The Gear Juiced 30sv

Test is the holy grail of muscle-building hormones. It is naturally produced in males, and to a lesser degree in females. The biologically active form known as Free Test interacts with muscle cells and is the key driver of protein synthesis and muscle growth. Only a small fraction of the Test your body produces remains as Free Test, which limits your anabolic potential. Your physiology, age, training level, diet, lifestyle and overall health all affect Free Test levels, either positively or negatively.

Low Test
System levels of Test are regulated by your Hypothalamus and Pituitary Gland. However as we age Test production naturally declines, which in turn can affect your body’s ability to recover and build muscle. But many other conditions can also reduce system Test levels. Test levels also increase after hard intense exercise, but can decrease following exhaustive endurance training. If testing shows a low Test level, causes can include:

• Age - Test production generally starts to decline each year after the age of 30
• Illness (including type 2 diabetes, kidney disease, high blood pressure)
• Medications - many can interfere with natural test production
• Over-training - training too hard, too often will reduce test production

Symptoms of Low Test

• Low energy levels
• Difficulty building muscle mass
• Decreased sex drive, hair loss or slow hair and nail growth
• Slow recovery from exercise
• Increased susceptibility to mild infections like colds
• Increased irritability
• Poor sleep quality
• Difficulty in concentrating

Can Hormone levels be boosted by supplements?
There are a number of nutrients that are essential for healthy Test levels  For example, cruciferous vegetables including broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and brussel sprouts all contain indole-3 carbinol and 3,3'-diindolylmethane (DIM) which are compounds that can help keep Test levels high and Estro levels low.

MAX has developed this advanced male support formula, THE GEAR JUICED, based on a combination of proven food derived nutrients and herbal extracts to help support your training goals. To see the full formula click the Ingredients Tab above.

TEST SUPPORT COMPLEX

• D-Aspartic Acid is an amino acid that has been shown in multiple animal and human studies to stimulate luteinizing hormone, increase Test levels, improve sperm quality and motility,  and increase Growth Hormone.
• Fenugreek Seed Extract has been used for centuries as a medicinal plant to treat a wide range of ailments. One of the key active ingredients of Fenugreek is Protodioscin which is thought to be the main stimulant of increased Test production. Several studies have in fact shown significant increases. One recent study reported up to 46% increase in Test in 90% of the study population over 12 weeks. Fenugreek is a safe and effective Test stimulant.
• Organic Maca Powder is derived from the peruvian Maca plant. It has been traditionally used to enhance fertility and libido.Studies have demonstrated a hormone balancing action with an associated increase in sexual desire. Maca has also been linked in studies to increased exercise performance.
• Ashwagandha is a herb commonly used in Ayurvedic medicine to promote youthful vigor, enhance muscle strength and endurance, and improve overall health. Known as an adaptogen, In one 2019 study, Ashwagandha supplementation showed an 18% increase in DHEA, and a 15% increase in Test in a group of 50 men aged 40 - 70 years over 8 weeks
• Tribulus Terrestris has been reported to boost Test in some animal studies, however it’s major benefit is to increase sex drive and libido in both men and women.
• Laxogenin is a compound derived from the Plant Smilax Sieboldii. Laxogenin belongs to a class of plant chemicals known as brassinosteroids. Animal studies of brassinosteroids have shown significant anabolic response with minimal or no androgenic side effects

ESTRO SUPPRESSION BLEND

• DIIM or 3,3′-Diindolylmethane is a compound derived from the digestion of indole-3-carbinol, found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussel sprouts, cabbage and kale. Multiple studies have shown it to be a strong anti-Estro nutrient which helps to inhibit the conversion of free Test to androgenic and Estroic metabolites including DHT and estradiol.
• Resveratrol is a naturally occurring polyphenol that occurs in a number of plant species  including red grape skins and other fruits and vegetables. It has been shown in both animal and human studies to reduce androgenic compounds in circulation, helping to keep Free Test levels high.

VASODILATION COMPLEX

L-Citrulline, L-Arginine and Betaine combine to boost nitric oxide to produce a strong vasodilation effect, helping to boost the levels of nitric oxide in epithelial cells for increased blood flow and delivery of anabolic nutrients.
