Before consuming this stack, they are all in liquid form, making this a very fast acting supplement stack for boosting nitric oxide, energy, and supporting the lean muscle building process. You can feel the nitric oxide is huge, insane, and addictive if you consume it before 20-30 minutes of workout.
What Exactly Is 1-Andro Liquid Supplements?
1-Androsterone is one of the legal prohormones available today. It is known for accelerating the reproduction of muscle-building hormones like testosterone, which is required for gaining lean muscle. 1-Androsterone is used as an ingredient in a wide variety of specially produced supplements for bodybuilders and athletes.
Once you consume these supplements, the body will react accordingly to improve several hormones (mainly testosterone). Since after the age of 30, the production of testosterone hormones reduces, leaving your body to gain weight and make it harder to burn fat.
With increasing concern about staying fit in the 30s, Mega Muscles has introduced their powerful 1-Andro liquid supplements; 1-Androgin is the king of prohormones. You should know that liquid supplements are absorbed effectively and faster than other supplements, increasing the strength of muscles while burning fat at the same time in people who lift weights.
1-Androgin will provide effective results when taken on a consistent basis as it will improve the health of your red blood cells, lean muscle gain, better metabolism, and effective absorption. When incorporating the 1-Androgin liquid supplement into your day-to-day nutrition requirement, you will experience the difference within a month, and for effective results where all muscle-building hormones are at the optimal level, you should stay consistent for 3-4 months.
But you should consult with your doctor before consuming any supplement in case you have any kind of medical condition because 1-Androgin might have potential side effects when interacted with other medications.
And make sure to follow the directions labels to consume the product with the right quantity. These 1-Andro supplements are manufactured using the unique prohormone available over the market that helps in gaining lean muscle mass and burning fat effectively.
Combing With 4-Andro To Get Better And Balanced Gain
If you are chasing your passion or side hustle in bodybuilding and becoming an athlete, you have probably heard individuals combining 1-Androgin with 4-Androgin to gain lean muscle faster. Most bodybuilders believe combining these powerful supplements will help them to have serious and balanced gains at a faster rate.
Although there are many users who have consumed products at the same time to improve the bulking stack, you should know that further studies are required to learn more about the effectiveness of this combination. You have to consult your doctor before consuming both 1-andro and 4-andro.
Since the properties of both products will be combined and form a strong version of 1-Androsterone, meaning you have to be well prepared in case anything goes sideways. You have to get a strong PCT to lose or recover the gains you have made throughout your journey. However, you should know that 1-Androsterone prohormone is quite expensive, and combining 4-DHEA prohormone will cost you more per your daily consumption.
But if it is not the case, you are spending around a hundred bucks for a complete cycle. Since the results may vary from person to person, it would be better to consume 1-Andro and 4-andro according to the doctor’s prescription.
If you are planning to start the consumption of both prohormones, you better prepare for every potential outcome in advance. And once you have started this cycle, you must stay consistent to see better results.
Mega Muscles has been thriving to provide its customers with premium quality supplements at reasonable prices. All products were under extremely serious quality control to maximize the effectiveness and safety of your cycle. Some studies have revealed that it helps gain some muscle size as it improves the production of growth hormone and ensures that your body reaches optimal hormones in minimal time.
But one should ensure to eat right and train hard enough because it is not a magic serum that you manage to gain muscle mass effectively.
What Are The Advantages?
1-Androsterone is a powerful prohormone that may have potential benefits depending upon your body’s absorption system. However, Mega Muscles have made this quite simple by introducing their latest product, a 1-Androgin liquid supplement, which can be taken sublingually to bypass the digestive system. So, let us discuss the advantages that you can enjoy after consuming a 1-Androsterone liquid supplement.
It aids in boosting the level of 1-testosterone, which is an essential hormone that every person aging above 30 years would need because testosterone hormones are required for rapid muscle growth. Everybody knows that the production of testosterone hormone is reduced after 30 years, making your body gain weight and more challenging to burn down fat.
It helps in bringing the obviousness in the distribution of blood vessels to make your muscle feel aggressive. This means it will make your muscle recovery speed faster because of increased blood flow mass.
Since testosterone is known as a muscle-building hormone, this supplement naturally converts the 1-DHEA components into testosterone hormone. This means you will be able to gain muscle mass and improve your strength.
You would believe that it will enhance the fat decomposition rate to ensure your body gains lean muscle faster. It will make you look more masculine and provide a definition of muscle separation.
The best part is it reduces the muscle recovery time after an intense workout, allowing your body to cool down faster. This means your body will absorb the vital ingredients and deliver them to tired muscles.
Another great advantage of using the 1-Androsterone liquid supplement is that it increases the level of nitric oxide. The nitrogen component combines with 1-Androsterone to maximize the pump in muscles, meaning during intense training sessions, your body will increase the blood supply into your muscle. It will provide you with an extra pump, allowing your body to improve the size of your muscle effectively.
Recent studies have shown that consistently consuming 1-Androgin liquid supplements by Mega Muscles has proved to enhance the athletic performance of individuals. You should know that the 1-Androsterone ingredient is quite popular among professional bodybuilders and athletes.
You can experience all the above-mentioned advantages when consumed in the right quantity. Therefore, it is better to consult with your doctor to know about the right dosage of this supplement to maximize the results. 1-Androgin can provide both cutting and bulking results, so you should take it when you are on a cutting and bulking cycle.
1-Androgin (1-Andro) Performance - Results
Traditional supplements do not allow you to burn fat and gain lean muscle at the same time, but 1-Androgin has proven to provide effective results in developing lean muscles with minimal water retention.
Since it is among the few prohormones that are legal to consume, they actually undergo two stages of enzyme-catalyzed reaction and then converted into essential hormones according to your body requirements, meaning it will not cause any kind of hormonal imbalance.
Once your body reaches its optimal level of 1-testosterone hormone, it will aid in muscle protein synthesis, fat burning, strengthen muscles, and reduce protein breakdown rate. Recent studies have shown that 1-Androsterone helps in boosting the level of bioavailable testosterone hormones that are effective in getting more lead muscles.
And it was recorded that the participants were able to achieve optimal levels after one month by consuming oral testosterone supplements. In the following month, bioavailable testosterone begins to fall back to its equilibrium level. Above all, if you consume the supplement for 3-4 months will enhance the level of hormones to its optimal level, allowing your body to get more lean muscles and burn fat at a fast pace.
What Are The Potential Side Effects?
1-Androsterone supplements contain synthetic androgen that converts 1-DHEA into essential muscle-building hormones (1-testosterone). But one should know that these supplements cause changes in the level of body hormones.
In return for these changes, your body can trigger some common side effects. Sometimes in men, consumption of 1-Androsterone supplements can reduce the rate of natural testosterone production.

Weight loss liquid supplements are more convenient and effective than standard weight loss supplement in pills or tablets form. Here you can learn more our suggested weight loss liquid supplement, which is available over the counter in three pricing ranges: low, medium, and high.
With the increased demand for oral medication, liquid dietary supplements are considered suitable for weight loss and providing your body with all of its nutritional value. The advantage of using a liquid supplement is that your body does not have to expend additional effort in breaking down the substances in order to completely absorb all of the nutritional properties present in them and quickly release them into the bloodstreams.
Nowadays, liquid supplements are most commonly taken by young children and older adults because they have difficulty swallowing some tablets, indicating that liquid supplements are quickly absorbed and digested in our bodies. According to a recent study, liquid supplements are proven to react instantly, providing your body with all of the essential nutrients within a few minutes. However, you should consult a dietician before determining the appropriate dose for your body in order to achieve your fitness goals effectively.
Most of you may be perplexed by the idea of consuming liquid extracts or swallowing tablets/capsules supplements to fuel your body after an intense workout or for nutritional purposes. Here is a list of benefits associated with liquid form of supplement versus capsules or pills form of supplement to help you understand which is better for your body. So, let us look at the advantages of both liquid and tablet supplements.
For starters, a liquid supplement does not require your body to break it down, allowing your system to absorb more material properties effectively. This is the primary reason why liquid extract is commonly more potent and expensive than tablets/capsules. However, when you take tablets or capsules, your body must first break the outer shell down and disintegrate all of the material properties present in the tablet or capsule and convert them into liquid form so that they can be absorbed effectively inside the body.
Liquid extracts can be absorbed into their bloodstreams in as little as 4-5 minutes. Tablets and capsules, on the other hand, can take 20-30 minutes just to break down before your digestive system starts assimilating them.
It has been documented that the body can absorb up to 98 percent of liquid extract and refuel your body in the quickest way possible. When you take capsules/tablets, your body only uses 39-53 percent of the medical properties, providing less nutritional value to your body.
To get any nutrient absorbed into your bloodstreams, it must first be suspended in a solution, or it must be liquid. And herbal supplement in liquid form will be absorbed quickly and completely inside your body, taking less time to show its effects.
Medical research has shown that liquid supplements have higher optimization rates, faster absorption rates, and are easier to digest. When it comes to consumption, liquid supplements have many advantages over pills/capsules.
Although most people, including older people and young children, have difficulty swallowing some tablets. That is why doctors recommend medicating young children and the elderly with liquid supplements, as they are already broken down and effectively absorbed into their bodies.
According to a pilot study that was conducted to evaluate the bioavailability and absorption rates for complex vitamin B-12 in humans, the absorption rate was significantly increased when the subject was dosed with liquid supplement rather than tablets and capsules. You now understand that liquid supplements are more potent, fast-acting, and beneficial than capsules and tablets.
Despite the fact that there are numerous liquid supplements available on the market, so to assist you in selecting the best food supplement for your body. Here is a list of the top liquid supplements that are beneficial and have incredible medical properties, such as high potency, that will help you achieve your fitness goals.

You should be aware that Mega Muscles product allows users to consume it sublingually, which means that your body does not have to break down the liquid supplement and immediately inject it into the bloodstream.
Individuals may take supplements to help them gain muscle mass, and these supplements are known as prohormones. Prohormone assist consumers in burning more fat than their daily limits, which can then be used to build muscle mass. You should be aware that individuals who engage in intense physical training frequently require an individual to have optimum bioavailable testosterone throughout the day to meet the nutritional requirements of the body.
Using a supplement not only allows them to consume more carbohydrates and protein, also allowing them to incorporate more calories into their diet. Most people consume mass gainer in the form of a shaker-style drink, but it is important to note that each mass gainer product contains a different macronutrient value as well as other ingredients such as vitamins, creatine, and minerals. People nowadays are more concerned with gaining lean muscle mass and lowering their body fat percentage.
That is where Mega Muscles Products come in because they manufacture liquid supplements that are easier for the body to absorb all of the nutritional properties instantly and provide effective lean muscle gaining. Unlike other protein supplements, Mega Muscles manufacture a range of supplements that are effective for lean muscle gaining and fat loss because they contain the more fundamental and essential nutrients than proteins and carbs.

