The latter is native to the Central Asian region and grows mainly on the territory of Uzbekistan. Turkesterone belongs to the ecdysteroid hormones that promote the growth of plants or insects, which makes them considered anabolic substances. Among its other representatives is also slightly more popular <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/ecdysterone-gymbeam.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Ecdysterone<\/a>. Ecdysteroid hormones<strong>&nbsp;resemble androgens in their structure and are therefore popular among athletes as a<\/strong> <strong>steroid replacement,<\/strong> and as dietary supplements to improve performance and muscle growth. And it is <strong>turkesterone that is the most effective of them, according to current knowledge.<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[1-2]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Its chemical structure is actually similar to human testosterone, which we associate mainly with male health and also with muscle growth. This has brought turkesterone to the attention of a number of bodybuilders and other athletes who want to get the most out of themselves. This is because testosterone levels in the body naturally decline over the course of our lives. That&#8217;s why athletes seeking maximum musculature often look for ways <strong>to keep testosterone at optimal levels or increase it further, taking their form to a new level.<\/strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"> [1-2]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to optimal training loads, recovery and a fine-tuned diet, these athletes also try <strong>natural supplements<\/strong> containing bioactive substances and plant-based steroids, such as turkesterone. Moreover, according to the latest research, it is safe for your health and does not belong to doping substances, as is the case with testosterone. But does turkesterone really have the effects that have been written about it? <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[1-2]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1124\" height=\"749\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.cz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/iStock-1255830352-1124x749.jpg\" alt=\"What is turkesterone?\" class=\"wp-image-352118\" style=\"width:843px;height:562px\" title=\"What is turkesterone?\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/iStock-1255830352-1124x749.jpg 1124w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/iStock-1255830352-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/iStock-1255830352-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/iStock-1255830352-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1124px) 100vw, 1124px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_expected_benefits_of_turkesterone\"><\/span>What are expected benefits of turkesterone?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After reading all the effects listed, you may think that you have just discovered the holy grail of strength sports.

Muscle growth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most bodybuilders and even ordinary gym-goers dream to have even bigger muscles, without the effort and side effects of anabolic steroids. Many of them are already trying to achieve this by taking turkesterone. It is believed that this substance <strong>can increase muscle protein synthesis (MPS &#8211; Muscle<\/strong> <strong>Protein Synthesis).<\/strong> In doing so, the body repairs, rebuilds and builds muscle mass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The anabolic effects of turkesterone have been confirmed in animal studies, but also in vitro (on a sample in the laboratory). With it, scientists observed an <strong>increase in the process of muscle<\/strong> <strong>mass formation by 20%.<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[2, 11-12]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A 2019 study also produced impressive results. Its participants were divided into 3 groups, each taking different amounts of ecdysteroids (ecdysterone).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>After 10 weeks,<\/strong> the group taking the highest dose <strong>(800 mg) had gained 2 kg of muscle. <\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In comparison, the group taking the <strong>lowest dose (200 mg) achieved a muscle growth of 1.6 kg. <\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Participants with placebo experienced the smallest increase in muscle mass.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>But most experts are <strong>sceptical<\/strong> about the study. According to the subsequent laboratory analysis, the ecdysteroid supplement contained only <strong>6 mg of the active ingredient instead of 100 mg,<\/strong> which they say is not enough for such a large effect on muscle growth. Moreover, body composition was measured using bioimpedance, which is not accurate enough for scientific purposes. <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[11-12]<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, there are other studies that have also been done on ecdysterone, and these have not confirmed its positive effects on muscle growth. In one of them, strength athletes took 200 mg, 800 mg or 1000 mg of ecdysterone daily for eight weeks. <strong>In neither group did the researchers observe any changes in testosterone levels, strength abilities or body composition.<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[13]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Next study investigated the effect of this substance on increasing muscle protein synthesis (MPS) in mice. No positive changes in muscle mass formation were then observed. Even when co-administered with leucine, the anabolic effect of leucine was reduced. <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[14] <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>While the results from some studies look promising, there are others that have come up with the opposite finding. So we can&#8217;t yet draw definite conclusions based on them. There is currently a lack of good quality studies that prove or disprove the anabolic effect of turkesterone. If your goal is to grow muscle mass,<strong> it is still true that a well-designed training and supplementation plan, diet, adherence to the principle of progressive overload and sufficient rest are essential. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>However, dietary supplements can also be part of a comprehensive approach that is scientifically sufficient and as yet insufficiently validated.

But that&#8217;s not the only potential effect of turkesterone on athletic performance. Ecdysteroids can also help <strong>increase glycogen stores in the body<\/strong> in general, according to a number of scientific papers. These in turn are directly related to the production of energy in the form of ATP, which is the basic fuel unit in the body, just like petrol or diesel in internal combustion engines. This allows to exercise for longer periods of time without feeling fatigued. This effect has so far only been described in animals. However, we will have to wait to confirm or refute its effectiveness in humans. <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[18-20]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which substances can enhance athletic performance?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/creatine\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\"><strong>Creatine<\/strong><\/a> helps to restore ATP during physical activity.

This often happens when taking anabolic steroids. <strong>For this reason, it is not necessary to interrupt its supplementation for some time.<\/strong> However, most users of turkesterone take a few weeks break after 8-12 weeks of taking it.
