5a-Hydroxy Laxogenin

Description

Product Description

5a-Hydroxy Laxogenin, also known as Laxogenin, is a plant compound and the best member of Brassinosteroids. Brassinosteroids is a class of polyhydroxysteroids that are seen as sixth class potent hormones, examples are Mustard, Castasterone etc. Brassinosteroids generally increases protein. Structurall, Laxogenin looks like the plant extract ecdysterone and functions as anabolic steroids but Laxogenin is natural and commonly considered to be free of liver-toxic side effects.

Although the process of effect has not been clarified, it however directly increases protein synthesis and reduces protein breakdown. Laxogenin is also believed to enhance muscle recovery and growth by inhibiting the stress hormone cortisol. When consumed in excess, cortisol levels can make it almost impossible to gain muscle or energy. Laxogenin does not perform the function of a prohormone by interfering with the body' s internal secretion of the endocrine glands. Laxogenin neither increases nor decreases endogenous levels of testosterone.

How does Laxogenin Work?

Laxogenin is a naturally-occurring, plant-derived substance, not a synthetic steroid concocted in some pharmaceutical laboratory. On top of that, there has been a substantial lack of research surrounding the actual mechanism behind Laxogenin's mechanism of action. In other words, scientists still don' t know exactly how Laxogenin does what it does. But, according to the initial studies conducted in Russia, it is significantly increase muscle protein synthesis. Laxogenin has also been found to substantially reduce protein breakdown. Additinally, some other info about the effects/actions of Laxogenin can be gleaned from the patent application for the ingredient. Specifically, the patent application states that Laxogenin can exhibit adaptogenic traits, helping your body "normalize" its stress response.

Benefits of Laxogenin

1 Increased protein synthesis and lean mass

Laxogenin is sold as a muscle toning supplement for athletes and bodybuilders. It's claimed to increase protein production in muscles by 200%. This is especially good for people who are engaging in body building exercises. Laxogenin gives energy at a fast rate.

2 Enhance recovery

Laxogenin causes an increased recovery from mental tiredness or fatigue. It deals with stress and help the nerves calm easily.

3 Lower Blood Sugar Levels

In obese mice, a plant brassinosteroid (homobrassinolide) taken with the diet reduced blood sugar levels, sugar production in the liver, and insulin resistance. In cells, it prevented the activation of two enzymes that make sugars from proteins and fats.

4 Fighting Cancer

Laxogenin reduced lung tumor formation in mice given a cancerogenic compound (4-NQO). Natural and synthetic Laxogenin derivatives killed leukemia and colon cancer cells in 2 studies. Other natural and synthetic brassinosteroids killed prostate cancer cells and blocked the formation of new blood vessels (which is essential for tumor growth) in cell studies. Laxogenin Dosages Since the dosing data in clinical trials is nonexistent, the manufacturers and users established unofficial dosing guidelines based on trial and error.

The recommended dose is usually 100 mg/day for 4 - 12 week cycles, followed by an off-cycle period of 4 weeks. Some users claim that, given that Laxogenin is not a prohormone or steroid, it's not necessary to cycle it off. Most users claim that Laxogenin can be safely stacked with other substances. Some use it alongside PCT, while others take it to maintain muscle gains during their off-cycle periods.

Method of Stacking

Since Laxogenin is non-hormonal, it can be seamlessly woven into any natty muscle building stack, and can be used alongside any/all of the following natural muscle

builders: .

●Beta alanine

●Betaine, Creatine

●Epicatechin

●Phosphatidic acid

●BCAAs

●EAAs

●Pre-workouts

●Intra-workouts

●Natural testosterone boosters

Potential Side-effects

What makes Laxogenin so special is because it is known for having minimal side effects. Actually, there is only one known side effect associated with the use of Laxogenin headaches.

Yes, worst case scenario you will experience a slight headache, but this is usually only the case with higher doses (> 150mg).

Other stuff like prohormones or steroids are known for hair loss, aromatization and other side effects they can cause. They are also chemically synthesized, whilst this compound is completely natural. A study performed on Brassinosteroids has shown us that these plant steroids do not directly bind to the androgen receptors. This compound is definitely a safer alternative to prohormones and steroids. You won' t have to worry about experiencing any serious side effects whilst speeding up the muscle building process.
