5a-Hydroxy Laxogenin

edit

What is Laxogenin? Laxogenin ( 5a-Hyrdroxy Laxogenin) is an anabolic building block that comes from a plant. It increases protein synthesis and nitrogen retention which causes the body to anabolic open a window to increase muscle strength, mass, endurance, and lean gains. Laxogenin has been around since the mid 1990's so it's been around but was discontinued by supplement companies because the profit margin was not high enough. Being a new competitor in the supplement business there is not a lot has researched that has been on an account. Laxogenin did not receive much notice because of the amount of money it takes to produce it. In complete detail, Laxogenin is a sapogenin, a component of the non-sugar part of saponin. Coming from the plant Smilax Sieholdii. It is in a group of plant – based steroids that occur in small amounts in a plant. It is an all-natural substance even though it is called plant steroid but only because it construct the same category of plant hormones. Among all, laxogenin inhibits cortisol, a distributive hormone we get from mental and physical stress that signals the body to store more fat and burn muscle mass. It is compounded two different ways pill/capsule form and lotion. How does it work? Laxogenin can be a standalone supplement to use, or it can be stack with other supplements because it does not have any side effect, nor does increase estrogen. It is a great addition to add to any cycle without having to worry. So in which case, it can be stacked with other prohormones or anabolic. By considering the effects of this plant steroid, it can be used to benefit throughout both on and off cycle for athletes, bodybuilders, and power lifter and cross fitters. Usually, a dosage is 50-100 milligrams per day and cycled up to 12 weeks. It is knowledgeable to take four weeks off after each period to allow the receptors to get back to the norm. Tests have shown the protein synthesis increases by over 200%, which is the key to muscle growth. The reason steroids work so well is because they increase protein synthesis and then targets the receptors to maximize the amount of protein the body can intake. The good thing about laxogenin is that doesn't affect any of standard hormonal output in a person in any way, so the person is still producing testosterone the same way. You don't have to worry about any conversion to estrogen. The research behind Laxogenin? Laxogenin discovered as early as the 1960's but not informed to the public until the 1990's. The studies conducted that laxogenin had similar ratios as Anavar, but the effects of liver toxicity and test for steroids are of no concern when taking laxogenin. Laxogenin is compared to oxandrolone since it has had similar anabolic/androgenic ratios as oxandrolone (Anavar). Oxandrolone decreases Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) hormones. It is known to increase testosterone and nitrogen retention. Oxandrolone also promotes red blood cells finalizing an increase of muscular endurance. Among all laxogenin is not oxandrolone because it is a plant steroid rather than a synthetic chemical version. Laxogenin is part of a group known as Brassinosteroids which has been known to display anabolic benefits without the side effects that prohormones cause. Brassinosteroids studies have been taking the place of what most Laxogenin is because it is also a plant based and is known to be in laxogenin. The research from "The Journal of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology" has proven to promote protein synthesis with almost no side effects. While there is a good amount of research on Brassinosteroid, there is not a lot on Laxogenin because in the supplement industries prohormone usually get banned within a year's time. Benefits of laxogenin? Though laxogenin is not as strong as an actual anabolic steroid, there are significant advantages of taking them. Noted that laxogenin is a safe compound and does not show up on a drug screen, which means athletes at an elite level do not need to worry about getting busted. It has no effect on estrogen levels, so it not needs to take post cycle therapy (PCT) or any aromatase inhibitors. Results can be shown very fast if on a proper diet and exercise routine. It can prevent any fat gain that might happen on other anabolics. Last but not least it does not cause an increase in DHT or convert into DHT, which can cause hair loss The effects of Laxogenin? Due to Laxogenin not haven shown any side effect, Supplement Company has been promoting this to their athletes to give them a boost. Laxogenin causes a person to react more aggressively. If you're a natural athlete, the aggressiveness will be a game changer but for those non-natty athletes, it won't cause you "roid rage" because there are far worse things out there in the hormonal anabolic world. Understanding that laxogenin won't cause anyone to gain a certain size. It is mostly used for the recovery of the joints, calorie intake, and adding some strength. I will allow a person to eat more food at a healthy rate. Though it helps with calorie intake, it does not mean going out to eat to reward yourself for anything but to keep up a well-balanced meal of meat and vegetables. It can speed up the recovery period from lifting heavier weight. It helps reduce body fat while at the same time put on muscle mass. Laxogenin creates more fluid to the joints this means a person can recover faster from heavy weight lifting. This supplement is useful because having healthy joints can help protect from injuries to the knee, elbow, etc. Who should use it? Laxogenin is best in position for three types of people: • Competitive natural athletes •Steriod users who are off-cycle •Injured athletes But in reality, almost anyone can take Laxogenin. Among all, only people over the age of 18 can take laxogenin. In any retrospect if you're a one of those guys who is looking to get huge this is not the product for you. It will help if stacked but laxogenin seems best fit to athletes. Since laxogenin contains no androgenic side effects women can use it as well. However, women may not be able to see the same results as men taking laxogenin due to women producing lower levels of testosterone. It will not change and secondary sex characteristics such as growing facial hair, acne, hair loss, and will not make the clitoris larger. On the surfaces of usage, it depends on the brand bought. They can range from 60 to 100 mg (milligrams) for dosages. It can range from a 4 to 12-week cycle, and if you are new to prohormone supplements, it should be the minimum 4-week period. It is always recommended to take at least four weeks off on any prohormonal supplements. On cycle support is not needed since laxogenin is not liver toxic. In the method of stacking along with laxogenin a person is recommended to use a cycle support. The good thing about laxogenin is it can stack with a variety of different supplements: test boosters, thermogenic, prohormones, and post cycle therapy. [1]