Figure 1. Optimal Testosterone vs Low Testosterone
Testosterone is an androgenic hormone that is responsible for the development of male sexual characteristics and external genitalia. However, it functions similarly as an estrogen precursor in females. You should be aware that it also influences behavior and has anabolic properties. It also increases sperm production and sex drive in men. Testosterone is also required for muscle mass and bone density. In theory, testosterone production declines with age. For those who have low testosterone level can have a negative impact on muscle strength, stamina, and libido.
However, for bodybuilder, you should consider getting a bioavailable testosterone test to determine the level of bioactive testosterone in your blood. It is because it has the greatest impact on muscle mass in the body. Furthermore, low total testosterone levels are linked to unfavorable changes in body composition and drastic decrease in libido with age. Sarcopenia, a term to describe loss of muscle mass due to aging, is thought to be caused by a combination of poor nutrition, a lack of exercise, and androgen deficiency.
Recent studies [1] claimed that testosterone treatment had proven beneficial effects on body muscle function and mass, but the results were inconclusive. However, there are several testosterone treatments and therapies that can be used to restore testosterone levels to normal, which should be between 300 and 1000 ng/dl. Low testosterone levels can lead to hypogonadism, a condition in which the human body does not produce enough testosterone on its own.
As a result, testosterone replacement therapy was considered to treat hypogonadism and improve testosterone levels. Although it is unclear whether traditional supplements can help restore testosterone levels. Recent research [2], however, suggests that testosterone supplements, when taken in sufficient quantities, can safely increase testosterone levels in the body.
Nowadays, there are numerous testosterone booster supplements on the market that are made of natural herb extract to eliminate the possibility of any side effects appearing in the body. So, to assist you in selecting the best testosterone booster supplement for your body, here is a list of the top testosterone booster supplements on the market.
Traditional Supplements for Increasing Testosterone Levels
Vitamin D
Figure 2. Food with high vitamin D
A recent study [5] suggested that testosterone and vitamin D are related. It has been observed that men with vitamin D deficiency have lower testosterone levels. The research study concluded that 1 year of daily vitamin D dosage can help in boosting total testosterone level approximately at 25%, free testosterone level approximately at 0.20% increase and bioactive testosterone level approximately at 0.20%. That means that increasing your intake of vitamin D may help you slightly increase your testosterone levels. You can take vitamin D supplements, which come in tablet and spray form.
Ashwagandha
Figure 3. Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha is one of the best natural herbs because its roots and fruits contain a wide range of medicinal properties. According to a recent study on 50 men at different ages over 8 weeks [4], Ashwagandha has a positive effect on boosting hormone levels, which means that individuals who are unable to produce enough testosterone can consume Ashwagandha. Results were shown that there were 14.7% increase in total testosterone level compared to the control at 8th week. You can purchase Ashwagandha supplements online, which will aid in increasing the level of testosterone in your body.
D-Aspartic Acid
D-aspartic acid is a necessary amino acid for the production and release of testosterone. A recent study [3] included 22 men who were given a daily dose of D-aspartic acid for 3 months. The results showed that there were no changes of total testosterone and free testosterone level during the observation. However, more research is needed to determine the results in females. D-aspartic acid supplements are available online, but they should consult with their doctor to determine whether or not they should take this supplement.
Fenugreek
Figure 4. Fenugreek
The fenugreek plant is a member of the Fabaceae family, and a research [6] on 6 men oven 8 weeks has shown that taking a fenugreek extract supplement can help boost testosterone levels. The result in the research showed that the total testosterone was increased at approximately 0.12% and free testosterone was increased at over 100%. As a result, it also aids in increasing both sexual characteristics and muscle mass.
New Supplements for Increasing Testosterone Levels
4-Androgin is the fastest prohormone supplements used for boosting total testosterone and free testosterone. The ingredients allow you to quickly promote your maximum strength, recovery speed and muscle mass. This supplement contains a 4-DHEA (4-Dehydroepiandrosterone) compound in highly absorption flavored liquid formulation, which is known to be naturally produced by the body's adrenal glands and is responsible for the production of natural testosterone. Research study [7] on 9 men over 3 months showed that their total testosterone was increased by approximately 140% and free testosterone was increased by over 250%. Therefore, 4-Androgin is the faster and stronger testosterone booster than the aforementioned traditional testosterone booster products.
Advantages Associated With DHEA Prohormones
Figure 5. DHEA Supplement
According to a book “DHEA IN HUMAN AND AGING” written by Watson [8], DHEA prohormones may benefit people suffering from depression, obesity, lupus, and adrenal insufficiency. Besides, it improves skin health in the elderly and aids in the treatment of erectile dysfunction, osteoporosis, vaginal atrophy, and a variety of psychological conditions.
DHEA prohormone is widely used by athletes who are interested in reversing the aging process and increasing cognitive functions, muscle strength, and immunity. However, there is no subtle explanation to back up those claims and applications.
Most users do not know every detail about DHEA prohormones, but they do know that it works well for increasing the production of female and male sex hormones. It should be noted that testosterone production declines with age, and that precursors aid in the conversion of substances into essential hormones required for libido, lean muscle gain and fat loss. Let's take a look at some of the benefits of DHEA prohormone supplements.
DHEA is also a hormone produced in adrenal gland, which is the precursor for the release of essential hormones. In 1988, three medical oncologists and professors name DHEA as “hormonal buffer”. It is a natural compound that can be used in the case of excessive levels of endogenous androgen or estrogen [8 P.15].
Because of naturally produced prohormones, DHEA prohormone supplement boosts immune system functions [8 P.22]. Everyone inherits different DHEA levels and the level of DHEA decreases as aging. Nonetheless, once you've been taking DHEA prohormone supplements, you'll be able to concentrate on one thing at a time, making it easier to develop a healthy immune system.
As previously stated, most people take this supplement to slow down the aging process and changes in body compositions such as fat depositing, decreased sex drive, and low testosterone levels that reduce muscle mass and strength.
It also improves muscle endurance and allows you to keep your muscles in good shape. As a result, you should only consider taking DHEA prohormone supplements after consulting with your doctor to determine whether the DHEA supplement is appropriate for your body.
Some people believe that DHEA prohormone supplements help to improve mood and memory. Clinical studies have found that the DHEA prohormone supplement have shown significant improvement in treating mental health, depression, mood and memory [8 P.202, P.240 & P.357]
A low serum DHEA level may be the cause of depression, and some evidence suggests that people may be able to recover from medical conditions such as depression and decreased well-being [8 P.351].
Additionally, people who suffer from depression may develop schizophrenia, anorexia nervosa, HIV, and adrenal insufficiency. People should also avoid combining DHEA prohormone supplements with other medications because it can be harmful to their health. [8 P.247]
Recent studies on the effects of DHEA prohormone supplementation on older people found that consuming an adequate amount of DHEA prohormone has a positive impact on the body of older people and allows your body to convert the DHEA compound into bioavailable hormones without increasing the serum sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG). It has been widely shown that bioavailable hormones have a positive impact on weight gain. [8 P.119]
When a person has adrenal insufficiency, which occurs when the adrenal glands are unable to produce sufficient amounts of necessary hormones such as DHEA, testosterone, and so on. As a result, taking a DHEA prohormone supplement may help to alleviate the symptoms of adrenal insufficiency; however, before taking any supplement to treat adrenal insufficiency, consult your doctor to determine the appropriate dosage for your body.
DHEA aids in the reduction of lupus symptoms. Lupus, on the other hand, is an autoimmune disease that can affect the body’s own skin tissues and organs. Thus, taking a DHEA prohormone supplement will increase the amount of DHEA in your body and aid in the reduction of lupus symptoms.
Weightlifters and athletes frequently use DHEA prohormone supplements to improve muscle performance and muscle mass. It helps in protein synthesis and stimulates muscle growth [9].
The Role Of DHEA Prohormone In The Era Of Evolving Bodybuilding Supplement
Figure 6. Enhances Performance of Weight Lifting
DHEA prohormone supplement produces rapid desirable results for bodybuilders and other athletes to change their body composition in a short period of time. With the DHEA supplementation, bodybuilders can accelerate the reduction of their fat percentage and allow building muscles to their peak level, which cannot coexist without the DHEA supplementation.
How Does Our Prohormone Series Of Supplement Work?
Figure 7. Mega Muscles's Androgin VS Traditional Testosterone Booster
Due to the increased demand for testosterone supplements, people are buying traditional testosterone boosters blindly in order to gain muscle mass and strength. However, Mega Muscles has developed an effective formula for rapid absorption with highest bioavailability and affordability in order to provide you with genuine products for skyrocketing your testosterone level without any undesirable side effects like dangerous steroids.
To help you understand why mega muscles products are far more effective than traditional testosterone boosters, the following is a comparison of 4-Androgin by mega muscles and the ultimate leading traditional testosterone booster on the market.
Are Traditional Oral Testosterone Booster Supplements Aid With Bioavailable Testosterone To Gain Lean Muscle?
Figure 8. Total testosterone (Total T), sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), free testosterone index (FTI), and calculated bioavailable testosterone (cBT) respectively vs time by taking testosterone booster for 12 months [10]
Yes, but not as effective as mega muscle products. According to two recent studies [7], two groups of men participated in experimental studies over 12 weeks; some men were given 4-Androgin, while the others were given a testosterone booster (testosterone undecanoate as an active ingredient). After 12 weeks, their blood samples were collected and analyzed, and it was discovered that oral testosterone booster supplement could only keep bioavailable testosterone at the peak level for the first month, after which it dropped back to the equilibrium level and reached the plateau region. That means it is only about 30% effective for the rest of its time.
Does Prohormone Products Aid With Bioavailable Testosterone To Gain Lean Muscles?
Figure 9 (A). Total Androstenedione, (B). Total testosterone and (C). Free testosterone level of 9 healthy men vs time by taking 4-Androstenedione for 3 months [11]
Let us examine the experimental study published by The Journal Clinical Endocrinology And Metabolism. Ten healthy men were given 4-androstenedione, the major metabolites produced by 4-Androgin, in this experiment.
Three tests were performed on ten men who had been given 4-androstenedione for 12 weeks. These tests included total androstenedione, free testosterone, and total testosterone levels. 4-Androgin, on the order hand, not only keeps bioavailable testosterone above the average level, but also results in a more than 200% increase in bioavailable testosterone.
Conclusion
Figure 10. Benchmarks of 4-Androgin And Traditional Testosterone Boosters
This concludes that Mega Muscles supplements are eight times more effective than traditional testosterone booster supplements. As a result, Mega Muscles prohormone supplement series is far more effective and potent than any other testosterone boosters on the market.

It is possible to help you recover significantly from muscle breakdown through a regular diet or by adding few protein-rich food items to your diet. But if you are into strength training and perform a heavy workout, then you will need more protein and other nutrients that are necessary for faster muscle recovery. And this is where supplements come in handy, otherwise, it is impossible to fulfil the nutritional needs from raw food alone.

