THE IMPORTANCE OF
TESTOSTERONE

The way one approaches exercise will have a large influence on the expected outcome
and generally the higher the intensity of your exercise, the more muscle growth you
stimulate, and the greater the testosterone production in your body. Testosterone
levels have a direct correlation with lower body fat percentage and greater muscle
mass.

Testosterone is a hormone that is more prominent in men than women and when at an
optimum level it can boost muscle growth, burn fat, support mood, improve sleep,
increase energy and libido. Testosterone levels start to decline when a male reaches
their late 20’s / early 30’s and this shift is the reason for harder muscle gains, inefficient
fat burning and has a direct impact on mood.

Testosterone levels in athletes is directly proportional to their overall ability to perform

their physical / mental task. When testosterone levels begin to decrease in people, it
becomes much more difficult for them to gain muscle and perform at their peak, which
is why it may be necessary for many performers to help supplement their body with
testosterone to continue performing at their peak while avoiding injuries. Testosterone
has two main properties:
Anabolic: The promotion of production of proteins that aid in muscle growth
Androgenic: The enhancement of male traits such as jaw widening, facial hair,
deeper voice, etc.

Testosterone is an anabolic steroid hormone produced in your body and your

body’s capability of producing this hormone can be influenced with the use of a
variety of supplementation regimes. There are many supplements on the market
and most of these supplements are being abused to enhance testosterone.

Supplements can be a great way to enhance performance and aid the building of
muscle mass, and it is important to understand both the benefits and risks associated
to each ingredient in these supplements. There are several active ingredients that can
assist with natural testosterone production without any wanted side effects. GMT labs
provides a new approach to scientifically formulated products with the focus being on
quality raw ingredients with beneficial synergistic properties that allows one to improve
their lifestyle without compensating for their future health and well-being.

“Steroids that enhance performance and aid muscle building are typically synthetic
modifications of testosterone. There are various risks linked to taking steroids, and
in the UK using and taking steroids is illegal, as a Class C drug under the Misuse of
Drugs Act 1971. The use of steroids is also prohibited in most sports.”
SELECTIVE ANDROGEN RECEPTOR
MODULATORS (SARMS)

Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator (SARMs) are a novel class of

cutting-edge performance enhancing supplements which exhibit similar
effects to androgenic drugs but are much more selective in their actions
and have minimised side effects. They work by binding to your androgen
receptors, through targeted tissue selection.
SARMs represent a step towards safer class of androgenic supplements
and their usage extends beyond muscle building and fat loss and well
into the medical space as the medical applications are limitless.

SARMS were in fact created by accident. In the early Nineties a Professor

James T Dalton was working on cutting edge treatments for Prostate
cancer. When he stumbled across molecule andarine (The first SARM) ,
although molecule anadarine was not very effective with regards to
treating prostate cancer, it showed remarkable effects on enhancing
muscle growth.

SARMS development has come a long way since then and these days
there are SARMS for all sorts of physical enhancements. The most
notable use is in the Body Building world where incredible gains in
physical strength and muscle are achieved as well as the promotion of
lean muscle and fat loss. In the medical space, there are countless peer
reviewed studies that show the medical applications of SARMS in
conditions that result in muscle loss, Chemotherapy recovery and
weight management to name but a few. In short, SARMS are the cutting
edge of medical innovation.
WHAT’S IN OUR YK-11 ADVANTAGE STACK?

BRANCHED-CHAIN AMINO ACIDS (BCAA)

[2:1:1 LEUCINE:VALINE:ISOLEUCINE]
BCAA’s include three essential amino acids (Valine, Leucine Isoleucine) that are incredible
components to support your exercise regime. They work to reduce fatigue, muscle damage and
inflammation/pain as well as promote muscle building and recovery during/after exercising.
Additionally, BCAA’s get converted into glutamine in muscles, which fuels immune cells.

MEDIUM CHAIN TRIGLYCERIDES

(CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC ACID; 60:40) POWDER
These are very easily digested chains of fats (triglycerides) that are commonly found in popular
oils such as coconut oil. MCT oil is commonly used as a powerful energy source in ketogenic
diets, or for breaking a fast. Studies show that they promote weight-loss, reduce lactic acid
build-up from exercise, provide an efficient source of energy to your brain and muscles, reduce
risk factors for heart disease, as well as assist in managing blood sugar levels.

