If you’re training for size, you need to focus on all the components that play a role in this process. Your training has to be spot on, your diet has to consist of the right combination of macronutrients, and you have to recover completely. Don’t forget about your hormones! The body has several that play a role, including perhaps the most important: testosterone. Specifically “free” or “available” testosterone. Of course, 5% Nutrition has products that can help, and TestoSurge® is one of the key ingredients found in our Test Booster.
What Is TestoSurge®?
TestoSurge® is a patent-pending extract of fenugreek seed standardized to include a precise combination of steroidal and flavonoid glycosides. Easily one of the most impressive things about TestoSurge is that it works from the very first dose.
What Does TestoSurge® Do?
When testosterone is released into the bloodstream, about 60-70% of it binds to SHBG. The steroidal glycosides in TestoSurge® can enhance the effectiveness of natural testosterone by binding with SHBG.
What Is SHBG?
SHBG stands for sex hormone binding globulin, a protein primarily manufactured in your liver. It binds to testosterone in the blood. Also, it helps regulate the amount of active testosterone working in the body. When SHBG binds to testosterone, the muscles can't use it. They can only use "free” testosterone, which means it is available because it isn't attached to SHBG. (1)
In addition, the flavonoid glycosides in TestoSurge® help increase testosterone production. Also, it helps control 5-alpha reductase, an enzyme responsible for converting testosterone into DHT.
Plus, TestoSurge® can inhibit the PDE5 enzyme, enhancing vasodilation. Finally, TestoSurge® has studies backing up its effectiveness. (2, 3)
