USP Labs Test Powder Fruit Punch 240g. USP Labs Test Powder: NEW Lean Mass Test Matrix! (Multi-Pathway Ergogenic Aid) New Lean Mass Test Matrix The Alpha Activator Dear Fellow Alpha Crew, One word... Alpha... The lead dog. The one everyone envies & are subconsciously drawn to... Its built entire empires, even when those who possess it are not even close to physical specimens... Just imagine what you could accomplish with some of that... Its safe to say there's not a man in America, or the world for that matter, that deep down doesn't want more "alpha"..... . Just a little bit so the girl who doesn't know you exist all of a sudden feels tingly upon your presence... So that moment of being tongue tied is replaced with laughter & room control..... . So that dbag that likes to mess with you thinks twice & moves on to an easier target... That's what it means to activate your inner alpha... . Think anything could stop you? You want more Alpha? Then you need Test Powder: The Alpha Activator Ingredient Breakdown: Trimethylglycine This particular compound has been shown in several studies to possess exercise performance-enhancing effects 1-4. For example, one study utilizing 12 young male subjects found that trimethylglycine was able to increase force production & muscular endurance after 2 weeks of supplementation. In addition, area under the curve (AUC) levels for the anabolic hormones, Growth Hormone (GH) & Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) were also increased from the 2 weeks of supplementation 4. Furthermore, the area under the curve values for the catabolic hormone, cortisol, were decreased after supplementation with trimethylglycine in these subjects. In short, there are data demonstrating that this compound can improve exercise performance & in at least one study, was shown to alter anabolic & catabolic hormones in a fashion that is conducive of muscle growth. Aframomum Melegueta Extract This particular plant extract has been traditionally used in western portions of Africa in order to support male function, as well as an aphrodisiac. Yet, only recently has various pharmacological investigations provided scientific evidence to support such a use. The first study in 2002, found that male rats given the plant extract displayed increased sexual arousal & activity 5. More recently, in 2011, a study found that using an in vitro yeast cell-based bioassay, the extract from this plant possessed strong anti-estrogenic properties 6. Finally & most recently, in 2012, a paper was published where the extract was again administered to rats & testosterone & body weight were recorded. It was shown that the extract increased body weight gain greater than that seen in the control group, while also increasing testosterone levels in serum by more than 300% compared to the control group 7. Garcinia Mangostana Fruit Peel Extract This particular herb features a compound called gamma-mangostin. This compound has demonstrated estrogen synthase inhibitor activity 8. D-Aspartic Acid (3120 mg) In a study consisting of 23 men being given 3.12 grams per day (20 men were given placebo) over a 12 day period, it was found that 87% of those taking the D-aspartic acid experienced an increase of LH & testosterone; the average increase in LH & testosterone was 33.3% & 42%, respectively, compared to baseline 9. Prior studies in rats have also shown that d-aspartic acid can increase LH & testosterone levels. In addition, it has also been shown to increase GH levels in rats as well 10. There is even some evidence that it may increase nitric oxide synthase (NOS) & thus increase NO production 11. Agmatine Sulfate (1000 mg) This particular compound has been shown in animals to potentially increase LH-RH & LH which in turn, could hypothetically increase testosterone levels 12. In addition, it has also shown an ability to increase NOS activity in vitro & thus again, could hypothetically result in an increase in NO production 13. Quality Agmatine Sulfate is very expensive & difficult to source... Test Powder contains 1000 mg of Agmatine Sulfate per serving, more than any other product on the market that we are aware of. Mucuna Pruriens Extract Mucuna pruriens seed powder was administered to infertile but otherwise healthy men for a period of 3 months. It was shown that compared to baseline, the men taking the mucuna pruriens experienced a statistically significant increase in serum testosterone while also experiencing a concurrent decrease in prolactin 14. L-Carnitine Tartrate This particular compound has been shown to increase the expression of the androgen receptor (AR) in skeletal muscle 15... The more androgen receptors you have, the more testosterone that can bind to them on your muscle cells & that could potentially result in greater androgenic effects, especially as it relates to muscle gains & strength... What's the point of having all that extra testosterone floating around if you don't have the androgen receptors around for it to dock to? Think of it is this way. The androgen receptors are like the locks to a thousand mansions filled with whatever your heart desires. But, you still need the keys (testosterone) to get in. Without the lock (AR) & the key (testosterone), you're not getting anywhere...
