Why Your Turkesterone Supplement Does Not Work

Turkesterone is one of the hottest bodybuilding and muscle-building supplements right now. However, high-quality turkesterone is hard to come by. Most turkesterone supplements being sold today are sourced from China. If one wishes to obtain the best turkesterone extract, several factors must be known. In this blog post, I will explain what to look for to buy high-quality turkesterone extract.

What is turkesterone

Turkesterone is a plant extract that can come from a variety of plants. The plant that produces the highest quality turkesterone powder for bodybuilding use is the Ajuga Turkestanica plant. This plant is almost grown exclusively in the country of Uzbekistan.

Only the country of Uzbekistan products high-quality turkesterone, NOT China!

Why Bodybuilders Like It

Turkesterone has been shown to help increase muscle protein synthesis by converting dietary protein into amino acids.

One of the most important aspects of buying a bodybuilding supplement is to make sure that it contains the highest quality ingredients. Unfortunately, the sports nutrition industry is notorious for supplements that contain cheap, generic ingredients from China. China manufactures most of the dietary supplements being sold in the United States, and their quality control is nothing short of subpar at best. To get the most effective results from a particular dietary supplement, a bodybuilder must be sure of the quality of the supplement. One such particular supplement is called Turkesterone. Real genuine turkesterone helps support net protein utilization and synthesis, but the it must come from Uzbekistan. Uzbekistan has the perfect climate to grow and harvest this bodybuilding ingredient. Most turkesterone supplements being sold today are nothing more than low-quality beta ecdysterone or low-grade synthetic turkesterone like an extract from China.

Bodybuilders can benefit from AjugTurk Supplementation

While it is true that good quality beta-ecdysterone has the potential to help with protein synthesis in the human body, turkesterone is known to be much better at increasing amino acid protein synthesis, which in turn helps build lean muscle mass. Additionally, if the turkesterone is combined with beta ecdysterone the results can be amplified. This combination makes for a great bodybuilding supplement to experiment with if one wishes to use natural ways to enhance their muscle mass instead of drugs, like anabolic steroids.

Real genuine turkesterone is extracted from the Ajuga Turkestanica plant. It is grown in one region of Uzbekistan, and the entire manufacturing process from plant to powder takes place under the watch of government officials. If turkesterone is not produced in Uzbekistan, then it is an inferior powder.

China Sells Inferior Turkesterone

The Chinese manufacturers are getting their Turkesterone from Ajuga Reptans or Ajuga Decumbens, which, not surprisingly, are both native to China. The result is low-grade extracts. The Chinese have selected these plants because they are from the same Lamiaceae plant genus as Ajuga Turkestanica. This is a deceptive tactic by these Chinese companies. However, there is a massive problem with this. These other types of plants can only yield an extract that is 2%. The Ajuga Turkestanica that comes from Uzbekistan yields 10%.

Different Types of Ecdysterone Types

Inferior Ecdysterone is manufactured from a variety of plant extracts. Manufacturing quality ecdysterone is very different. Producing high quality can only be done by strict quality control manufacturing. And for these reasons, the Chinese attempt to sell this ecdysterone as turkestrone. Ecdysterone can be produced from Cyanotis Vaga and Rhaponticum Carthamoides, and sometimes Cyanotis Arachnooidea. These plants are widely available in China, which produce ecdysterone, but very low quality. The end result is a product that comes nowhere’s near the quality of Ajuga Turkestanica Extract.

Playing Funny Games With Numbers

The Chinese sell ecdysterone with a specification sheet analysis typically with a 98% purity. One would think that this would mean out of 100 grams of powder, 98 grams is ecdysterone. This is entirely false. This 98% refers to the overall dry extract. However, the actual ecdysterone is only 2 to 3%. Ajuga Turkestanci Extract will typically be 10% ecdysterone and 20% turkesterone. In addition, Ajuga Turkesterone contains other beneficial phytonutrients such as cyasterone, ajugalactone, ajugasterone and a-ecdysone, which help with the overall effectiveness of the powder.

Let us be 100% clear. The highest a commercially manufactured powder can be is 10% turkesterone. Ten percent is the maximum percentage that any producer in Uzbekistan can manufacture. Claims of companies having 40% turkesterone powder are completely fabricated. And if they are claiming this percentage over 10% one can be sure they are surely not getting turkesterone powder, or it most likely is coming from China.

Making the Turkesterone better

There is an ingredient that is included in the Ajuga Turkestanic Extract supplement that we sell, and it is called succinic acid. Succinic acid is found naturally in many foods that we eat. Such as red grapes, seafood, apples, cheese, and some vegetables. Succinic acid helps maintain several things in the body, such as metabolism, cortisol control, energy, and cell regeneration. Succinic acid is naturally produced by the human body. Most people that are healthy, eating right, and exercising produce about 300mg per day. However, we theorize that most people do not produce this much. Thus supplementation with succinic acid is suggested.

