Ajuga Turkestanica Extract
Turkesterone is one of the primary bioactive compounds naturally occurring in Ajuga turkestanica -- a plant with a long history of use in traditional medicine for its anabolic, adaptogenic, hepatoprotective and hypoglycemic activity.
In Uzbekistan and Tadzhikistan, in particular, the plant has been valued for its beneficial effects on muscle strength and stomach aches as well as its protective action against heart diseases.
Turkesterone belongs to a family of compounds known as ecdysteroids -- anabolic compounds found in plants, arthropods, and certain fungi that regulate moulting and metamorphosis in insects and may also play a role in reproduction.
Turkesterone is an analogue of 20-hydroxyecdysone.
FYI...if that name sounds familiar, 20-hydroxyecdysone (ecdysterone) is the same compound found in AML Ecdysterone.
Turkesterone and ecdysterone are the two major ecdysteroids found in Ajuga turkestanica, each accounting for ~0.2–0.4% of dry weight of aerial parts.
more and more advertisements starting to pop up touting the plant, and more specifically turkesterone, as a “muscle building supplement?”
Second, ecdysteroids are responsible for growth (in plants and insects) and have a steroid backbone containing a Cis A/B ring junction, a 7-ene-6- one chromophore, and a 14α-hydoxyl group.
Third, ecdysteroid-enriched extracts of Ajuga turkestanica (as well as pure turkesterone) have also been found to display anabolic effects on muscles.
Fourth, turkesterone (as well as ecdysterone) possess anti-stress effects, which can indirectly support muscle building via optimizing cortisol levels in the body.
Fifth, extracts of ajuga turkestanica have been shown to activate Notch receptors in skeletal muscle cells, which helps stem cells to develop into new muscle cells.
Sixth, in vitro studies suggest that when muscle cells are exposed to Ajuga turkestanica ecdysteroids, myostatin expression is reduced. FYI, myostatin is a protein in the body that limits muscle growth. This same study also found that ecdysteroids were more effect myostatin inhibitors than methandienone -- the active compound in Dianabol.
But, perhaps the biggest reason supplement companies are flocking to this ingredient is based on the findings of a 2000 study which found that turkesterone possessed a greater anabolic effect than methandienone.
Turkesterone has gained a lot of attention amongst the bodybuilding community, with users reporting accelerated muscle growth without any side effects.
Turkesterone is an ecdysteroid, which is a hormonal steroid that is found in plants. Ecdysteroids can be compared to testosterone,due to their ability to induce growth. However, unlike testosterone, ecdysteroids do not bind to androgen receptors, and therefore do not cause any steroidal side effects , such as gynecomastia and hair loss. Although stimulating different anabolic pathways to androgenic steroids, turkesterone seems to be the most anabolic (muscle building) out of all the ecysteriods.
