ECDYLABS

Ecdysteroids are hormonal steroids found in some plants, certain water animals, and insects. Their structure is similar to testosterone, and research suggests ingestion can lead to an increase in muscle mass and athletic performance.

Ecdysteroids, including Turkesterone and Ecdysterone work by ‘hacking’ the stress response in the body. It does that by regulating a stable balance in the adrenal, pituitary, and hypothalamic glands.

These three glands separately produce hormones that help regulate blood pressure, immune system, mood, vision, growth, and more.

By bringing the three glands in harmony, ecdysteroids may enable users to increase their muscle mass, improve recovery, enhance workloads, and stimulate gains during training.

There are multiple studies outlining the benefits of ecdysteroidal usage.

In particular, studies were undertaken as a result of the USSR athletic performance in the 1988 Seoul Olympics, where athletes utterly dominated the medal count in which there was a strong belief that the usage of ecdysteroids were behind the incredible and dominating performance.

Yes.

That it’s legal to buy Turkesterone & Ecdysterone shouldn’t come as a surprise. Its active ingredient, known as beta-ecdysterone, is found in many household foods. These include spinach, mushrooms, quinoa, and asparagus. 

Ecdylabs includes a Hydroxypropyl-B-Clyclodextrin complex in all products to improve the bioavailability of the parent compound.

Certain complex carbs (including Hydroxypropyl-B-Cylcodextrin) can fit other molecules inside them.

Therefore, what we can speculate by including the additional Hydroxypropyl complex (the carb), with consideration to the chemical structure of Turkesterone is that the cholesterol foundation of Turk (cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene moielty) will fit and stabilise into the complex.

 Cholesterol is naturally hydrophobic (repels water), so essentially by wrapping the Turk's cholesterol foundation in a strong hydrophillic glucose derivative (loves water), we can hypothesise that the turk-complex formation is more water sollulable, otherwise referred to as more 'bio-available'.

Specific to ecdysteroids, a paper in 2018 demonstrated beta-cyclodextrin exhibited a water solubility improvement of 100x with 20-Hydroxyecdysterone (Ecdysterone).

Therefore,  it's very reasonable to assume Turkesterone & Ecdysterone will be better absorbed when complexed with a carbohydrate based derivative that improves bio-availability, than without (up to 100x as we've seen in studies).