Ajuga Turkestanica Extract (60 Capsules)

The succinic acid combined with the AjugaTurk supplement we sell is called AmberBoost. Both of these components have known adaptogenic properties for stress relief and increased energy levels. By adding succinic acid (Amberboost) the effects are amplified. The conversion of amino acids in dietary protein into muscle mass is the main benefit of this supplement.

How To Use AjugaTurk

We recommend using two to four capsules per day of this supplement. Using the supplement this way can help improve one’s metabolic balance by decreasing stress levels and increasing one’s energy. For bodybuilding purposes, AjugaTurk with Amberboost is a great way to naturally increase protein conversion.

Bottom LineOnly real genuine, highly effective turkesterone comes from Ajuga Turkestanica Extract that is from Uzbekistan. Anything else, which is most of the time from China, is inferior.

Update on Protein Factory’s Research and Development

The following blog post is to update my readers and customers about what Protein Factory is working on in the Research and Development department.

Bio Serum’sI am working on bringing these products to market. I have about three products that are in development. One of them is a total muscle growth formula that combines the Total Frag 250 with the Bio Serum. My idea with this powder is to make an overall muscle-building powder. One takes it grows, simple as that.

Pre Workout Formula (stimulant powder)Pre workout supplements that contain masssive amounts of caffeine, and I’m talking like 500mg are very popular. So I wanted to bring in a product that uses a different stimulant instead of caffeine. Again, I’m going to keep this very simple. I’m formulating it with just 2 or 3 ingredients. If one wants to get wired and “stimulated” like caffeine but better, this is going to be the product.

Next is an ingredient to add to your preworkout. Its a combo of a stimulant nootropic. When you use it your mouth gets a numbing tingline feeling. I like it alot.

Hair Loss.There is an ingredient that I have been working with that helps regrow hair and make it thicker.

My Breast Cancer 2021 Supplement List

I try every year to put out a list of some of my favorite supplements that may help support breast cancer.

It is that time of year again when everyone who does not have a clue starts wearing pink again for breast cancer awareness. If they only knew the truth about the color pink and breast cancer and how it truly came about, nobody would be wearing pink. If you have not been privy to this yet, I suggest you check out this article I wrote a few years back.  

I started to research supplements to help fight cancer after my mom died from cancer about ten years ago. She got breast cancer from the hormones the doctor prescribed to her, then the doctors treated her breast cancer with chemo and other cancer-causing drugs, which killed the breast cancer cells, but caused leukemia. She died from leukemia.  

It’s the year 2021, and nothing has changed, sadly. Doctors and the medical field are still trying to treat things like cancer, and now Covid with…..MORE drugs. Instead, the whole world needs to address cancer and Covid 19 by promoting a healthy lifestyle.  

But anyway, enough ranting, and let us get into some supplements that I feel will help one live a healthy, cancer-free life.

AHCC

This is a patented supplement from mushrooms. Well over 100 studies showing how it supports the fight against cancer. Supplement with this product daily is a great idea. Check out the research here.

Vitamin D

I have to put Vitamin D on this list because of the research pouring in due to Covid. This one is almost a no-brainer.  

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16380576/

Get our MagBlue product.

Quercetin

This one is new to the list, but I mentioned this in my article about Covid. Here is the research. However, make sure you get the right brand, which is very, very important. Get the Quercetin from Thorne Research.

Blueberries

My favorite fruit. Check out this study. My friends, you just can’t go wrong with consuming organic blueberries every day. If you don’t like them, then get my Blue Generator.

Finally, my best recommendation is to exercise and eat healthily.

I always tell people this.

Avoid

soyartificial ingredients and especially artificial colorsnitratessugarprocessed carbsartificial preservativessynthetic chemicals like soaps, toothpaste, deodorant, perfumes, and colognes.

You don’t have to be a crazy nut, but what I am saying is to make somewhat of a conscious effort to avoid these when possible.  

I’d also like to mention that my friend and long-time customer, whom I’m talking about for over 20 years, passed away from cancer last month. Ryan Feasal was an avid lifter and was a huge Ohio State football and Raider fan. More importantly, he would call me up all the time to talk about protein and lifting. We had some great laughs. He was a real ball buster. He swore by my Hydrolyzed 520. RIP Ryan and I still hope Ohio State loses, and I would have been busting your balls about the Raiders right now.

Finally, my dog Angus passed away from Cancer as well last month. RIP to my little buddy. Putting him to sleep was probably one of the hardest things I ever had to do. I love dogs and Angus was the best. I surely could do some research on supplements for dogs to help them prevent cancer. Seems every dog gets cancer.

