Turkesterone

Turkesterone is something I am seeing in SUPPs more and more in recent years. It has actually been used in Eastern medicine since the 1960s, however it’s taken some time to work it’s way to the west. Thankfully it is finally making it’s mark in SUPPs because it is playing it’s part beautifully. Turkesterone is derived from a natural plant called Leuzea, or sometimes Maral Root. It is very similar to a Thistle plant. Before we even get to Turkesterone, the herbs from the Leuzea plant are used to treat anxiety and fatigue. Turkesterone is known as a type of Ecdysteroid, which are naturally occurring steroid hormones in plants. In the body, the main reaction that Turkesterone creates in greater muscle protein synthesis. This has a few key benefits such as, increased lean muscle mass growth, faster recovery times and increased strength. This naturally found ingredient can be found as its own SUPP and included as an ingredient for other combos.

When your body receives ARA, your muscles instantly absorb it and it combats inflammation specifically associated with strength training.
