First, Fenugreek can elevate luteinizing hormone (LH) by as much as 700% and in turn stimulates the leydig cells in the testes to produce testosterone at 45% higher than normal. Next there is Long Jack and 3,4-divanillyltetrahydrofuran (stinging nettle). Both free testosterone from the sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG). As testosterone is inactive when bound to SHBG it is therefore beneficial to free it up to become an active hormone. Also, Long Jack and Horny Goat Weed have been used for years as male potency herbs to increase performance. Last is Methoxyisoflavone that supports the actions of testosterone and raises nitrogen retention, which is essential for muscle repair and growth. It helps fight catabolism by slightly suppressing cortisol levels, and also aids in nutrient partitioning by pushing nutrients into muscle cells and not fat cells.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis testosterone increase will also aid in protein synthesis and increase the rate of protein storage within the muscles, and therefore will increase muscle growth. Testosterone also blocks the actions of enzymes that are responsible for fat storage, so it makes it harder for your body to store excess calories as fat. To aid further in fat burning, we also included cAMP. This is the main ingredient for increasing the rate of fat burning within the body, and a growth hormone inducer matrix which will aid in recovery while you sleep and also act upon fat cells to release energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenefits you will see from Tauro-Test\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTauro-Test will support your existing regime and deliver results you haven’t experienced before.

The inhibition of cholesterol synthesis results in impaired muscle functions, increased muscular damage and finally, muscular necrosis. To maintain membrane integrity, muscle cells rely on cholesterol synthesis. Increased intramuscular HMB may provide a readily available substrate for synthesizing cholesterol needed to form and stabilize the muscle cell membrane. HMB has been shown to up-regulate muscle synthesis by activating the mTOR pathway, and to decrease muscle breakdown by influencing the ubiquitin-proteasome dependent pathways of protein degradation. Simply put HMB shifts the balance of protein synthesis, tipping the scale in muscle's favor. When protein synthesis equals protein breakdown, there is no net gain of muscle protein. This is important in maintaining\/increasing strength. Therefore, the increase in protein synthesis and decrease in protein breakdown achieved through HMB supplementation results in greater strength gains and faster recovery via net gains in muscle protein.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHOW DOES HMB STACK UP SCIENTIFICALLY?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHMB has been extensively studied in athletes, alone and in combination with other supplements (such as creatine), as an adjunct to exercise to help improve body composition, strength, and performance. More than 50 human clinical studies, 20 review articles and two meta-analyses published in peer reviewed journals have demonstrated HMB's effectiveness in increasing lean body mass, strength, decreasing markers of muscle damage and reducing muscle soreness. Furthermore, HMB's benefits have been demonstrated in trained and untrained individuals, men and women, ranging from young adults to seniors. Let's take a brief look at a few key studies that demonstrates HMB's ergogenic effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHMB supplementation improves muscular strength, power and body composition\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrength gains are maximized with the use of HMB. A meta-analysis of resistance-exercise training studies shows HMB supplementation results in increased strength gain. The studies showed increases for trained and untrained, young and elderly, and men and women. While the magnitude of the effect varies with training intensity and population studied, the overall effect was clear. HMB significantly increases strength gains when supplemented during resistance-exercise training.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 1996 study by Nissen et al. discovered that resistance training in combination with HMB supplementation in 36 women and 39 men with varying levels of training experience for 4 weeks resulted in greater upper body strength (7.5kg for HMB compared to 5.2kg in the placebo group) and greater increases in lean body mass (1.4kg vs. 0.9kg)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 2016 study conducted by Wilson et al. investigated the effects of 12 weeks of HMB and ATP administration on lean body mass (LBM), strength, and power in trained individuals. A 3-phase double-blind, placebo-, and diet-controlled study was conducted. Phases consisted of an 8-week periodized resistance training program (phase 1), followed by a 2-week overreaching cycle (phase 2), and a 2-week taper (phase 3). Lean body mass was increased by a combination of HMB\/ATP by 12.7%.. In a similar fashion, strength gains after training were increased in HMB\/ATP-supplemented subjects by 23.5%. Vertical jump and Wingate power were increased in the HMB\/ATP-supplemented group compared with the placebo-supplemented group, and the 12-week increases were 21.5 and 23.7%, respectively. During the overreaching cycle, strength and power declined in the placebo group (4.3-5.7%), whereas supplementation with HMB\/ATP resulted in continued strength gains (1.3%). In conclusion, HMB-FA and ATP in combination with resistance exercise training enhanced lean body mass, power, and strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 2011 study conducted by Muller aimed to determine whether HMB supplementation would increase the Lean Body Mass (LBM) and muscle power output (measured as