Scivation Anagen

Serious Growth Without Unhealthy Side-Effects

Everyone has heard the promises of “Steroid-like gains in no time!” or “Gain 20 pounds in 2 weeks!” or “100% safe and side effect free!” Many serious bodybuilders try the supplement seeking positive results and lean mass, but they are only thoroughly disappointed by the results, or better yet, lack of results. Many of these “Better than Steroid” supplements usually have little to no scientific backing and are constructed of a proprietary blend that usually contains many ingredients that no one has even heard of in amounts not even listed on the label. You take their word for it and every time you lose nothing but the cash in your wallet that was wasted. Worst of all, the effective products that are available always come with a price tag—your health. Methylation was an icon of the century, but the methylation process can lead to ill effects on your liver health and the compounds themselves cause many undesired side-effects such as testicular shrinkage, gynocamastia (breast growth), and a host of other unhealthy symptoms. The matter becomes even worse because many customers are ill educated on how to “cycle” the supplement to avoid shutting down their own testosterone production. This leaves us asking, “Is it really worth it?”

Scivation, the leaders in Science-based innovative supplements and the company that brought you Xtend introduce Anagen—the industry's first anabolic adaptogen. Scivation Anagen is not only backed by several scientific studies and the compounds in Anagen have been proven extremely effective in the real world by Scivation's elite athletic clients. Furthermore, it is safe and 100% side effect free. Sure, this may sound too good to be true, yet we're here to convince you how Anagen may be the key to unlocking the best personal gains of your life.

Scivation Anagen - Anabolic Adaptogen Contains:
20-Hydroxy-ecdysterone
Rhodiola Rosea
Bacopa Monniera
20-Hydroxy-ecdysterone

Ecdysterone (ECDY) has been around for a while and it was first developed after Burdette found that protein synthesis was increased in mammalian tissue after administration of ECDY. Next, eastern scientists named Hikino and Otaka both found ECDY to have anabolic effects in mice. Early in the 1980’s, Chinese and Russian Olympians began using ECDY as a performance enhancer.

It wasn't until recent that ECDY became popular in the United States, yet many users were not impressed with the results. The problem was in the lack of the active photoecdysteroid 20-Hydroxyecdysterone. Supplement companies were using either low percent extracts or not dosing their capsules high enough. Anecdotal feedback from users who have taken large amounts of 20-Hydroxyecdysterone has been impressive, and here is why.

ECDY and Protein Synthesis
Recently, ECDY was shown to enhance skeletal muscle growth of skeletal muscle cell cultures by increasing gene expression. There are two ways to increase gene expression, the first through hormone/ligand binding to a nuclear receptor and the second is through nongenomicly. Hormone/ligand binding can take hours to accomplish while a nongenomic effect results in the same series of events, but in an immediate response without requiring hormone/ligand binding.

It is believed ECDY's nongenomic effects include stabilization of cell membranes and modification of membrane proteins and other effects on the membrane, and accumulation of ligands, which could lead to increased ligand binding to nuclear receptors. ECDY can also increase RNA synthesis and protein translation , which would further enhance the process of protein synthesis and growth.

Further Benefits of ECDY
ECDY has been shown to enhance sexual activity in both animals and humans and improve sexual function in men. ECDY increases the body’s ability to respond to stress by increasing acetylcholine esterase activity in the brain. ECDY also improves unhealthy cholesterol levels by decreasing liver cholesterol levels and increasing the excretion of cholesterols in the bile, decreases glucose levels separately from insulin, all of which improve the bodies ability to adapt to stress.

Side Effects of ECDY
ECDY administration has not been shown to induce any side effects and has no toxic response in animals. Unlike many testosterone boosting supplementation, ECDY will not lead to suppression of natural testosterone production as it does not bind to steroid hormone receptors.

Rhodiola Rosea
Rhodiola Rosea belongs to the plant family Crassulaceae and has been used for centuries in Russia, Scandinavia, and other eastern countries in traditional medicine. Rhodiola Rosea is known as an adaptogen, a substance that increases an organism’s resistance to homeostatic disturbances.
Rhodiola Rosea has been shown to:
Increase physical working capacity
Improve endurance exercise performance
Antidepressant, anticancer, cardio-protective, and central nervous system enhancement
Decrease mental fatigue
In addition, in a study done on men suffering from erectile dysfunction, subjects were given 150-200 mg Rhodiola Rosea per day for three months. 26 of the 35 subjects showed improved sexual function.

Bacopa Monnieri
Bacopa Monnieri is another adaptogen like Rhodiola, and also a traditional Ayurvedic medicine used for centuries as a pain reliever, memory enhancer, anti-inflammation, fever reducer, and antiepileptic (prevent convulsions) agent. Recent research shows bacopa monnieri to have anti-stress properties and antioxidant properties as well.

The Rebirth
Ecdysterone has received a bad rap due to quality and potency. By supplement companies severely under dosing their supplements, consumers were taking a very effective supplement, but in miniscule dosage. After research and experimentation, Scivation developed Anagen to help their athletes and customers achieve the gains that many promised, but failed to deliver. The addition of Bacopa Monnieri and Rhodiola Rosea to Ecdysterone adds a synergistic formula that will help you cope with the stresses of training and diet and achieve the most significant, healthiest gains of your life.
