MYO-STACK

Mechanism

Rhaponticum Carthamoides Extract → Modulation of hormonal response
Rhaponticum carthamoides extract, also known as Maral Root or Leuzea carthamoides, is valued for its high content of bioactive compounds, especially ecdysteroids. It is classified as a potent adaptogen, which are substances that help the body increase resistance to stress and optimize its response to physical stress. Scientific research focuses mainly on its potential to promote muscle protein synthesis, improve physical performance and accelerate the body's recovery processes.

Ajuga Turkestanica Extract → Myostatin Inhibition and Synthesis Support
Ajuga Turkestanica extract contains the active ingredient turkesterone. It is mainly studied for its ability to influence myostatin - a protein that naturally slows down muscle growth. As a result, it promotes more efficient muscle protein production, helps speed recovery and improves muscle adaptation to training loads.

6-Hydroxy Laxogenin → Research on non-steroidal anabolic pathways
A natural plant steroid (sapogenin) that is being researched for its purported properties without affecting the hormonal axis. Studies focus on its potential in protein synthesis processes.

Study and history

5-Alpha-Hydroxy Laxogenin → Myostatin Inhibition
A new scientific study published in 2024 yielded groundbreaking findings on the substance's mechanism of action. The research confirmed that 5-Alpha-Hydroxy Laxogenin effectively inhibits (blocks) myostatin under laboratory conditions.⁽¹⁾

What is myostatin?
Myostatin is a key protein in the body that functions as a natural "brake" on muscle growth. It restricts the formation of new muscle fibers.

The ability of 5-Alpha-Hydroxy Laxogenin to block this inhibitory protein in muscle cells makes it an extremely interesting subject for further research into muscle growth and recovery. Although this study was conducted in the context of improving cultured meat production, it is the first time that this particular mechanism has been scientifically confirmed at the cellular level.

History

5-Alpha-Hydroxy Laxogenin is not a laboratory concoction, but a treasure extracted from a plant with a legendary past - Sarsaparilla (genus Smilax).
This root has been revered for centuries by cultures around the world as a powerful tonic and source of strength. Indigenous peoples of Central and South America used it to increase vitality and stamina, while in Europe it has been renowned since the 16th century as a remedy for 'purifying the blood' and treating chronic diseases. In the 19th century, it even became the basis of famous restorative drinks that promised general health and robustness.

A legacy for modern science
Traditional healers did not know the chemical composition, but they observed the effects. Today, we know that steroidal saponins - natural substances with a structure similar to human steroids- are behind Sarsaparilla's historic reputation. It is from these compounds that nature has created that we isolate pure 5-Alpha-Hydroxy Laxogenin today. Your research thus follows centuries of tradition that have been confirmed by modern science.⁽²⁾
