What is turkesterone?

Turkesterone is one of the primary bioactive compounds naturally occurring in Rhaponticum Carthamoides.

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 Rhaponticum Carthamoides, each accounting for ~0.2–0.4% of dry weight of aerial parts.

Voordelen

When it comes to putting on lean muscle mass and building strength, how good is turkesterone? Here’s what research tells us about its potential benefits:

1. May Help You Put on Muscle Mass

There’s evidence that turkesterone can help increase muscle growth and one’s muscle-to-fat ratio, thereby improving body composition. It may also have some anti-obesity and metabolic-boosting effects, according to certain animal studies.

It seems to do this by lowering lipid absorption, possibly shifting glucose metabolism and fighting insulin resistance, and supporting muscle synthesis in several ways, such as by boosting uptake of the amino acid leucine in muscle cells.

2. May Enhance Exercise Performance

Ecdysteroids can increase ATP synthesis, which helps power muscles, improve endurance and prevent feelings of fatigue. This can translate to more intense workouts and help with building strength and stamina.

There’s lots of anecdotal evidence from users of edystreoids that they help improve one’s ability to lift more and recovery more easily after tough workouts.

3. Can Assist in Muscle/Exercise Recovery

Studies show that turkesterone can help repair muscle fibers that have been broken down after exercise and increase glycogen concentrations in muscles, which can help remove lactic acid and support workout recovery. Aanvullend, it’s thought to help maintain a positive nitrogen balance, which facilitates muscle growth.

4. Has Adaptogenic (Stress-Fighting) Effects

Turkesterone is considered an adaptogen, much like ashwagandha or rhodiola. It supports mental health by helping the body cope with stress and fatigue. Some find that it improves sleep and reduces anxiety, brain fog, feelings of “burnout” and low motivation, which can be a symptom of depression. Mechanisms of action are thought to include its ability to support neurotransmitter production and assist in gut health, which helps promote a healthy “gut-brain connection.” It may also help fight inflammation, boost antioxidant status, and improve digestion and immune function, as immunity is compromised when someone is under a lot of stressed and fatigued.
