Description:

Diosgenin is a wild yam extract which is converted in the body into a variety of endogenous steroids, and has been demonstrated to support the healthy production of the natural anabolic androgens DHEA and DHT, resulting in support of the anabolic effects of training in muscle as well as GLUT4 translocation, enhancing muscle sugar uptake and energy availability (1).

 

Daidzein is a polyphenol extracted from soybeans which has been demonstrated to support healthy testosterone levels and muscle mass, whilst also activating PPARy, increasing uncoupling protein expression and supporting leaning and fat burning in response to exercise (2,3,4).

​

Tectona grandis extract has been shown to support healthy androgen activity. Because K-507 does not contain any structural similarity to testosterone, no competitive down regulation of testosterone is expected (3). K-507 has no activity at the oestrogen receptor (5).

​

Luperform lupin extract provides the added benefits of boosted energy, focus, and endurance.