Non-Steroid Best Supplements For Muscle Recovery, Growth, Strength And Soreness
Figure 1. Non-Steroid Supplements For Muscle Recovery, Growth, Strength And Soreness
Whenever we workout, we are generally training our muscles naturally. During this process, most muscles get weakened during this period, and after the training, these weakened muscles heal and grow in strength and size. However, sometimes, this process can be slowed down due to a substantial break in every muscle cell, which requires longer than average time to recover and commonly referred to as soreness.
This delay in the recovery can trigger issues in your upcoming training sessions, so we can say that timely recovery of weaken muscles is essential for regular exercise and successful workout sessions. Here we will discuss what supplements are helpful for muscle growth, recovery and soreness, as well as how to make sure that your muscles recover properly every time.
It is possible to help you recover significantly from muscle breakdown through a regular diet or by adding few protein-rich food items to your diet. But if you are into strength training and perform a heavy workout, then you will need more protein and other nutrients that are necessary for faster muscle recovery. And this is where supplements come in handy, otherwise, it is impossible to fulfil the nutritional needs from raw food alone.
Body Fluids And Natural Supplements That Promote Muscles Growth
Human growth hormone (HGH) is one of the necessary hormones involved in the muscle growth process, and thus it is vital that your body creates enough HGH when you workout.
Testosterone, or the male sex hormone, is another essential supplement that has a crucial role in muscle building and development. A high testosterone level is vital for a bodybuilder’s rapid muscle growth and recovery.
The insulin-like growth factor is another hormone that is responsible for the healthy growth of tissues and bones, including muscle formation, when combined with growth hormone.
These are the enzymes or bodily fluids which are required for muscle growth. However, these are insufficient for complete muscle recovery and growth. Other supplement needs for adequate muscle development are fulfilled by the food we consume. Let's look into which nutrients in food can help with muscle gain and recovery.
Macronutrients From The Food Items For Muscle Building
Figure 2. Macronutrients
Proteins are the essential macronutrient that is required by muscle growth and recovery. Post-workout meals are generally full of protein as it is crucial in the rest phase.
Calcium is another mineral that is absorbed by muscles as well as ingested by bones and tissues for development.
Glutamine is a muscle tissue that is useful during high-intensity exercise when your body is stressed and it helps you get out of it quickly.
Potassium is essential for transporting water and other macronutrients to your muscle tissues, which are required by muscles to stay healthy and recover from soreness.
Carbohydrates are required to produce glycogen which is used as energy sources by the muscles during and post-workout.
Aside from the nutrients mentioned above, our bodies consume and use a number of other macronutrients for muscle recovery and growth. If your daily diet does not contain sufficient amounts of these nutrients, muscle healing will become hard, and it will take longer to get relief from soreness.
Food Items That Contain Muscle Recovery Essentials
Watermelons are one most valuable food item that can help you in muscle recovery by nutrients like potassium, vitamin A, vitamin C, magnesium, and a lot of water. Also, consuming watermelon will help in getting relief from inflammation, which is common in muscle soreness.
Eggs are high in protein, which is an essential resource for muscle recovery, as well as amino acids, which muscles need for tissue recovery. Raw eggs contain principal, secondary, and tertiary proteins, all of which are beneficial to muscles.
Bananas are high in carbohydrates and potassium. Around the same time, it includes other vitamins such as B6 and C, as well as fiber, which relieves muscle cramps due to the potassium in it, which hydrates the muscle tissue.
Turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties, and when combined with milk, it provides nutrition for regeneration, as well as pain relief from soreness.
Organ meat and fish that provide omega-3 oil and whole protein are both good sources of protein for muscle growth.
Proper nutritional supply will promote faster recovery of muscles, making it easier to avoid the state of soreness. Including certain food in your diet will mean that you get enough of the nutrients you need to repair your muscles after a workout.
Muscle Strength – How Is It Achieved And Affected
When the muscles of the body weaken after a workout, they still recover and get stronger and stronger next time. As a result, it is critical that muscles recover after each split, and multiple supplements are used in muscle growth. Whenever you work out, you should stay hydrated during the day and try to consume a meal within an hour after the workout.
Sleeping or taking a long rest is very important for the recovery. Without rest, the body will not begin the healing process. The significant recovery happens only when you are sleeping, but in order to make it more effective, it is essential that you provide enough supplements to the body before going to sleep.
As food is vital for more substantial muscles, so is proper training, and in order to achieve the best results, you need to train your muscle harder. Hard strength training is essential to make use of the protein and other nutrients absorbed from the food or supplements, as they would otherwise be wasted or lead to weight gain by increasing fat in your body. When you take a supplement for strong muscle growth, burning extra calories each day during a workout becomes even more important.
Creatine Supplements Muscle Tissues Energy
Figure 3. Creatine Supplement
Creatine is although produced by the body itself, but you can also take creatine supplements or intake it through several dietary foods. This molecule is helpful in muscle growth and muscle strength, and when you train your muscles with a regular dietary intake of creatine, it will increase the speed of muscle recovery, and the strength of the muscles will also keep growing. Creatine, which is the best supplements for muscle recovery and soreness, will also increase the muscle's water content, making your muscle tissues a little swelled up, meaning bigger muscles.
Creatine supplements can begin showing their impacts in a shorter time, and thus if you are taking these supplements for the first time, you should measure and control the intake because too much of it can lead to side effects such as diarrhoea, anxiety etc. Also, because creatine attracts water to the muscles, it is important to keep the body hydrated by drinking water and other liquids on a regular basis. As a result, other organs may suffer from dehydration, which is dangerous.
Protein Supplements Are The Safest Muscle Growth Supplements For Daily Consumption
Figure 4. Protein Supplements
If you do not wish your supplement to have any unhealthy ingredient or steroids in it, then you can trust protein supplements. Raw protein supplements are beneficial to muscles because muscle tissue is primarily composed of protein. A protein-rich diet produces better results in lean muscle gain than carbohydrates.
Although protein supplements have minimal side effects, too much protein can go to waste and might lead to digestive or excretory tract issues. If your regular diet already contains enough protein, you should avoid taking protein supplements. Protein powders are hard to dissolve; and as a result, they can adhere to the inner walls of the digestive tracts, necessitating the consumption of more water and liquids when taking protein powder supplements on a regular basis.
Are Weight Gainers The Right Supplements For Muscle Recovery And Growth?
Figure 5. Weight Gainers
Weight gainers are typically high in calories and protein that are intended to increase muscle mass. However, not all weight gainers help you gain weight with lean muscles; in fact, the carbohydrates in them often increase body fat, which is then converted to insoluble fat and stored around your stomach.
Weight gainers are the best supplements for muscle recovery, but they are a good choice only if you are physically active and comfortable burning the extra calories that come with each scoop of weight gainer. Every weight gainer has more carbs than protein, makes it high in calories that, if not burned, cause fat gain.
Amino Acid Supplements – Supplements For Muscle Strength And Endurance
The amino acid can be easily obtained from a variety of protein sources, but many people also consume branched-chain amino acids such as leucine, isoleucine and valine. Amino acids account for more than 12% of muscle content which is a significant fraction to consider, and thus, it is therefore critical to consume an amino-acid rich diet if you want to gain a lot of muscle.
These supplements are ideal for people who want to gain muscle mass but are physically inactive. The supplement will help in both the cutting and gaining phase, as well as the prevention of muscle loss.
Muscle Growth Supplements Also Break Fats Down
Figure 6. Laxogin
Natural Anabolic muscle growth supplements, such as Laxogin, can help both men and women gain lean muscle mass. Skinny people who are not gaining weight on a regular basis can use anabolic muscle growth supplements to achieve their goals, while overweight people can use them to lose fat and gain lean muscle. Such supplements increase the protein synthesis rate, which causes the body to absorb protein quickly, allowing muscles to get more protein in less time, resulting in a faster recovery.
Laxogin, for example, has a dual benefit, making it more suitable for all-around growth. This supplement will not raise your cholesterol levels in the same way that many other muscle gainers do. This supplement only reduces fat, promotes recovery and supports muscle development.
Prohormone Supplements To Enhance Exercise Performance
Figure 7. 1-Androgin
Athletes or bodybuilders use a variety of supplements to improve their performance. Supplements like 1-Androgin promotes the natural production of hormones within our bodies, which eventually improves physical work performance. Taking this supplement, you will have a higher level of testosterone derivative, which increases muscle strength and aggression and aids in the gain of lean muscle by increasing free testosterone levels.
With increasing age, the testosterone levels gradually decrease, and it becomes harder for our body to gain muscle mass or recover weaken muscles after a workout. Thus, if you are over the age of 30, you can expect that your testosterone count is falling, and if you are training at that age, you should take similar supplement to naturally boost testosterone levels.
4-Androgin Workout Supplements For Muscle Recovery Soreness
Figure 8. 4-Androgin
This is yet another prohormone that is ideal for muscle recovery because it contains the 4-DHEA compound. This supplement will also gradually increase testosterone levels at constant rate while reducing the possibility of hormonal imbalance. Rapid muscle development in or after your late 30s is not possible without testosterone boosters, so this hormone booster can assist you in achieving the required optimal testosterone levels.
In addition to gaining muscle mass, males can regain lost libido and increase virility and male confidence in bed and in their lifestyle. Taking this supplement, along with drinking plenty of water and having enough protein-and-amino-acid-rich diet, will yield the desired results in a short period of time.
Supplements That Are Good To Cover The Caloric Deficiency
Figure 9. Epiandrogin
Many people are inefficient at keeping a record of their diet and frequently suffer from calorie deficiency. This can lead to weight loss, and, in the long run, deterioration of health. As a result, if you do not want to face loss of muscle because of calorie deficiency, you can take a supplement like Epiandrogin. This dietary supplement helps you increase DHT levels rapidly, which is incredibly beneficial in weight gain, primarily through muscle mass gain. DHT will also help you burn fat while building muscles.
DHT can also be obtained naturally from foods such as tuna, milk, calcium, vitamin D, and eggs. However, it is not feasible to consume enough food that meet the requirement of DHT. So Epiandrogin supplement can meet that requirement quickly.

Poor eating habits could be preventing you from losing the extra kilos that are keeping you away from your weight goal. Poor eating habit doesn't just means eating unhealthy or overeating, but also under eating and dieting for weight loss is also equally wrong. First of all, you need to realize that eating is also necessary for weight loss, and you need to work upon the food items that will help you cut out the fat.
Figure 1. What to Eat Before A Workout for Weight Loss
For Enhanced Productivity
Poor eating habits could be preventing you from losing the extra kilos that are keeping you away from your weight goal. Poor eating habit doesn't just means eating unhealthy or overeating, but also under eating and dieting for weight loss is also equally wrong. First of all, you need to realize that eating is also necessary for weight loss, and you need to work upon the food items that will help you cut out the fat.
You can make it even better if you eat certain ingredients before the workout as such items will provide you with enough energy for exercising and act as an agent that makes the body fat easier to cut. This can include natural food items or supplements like 1-Androgin, a highly metabolic supplement for weight loss, speed up recovery and gain muscles simultaneously.
Fat Burning Foods – To Be Eaten Before Weight Loss Workout
Figure 2. Fat Burning Foods
One might claim that a weight loss diet should be free from carbohydrates and only protein is necessary for a pre-workout diet. But to complete a workout efficiently, you would require carbohydrates more than anything, which should be complex to produce the energy needed for completing the exercise. Protein is not easily breakable and needs time to supply energy, but carbs are quickly broken inside the body to supply instant energy.
Still, this does not mean that you can go easy on carbs, but you should limit it to an amount that is sufficient for the workout and not excessive. A balanced pre-workout meal can include the following food items to maintain the calorie limits while providing all required nutrition.
Protein bars with the adequate calorie count that you are allowed to eat are good pre-workout food that will give you all nutrition required during the workout and after the training.
Nuts can be eaten before a workout as they contain simple fat, which is a source of slow energy. Make sure you control and measure the proper serving of nuts for calorie count.
Bananas are the most favourable food item for workout and are just the right pre-workout food as it has the potassium and glucose. Also, banana oxidation capabilities let your blood vessels open up more and pump you during the workout.
Fat-free smoothies or Greek yoghurt can also be taken before the workout as they are packed with proteins from the berries, and you can also add chia seeds to the meal for pre-workout.
The food items mentioned above can have several nutrients and varying calorie count; thus, you should consult your paediatrician or diet planner regarding the amounts of these items you can intake before the workout. Avoid taking food like soft drinks, white bread, beans etc., as they contain refined carbs and not complex carbs. For weight loss, you should only take complex carb food that will only work to provide energy and not weight gain.
Understanding The General Facts Regarding Weight Loss Diet
Any weight loss meal, pre or post-workout, should contain less fat and only limited calories but needs all other macronutrients that are essential for the proper functioning of the body. Beginning with glucose, a pre-workout diet can contain enough glucose that will produce a sufficient amount of energy for exercise.
Whenever you consume fat, it takes more than 4 hours to digest glucose, and protein-digesting time is around 3hrs while it takes 2hrs to digest carbohydrates. You can now conclude what type of food should you take before the workout, and the closer you are to training, the fewer calories you should be taking.
When we exercise, the blood is rushed towards the part involved in the workout, and if we eat food, the blood runs towards the stomach. Therefore, we should avoid doing both things simultaneously, and an adequate gap should be there between these tasks.
What If You Avoid A Pre-Workout Meal Or Exercise With An Empty Stomach?
Figure 3. Exercise With An Empty Stomach
When we exercise, our body calls for several nutrients like glucose, sugar, carbs, or you can say instant energy to perform all workout activities. This energy can only be derived from food or the muscle tissues presented in our body. If you exercise on an empty stomach, your body will put more strain on the muscles tissues and absorb the required energy from the tissues.
This will deteriorate your health as your tissue will be broken instead of burning fat, and if you lose weight this way, it means you lost the muscle mass and not the fat that was supposed to be removed. So, one should never exercise with an empty stomach and try to eat or at least drink milk or have a banana before workout.
Some Food Items That One Should Not Include In A Pre-Workout Meal
A pre-workout meal has to be easily digestible, and it is essential that the meal you had before the workout is broken down, digested and the nutrients are absorbed before you begin exercising. Otherwise, it will feel like weighing you down during exercising and decrease your rate of productivity. People often prepare a heavy fruit or milkshake with several ingredients to consume before a workout without understanding any of the ingredients' digestion rate.
Avoid taking fried food, carbonated drinks, beans, cabbage, cauliflower etc., before the workout as they take time to digest and therefore interfere with your exercise.
You should avoid doing that and only consume light and digestible food items or smoothies before working out. And, if you do not have any pre-workout food item available, you can use 1-Androgin, which is a pre-workout supplement that needs to be consumed orally or sublingually through the dropper. 1 mL of this supplement would be enough to take before a workout. One should not exceed 3 mL daily.
Taking this supplement, your body will achieve adequate bioavailable 1-testosterone, which will support in gaining lean muscles and getting rid of unwanted fat rapidly. You should consume enough water when using this supplement and only take this during your cutting cycle; however, this can also help in the bulking cycle.