MCT oil is also an incredible binding agent for fat-soluble pharmacological compounds
whereby it increases their bioavailable and improves absorption across your gut membrane.

MAGNESIUM CITRATE
Magnesium is an incredible mineral found in the earth, sea, plants and animals, and is involved in
hundreds of biochemical reactions in your body. It acts as an enzymatic cofactor and is involved in
over 600 reactions essential for creating energy, protein formation, Nucleic acid reparation and
production, muscle contractions/movements, CNS regulation.

Magnesium assists with exercise and recovery in a multitude of ways, whereby it is not only good
for improving endurance, but also helps prevent muscle cramps and aches.

POMEGRANATE PEEL EXTRACT

Pomegranates are incredible fruits packed with essential vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants, with
a broad range of benefits from promoting skin health and anti-aging, to increasing immunity and
protecting your heart.

Pomegranate peel powder has proven to arrest hair loss, improve cholesterol, reduce oxidative
stress, lower blood pressure, increase bone density and health as well as reduce gut-inflammation.

They are also rich in nitrates, which contribute to vasodilation, further assisting in exercise by
promoting blood flow and increasing your “pump”

ZINC CITRATE

Zinc is known for its incredible immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects, but it also plays a
large role in maintaining sufficient testosterone levels, improving sex drive, increasing muscle and
bone strength, assisting in metabolic functions, DNA and protein production as well as cell division.

NIACIN (VITAMIN B3)

Like all other B Vitamins, Niacin forms an integral part of energy production through the conversion
of various carbohydrates into glucose. Additionally, it is recommended to supplement with if you are
predisposed to heart conditions or bad cholesterol, since it reverses the hardening of arteries in the
heart.

Overall vitamin B3 plays a role in aiding digestion, mental health, heart health, CNS, skin balance,
hormone production and is a precursor for NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide), an essential
coenzyme present in all cells for its vital role in energy production. Overall, Vitamin B3 is essential for
energy and cell function, enhanced strength and endurance as well as improved blood flow.

PYRIDOXINE (VITAMIN B6)

Pyridoxine is a significant B vitamin that plays an integral protein, fat and carbohydrate metabolism,
as well as the creation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. It plays an important role in
maintaining your mood, promoting brain health, ensuring adequate oxygen levels throughout your
body and improving blood flow.
 YK-11 STACK

YK-11
is a super-SARM synthetically based on 5-α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone naturally found in
the human body. DHT is a stronger and more active form of testosterone which increases muscle
mass, stimulates fat loss, improves libido, hardens muscles, and enhances bone health, with
minimal side effects. Recent studies show that YK-11 increases Follistatin levels, which is a naturally
occurring protein that suppresses/inhibits Myostatin (muscle growth inhibitor), thereby enabling
muscle growth. It also activates PKB (Protein Kinase B) in cells, which directly activates bone growth
and improves bone health and density.

ASHWAGANDHA

is a highly versatile and effective ancient medicinal herb with multiple benefits. It helps with mental
fatigue and disorders, boosts brain function boosts fertility and testosterone levels in men. It also
directly and indirectly benefits you during exercise by increasing red blood cell counts and enhancing
your aerobic capacity. It may also help in speeding up muscle growth and recovery through indirect
means

MILK THISTLE

is an incredible plant which has multiple benefits but is most known for its powerful effects in
improving/supporting liver function. For people undergoing high intensity training, their livers get
put under a lot of strain, which is why it is so important to support it with a supplement component
such as milk thistle, which repairs your cell membranes.
 DOSING & CYCLES:
YK-11

YK11 is a powerful compound that is very capable of delivering impressive results at low doses. At a low dose of 5mg per day,
one can expect nice muscle gains with a short cycle of 4 weeks, although an 8-week cycle would be ideal.

Advanced users can increase the dose of YK11 to 10mg per day after initially dosing of 5mg per day for 5-7 days. It is not
recommended to exceed 15mg per day because of the increased risk of side effects.

YK-11 has a short half-life and ideally users should split their dose into two daily doses, to maintain an optimal level of this
compound in the bloodstream but oral dosing once a day is acceptable.

It is recommended to use a post cycle therapy (PCT) supplementation after the YK11 cycle to ensure that any possible
testosterone suppression (depending on dosage and cycle length) can be counteracted. A minimum of 4 week-cycle is
recommended and our 5a-Hydroxy-Laxogenin forte stack is perfect for this purpose.
