MYODEX Advanced Testosterone Modulator 60 Capsules
Myodex: Advanced Testosterone Modulator
Myodex is formulated to increase your natural Free Testosterone levels by inhibiting its conversion into DHT and Estrogen.
Testosterone - it's a word that sparks visions of virility, athletic prowess and strong, lean muscles. It's the stuff that makes men... "men." However, supporting testosterone levels alone simply isn't enough.
Here's why: As testosterone is produced, two other "tag along" hormones try to "join the ride." We're talking DHT and Estrogen here. The process works something like a rheostat; as one hormone (testosterone) increases or decreases, related hormones rise and fall respectively. This is a normal biological function. However, this "normal biological function" is not always desirable. Let's explore this concept a bit further.
IT'S NOT A PRETTY SIGHT
DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is a powerful "spinoff" hormone of testosterone. Therefore, as testosterone is produced DHT is likely to rise. Here's the problem - DHT essentially "attacks" hair follicles. Over time, DHT "stressed" hair follicles can no longer maintain normal hair production. This is a primary culprit of male pattern baldness, otherwise known as the dreaded "chrome dome."
If that weren't bad enough, testosterone support can result in higher levels of Estrogen.
AN ENZYMATIC ASSAULT
So, you're probably wondering specifically how testosterone support can result in higher levels of DHT and Estrogen. After all, supporting the root cause of hormonal balances would likely allow for peak testosterone bioavailability. Good thinking, you're already considering the potential benefits of supporting healthy levels these "other" hormones.
Once produced, DHT and Estrogen are already "out there." Essentially, it's too late to get them under control. Therefore, the answer to managing them is to address and overcome the underlying factors that impact their production. The underlying "factors" are the enzymes 5a reductase and aromatase. 5a reductase converts testosterone into "shiny head"-promoting DHT. Aromatase converts testosterone into estrogen.
Undoubtedly, promoting a healthy balance of 5a reductase and Aromatase enzymes would likely allow for optimal testosterone production and bioavailability – while also supporting a healthy balance of DHT and Estrogen.*
ENTER... MYODEX
MYODEX is a one of a kind, Advanced Testosterone Modulator. "Oh, sure", you may be thinking, "This is just another testosterone booster." Nothing could be further from the truth. You see, "typical" testosterone boosters are designed to do just that – support testosterone levels. However, as we have revealed, boosting testosterone alone is not enough.
What makes MYODEX so unique is how it goes about supporting optimal testosterone flow and bioavailability.*
MYODEX is scientifically formulated to help boost testosterone by simultaneously helping reduce its conversion into DHT and Estrogen!*
By helping to counter 5a reductase and Aromatase, MYODEX directly addresses and resolves the limiting factors that reduce full testosterone functionality.*
Let's make this really simple. MYODEX is formulated to "hold back" the limiting factors, DHT and Estrogen, to promote production of Testosterone.* By harnessing this dual-force approach, MYODEX has unleashed the potential of your body to support Testosterone levels.*
The power of MYODEX is locked in the fully efficacious, advanced ProtectErone™ Proprietary Blend. ProtectErone™ houses the Estrogen reducing Complex and the DHT Inhibiting Complex.*
THE SCIENCE
The Estrogen Inhibiting Complex features full strength Quercetin and DIM.
Quercetin is a powerful flavonoid (a compound that gives plants their bright coloration) that functions as an antioxidant to help reduce the effects of free radicals and may even help support prostate health.* However, one of the more direct benefits of quercetin, relative to testosterone support, is its purported effect on reducing Aromatase enzymes.* Simply put - inhibition of Aromatase may promote testosterone production and less estrogen production.*
Axis Labs didn't stop there. A precise dose of DIM was incorporated to offer the most effective formula possible. DIM (Di-Indoly Methane) is a nutrient found naturally occurring in cruciferous vegetables. Examples include broccoli, kale, cabbage and Brussels sprouts. In simple terms, DIM may work by competing for metabolism with Estrogen.* Basically, it's one or the other. With DIM present in the system, Estrogen may "lose out."*
THE BOTTOM LINE
The DHT Inhibiting Complex is thoroughly loaded with Beta Sitosterol and Saw Palmetto.
Testosterone is hailed the "king of anabolic hormones." Adequate levels help promote lean mass, bone mineral density, and even positive mood.* When testosterone is at optimal levels, it helps support greater strength, vitality, mood and overall health.* With Axis Labs MYODEX, male support has never been more achievable.* MYODEX was expressly formulated to boost testosterone while helping reduce its conversion into DHT and Estrogen.* With MYODEX, you may support testosterone, healthy DHT and Estrogen conversion and promote vitality.*
Bottom line - the question isn't, "Why do I need this product?" it's "How soon can I start MYODEX?"