How To Gain Muscle Mass Fast At Home With The Least Supplements
Figure 1. How To Gain Muscle Mass Fast
Muscle gain is generally considered an easily achievable task as people believe that eating some carbs and lifting some weight would do for that. But when you are actually into it, you will notice that after some initial muscle buildup in a month or two, the body will stop showing any progress in the direction.
This has a reason:
To build up more muscles, the body requires more diet and more efforts.
But it is not that easy to keep increasing your diet as well as keep increasing more weight on lifting machines as it has its limits. So, at this point, people shift to steroids and supplements as they are easy to consume and highly concentrated with required nutrition and protein for muscle gain. But there are some techniques and specific programs that you can gain muscles without consuming steroids or supplements if you follow.
This includes certain food items and exercises that will give your muscle buildup an extra boost required to break the threshold and begin muscle gain once again. Following these techniques, you will be back at making noticeable changes in muscle mass. Let’s start with the food items first and then discuss the exercises in the context.
Food Habits And Ingredients For Muscle Gain At Home
Figure 2. Food Habit Warning
Muscle gaining is not possible if your diet is not adequately nutritious, and not only it has to be filled with proteins and carbs, but you also need to follow a complete plan or timetable of meals. Your schedule depends on the exercise routine you follow and the time of exercise, but here we will suggest you a general diet plan that beginners can follow to gain muscles.
Firstly, you would need to include several small meals between the breakfast, lunch and dinner which should be full of protein and it would be better to have drinks like protein smoothies in these meals. Let’s see some food items that should be included in these meals to help you achieve your muscle gaining goal.
Eggs should be your best friends if you are serious about muscle gaining as they are an inexpensive source of protein and required nutrition like vitamin B, amino acid, particularly the acid leucine, which is vitally essential for muscle gain.
Chicken breast is another best food item that has protein levels and isn’t expensive. In every 90 grams of chicken breast, you can find over 25gm of protein. Besides protein, you will find B vitamin as well.
If you are concerned about increasing weight with muscle gain, you can choose fast-digesting foods like Greek yoghurt, a dairy item full of protein but only helps in lean muscle gain.
Soybean is a food item that supplies protein, unsaturated fats and vitamin K and iron. The ample amount of iron is what makes this bean perfect muscle gaining food item for women. Half a cup of cooked soybeans can be enough for one of your small protein meal.
A spoonful of peanut butter with or after every meal should be complimentary as whatever meal you take. This will add extra calories to each meal and provide protein, carbs, unsaturated fat and amino acid supply.
Home Exercises For Beginners Willing To Increase Muscles
Figure 3. Home Exercises
As a beginner, your muscles would take some time to cop up with the newly started habit of exercising, and thus it could initially pain when you are done with the workout. Therefore, we would suggest beginning with light exercises like jogging, pushup, crunches, etc., which would increase your stamina and make your muscles ready for an intense workout.
People would argue that running and similar exercises would decrease their weight and not gain some, but it only eliminates unwanted fat and helps gain lean muscle mass. Also, the stamina that you will develop by running would help you during intense weight lifting exercises.
One might find pushup ineffective and not worth it, but the truth is that pushups are that one exercise where the muscle gain begins. And for home muscle gaining, pushups are an essential workout exercise, and once you become easy with regular pushups, you can make changes to it to increase difficulty, which will make your chest and shoulder muscles strong.
Pull-ups are the one crucial exercise that you need to get experienced with as it is the benchmark to progress. Most people fail at this exercise, and once you can easily do 10 to 12 pushups continually, you can say that you are making progress and your muscles are getting stronger.
Similarly, dips or shoulder dips are another workout exercise that could be complex initially, but once you begin to perform multiple dips, your shoulder, triceps and chest muscles would eventually grow along, and noticeable progress would be made.
Essential home gym equipment like resistance bands, pull-up bars, and a set of dumbbells can help you extend the number of exercises, which will support fast muscle gain.
Supplement For Fast Muscle Mass Build
During the muscle mass gaining program, your body might begin to ask for additional nutrition and more protein supply that you cannot provide through natural food items because you are already taking several meals. It can be hard to add more meals at such times, and it is also not possible to fulfil the daily nutrition requirements with raw food.
Meanwhile, you can take muscle gaining supplements designed and manufactured by Mega Muscles, which contains all essential ingredients that incredibly accelerates your lean muscle mass gain. Also, they are free from any stimulants that can harm you on regular consumption, which outweighs the benefits of a muscle mass supplement. You can trust Mega Muscles supplements that are only composed of safe and healthy ingredients to boost energy, recovery, strength, libido, rate of protein synthesis and amino acid regulation.
Changes And Improvements To Your Routine And Habits
Consult a fitness trainer to determine your body type during the exercises and correct you if you do not exercise correctly. And if everything is right about the posture and form, it is time to push harder on yourself and increase your training volume. To promote faster muscle gain, you should increase the weight limits in your reps than increasing the number of reps or sets. Try lifting heavier weight if possible and safe, and prioritize strength training over stamina for some time.
Understand The Phases Of An Exercise And Make Changes To It
When you are doing lifting exercises, it has a concentric and eccentric phase. The formers refer to the position when your muscles are at work, and the latter means when they are not primarily involved in the action. You can understand this by barbell press, in which concentric phase is when you have lifted the barbell rod with hands fully stretched while the eccentric phase is when your hands are lowered, and bar is almost rested on the chest.
The point here is that you need to focus on the eccentric part of the exercise and make use of it. One can do this either by slowing down the eccentric action and prolonging the phase or making variations to the eccentric phase.
Sleep And Testosterone Are Two Essentials For Muscle Gain
The moment you gain muscles is not during the workout, but muscles buildup when the body is finally at rest after exercise. During the training, you break the muscle tissues, and these damaged muscles fibers are repairing and regenerating when you are at rest and not making intense exercises. Therefore, having a good quality of sleep is also essential after a workout for the completion of muscle-building processing.
You need to realize that the body uses the testosterone produced by the testicles for muscle building and repairing during sleep and rest. Relatively speaking, if you want all your damaged muscles to grow and repair frequently, you need to have adequate amount of testosterone available in the body to meet your expectation in a short period. You should maintain high testosterone levels when you are on a muscle gaining program even though you have enough calories, protein and amino acid intake. This also allows you to balance the sexual life with the workout routine.
Overview And The Systematic Form Of The Major Muscle-Gaining Plan
Now, you might have possibly realized what you didn’t know or what are the things that you need to consider next time when you are working out or having a meal dedicated to muscle gain. Let’s summarize the information and recall the point once again to create the major plan.
Add protein-rich food items to your diet, such as beans, eggs, chicken etc., including dairy products that will provide the required protein supply.
Add specific exercises to the routine dedicated to muscle gain and focus on strength exercise more than stamina workout.
Focus and utilize the eccentric phase of exercise to gain muscle instead of treating it as a rest position.
Take adequate sleep and maintain high testosterone levels to ensure full recovery and muscle buildup after a workout.
Finally, once adapting these points in your daily exercise routine and diet plan, you will find a noticeable increase in muscle mass within a couple of weeks, and get past your muscle-building plateau.

In a well-researched publication, Professor Ronald Ross Watson has shown that DHEA supplements can benefit people suffering from obesity, depression, adrenal insufficiency, muscle building plateau, and lupus. Moreover, DHEA can also improve the health of the skin in aged people and aid in treating osteoporosis, erectile dysfunction, vaginal atrophy, and other psychological conditions.

DHEA Supplement for Bodybuilding: Benefits, Dosages, Sources and Side Effects
Figure 1. DHEA Supplement - Benefits, Dosages, Sources and Side Effects
What Is DHEA Supplement?
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a natural prohormone, which is produced by the adrenal glands. Individuals should know that the level of dehydroepiandrosterone drops naturally after the age of 30. Some individuals think that consuming DHEA supplements will help in maintaining better health and prevent various diseases.
Moreover, DHEA supplements are generally used by those who believe that these can increase sex drive, fight the effects of ageing, build muscle, and enhance various health conditions. But you must know that there is no such evidence for calming every benefit, and it also comes with several risk factors. Moreover, DHEA supplement is manufactured using soy or wild yam.
However, there is nothing much discovered by the scientists about how DHEA works? But they are able to understand the functions such as a precursor for female and male sex hormones, including estrogen and testosterone. Precursors refer to a substance, which is converted by the body and turns into a hormone.
DHEA peaks in the mid-20s, but in most people, the production will gradually decrease with age. Estrogen and testosterone production also decreases with age. But one should know DHEA supplements can improve the production level of these hormones, which is why various claims state about their potential health benefits.
Health Benefits Associated With DHEA Supplements In Bodybuilding
In a well-researched publication "DHEA in Human Health and Aging", Professor Ronald Ross Watson has shown that DHEA supplements can benefit people suffering from obesity, depression, adrenal insufficiency, muscle building plateau, and lupus. Moreover, DHEA can also improve the health of the skin in aged people and aid in treating osteoporosis, erectile dysfunction, vaginal atrophy, and other psychological conditions.
Having low levels of DHEA is the primary cause of ageing and various diseases like type II diabetes, anorexia, and HIV. In rare cases, low levels of DHEA are also associated with great chances of death. Though, one should know that it is not clear whether DHEA supplements will decrease the chances of acquiring any disease.
DHEA is consumed by those individuals who are considering reversing the process of ageing and boost cognitive functions, immunity, and muscle strength. But people should know that there is not a single study that would back up those claims and uses. It is studied to treat various health conditions, which can range from menopause to cardiovascular to Alzheimer's, but the results are still unclear. So, without further ado, let us look at the health benefits you can attain after consuming DHEA supplement.
Professor Watson claims that it will help strengthen the adrenal gland, which means the production of sex hormone in the human body will be better after maintaining a proper balance between the hormones.
As discussed above, DHEA is a naturally produced hormone, and the production of DHEA reduces after the age of 30, but when begun consuming, it helps maintain better health of the immune system.
Moreover, it helps slow down the process of natural changes in the body, which comes with age, such as reduction in muscle volume, decreased muscle strength, etc.
It also boosts the energy level of the body and helps in maintaining muscle health.
Professor Watson also claims that DHEA helps in improving the memory and mood of an individual.
DHEA aid in building up muscle strength and bones.
Depression is integrated with a low level of DHEA, and there are several pieces of evidence, which could help individuals from getting relief from depression. Recent studies have suggested that DHEA might decrease the symptoms of depression in individuals with anorexia nervosa, schizophrenia, adrenal insufficiency, and HIV. However, one should not consume DHEA with other drugs, which are used for treating these kinds of situations.
Some researchers suggest that DHEA may help in reducing body weight in older patients suffering from metabolic conditions. A recent study on DHEA has indicated that it will have a small but positive impact on the overall body of older people. However, one should remember that it will only happen when the body is able to convert the DHEA available inside the supplement into estrogens and androgens. And the effects of gain weight in younger people is not known.
It can reduce the symptoms of adrenal insufficiency as this situation happens when adrenal glands are inefficient for producing enough amount of steroid hormone plus DHEA. Thus, supplements including DHEA will reduce the symptoms of adrenal insufficiency, but one should consider the side effects associated with consuming DHEA supplement. Moreover, other results and finding are required for acknowledging the effectiveness of the DHEA.
DHEA can improve the symptoms of lupus in women. Lupus is an autoimmune disorder, which affects the organs and skin. The level of DHEA is low in women suffering from lupus. Consuming DHEA supplements will improve the numbers of DHEA and eventually reduce the symptoms of lupus.
Some studies have shown that DHEA may improve erectile dysfunction, libido, and sexual function of individuals. However, other results may differ from the health and medication of an individual. Moreover, there are significant effects on women with menopause. But some individuals conclude that the administration of DHEA is not effective in enhancing male sexual functions.
Therefore, it is recommended to consult with your doctor before consuming DHEA supplement to know more about the perfect dosage for DHEA suitable for your body. Moreover, it is seen that DHEA supplement provide some promising treatment for people with moderate to mild depression and help them to get relief. Recent studies have shown that DHEA supplements to aid in treating moderate to mild depression, which might occur in middle-aged people. It also helps in improving the aging skin of elderly people.
Dosages Of DHEA Supplements
Though there is no such standard dosage of DHEA, some researchers have suggested consuming between 25-200 milligrams in a whole day or sometimes more; it depends on the health conditions for which medication is used. It would be better for you to ask your doctor for suggesting the right amount of dosage required for your body. It will help you make the most out of DHEA supplements.
Moreover, if you are taking any medication consistently, it is suggested to consult your doctor before incorporating DHEA supplement in your daily medication. You should know that it can interact with anticonvulsants, blood thinners, drugs for diabetes, hormone therapy, and liver or heart problems.
And it can result in severe side effects, so it would be better to ask your doctor whether to consume DHEA supplements or not as DHEA is a sturdy hormone and is not recommended for kids or women who are breastfeeding pregnant.
Moreover, consuming high dosage of DHEA may not be suitable for those suffering from liver disease, heart problems, high cholesterol, diabetes, thyroid problems, a person having clotting problems, and polycystic ovary syndrome should not consume DHEA. But it might increase the risk of various cancers affected by hormone imbalance, such as cancers of the prostate, ovaries, and breast.
Sources Of DHEA
Moreover, you should know that DHEA is not present in any food. Wild yams contain a unique substance similar to DHEA, which is used to manufacture DHEA inside the laboratory. One should know that DHEA is produced naturally inside the body by the adrenal glands.
Side Effects Associated With DHEA Supplement
Many sources are calming against using DHEA, especially when consumed without the guidance of a professional doctor due to its possible side effects. People should consider that DHEA is produced naturally, which means consuming DHEA will affect the working of the endocrine system, affecting the natural process of producing hormones.
Moreover, hormonal changes can affect a wide range of body systems. Thus, resulting in numerous side effects. Furthermore, DHEA is not yet tested or used widely to know about the benefits and side effects it comes with. That means
it is not clear how long the results will last. The side effects will vary from different age group to various diseases. It will include
Agitation, aggressive behavior, restlessness, nervousness, and anxiety
blood in the urine
crawling sensation on the scalp
Diarrhoea
Dizziness
mood and emotional changes
Headache
night sweats
Insomnia
rashes
acne
low blood pressure
Moreover, one should know that DHEA can affect women and men differently depending upon their health and medications.

