Beta-X Supreme

Highest milligram capsule on the market! This is one of the hottest new supplements on the "Sports Supplement Review" trends this year. This an active component called beta-ecdyterone, which, if taken in the right dosages, will prove to be the most significant bodybuilding supplement ever in the years to come. There have been over 50 studies regarding ecta-ecdysterone where there as been a marked increase in protein synthesis, work capacity, and anti-oxidant effect. Vince Andirch, Sports Supplement Review 4th Edition, says all these studies point to a marked increase in protein synthesis, work capacity, and an antioxidant effect. He is really impressed and says this stuff is the "Real Deal"!!

The New Breed of New Anabolic Supplements
This compound is isolated from a couple of herbs, namely Rhaponanticum/Leuzeae and Cyantosis vaga - which means they are phytochemicals or derived from plants in nature. Since the active ingredient ecdysterone originates from plants, the compound is definitely natural as you will see as an scientific data that has been collected on this ingredient is truly amazing. For more information, read below.

If taken in the right dosages Beta-X will prove to be one of the most significant bodybuilding supplement ever in the years to come!

OVERVIEW
Beta-X contains the herbal compound Cyanotis Vaga Extract standardized to 20-hydroxy ecdysterone. There have been over 50 studies regarding one of the active components of Cyanotis vaga - beta ecdysterone. These studies all point to a marked increase in protein synthesis, work capacity, or an antioxidant effect. The recommended dosage is 30-40 mg three times per day with high protein meals.

HISTORY
According to Sport Supplement Review, over three years ago the common belief was that ecdysterone was not a valuable supplement for bodybuilders or athletes. Much of the disregard for this compound was based on the fact that up until last year there weren't any solid raw material suppliers that could produce high-potency ecdysterone. Today, however, raw material suppliers that specialize in standardizing herbs have changed the market for ecdysterone considerably. Back then, there was an issue with standardizing particular herbs for the active ingredient, ecdysterone. During the last 12 months, researchers that work on standardizing special herbs have discovered a methodology to "concentrate" the ecdysterone in raw Cyanotix vaga herbs up to 97%. To put this in perspective, if you could get a 5% extract for ecdysterone in 1997, you would have had to pay an enormous amount of money and literally have to go on a waiting list to get the stuff. This is big news for athletes. There is an impressive list of scientific studies on ecdysterone performed in healthy athletes that demonstrate gains in lean muscle size and enhanced performance - but only when the compound is very pure and concentrated. Many of these studies were done in the Soviet Union around 1988, and the researchers hypothesized that the mechanism of action for this compound is that it may help to increase hepatic protein synthesis and subsequently promote positive nitrogen balance! These are two critical factors for anyone trying to add lean mass, since the more nitrogen your body maintains and the greater the rate of protein synthesis THE MORE MASS!

HOW DOES IT WORK?
The basic effect from the consumption of ecdysterone seems to positively regulate the protein balance of the organism. Researcher V. Smetanin from the Smolenk State Medical Institute in Russia speculates that a decrease in bodily urea and an increase in hemoglobin levels stimulate the anabolic process in protein metabolism. Other data indicates that of an adaptogenic trait where the compound allows an organism to rapidly adapt to an environment and the stresses placed upon it. In any case, data firmly shows that this compound possessed effects that prevent the loss of muscle mass and promote the growth of contractile fibers.

Research on ecdysterone has looked at many different variables including, work capacity, immune function, lean body mass, fat loss and many others. Most of this research points to a direct effect on increasing lean mass, especially when combined with some form of protein.

In a study by Simakin, 78 highly trained athletes were assessed for muscle tissue mass and fat mass while consuming either a placebo, protein, or ecdysterone with a protein supplement. Results were greatest in the group consuming both ecdysterone and protein. In this group, a 6-7% increase in lean muscle tissue after 10 days of the test was observed. In addition, in the same test, fat content was reduced by an average of 10% for males and females in the same time frame. Additionally, this study assessed different safety parameters and hormonal markers, which yielded no differences between groups.

In addition to these effects, a study by Fadeev, B.G. et al., performed with 112 athletes revealed that 89% of those receiving ecdysterone reported less fatigue, improved performance, less apathy, and greater speed-strength qualities. Furthermore, these effects were noted no later than the fifth day after administration of the compound and lasted until the end of the protocol! Here again, the best news of all is that this study reported no side effects!

B. Ya. Smetanin, 1986, performed a trial using 117 highly qualified speed skaters aged 18-28, tests for work capacity, body weight, lung capacity, and VO2 max were measured. Results from the data showed an increase in all the above parameters. Also, a tendency toward an increase in the exhalation of CO2 and O2 pulse max was seen.

IS IT SAFE?
By now, you should realize that this stuff works, but is it safe? For starters, a complete material safety data sheet and LD50 test (12/31/98) has been done on ecdysterone, performed by ICN Biochemical, showing a very low toxicity level. The LD50 data obtained showed a toxic dose to be 6400 \ mg/kg. This data would equate to 494,528 mg for a 170 lb person, a factor of 4,121 beyond that of which a person should consume. Furthermore, several studies address human endocrine data regarding this compound's effect. The data shows that this compound does not exert any effect on the hormonal system in mammals, namely humans!To access this data, various parameters have been measured including insulin, testosterone, \ cortisol, ACTH, growth hormone, and leutinizing hormone.
