Dear Fellow Lifter,
One word…Alpha…
The lead dog. The one everyone envies, whether they realize it or not…
…It’s built entire empires, even when those who possess it are short and fat, not even close to physical specimens…
Imagine if those individuals were also strong and ripped? It’s flat out scary just thinking about it…
It’s safe to say there’s not a man in America, or the world for that matter, that deep down doesn’t want more “alpha”…
Just a tad so the girl who doesn’t know you exist all of a sudden feels tingly upon your presence…
…So that moment of being tongue tied is replaced with laughter and room control…
So that dbag that likes to mess with you thinks twice and moves on to an easier target…
That’s what it means to activate your inner alpha.
USPlabs Test Powder:
The Alpha Activator
Ingredient Breakdown:
Trimethylglycine
This particular compound has been shown in several studies to possess exercise performance-enhancing effects1-4. For example, one study utilizing 12 young male subjects found that trimethylglycine was able to increase force production and muscular endurance after 2 weeks of supplementation. In addition, area under the curve (AUC) levels for the anabolic hormones, Growth Hormone (GH) and Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) were also increased from the 2 weeks of supplementation4. Furthermore, the area under the curve values for the catabolic hormone, cortisol, were decreased after supplementation with trimethylglycine in these subjects.
In short, there are data demonstrating that this compound can improve exercise performance and in at least one study, was shown to alter anabolic and catabolic hormones in a fashion that is conducive of muscle growth.
Aframomum Melegueta Extract
This particular plant extract has been traditionally used in western portions of Africa in order to support male function, as well as an aphrodisiac. Yet, only recently has various pharmacological investigations provided scientific evidence to support such a use. The first study in 2002, found that male rats given the plant extract displayed increased sexual arousal and activity5.
More recently, in 2011, a study found that using an in vitro yeast cell-based bioassay, the extract from this plant possessed strong anti-estrogenic properties6.
Finally and most recently, in 2012, a paper was published where the extract was again administered to rats and testosterone and body weight were recorded. It was shown that the extract increased body weight gain greater than that seen in the control group, while also increasing testosterone levels in serum by more than 300% compared to the control group7.
Garcinia Mangostana Fruit Peel Extract
This particular herb features a compound called gamma-mangostin. This compound has demonstrated estrogen synthase inhibitor activity 8.
D-Aspartic Acid (3120 mg)
In a study consisting of 23 men being given 3.12 grams per day (20 men were given placebo) over a 12 day period, it was found that 87% of those taking the D-aspartic acid experienced an increase of LH and testosterone; the average increase in LH and testosterone was 33.3% and 42%, respectively, compared to baseline9.
Prior studies in rats have also shown that d-aspartic acid can increase LH and testosterone levels.
In addition, it has also been shown to increase GH levels in rats as well10. There is even some evidence that it may increase nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and thus increase NO production11.
Agmatine Sulfate (1000 mg)
This particular compound has been shown in animals to potentially increase LH-RH and LH which in turn, could hypothetically increase testosterone levels12. In addition, it has also shown an ability to increase NOS activity in vitro and thus again, could hypothetically result in an increase in NO production13.
Quality Agmatine Sulfate is very expensive and difficult to source...
Test Powder contains 1000 mg of Agmatine Sulfate per serving, more than any other product on the market that we are aware of.
Mucuna Pruriens Extract
Mucuna pruriens seed powder was administered to infertile but otherwise healthy men for a period of 3 months. It was shown that compared to baseline, the men taking the mucuna pruriens experienced a statistically significant increase in serum testosterone while also experiencing a concurrent decrease in prolactin14.
L-Carnitine Tartrate
This particular compound has been shown to increase the expression of the androgen receptor (AR) in skeletal muscle15...
The more androgen receptors you have, the more testosterone that can bind to them on your muscle cells and that could potentially result in greater androgenic effects, especially as it relates to muscle gains and strength...
What’s the point of having all that extra testosterone floating around if you don’t have the androgen receptors around for it to dock to?
Think of it is this way. The androgen receptors are like the locks to a thousand mansions filled with whatever your heart desires. But, you still need the keys (testosterone) to get in. Without the lock (AR) and the key (testosterone), you’re not getting anywhere...
How Do I Take It?
Simple. Two scoops (10 grams) once a day with food. Use 6 days per week and take one day off per week, preferably a non-lifting day…
The taste is amazing and it’s a joy to drink…
WARNING: We are serious when we say take with food. It’s simply too stacked to take on an empty stomach for most. After you eat, enjoy your Test Powder. Using a 500 mg capsule as an example, Test Powder is so stuffed with ingredients it’s the equivalent of taking 20 capsules…this stuff is loaded!
Directions for use: As a dietary supplement, mix two level scoops (10 grams) with 8-10 ounces of water and drink once per day with morning meal, 6 days per week. If you forget to take it with a morning meal, you can take it with any other meal of the day as the product is CNS stimulant free. For best results, use in conjunction with proper nutrition & training program. Use for a maximum of 4 weeks followed by a 4 week break.