How To Get Shredded Fast Without Making Mistakes
Figure 1. How To Get Shredded Fast Without Making Mistakes
I'll bet you didn't know that the most important elements to get ripped body.
There is a lot of confusion over how to keep lean and to also avoid losing muscle mass.
Let's simplify things even further.
Let's start with the following similarities: Getting bigger and getting shredded is easier.
Until it becomes a habit, they both require considerable discipline and attention to keep up:
The majority of your daily activities are devoted to accomplishing what is most important to you, as a physical being, is more important than what is most other important to you, and irrelevant to you, as a mental one.
Whole foods remain the best dietary source of all around.
Resistance training is still has been shown to help you get slimmer and fitter and stronger.
Processed foods and refined sugar aren't recommended for most people with arthritis.
NOW WE CAN GET ON TO WHAT'S DIFFERENT:
As long as you're consuming enough calories, your goal is to maintain muscle mass while you're burning fat throughout the day.
Macronutrient-wise, though, to attain leanness and shed body fat, you'll need to set your goals and make small changes regularly.
The structure of your macronutrients (carbohydrates, protein, fat, and protein) should look like this:
40% of the recommended daily allowance of protein
40% of the recommended daily allowance of carbohydrates
If you want to get a sense of your macronutrients, record everything you consume for a week. Once you have all this information inputted, you can accurately calculate your overall food consumption using a macro calculator.
You can search the Android Market for "best macro app" and find one that meets your needs.
Another benefit of writing down your food choices is that you will also help you to choose better options, from a nutritional as well as well as convenience standpoint.
Say "No":
Pizza
Refined sugar
Fruit Juice
Soda
Say "Yes":
Veggie
Beans
Lean organic meat
Fruit
It doesn't take that much effort once you get into the routine, and results are visible right away.
You can make things move along faster by including this into your daily routine.

Conclusion:
Another product that works similarly but in a more effective ways than creatine, it is ourepiandrogin.
They both increase the content level of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) but their reaction routines are totally different.
Creatine needs to take time to convert testosterone to DHT. For people who are low testosterone or not much effort putting in the workout, it is obviously not effective for them.
Epiandrogin features the pro-hormone of dihydrotestosterone and testosterone, which provides more effective route to increase the content of DHT.
Figure 1. An Alternative To Creatine - Epiandrogin
Intense movements such as heavy lifts, HIIT and sprints workout involve a lot of energy, which indicates they can quickly drain your power.
Creatine was firstly discovered in 1832 and it's the safest and most effective compound. Its abundant researches have been making it well trusted by many athletes in the sport industry.
It is tasteless and powerful. People will see the result in several weeks.
It promotes our natural energy just like having a nuclear atomic fusion reactor in your body.
For people who workout frequently, it helps boosting the rate of recovery between reps. Therefore, it is a great product in the industry of lean muscle dietary supplement.
Important gains in:
Recovery speed
Muscular size
Muscular strength
However, there's more in 2021:
Another product that works similarly but in a more effective ways than creatine, it is our epiandrogin.
They both increase the content level of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) but their reaction routines are totally different.

People who are chronically sleep deprived have been found to suffer from obesity, type 2 diabetes, and other chronic diseases.
… and in a short time frame
While otherwise healthy people typically lose their weight after just 5 nights of getting just 5 hours of sleep, 5 consecutive nights of sleeping just 5 hours per night has been found to promote weight gain. I can tell you about that at here.
Unfortunately, people usually go to see the doctor for sleep because many prescription drugs have a long list of side effects. You can learn more about prescription sleep medications on the FDA's website.
REM (rapid eye movement) accounts for up to 25% of your total sleep, and is capable of sustaining your brain activity while you are awake.
Non-Rapid eye movement sleep makes up 40% of sleep and growth hormone is secreted during this phase.
Our bodies are made to regulate sleep with chemical production.
Formalin is referred to as seratonin and gamma-aminobutyric acid is referred to as GABA.
GABA, a GABA relaxes your body and your mood, assists in stress control, and also assists in achieving and maintaining a healthy level of sleep.
Poor nutrition or sleep or stress may cause reduced GABA levels to become symptomatic. Low levels of stress may result in anxiety, chronic pain, stress, concentration issues, and migraines, and headaches, and muscle tension and insomnia.

The good news is, on the plus side, there is a much (and simpler) alternative without a prescription.
In reality, you may not even need to do anything other than a couple of small tweaks to your nightly routine to get a good night's sleep.
For a restful night, here are a few things you can do to help you out:
Have a regular sleeping and waking schedule
No stimulants and no training for 4-6 hours before going to sleep
Shut off the TV and the Internet one hour before going to bed.
Try to get at least 6.5 to 8 hours of sleep every night
We all lead extremely busy and unfocused lives, but don't let that keep you from all the hard work you are doing to accomplish your goals.
If you do all of the things listed above and still can't sleep, we're here to help.

You don't even have to pay for it, we waste 1/3 of our whole lives doing so. It's really one of man's most informative antidepressants.
ITS ADVANTAGES INCLUDE:
Promote weight loss
Reduce level of depression
Promote repair of tissue cells, joint and bone
Keep the blood pressure in healthy condition
Improve cholesterol
Maintain growth of strength and muscles
WITHOUT IT, THE FOLLOWING SIDE EFFECTS WILL SHOW UP:
The tendency to be diagnosed with depressive disorder
Lack of ability to focus on tasks
Easier to get anxious
Obesity
Lower testosterone level
Being less confident
Mood swing (Increased anger)
Multi-organs injury
Anyone who is still thrown and turned knows after a busy day that exhaustion will make it difficult to relax on a decent night. And how stress can disrupt sleep, sleeplessness can lead to more stress, certainly a vicious spiral.
It impacts people of all ages and technology makes it possible for everyone to be immune.
AT LEAST YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THIS:
Managing your sleep may be the secret to improving your life in other ways, including your preparation.
And that's not so tough to do...
Through practice, better concentration, and much more power than anyone else in the world you have to power.
Managing sleep begins by understanding how much sleep you have to function at a high degree.
HERE ARE THE STAGES SHOWING YOU HOW TO DO IT:
Stage 1: Determine how many hours of sleep that allow you perform effectively, 7-8 hours for majority of people.
Stage 2: Determine how long it will take you without being hurried out or overwhelmed to fulfill your morning routine (we all have you). This will allow you a precise time to wake up, and the main expression is "no panic or hurry."
Stage 3: According to this research article published in the journey of life sciences, power off all your mobile devices an hour in advance. Since your electronics blue light mess with your brain signals, this is not healthy.
Stage 4: Fix the amount of sleep you require before you need to get up.
e.g. You have to schedule your alert at 5:30 AM, for example, when you need to on the way at 7:30 AM, and your morning routine takes two hours. Does having 8 hours sleep work the best for you? Okay, it's 9:30 PM now for you. Just shut off your computer one hour ahead and rest an hour.
THESE FOOD CAN HELP A LOT:
According to the research article published in Advances in Nutrition, some herbs and food can improve your quality of sleep:
Bananas
Almonds
Chamomile tea
Walnuts
Kiwifruit
Tart cherries
Integrate the recommendations above to sleep for a further hour or 2 hours with a powerful morning routine and start building the basis for a safe and strong life.
Your body would just want to sleep for just a few weeks...
It's so easy, really...

This is perhaps the most common concern anyone has about bodybuilding and weight lifting.
Fair enough. - Fair enough.
And you think we'd help you out because you want to have more muscular mass.
We need to alert you, however,...
...what you would expect is that they may probably not the answers for you.
In reality, it is very straightforward.
JUST FOLLOW THESE STAGES:
STAGE 1: CONSUME MORE HIGH QUALITY CALORIES
Figure 2. Foord with high quality calories
Don't outrun a bad diet.
Discipline yourself. Eat on a fixed schedule 6 times a day (each 2.5 hours).
It might be hard to change the amount of food to, but it's necessary to increase.
This means that, in the middle of the night, you can need to set an alarm to make sure you get enough calories to achieve your goals.
Don't eat fast foods, processed and sugar refined.
STAGE 2: MAKE YOUR JOURNEY A PRIDE AND JOIN IN THE PROCESS
Figure 3. A journey that is full of pride
You're going to stick to the right routine. The key is coherence, diversity and shape.
Focus on time under stress.
You can train twice a day depending on how big in muscular size you like.
Create a routine that allows you enough time to train, rest, work and do everything else you need to be a normal human being.
STAGE 3: STATE OF THE FOOD NUTRITION
Figure 4. State of the food nutrition
Within 30 mins of your workout routine, go to eat to optimize your growth.
Make "timing" a highest priority.
You may also want to check out our products to maximize the rate of recovery to maximize all you've done in the gym.
STAGE 4: REST
Figure 5. Rest after workout out
The kicker is here. You're not getting stronger in the gym, in fact, you're getting weaker indeed.
You'll get strong if you have enough rest.
Rest is where your body does all the necessary repairs to get up tomorrow and do everything again.
STAGE 5: REPEAT
Figure 6. Repeat continuously
All you have to do now is return to the training without hesitation.

The Best Ways To Stimulate Muscle Growth and Control of Blood Sugar Levels
Figure 1. Take control of your blood sugar levels and stimulate muscle growth
Learn about muscle growth stimulation and sugar levels in blood: Blood sugar levels are unmonitored and lead to insulin resistance and to type 2 diabetes (top 7th killer in the U.S on the list).
It's a serious matter that also affects your gym achievement, but could eventually be the life-threatening issue.
Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity are common conditions in which blood sugar levels remain abnormally elevated due to insufficient insulin output (type 1 diabetes is usually genetically inherited). Many details can be found here.
TONS OF PEOPLE IS AT RISK
More than 1 billion adults in the U.S. are suffering from pre-diabetes or diabetes, and majority of them don't realize that.
Factors of risk:
Age
Race
High Blood Pressure
Overweight
High cholesterol
Not actively participate in physical exercise
Genetic conditions (family history etc.)
INSULIN IS IMPORTANT FOR US
According to the clinical review by Meredith Cotton, RN, the energy which drives your training and helps you gain power throughout the day is the Insulin. Insulin tells your cells that you can absorb the glucose from food in the bloodstream to provide energy for your exercises. Unused glucose comes back into the bloodstream and is stored as fat.
THE FLUCTUATION OF BLOOD SUGAR ?
We are aware that consuming foods high in refined sugar causes blood sugar spikes, but we must be concerned with more than just sweet foods. According to a research Research, something that no one predicted will significantly increase the risk of developing diabetes.
Additional common reasons:
Alcohol addiction
Not enough sleep
Smoking habit
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO NOW
You should have more HIIT trainings in your workout routine several times a week in addition to have nutritious food, stay hydrated and get plenty of sleep. It has proven at here to be a good way of optimizing blood sugar level.
Moreover:
Powerful natural components have also been shown to reduce blood sugar and not to include the harmful adverse effects of pharmaceuticals, they include:

Conclusion:
Prohormone (DHEA) increased lean body mass by 6.3 ± 1.2%, decreased fat body mass by 24.6 ± 7.1%, and increased their back squat one repetition maximum and competition total by 14.3 ± 1.5 and 12.8 ± 1.1%, respectively.
This study provides evidence that DHEA has the beneficial effect of enhancing the increases in muscle mass and strength induced by heavy resistance exercise in elderly individuals.

