Axis-HT [ by BSN ]

Axis-HT is BSN's multi-dimensional natural testosterone amplifying formula. Testosterone in and of itself is the male sex hormone responsible for controlling the rate of muscle repair and aggression. It's important to know that Axis-HT is not a hormone. Rather, it's a supplement that simply signals the body to maximize its own natural testosterone production, providing you all the benefits of elevated testosterone levels.* Axis-HT also helps prevent overtraining and even contains a special combination of minerals that will allow you to sleep better.* Remember, it's when you sleep that testosterone and growth hormone release are maximized. Don't be average, be hardcore! Maximize your gains in and out of the gym.*

Axis-HT Highlights:

• Multi-dimensional formula helps maximize natural (endogenous) testosterone production
• Enhances muscle fullness, strength and performance
• Intensifies training aggression and tolerance to pain
• Supports healthy cholesterol levels
• Improves recovery and resistance to illness
• Stack with NITRIX®, N.O.-XPLODE™ and CELLMASS® to create THE FIGHT STACK™

Axis-HT Benefits:

• Naturally increases endogenous testosterone levels - not a prohormone

AXIS-HT INGREDIENT PROFILE

Magnesium Aspartate: Zinc Monomethionine and Aspartate: The minerals zinc and magnesium are commonly used to support testosterone production, along with promoting deep rapid-eye movement (R.E.M.) sleep.* Deep sleep is when your body's hormone production is highest.

StAR-P2 Androgenic-Anabolic Testosterone Matrix:

Inositol Hexophosphate (IP6): Responsible for regulation of cell growth and additionally is a key component of cell-signaling pathways such as those involved in the production of testosterone.* IP6 also supports the immune system by enhancing the natural activity of white blood cells.*

Coleus Froskohlii (standardized for 40% forskolin): Used to stimulate an enzyme known as adenylate cyclase, which leads to an increase in the production of cAMP.* cAMP plays a "second messanger" role in a number of cell-signaling pathways, such as those involving the production of testosterone.*

TPS3™: TPS3™ is a 3-fraction extract of Tribulus terrestris, which is shown to enhance or restore endogenous testosterone production.* The 3 fractions of Tribulus chosen for TPS3™ provide the entire range of potentially active Tribulus constituents. These include, but are not limited to: steroidal saponins (furostanol glycocides: protodioscin and protogracilin), spirostanol glycosides and phytosterols (beta-sitosterol).

Testofen™: A Fenugreek extract, 50% fenuside, Testofen™ is intended to support endogenous testosterone production.*

Eurycoma Longifolia: Increases the amount of free testosterone available by binding to sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG).* SHBG binds free testosterone making it unavailable.* By binding to SHBG and freeing testosterone, testosterone levels increase.*

GF5™ (Proteinaceous Avain Nucleus Extract): This blend includes IGF, FGF, NGF, EGF and CTGF, enhancing overall hormonal balance, alleviating overtraining, boosting recovery, enhancing the immune system and protecting against muscle loss.*

AXIS-HT FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: Is Axis-HT a prohormone?

A: No, Axis-HT is not a prohormone. Rather, it is a hormone amplifier, which maximizes your body’s natural production of testosterone. Prohormones either mimic a hormone, or convert to a hormone once ingested, which could lead to a decrease in the body’s natural hormonal production. Axis-HT contains ingredients such as Coleus Forskohlii and Inositol Hexaphosphate, both of which are termed “secondary and primary cell signalers,” essentially signaling the body to produce more testosterone. Along with these cell signalers, Axis-HT also contains Eurycoma Longifolia, which has been added to help free up bound testosterone in the body, making it available for the body to utilize. Again, this is just allowing your body to maximize natural production of testosterone.

Q: Will Axis-HT cause me to test positive for testosterone for my sport?

A: Axis-HT is not a prohormone or a steroid. Axis-HT naturally increases your body’s own testosterone production. It does not supply your body with any synthetic source of testosterone. That said, it’s important to understand that any increase in testosterone, be it synthetic or natural, may affect your body’s ratio of testosterone to epitestosterone, which is what is tested for. Before starting any testosterone-amplifying product like Axis-HT, it is important to consult with your physician, and also with the governing body for the association in which you compete. Only those two parties will be able to make the determination of its effect on your testing.

Q: Do I need to take an estrogen blocker with AXIS-HT™? Also, will I need post cycle therapy?

A: When taking Axis-HT, there is no need to take an estrogen blocker, or any need for post cycle therapy. The reason is that Axis-HT is a testosterone amplifier that relies on cell signalers to help maximize natural testosterone production. The main cell signaler in Axis-HT is Inositol Hexaphosphate (IP6, also known as phytic acid), which increases endorphin release, antioxidant activity, lipotropic action, stress reduction, GH stimulation, growth signaling mechanisms, and improves recovery due to increased testosterone levels. The secondary cell signaler in Axis-HT is Coleus Forskohlii. This compound increases the effect of cyclic AMP (cAMP), which is responsible for stimulating the Leydig cells of the testicles to produce more testosterone. This effect is very similar to that of Luteinizing hormone, which controls Leydig cell steroidogenesis by increasing androgen pathways via adenylate cyclase and cAMP controlled mechanisms. Also aiding in testosterone production is the inclusion of Eurycoma Longifolia, a compound that will bind to sex hormone binding globulin, allowing more free testosterone that has been produced by the body to be available. Axis-HT is simply increasing your body’s natural production of testosterone. Unlike a synthetic compound or a prohormone, you are not taking testosterone per say, or even a testosterone precursor. You are merely getting your body to produce the maximal amount of testosterone that it can. Since you are not adding an exogenous (outside) source of testosterone, there is not an excess of testosterone that could potentially convert to estrogen (aromatize). Thus, there is no need to take an estrogen blocker when you take Axis-HT. Additionally, as mentioned earlier there is also no need for post cycle therapy when you come off Axis-HT because logically speaking, your own natural testosterone production has not been suppressed.

Q: Why do you suggest being over 25 before I take Axis-HT?

A: After the age of 25, Mother Nature starts to run her course, and as a result, testosterone levels may start to decline in males. Prior to the age of 25, testosterone levels are near their peak. Remember, Axis-HT does not supply your body with an additional source of testosterone (exogenous). Rather, it simply helps to maximize the body’s natural production of testosterone. It stands to reason that if your body is already producing testosterone at full capacity (which is likely the case prior to 25 years of age), adding a supplement such as Axis-HT to your plan will not produce the yield you are looking for because it simply cannot increase testosterone levels past their maximum. This is why we recommend that you be over 25 years of age, prior to starting Axis-HT supplementation. This is a prime-time to introduce a testosterone amplifier supplement like Axis-HT for maximum recovery, aggression and libido.