Putting Together a Kov1d Supplement Stack For Emergency Use

Disclaimer: I’m not really a conspiracy theory guy, but I have enough wisdom to know some things. Therefore I spelled the name of the ailment incorrectly. I cannot help but see the research coming in about Kuv1d 19. It is just too fascinating and interesting for me to ignore. It literally touches everyone. I feel…

Putting Together a REDACTED Supplement Stack For Emergency Use

Disclaimer: I’m not really a conspiracy theory guy, but I have enough wisdom to know some things. Therefore I spelled the name of the ailment incorrectly.

I’m a supplement expert. My focus is obviously on bodybuilding, muscle, and sports nutrition with a concentration in protein powder. However, I do “dabble” in other areas. I like to research anti-cancer supplements, anti-aging, and now REDACTED. I venture into the other areas because I feel that I could help people out, because yes, my readers are into bodybuilding, however, like myself, one does have other interests. So If I can be of help in those areas as well, why not?

I cannot help but see the research coming in about REDACTED. It is just too fascinating and interesting for me to ignore. It literally touches everyone. I feel my job is to provide my readers and customers with the best information on supplements that I can find. That is what I have been doing for the past 20 plus years. If you want the best info on supplements, you come to Proteinfactory.com. If you want hype and smoke blown up your ass, head over to pretty much any other website. I almost feel it is my duty to supply my customers with this information about supplements and their effect on REDACTED. Because quite frankly, I feel it is not talked about enough.  

That being said, I have been reading a boatload of research coming in about REDACTED. Not only that but a lot of ingredient manufacturers over in Europe are producing compounds and raw materials to battle this thing. Therefore in this article, I am going to share with you some of my favorites.

Phytorelief-CC

Right off the bat, you have to go with Phytorelief-CC. That I feel is the best first line of defense, and of course, I have been preaching about it for months and months on end. You can get it right here and listen to my podcasts about it. 

PhytoRelief-CC®

Quercetin

I found some studies done in Italy that are super compelling. Essentially the researchers found that people that supplemented with quercetin and were also infected had much better outcomes than those without.

https://www.dovepress.com/possible-therapeutic-effects-of-adjuvant-quercetin-supplementation-aga-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-IJGM

Check out their conclusion.

Querefit is a safe agent and, in combination with standard care, when used in the early stage of viral infection, could aid in improving the early symptoms and help in preventing the severity of REDACTED disease. It is suggested that a double-blind, placebo-controlled study should be urgently carried out to confirm the results of our study.

Group QP is the quercetin group. NOBODY died and NOBODY in the ICU!!!

Now, if you are a Proteinfactory.com reader, you should know by now that you just don’t run out to Walmart and scan the aisle for quercetin and buy it. Do that, and you’ll end up with God knows what and most likely shit from China. Instead, you take my recommendation. And my recommendation is a product called Quercefit. I recommend this product because it is made by an unbelievable high-quality company, AND it is made to be 20X more absorbable than regular old Walmart-type quercetin. Now, where can you buy this?

Here is my recommendation

Now keep in mind the research calls for 1000mg per day. One bottle will last you two weeks. You will need a one-month supply. Thus, you will buy two bottles. 

How to use it.  

In my opinion, I would use it if I got infected without question. I mean, seriously, take a look at the results of the study that involved about 150 people. Out of the people took the Quercefit. Nobody died, and nobody needed oxygen, and nobody found themselves in the ICU. Yes, I have four bottles in my house. If I ever get it or a loved one…you can be sure they will be using this stuff. 

Vitamin D.

It is clear to me that people with low levels of Vitamin D have an issue with getting infected. Therefore my recommendation is to make sure that you are not one of those. One’s first source is Vitamin D is the sun. Get out outside, my friends. The easiest, in my opinion, is hiking or walking. Take a minimum 1-hour walk a day. Your dog will thank you.   

How To Get Vitamin D

My favorite way is eating mushrooms, shiitake in particular. But if you do not like mushrooms, then you can also get a supplement. The powder is the way to go. I would get an organic brand and go with the shiitake or the turkey tail.  

Heres the brand

How Much To Use.

Now the supplement facts panel on this product recommends two grams. But in my opinion that is not nearly enough. I would aim for 20 grams per day or ten at the minimum. One bottle of this stuff is about 200 grams; thus, I would get two bottles if I was to get infected.

In conclusion, this is the “emergency kit” I would have on hand if I became infected. Because as of right now, from what I have been reading, one cannot be treated at your local doctor’s office if one is infected. The doctor simply sends you home and tells you your SOL.