DHEA Supplement Enhances Performance of Weight Lifting
Figure 1. DHEA Supplement Enhances Performance of Weight Lifting
Abstract
Plasma dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) levels and the form of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEAS) decrease to 80 percent from 25 to 75 years. With ageing also, muscle mass and strength decrease. Published data on the effects on muscle mass and strength of DHEA replacement are inconsistent. The aim of this study was to determine if replacement of DHEA increases muscle mass and strength and/or increases the effects of heavy stress in women and men. During the last four months of the study of effects 10 ml DHEA replacement therapy, we performed a random, twice-blind, placebo controlled study using weight-lifting training (DHEA + exercise group, n= 29; placebo + exercise group, n = 27). The strength or thigh muscle volume of DHEA alone did not increase significantly at 6 months. However, the effect of 4 months of weight-lift workout on muscle strength was potentiated by DHEA therapy, measured by magnetic resonance pictures by one-repetition maximum measurement and cybex dynamometry, and by thigh muscle volume. In response to DHEA substitution, serum-like growth factor concentration increased. This study shows that DHEA replacement improves muscle mass and strength caused by strong resistance in elderly people and has the beneficial effect of improving muscle mass.
DHEAS and its form sulfated are present in people in much higher plasma concentrations than in other steroid hormones, which are considerably higher than in any other human steroid (22). Over 99 percent of plasma hormone is present as DHEAS, which is steroidally converted into DHEA (21). DHEA and DHEAS [DHEA(S)] are secreted in human and closely connected primate species by the zone reticularis of the adrenal cortex only. DHEA(S) adrenal production starts with puberty and peaks at age 20. Beginning at the age of 25, plasma DHEA(S) starts to decrease significantly and quickly, with the plasma DHEA(S) level at the age of 75 years down from 25 years to around 80%. The remarkable decline in DHEA(S) at age has led to a considerable concern about the possibility of the development, in addition to the development of aging-related disease processes, of DHEA(S) deficiency playing an important part in the deteriorated metabolic and physical functions.
A gradual decline in muscle mass and strength, which can lead to a fragility, is one of the changes that occurs when aging. There has been no definitive identification of the mechanisms responsible for this loss of muscle, which leads to sarcopenia. However, anabolic hormones, growth factors and physical activity are likely to decrease as one of the contributing factors. There are conflicting data on the effects that DHEA substitution has on muscle mass and strength. Morales et al. reported that in 8 men but not 10 women aged 50-60 years 6 mg of treatment with 100 mg DHEA per day increased muscular strength. Diamond et al. reported 10 per cent DHEA cream in skin for a daily 12 mo increase in the area of femoral muscle scans for 15 women between 60 and 70 years. However, Percheron et al. found in an extensive study involving 140 men and 150 women between the ages of 60 and 80 years that for a year 50 mg of DHEA daily had no effect on the thigh muscle area (MRI), or strength (MMRI). There has been no previous report of the interaction between DHEA replacement and high strength exercise. The replacement of DHEA causes minor increases in insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and testosterone levels and the anti-glucocorticoid effect of DHEA has been reported. While these effects may not be enough to increase the muscle weight or strength in sedentary patients, the reaction to weight training seemed likely.
The objectives of this study were to determine if DHEA substitution for older men and women increases muscle weight and force and/or improves muscle mass and strength effects of a heavy-strength exercise.
STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS
The study was approved by the institutional review board of the Washington School of Medicine. Informed, written consent to participate in a study was provided to study participants.
In a study of DHEA replacement therapy plus resistance practice training, both men and women aged 65-78 years have been recruited from the community by direct mailing and mass media. There were 136 screenings of the volunteers. The test included a medical history, physical exams, blood chemistry analyzes, a urinalysis and a mammography analysis for men with prostate species antigen (PSA). Exclusion criteria include hormone-based therapy, hormone-based neoplasia history, ASP >2,6 ng/ml and active, serious diseases in the last year. Of the 136 volunteers examined, 33 have been excluded because they do not fulfill our criteria of eligibility. Another 39 opted not to take part. The remaining 64 volunteers have been allocated a randomly stratified randomized sex permuting process for receiving DHEA or placebo using a computer generated block. In addition, 56 of our randomized volunteers participated in our research on the effects on abdominal fat and insulin action of 6 mB of DHEA replacement. None of the people smoked. Those who took drugs were medicated for at least 6 ml for stable use. None of the volunteers regularly practiced, but all kept their body weight stable (±2 kg last year).
Study Design
In the last 4 m of the study, we carried out a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studio of the effects of 10 mg DHEA alternatives therapy by adding weight-lifting training. DHEA or placebo were taken daily for 10 mos. participants For the last 4 mo of the course, all participants had weight training three times a week. The justification for starting weight training following 6 mo DHEA replacement was to allow the effects of DHEA per se to be distinguished from that of DHeA on the response to weight training instead of simultaneously with the dHEA therapy.
DHEA Replacement Therapy and Randomization
DHEA had been taken at bedtime at a dosage of 50 mg/day. We bought the DHEA and the Life Extension Foundation placebo capsules (Fort Lauderdale, FL). In the same appearance were placebo and active capsules. A member of the Division of Medicine Biostatistics of the Washington University School developed the randomization algorithm and a researcher who did not interact. The participants, the individuals who performed experiments, the person who dispensed the capsules and the evaluators of the results were blinded to the group assignment. Conformity was monitored at monthly intervals by the pill counts.
Weightlifting Program
A closely supervised weight training program was held for all participants. Three sessions each week were supposed to be completed and skipped, meaning that at least 48 sessions of weight training had to be conducted by each of the participants. The workouts were carried out by exercise technicians in our testing lab. The course consisted of nine exercises performed using the squat rack and Hoist machine (squats, leg presses, kne extension, knee bending, rows, straight line, seated chest presses, curl biceps and triceps) (Hoist Fitness Systems, San Diego, CA). The overall 1-RMs is calculated so the information required to change the strengths of the workout was provided, i.e. the amount of weight elevated during the workouts as the participants became more potent. Initially, two sets of each exercise were used to complete the weightlifting sessions, enabling six-eight repetitions of each exercise to be done by a total of 65% of 1-RM per exercise. After the 6-wk they have moved up to 3 sets of 8-12 replicates carried out with an initial 1-RM of 185 percent.
Assessments
The baseline strength, thigh-muscle volume, serum hormones and IGF-I were measured after 6 months and at the end of the study again.
MRI
Measuring the quantity of the thigh muscle, Proton MRI was used. The axial picture was obtained by a 1.5-T superconducting magnet (Siemans, Iselin, NJ) and by a T1 pulse sequence. Pictures have been purchased using 134 phase encoding steps for 256–256 images in a 16-bit format. Consistent location using coronal scout pictures to determine the starting point for an image acquisition (10 cm above the knee joint space). 8 axial images of 8 mm were obtained without a crossover gap. Both pictures were processed by the same blind professional technician using the image analysis programme (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD). The total muscle volume from the eight axial pictures was calculated for the thigh (cm3). For repeat measurements of total volume of the thigh, the variation coefficient was <1,5%.
Muscle Strength Testing
1-RM testing.
The 1-RM test was done with the same Hoist training machines. The participants raised heavier weight more and more and recorded the maximum weight to be raised as 1-RM for each exercise (4). Participants were instructed first, shown how exercises can be carried out and then practiced before the baseline measurements during a trial session.
Isokinetic Dynamometer Testing
In a Cybex II isokinetic dynamometer (Lumex), the strength of knee extenders and flexor were also measured, with participants sitting at 120 degrees of flexion on their backs and hips, as described earlier (6). Testing at 0, 60 and 180 degrees per second was carried out. The arm of the dynamometer was attached to a flexion of 45° for the isometric test. Cybex testing has the benefit of minimizing the effects of neuromuscular learning on measuring results, as Cybex practice was not included in the training programme.
Diet
At baseline, at 6-months and at the end of the trial, the participants completed three-day food registers with a dietitian. Nutritionist IV records have been analyzed (First Databank, San Bruno, CA).
Blood Hormones and PSA
The serum DHEAS level was determined by the immunosorbent assay linked to the enzyme (Diagnostic Systems Laboratory, Webster, TX). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were used to measure testosterone levels, sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and IGF-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) levels; ultrasensitive radioimmunosurgeons were measured by estradiol levels (Diagnostic Systems Laboratory). In the main laboratory of the Diabetes Research Training Center, Washington University, the IGF-I was measured by radio immunoassay (9). The variation coefficients for these tests were <10%. A monoclonal antibody test determined the levels of PSA (Hybritech, San Diego, CA). These blood tests were done <40 hours after the last exercise after resistance training time.
Statistical Analyses
Base features of DHEA and control groups have been correlated for continuous variables with Student's t testing for unpaid samples and the categorical variables test for chi-square. Variance analysis of repeated measurements was used (ANOVA) for the comparison of time treatment effects with group factor (treatment) and factor of test (time). In repeated ANOVA tests, age and sex were entered as covariates. If an important treatment-by-time relationship was found, baseline variation to 6 mo, baseline changes to 10 mo, and changes from 6 mo to 10 mo were compared to baseline ANOVA and covariates of 6-month. In addition, paired t-tests were carried out to decide whether major improvements were made in the group. Analysis of the subjects who finished the study was conducted. Changes in muscle volume and strength were the key outcome tests. Changes in hormone, IGF-I and PSA concentrations were secondary outcome measures. We calculated that the shift in thigh muscle volume between groups, with a power of 0.9 and α of 0.05, would require a sample size of 20 ± 11 cm^3 per group. All statistical analyzes were carried out using SPSS version 12.0 (SPSS, Chicago, IL).
RESULTS
56 of the 64 people who participated in DHEA therapy and resistance training completed the 10-month report. Five participants in the placebo group fell (three were personal and two were not linked to the study for medical reasons) and three were dropped out from the DHEA group (1 for personal reasons and 2 for medical reasons unrelated to the study).
There were no major variations between randomized to placebo and resistance (PLB + EXER group) groups and DHEA plus resistance (DHEA + EXER group) groups in basic characteristics (Table 1). The serum DHEAS values in both groups have been on average 80% lower than the peak levels in our laboratory young people (alternatively 3,300 ng/ml), corresponding to a strong declin in DHEAS relative to age. During the 10-mm study duration (−0,9 ± 2,9 kg in PLB + EXER and −1,1 ± 4,2 kg in DHEA + EXER), body weight did not vary considerably.

On average, 95 ± 9 percent at 6 mph and 93 ± 4 percent at 10 months of analysis were prescribed in the placebo category. DHEA compliance was 97±10% at 6 mio and 94±6% at 10 mio. The doses recommended were complied with. Given that all subjects required 48 training sessions, the exercise program was 100 percent compliant. The average attendance for the DHEA Group was 2.8 ± 0.3 workouts per week and the placebo group average was 2.7 ± 0.5 workouts/wk. The course was conducted for the DHEA group and for the placebo group for an average of 120 ± 10 days and 125 ± 19 days.
Diet
The energy consumption was measured with diet records without major modifications. The average energy consumption for the baseline of the DHEA + EXER Group was 2.99 ± 338 kcal/day and for PLB + EXER Group 2,276 ± 478 kcal/day for the DHEA + EXER Group at 10 m, respectively. The average energy input was 2.199 ± 338 kcal/day.
Muscle Thigh Volume
48 participants (23 PLB + EXER and 25 DHEA + EXER) have received MRIs. MRIs cannot be collected for a body metal, pacemakers, or claustrophobia in eight participants. In response to 6 months of DHEA therapy or placebo, there were no major changes in thigh muscle volume. In response to subsequent 4 mg resistance training in both DHEA and placebo-treated classes, substantial increases were observed in thigh muscle volume. In DHEA + EXER (7.6 ±7.3%) the rise in thigh muscle volume due to resistance exercise was considerably bigger than in PLB + EXER (3.1 ± 5.5%).
Muscle Strength, 1-RM
Data from 1-RM is inherently contradictory with three DHEA participants and two placebo participants due to arthritis pain, muscle strain and unexplained causes in two persons and had to be discarded. Another Placebo Community member did not carry out the 1-RM examination due to foot surgery. Table 2 shows the outcomes of the 1-RM evaluation with the rest of the 50 participants. During the first 6 mg of therapy with DHEA or placebo, no major differences were found in muscle strength measured by 1-RM. For the six drills, significant changes in 1-RM were replied to the 4 m weight training in both classes. The magnitudes of 1-RM increase in the DHEA group were still higher than in placebo, and statistically slightly higher gains for three exercises, leg pressures, chest pressure and knee extension in the DHEA group, compared to the placebo group (Table 2). Related responses were made for women and men.

*P < 0.05 for comparing the baseline value with the 6-months value transition between group settings;
†P = 0.001 for the reference value and 6-months value of the intergroup comparisons.
Muscle Strength, Cybex Dynamometry
For the first 6 months DHEA or placebo therapy, there were no major improvements in force measured by Cybex dynamometry. Both the DHEA and placebo participants made considerable gains during the following 4 months weight training. However, for all torque measures with the exception von isometric knee flexion, in the DHEA the rise in knee extension and knee flexion torque caused by training was considerably greater than in the placebo community (Table 3). Related improvements were made both women and men.

