Core Labs M-Sten 60 caps

NAC (N-Acetyl L-Cysteine) – 350 mg: N-Acetyl L-Cysteine, or NAC, is derived from the amino acid L-cysteine, which is a building block for protein. NAC is particularly noteworthy for its role in synthesizing glutathione, a powerful antioxidant produced naturally by the body. Glutathione is crucial in neutralizing free radicals, supporting the immune system, and detoxifying harmful substances in the liver. Additionally, NAC has mucolytic properties, meaning it can help break down mucus, which is why it’s often recommended for conditions that affect the respiratory system, such as bronchitis or cystic fibrosis. Its detoxifying effects are also why it may be included in supplements intended for liver health, and it has been studied for its potential benefits in psychiatric and neurological disorders due to its antioxidant properties.

M-STEN (2,17α-dimethyl-5α-androsta-1-en-17β-ol-3-one) – 10 mg: M-STEN is a synthetic derivative that falls under the category of prohormones. As a prohormone, M-STEN is a precursor to certain hormones in the body. Upon ingestion, it is converted by enzymatic reactions to its active form, which then exerts effects similar to those of naturally occurring hormones that regulate and promote muscle tissue development, potentially enhancing physical strength and muscle mass. These properties make M-STEN a popular choice among individuals aiming to augment muscle development and improve physical performance.

Vitamin E (TPGS) – 10 mg: Vitamin E is a collective name for a group of fat-soluble compounds with distinctive antioxidant activities. TPGS is a form of vitamin E that is water-soluble, which can be advantageous for improving the absorption of substances that are otherwise difficult for the body to utilize. TPGS is synthesized from natural vitamin E and polyethene glycol and is known as a tocopheryl polyethene glycol succinate. It is commonly used in drug delivery systems due to its ability to enhance the solubility and bioavailability of drugs. As an antioxidant, vitamin E helps protect cell membranes from damage caused by free radicals, which are harmful molecules that can lead to cell damage and contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease and cancer. Vitamin E affects immune function, cellular signalling, and other metabolic processes. The specific inclusion of TPGS in this supplement suggests an intention to boost its absorption and effectiveness.

 

DOSAGE-TIMING-FALLOW-UP:

Daily Intake: Take one capsule daily with a meal to enhance absorption.

Cycling: It is generally recommended to limit prohormones like M-STEN to short cycles due to their potent effects on the body’s hormonal balance. An example cycle might be:

On-Cycle Duration: 4-6 weeks of continuous use.

Off-Cycle Break: At least 4-6 weeks off to allow your body to recover.

Post-Cycle Therapy (PCT)

PCT Duration: Begin PCT immediately after the on-cycle ends and continue for 4-6 weeks.

PCT Purpose: The goal is to restore the body’s natural hormone production and mitigate any side effects from hormonal imbalances caused by the prohormone.

PCT Supplements may include natural testosterone boosters, estrogen blockers, and liver support supplements. Specific compounds can include:

Natural Testosterone Boosters: Fenugreek, Tribulus Terrestris, D-Aspartic Acid.

Estrogen Blockers: Aromatase inhibitors to prevent the conversion of testosterone to estrogen.

Liver Support: NAC (already included in the product), Milk Thistle, or TUDCA.

On-Cycle Support (Protectives)

Liver Support: Even though NAC is included in the product, additional liver support may be beneficial.

Blood Pressure and Cholesterol Management: To support cardiovascular health, consider supplements like Omega-3 fatty acids, CoQ10, or Red Yeast Rice.

Joint Support: If experiencing joint discomfort, glucosamine and chondroitin can be beneficial.

Duration of Use

Total Duration: It is not recommended to exceed more than two cycles per year to prevent undue stress on the body.

Warnings and Precautions

Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement, especially one that affects hormone levels.

Regular blood work is recommended to monitor your health markers, such as liver enzymes, lipid profile, and hormone levels.

Pay close attention to your body’s reactions to the supplement and discontinue use if you experience adverse effects.