the load a subject can bench press) of males who resistance train for recreational purposes, after a combination of resistance weight training, eating a balanced set diet and supplementation with HMB for 8 weeks. Two homogenous groups of 20 males were evaluated for initial strength capabilities and body composition. For 8 weeks the subjects lifted weights three times a week and followed a balanced diet. Creatinekinase activity decreased with HMB supplementation. Gains in muscle power output were greater in the experimental group, and fat percentage decreases were recorded with HMB supplementation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHMB supplementation reduces markers of exercise induced muscle damage and improves recovery\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's as true for the casual athlete as it is for the serious competitor: people really feel the effects of a workout the next day. Yet, HMB is shown to benefit anyone involved in strenuous activity by minimizing muscle damage. HMB minimizes muscle damage during hard exercise by minimizing protein breakdown. Less protein breakdown means improved muscle cell stability and less membrane damage. This reduction in muscle cell damage (leakage) is measured by a reduction of muscle damage markers such as creatine phosphokinase (CPK) in the blood stream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 2013 study conducted by Wilson et al. studied the effects of short-term supplementation with the free acid form of β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HMB-FA) on indices of muscle damage, protein breakdown, recovery and hormone status following a high-volume resistance training session in trained athletes. A total of twenty resistance-trained males were recruited to participate in a high-volume resistance training session centered on full squats, bench presses and dead lifts. Subjects were randomly assigned to receive either 3 g\/d of HMB-FA or a placebo. Immediately before the exercise session and 48 h post-exercise, serum creatine kinase (CK), urinary 3-methylhistadine (3-MH), testosterone, cortisol and perceived recovery status (PRS) scale measurements were taken. The results showed that CK increased to a greater extent in the placebo (329 %) than in the HMB-FA group (104 %). There was also a significant change for PRS, which decreased to a greater extent in the placebo than in the HMB-FA group. Muscle protein breakdown, measured by 3-MH analysis, numerically decreased with HMB-FA supplementation and approached significance. There were no acute changes in plasma total or free testosterone, cortisol or C-reactive protein. In conclusion, these results suggest that an HMB-FA supplement given to trained athletes before exercise can blunt increases in muscle damage and prevent declines in perceived readiness to train following a high-volume, muscle-damaging resistance-training session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn support of the above study a 2012 study conducted by Sikorski et al. examined the acute effects of HMB free acid supplementation on muscle damage and perceived recovery scale (PRS) when initiating a high-volume resistance-training program. The results showed that when compared to placebo, HMB free acid resulted in decreased CPK indicating decreased muscle damage, and an increase in PRS meaning the subjects felt more recovered 48 hours after the training. In conclusion, HMB free acid minimized the initial muscle damage and improved recovery in trained athletes initiating a high-volume training program.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHMB supplementation improves aerobic performance\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHMB improves aerobic performance in average, everyday athletes. HMB is shown to increase maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) and improve the respiratory compensation point (RCP). It appears that HMB may reduce metabolic acidosis, and the research also shows that it helps athletes tolerate high-intensity activity over a long period of time. Research also shows that HMB lengthens the time to the onset of blood lactate accumulation (OBLA). HMB improves the training status of endurance athletes for positive effects on endurance performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a 2016 study conducted by Jeszka et al., HMB was supplemented in a double-blinded, placebo-controlled, crossover design in 58 highly trained males. To qualify the subjects had to have a minimum of 5 years training and a minimum of 4 sessions weekly in their sport discipline. The authors concluded that HMB had advantageous changes in increasing fat free mass and reducing fat mass, while also improving indicators of aerobic metabolism such as VO2max, time to ventilatory threshold and power at ventilatory threshold.\u003cbr\u003eIn a 2015 study conducted by Michalski et al. sixteen elite rowers were supplemented with HMB for 12 weeks in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study. VO2max increased with HMB supplementation as well as time to ventilatory threshold, threshold load, and threshold heart rate. The researchers concluded that supplementing with HMB was advantageous for endurance athletes in increasing aerobic capacity and power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2001 Vukovich et al. conducted a double-blind switchback study with HMB, leucine, and placebo. The results showed that HMB supplementation increased the cyclists' endurance as measured by VO2 peak and lactate threshold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHOW TO TAKE HMB\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recommended dosage of HMB is three grams per day for average-size individuals. If you want to \"customize\" your dosage, research has shown that 38 mg per kg or 17 mg per pound of body weight each day is optimal (see chart for simplified dosage scale).