Serum Hormone and IGF-I Levels
DHEA substitute therapy increased the levels of serum DHEAS to the average young range (Table 4). Serum testosterone dramatically improved (Tar3-times) in women to the young normal range, but it didn't improve significantly in males as a result of the DHEA replacement therapy. Serum estradiol in men increased by 30% and in women by 70% following DHEA treatment (Table 4). Substitution of DHEA has led to small but substantial rises of serum IGF-I. In reaction to DHEA substitution there have been no major improvements in the sex hormone-binding proteins or IGFBPs. For PLB+EXER group and 123±42, 116+±56and 119+±60nM for DHEA + EXER group and 6MB respectively (P=0.276), SHBG was 129 ±87, 130 ±83, and 132+±83nM for the DHEA+EXER group. In the PRED + EXER group and 4,444 ± 1.646, 4,371 ± 1.630, and 4,339 ± 1,727 ng/ml for baseline DHEA+ExER group, 6 months and 10 months, respectively (P = 0,517), IGFBP-3 was average at 4,008 ± 150, 41,464 ± 1,566, and 4,014 + 1,529 ng/ml respectively.

*P < 0.05 for comparisons of baseline value changes between groups;
†P = 0.001 for inter-group baseline benefit comparisons;
‡P < 0.05 for in-group baseline benefit measurements.
Adverse Events
Over the duration of the review, there were no significant adverse effects. For men in the DHEA group and for 1.4 ± 0.8, 1.8 ± 1.1 and 1.7 ± 1.1 ng/ml, respectively, the PSA plasma amounts (basalin, 6 ml and 10 months) were 1.8 ± 1.1, 1.6 ± 1.2 and 1.5 ± 1.0 ng/ml.
DISCUSSION
Our findings indicate that DHEA substitution alone does not increase muscle weight or strength in men and women in elderly individuals substantially. This observation is consistent with the findings of Percheron et al's extensive analysis of DHEA substitution. Morales et al., on the other hand, registered an improvement in intensity in 8 men, but not 10 women, following DHEA. That may be that Morales et al. is using a dosage of DHEA of 100 mg/day, whereas Percheron et al. used a dose of 50 mg/day in this study.
The present research offers new evidence that the efficacy of high-resistance muscle hypertrophy and strength training in older men and women is substantially enhanced by DHEA replacement. This study was added to a study of the effect of DHEA surrogacy on glucose resistance and insulin action. It was intended in conjunction with height lifting exercise to provide preliminary evidence on the effects of DHEA replacement on musclar mass and strength. Finding an important potencial impact of DHEA on the growth of muscle mass and strength as a result of weight formation provides the basis for further studies designed explicitly to clarify the mechanisms by which DHEA replacement produces this reaction.
The discovery that DHEA substitution results in increasing the serum IGF-I concentration is a key indication of the potential mechanism (Table 4). While this rise has been minor, it can also increase DHEA substitution to skeletal IGF-I isoforms. It is especially striking to see that DHEA replacement could boost the increase in the muscle contracture-induced IGF-I isoform mechanical growth factor (MGF).
Testosterone has anabolic effect on the muscle tissue which strongly stimulates the benefits of a strong weight and strength resistence exercise. In this research, DHEA substitution led to a triple rise in the levels of testosterone in women. This discovery poses the likelihood that the growth of testosterone may have contributed to the impact of weight lifting on muscle mass and strength by substitution of DHEA. The possible arguments against this are the results that males who have not had a substantial rise in testosterone have had the same potential impact on DHEA substitution as females and that the actual testosterone level was still low in females with testosterone substitution, while improved.
Glucocorticoids influence skeletal muscles, and plasma cortisol levels and the elevated cortisol in the elderly in response to physiological stressors. The role of DHEA is anti-glucocorticoid. The improvement in muscle mass and strength training through substitution for DHEA seems to be regulated in part by counteracting the catabolic influence of cortisol rises caused by exercise tension.
Rodent research has shown that ageing contributes to chronic NF-μB activation and an increase in inflammatory cytokines production. Human levels are growing with advancing aging of IL-6, TNF-α, and C-reactive protein (CRP). The predictors of impairment are high levels of IL 6 and acute process protection including CRP, ICAM-1 and fibrinogen, which are mediated by inflammatory cytokines. Inflammatory cytokines influence skeletal muscles catabolically and are thought to play a role in sarcopenia growth. A steroid hormone part of the steroid receptor family (PPARα) is the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-α (PPARα) activator. Activated PPARα reduces inflammation by adjusting NF-ŚB transcription activity adversely. The active protein-1 (AP-1) activator and the STAT paths both exercise anti-inflammatory effects. Thus, another process by which DHEA can potentiate the effect of muscle mass and strength resistance is a decrease in cytokine inflammatory activity.
Intra-abdominal fat and changes in the insulin action and glucose metabolism have previously been shown to reduce DHEA substitution. The present data show that substitution of DHEA often increases muscle mass and strength as a result of intense resistance in elderly men and women. DHEA has the added benefit.

Laxogenin is believed to support muscle building and fat breakdown by activating an anabolic protein and the fight-or-flight response.
Laxogenin is sold as a muscle toning supplement for athletes and bodybuilders. It’s claimed to increase protein production in muscles by 200%.
In an old Russian study in rats, brassinosteroid derivatives with a similar structure to laxogenin increased total weight and protein content of the liver, heart, kidneys, and leg muscles without raising the levels of sex hormones or mimicking their effects.
But laxogenin actually works healthy, and how? Please read on to learn our Laxogenin.
WHAT IS LAXOGENIN?
It is different from 5-alpha-hydroxy-laxogenin, which is the derivative of laxogenin. When users search for it, they are simply looking for the muscle supplement compound "5-alpha-hydroxy-laxogenin".
It is a diosgenin derivative and brassinosterod analog. It has the ability to inhibit sodium chloride for preventing the salt stress from ethylene production and polyamide synthesis in the plant lettuce.
Usage in agriculture:
It has been shown to have several bioregulating functions and to promote various growth and development process in the living cells. For example:
Simulating cell elongation and division in plant growth promotion
Increasing biomass productivity and crop yield
Compensating the stress effect induced by salt stress and winter
Ethylene biosynthesis enhancement
Origin:
Steroid From Plants
A compound marketed in different forms as a muscle developing supplement is Laxogenin (3beta-hydroxy-25D,5alpha-spirostan-6-one). It belongs to a class of high quality plant hormones known as brassinosteroids with a structure similar to the animal steroids. They help increase growth in plants.
The Smilax seboldii underground stem contains about 0.06% laxogenine and is its primary natural source. Laxogenin is also derived from Chinese plant.
The more popular plant steroid, diosgenin, is used to manufacture laxogenin in supplements. In reality, more than 50 percent synthetic steroids such as progesterone, cortisone and testosterone have diosgenin in their raw material.
While often reported to be "natural," most muscle building supplements do not contain the synthetic derivative laxogenin but 5a-hydroxy laxogenin (laxosterone).
An study of 12 different supplements revealed that 5a-hydroxy laxogenin mostly comes from synthetic laxogenin. Relevantly, 5 additional substances had no 5a-hydroxy laxogenin and 8 were infected with diosgenin that was untested.
It is a natural steroid found in various plants, but its synthetic analog, 5a-hydroxy laxogenin and untested contaminations are included in most supplements.
Our Laxogin features more than 98.5% 5a-hydroxy-laxogenin content in high absorption liquid formulation without any unnecessary side substances. The content is certified by our engineer and multiple lab equipment (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography Systems).
USAGE IN CREATURES - LOW BIOAVAILABILITY OF LAXOGENIN (Updated on 04/05/2021)
Figure 3. Laxogenin Liquid - Bio-Enhancing Formulation With Pleasant Taste
Since it belongs to herbal resourced compounds, it has poor solubility and permeability to the bloodstream. To enhance the bioavailability of such excellent bodybuilding supplement, pills or capsule formulation is not enough. Once pills or capsules pass through the digestive system, the concentration of the supplement will be reduced due to food blockage in the digestive system, the first-pass effect of gastrointestinal tract and liver [2].
To preserve the concentration of 5a-hydroxy laxogenin, sublingual route is always a preferable route over traditional delivery methods [1] because it can bypasses the first-pass effect and therefore facilitates fastest absorption and more dosage of the compounds into the bloodstream.
However, these are disadvantages of sublingual route:
Most laxogenin supplement (more than 99%) are not available as sublingual formulation
Most users cannot accept the taste of the sublingual dosage
LAXOGIN - A FLAVORED LIQUIFIED CLEANEST 5A-HYDROXY LAXOGENIN DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED BY MEGA MUSCLES
Laxogin features the excellently flavored and self-emulsifying drug delivery system that contains micronized particles of the compound, which is the only laxogenin liquid supplement on the bodybuilding market that can be taken sublingually with delightful flavor. The micronization of particles in the liquid carrier allows instant diffusion of the compound orally and zero reduction of loss of the dose into the bloodstream. More detail is available below:
Snapshot
Supporters:
User reviews are mostly positive
Users show less side effects than steroids and prohormones
Typically stacked with additional supplements
Study for cancer, tissue damage and diabetes
Increase strength
Improve recovery
An excellent alternative to testosterone booster
Skeptics:
No clinical testing and just a few tests of animals and cells
Unfinished safety profile & possible unknown side effects
Synthetically produced
Insufficient proof for medical use
Non-test supplements and low quality
Putative Effects (Benefits of laxogenin and honest Review)
The general advertisement for 5a-hydroxy laxogenin (aka 5-alpha hydroxy laxogenin) is:
Lean muscle mass building
Increase protein synthesis
Burn fat stored
Improve physical fitness and restoration
Improve cortisol
It is not a steroid or prohormone, as opposed to conventional muscle building steroids. The supporter takes this as meaning that the sex hormones (testosterone and dihydrotestosterone) are neither transformed to more effective male nor risk increasing oestrogen.
However, we can't know this because it was never properly tested. Moreover, according to the sport nutrition authorities, the evidence for laxogenin's efficacy is not adequate.
This leaves laxogenin dangling in the grey area: not entirely natural or synthetic, without proof of risk or safety.
It supposedly improves muscle development and fat consumption while not inducing usual steroid side-effects. However, the assertions are not supported by any proof.
Genetics
The activation of AKT1 could potentially increase the muscle building. Individuals with mutations in this messenger protein may have a changed laxogenin response.
Help protect yourself and your health from disease and viruses! Increase your immune system with a genetic approach to your wellbeing, improving your entire body.
Is Laxogenin legal or illegal?
Yes, it is legal and it is the latest dietary supplement.. However, no medical use or health claims of any kind are allowed at the moment. Most users use it for the purpose of bodybuilding and enhancing their workout effectiveness.
Is laxogenin banned?
Obviously not, it is helping bodybuilders/muscle builders grow muscle naturally.
HOW DOES LAXOGENIN WORK
It provides many natural anabolic benefits for human cellular tissues and joints due to its similar chemical structure to animal growth hormones. Because of the chemical structure difference between human growth hormone and the compound, it is no longer a prohormone.
Not a Prohormone
Laxogenin is sometimes misrepresented as a prohormone.
A prohormone is a material for hormone development, and hence Prohormone, is used as the building block. Androgenic prohormones, which the body transforms into testosterone, are the most common.
However, laxogenin is a plant steroid that is very similar to human sex hormones derived from cholesterol. However, since laxogenin is a special herbal compound, it affects various ways throughout the body.
Human steroid hormones such as testosterone work via nuclear receptors. Plant steroids such as laxosteroids obviously improve plant growth, but their effects are more elusive on humans and animals.
Laxogenin is not a prohormone, despite the widespread misunderstanding. It's like sex hormones, but it works differently.
Mechanism
Plant steroids operate in an entirely different way than human steroid hormones. They only bind to the cell surface that sends a signal to create muscles within the cell.
More specifically, they improve muscle building and avoid the disintegration of the muscle proteins by activating a protein kinase B called AKT1 or protein kinase.
In addition, natural derivatives of laxogenin block cAMP breaking up enzymes (phosphodiesterase). This improves cAMP levels, improves fat breakdown and activates the (funny) response to combat or flight.
Laxogenin supports the construction of muscle and the breakdown of fats by activating anabolic protein and the flight response.
Anabolic Effects
Laxogenin is sold for athletes and bodybuilders as a muscle toning supplement. Protein production in muscles is said to increase by 200 percent.
In an ancient Russian study in rats, brassinoid derivatives with a similar structure to laxogenin increased the total liver, heart, kidney and leg muscles in weight and proteins without raising or imitating the levels of sex hormones.
Another plant brassinosteroid has been shown to improve the intake of food, weight gain, lean body mass, leg weight and physical health of rats. rats. Both the molecule and its synthetic derivatives in muscle cells facilitated the production of protein and decreased the breakup of protein.
The class of plant chemicals that have similar brassinosteroid structures (phytoecdysteroids) has increased animal muscle growth and muscle cell protein production.
Although they are all the same, they are not the same. Laxogenin (and its derivatives in additives) may have anabolic effects of similar kind. As they have not yet been studied, however, when we talk about the muscles of laxogenin, we are still in the dark.
Overall, there is insufficient evidence for the supposed muscle building properties of laxogenin.
Laxogenin-like compounds encourage animals to produce protein, grow muscles and fitness. Laxogenin has anabolic effects of this kind, but studies have yet to prove that.
OTHER APPLICATIONS OF LAXOGENIN
There is no clinical evidence supporting any of the conditions mentioned in this section with the use of laxogenin. The following is a summary of the current research on animals and cells, which should inform further research efforts. The studies below should not, however, be interpreted to benefit health.
1) Cancer
The formation of a lung cancer in mice was reduced by it. The leukemia and colon cancer cells were killed in 2 studies by natural and synthetic derivatives of Laxogenin.
Other synthetic and natural brassinosteroids have kill and blocked growth of tumor in cell studies, killing prostate cancer cells.
2) Blood Sugar
Blood sugar levels, liver sugar production and insulin resistance have decreased with a plant brassinoid (homo-brassinolide). In cells, two enzymes that make protein and fat sugar were prevented from activating.
3) Tissue Damage
A cell study has prevented the damage of free radials tissue and the poor supply of oxygen from a natural laxogenin derivative. This suggests that laxogenin can neutralize oxidative stress and that its benefits for muscle recovery are explained. Animal and human studies are however necessary.
Laxogenin and similar compounds can combat cancer, decrease blood sugar and prevent damage to tissue caused by oxidative stress, according to animal and cell studies. However, there is a serious lack of human studies.
Limitations and Caveats
The muscle building effects as well as other potential laxogenin uses were tested only in animals and cells. To assess the efficacy and side effects of laxogenin products, clinical trials are required.
Furthermore, neither studies used the compound nor used any of the supplements available: 5a-hydroxy laxogenin. The laxogenin, natural and synthetic derivatives and similar compounds were tested instead.
The most frequently cited study by supplement manufacturers was old (1976) and was not translated from Russian.
Only laxogenin has been tested by human studies and none of them has been using the compound found in most supplements: 5a-hydroxy Laxogenin. However, 5a-hydroxy Laxogenin is the only compound that has the greatest effectiveness on lean muscle development based on our clinical trials.
SIDE EFFECTS
In animal studies, laxogenin was healthy. No studies, however, have verified its human protection. Users reported that high oral doses (>200 mg per day) will have headaches.
Laxogenin was safe in animals, but no human safety tests supported it. Headaches are only recorded by users who take high oral doses.
LAXOGENIN DOSAGE AND SUPPLEMENTS
Dosage
Since clinical studies do not produce dosage data, manufacturers and consumers have developed unofficial dosage recommendations based on the test and error.
For the 4-12 week periods, the prescribed dosage is normally 100 mg per day, followed by 4 weeks off-cycle. Some users say that cycling is not important.
Laxogenin can be stacked with other materials safely by most consumers. Some use PCT, others sustain muscle improvements during their off-cycle times.
Laxogenin was recommended to users and manufacturers for 4-12 weeks at the dose of 100mg - 200mg per day.
Takeaway
A natural steroid present in many plant species is Laxogenin. In certain products, its synthetic derivatives are with 5a-hydroxy laxogenin and contaminants that are not screened.
Laxogenin supposedly improves muscle development and burning fat without any side effects. In animal studies, however, it has not yet been evaluated in clinical trials.
Lacogenin can stimulate muscle development, fitness, and muscle recovery based on limited study. Cancer can be combated and blood sugar can be reduced.
Laxogenin is praised for respectable muscle gains and protection by the users. Some people complain at higher doses of headache.

Conclusion:
Laxogenin is considered as a plant steroid. Its natural properties are also its number one selling point. A lot of people nowadays prefer natural products than artificial ones that may contain chemicals that can be toxic for your body.
Laxogenin is a compound that can be extracted from plants like Smilax Seiboldii. It is known to stimulate the growth of a plant. However, Laxogenin has a lot of benefits to a human body and can be taken either orally or transdermally. However, most people say that the transdermal way of taking Laxogenin is much more effective.
We are pretty sure you are one of the professionals in the the physical training industry if you have heard about laxogenin. You are probably a bodybuilder or a professional athlete. For those who don’t want any hormonal effect, they will prefer plant-based steroids like laxogenin. However, if you never have heard any of it, this article can change your perspective on what laxogenin is and why it’s been getting popular in fitness supplements.
What is Laxogenin?
It is a fully natural plant-based supplement and its property is the top selling point. A lot of people currently prefer non-hormonal products over steroids that can be toxic to your organs.
It is extracted from a natural plant called Smilax Seiboldii, which is best known for simulating the growth of a plant. Similarly, it is beneficial for the human body as well. It can be taken by bloodstream transdermally or orally.
Laxogenin’s benefits
Fully natural compound extract from a plant
It doesn’t have any artificial chemical compounds. So it won’t produce any negative side effects.
Promote muscular recovery and gain
Due to Its excellent ability of increasing protein synthesis, it promotes your muscles and
helps a lot for your soreness after intense exercises.
Support other important functions in your body
It can also reduce your stress hormones (cortisol) to prevent high blood pressure and high blood sugar content.
No hormonal effect
Unlike our DHEA isomer series, Laxogenin does not change your hormone. Because of this, it is also a great compound for any women who are non-pregnant.
No risk
The only side effect of Laxogenin (if consuming more than recommended dosage) is
Headache.
It can be combined with any other supplement in your stacks
Finally, you should consume your laxogenin at the same time with other regular supplements (if have any). The recommended dosage is 100-200mg per day depending on age and body composition. Recently, there are some scientific experiments about Laxogenin’s effectiveness. The effectiveness was proven by the users who had experience on it. Therefore, if you prefer fully natural rather than hormonal or synthetic supplements, Laxogenin is totally worth trying. Our LAXOGIN has the highest concentration and purity of laxogenin derivatives (aka 5-alpha-hydroxy-laxogenin). It is certified by our excellent engineering team and equipments in our laboratory. Consuming non-pure laxogenin compounds contains other chemical substances that have not been studied in creatures.

Conclusion:
The scientists found rat skeletal muscle cells, exposing them to homobrassinolide, a plant steroid, in varying quantities. They then assessed protein turnover in cell culture and discovered that brassinosteroids cause muscle cells to increase protein synthesis while decreasing protein degradation. As a result, net muscle protein increased dramatically. The outcomes of the research also demonstrate a growth in the number and size of muscle tissue that was vital for increased athletic performance.

Increase in Muscle Mass and Improve Physical Performance
Figure 1. The Main Source of Plant Steroid is Mustard
Plant Steroids Hold Promise for Increase in Muscle Mass and Improve Physical Performance: When we talk about building muscles and physical performance, mustard green and cabbage can be very helpful. Research findings has shown that mustard green and other Brassica plants (e.g. cabbage or broccoli) contain brassinosteroids, which creates similar results as anabolic steroids. Many researchers are looking for these substances that can be used to give safe, natural and effective ways to promote endurance and athletic performance for us.
Research and presentations recently published at the conference attract attention from the authors of the study – Dr. Debora Esposito, a Postdoctoral Associate, Rutgers University, hosted by the N.C. State University Plants for Human Health Institute; Dr. Slavko Komarnytsky, Metabolic Biologist and Assistant Professor, Plants for Human Health Institute, and Dr. Ilya Raskin of Rutgers.
Dr. Esposito studies how a plant steroid can affect the muscle cell in rats.
The study involved rat skeletal muscle cells and exposed them to different quantities of homobrassinolide, a plant steroid. After that, they measured the turnover of proteins and observed that muscle cells react to brassinosteroids by raising cellular protein synthesis and reducing cellular protein degradation. The result was a significant increase in the protein content of the net muscle. Afterwards, healthy rats were fed by homobrassinolide daily for 24 days. The body weight, food consumption and body composition of those rats were measured. The rats fed to the plant steroid reported an increase in lean body mass over those not fed to the substance. The findings of the study also demonstrates a growth in the number and size of muscle fibers that was essential for increased athletic fitness.
Researchers review the result of the research of plant steroid.
Results indicate that brassinosteroid therapy could represent a good alternative method to recover damaged muscles cells. Dr. Esposito also said that we may be able to grow plants with higher brassinosteroid content and create food ingredients that can cure diseases and increase athletic performance In the long term.

Numerous protein powders have heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury), bisphenol-A (BPA used to make plastics), pesticides, or other cancer-related contaminants and other health conditions.
Protein powder is a category of proteins that have been powdered that may be derived from dairy, foods, or vegetables. Some may be derived from shrimp waste and insects. Because of the increased demand for protein powder, the production of fish protein powder has gotten a lot of attention because it contains the best quality protein. However, the fat content of the protein powder remains a difficult issue that must be reduced further during the production process.
It is now a very popular nutritional supplement. It was used for a variety of purposes, including weight loss and body building. Instead of exceeding the daily limit of protein synthesis, the prescribed daily allowance (RDA) for a healthy adult is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. The rate of protein metabolism is a key factor in protein synthesis in muscle cells, which results in an anabolic effect.
Anabolic hormones play a critical role in promoting protein absorption and synthesis in muscle cells [1]. Hormones, in other words, are the most powerful drivers of nutrient absorption. You will learn more about how growth hormone influences muscle protein synthesis by clicking here. You should also be aware that a high protein diet will lower testosterone levels [2], which induces a plateau during the muscle-building process.
In terms of the toxicity of protein powder to human use, plant-based protein has a greater concentration of heavy metals in the degree of detectable level of measurements. It can contain artificial additives, calories, or even hazardous chemicals like lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), and, the most dangerous, arsenic (As) [3].
Going to add protein shakes to a cup of milk or a smoothie it might seem like an easy way to improve your health. Even so, protein is important for establishing and retaining muscle, bone density, and a wide range of body functions. And a lot of older adults don't ingest enough protein because of a lack of appetite.
But just be wary that chocolate or vanilla protein powder may cause health hazards. "I recommend not using protein powder unless and under supervision, under such circumstances." said the registered dietician Kathy McMannus, Director of the Harvard-affiliated Brigham Department of Nutrition and Women's Hospital.
What does protein powder do?
Protein powder is a crushed form of protein derived from plants (potatoes, soybeans, peas, rice, or hemp), milk or egg (whey protein or casein). Powders could also include additives such as added sugars, artificial ingredients, preservatives, vitamins and minerals. The amount of nutrients per scoop may fluctuate from 10 to 30 grams of proteins.
What are the safety issue involved?
There are some safety issues needed to consider when consuming protein powder:
A protein powder can be a dietary supplement but the FDA leaves it up to manufacturers company to determine the risk of products. So, if a protein powder contains what manufacturers say, there is no way to tell.
Long-term effects are unknown. McManus says that there is little evidence from supplements on the potential side effects of high protein consumption.
McManus points out that digestive distress can be induced. "By using a milk-based protein powder, people with milk allergies or trouble digesting lactose [milk sugar] can experience gastrointestinal discomfort,"
It may be high in sugars and calories that are added. Some protein powders have no sugar added, and others have a lot of sugar added (as much as 23 grams per scoop). Some protein powders transform a glass of milk into a beverage of over 1,200 calories. The dangers are poor diet and an unhealthily high blood sugar level, which causes weight gain. A maximum of 24 grams of added sugar per day for women is recommended by the American Heart Association.
Revealing a new danger
Previously this year, a non-profit organization named the Clean Label Project released a study on protein powder toxins. Researchers tested 134 brands for 130 varieties of toxins and observed that many protein powders detected heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury), bisphenol-A (BPA used to make plastics), pesticides, or other cancer-related contaminants and other health-related substances. Some toxins have been present in significant quantities. For instance, one protein powder found to contain 25 times the permitted BPA limit.
What can protein powder have contained so many impurities? The Clean Label Project refers to the production processes or the presence of toxic substances absorbed by plants in the root zone. The plants afterwards are made into protein powders.
Not many of the protein powders tested contained high amounts of toxin. People can see the findings on the website of the Clean Label Project (www.cleanlabelproject.org).
Goal of protein intake
Target for dietary recommendations allowance of protein intake: 46 grams per day and 56 grams for women and men respectively. For instance:
an egg in your breakfast (5-6 grams)
6 oz of Greek yogurt during lunch (15-18 grams)
nuts for snacking (3–6 grams)
2 oz chicken breast (14 grams).
What can you do
McManus suggests that in the following cases, protein powders without toxic chemical substance may be helpful (only under medical supervision):
if you are having trouble to eat or under bad appetite
if your body require high amount of protein to recover a wound
if you are under conditions requiring further calories and protein intake in order to get healthier
Anything other than that, getting protein from natural foods: seed, dairy, fish and lean meat etc. are better ways than protein powders.
