Blackstone Labs has done it again with its re-launch of Halo Elite, which is the first plant androgen (phytoandrogen) ever developed and sold in ethical doses. Phytoandrogens are substances produced in plants which have effects similar to testosterone, which regulates the development and maintenance of male characteristics by binding to androgen receptors. Blackstone Labs has found such an androgen in the plant Eucommia ulmoides which causes skeletal muscle development, bone density improvement, and increases in sex drive.

Plants containing compounds such as the isoflavonoids, with female hormone-like effects that bind to human estrogen receptors, have been known for decades. Eucommia ulmoides is the first to have corresponding male hormone-like effects that interact with the human androgen receptor. Blackstone Labs' Halo Elite that contains a proprietary 100:1 extract (Andro 100) from the tree bark of Eucommia ulmoides and possesses bimodal phytoandrogenic and hormone potentiating effects by other lipidic components.

As a dietary supplement, take three (3) tablets 30-60 minutes prior to training. On non training days, take three (3) tablets after lunch. Do not exceed 3 tablets daily.

Liposomal products are designed to achieve a 99% absorption rate, achieved through both a fat-soluble coating and water-soluble coating of the supplement to bypass the liver and be immediately shuttled into the bloodstream. Normally, oral supplements have to pass through the liver at least 3 times before actually entering the bloodstream; by the time that happens you're only utilizing 33% of the supplement.

EpiSmash, containing 100mg of Laxogenin and 150mg of Epicatechin in a single liposomal tablet, is up to 25x more potent than other Laxogenin and Epicatechin products. EpiSmash is safe for both men and women to take. Anyone can use this product! Whether you're trying to stay completely natural, bridge between cycles, on post-cycle therapy and trying to maintain gains, EpiSmash is for you. EpiSmash is also great for women who are trying to cut OR bulk.

EpiSmash, utilizing liposomal technology, is the strongest natural anabolic that any athlete has ever taken.

5 Apha Hydroxy Laxogenin (100mg) is a natural planet based anabolic show to increase protein synthesis by 200%. Laxogenin does not affect testosterone production so it doesn't require post cycle therapy. Known for increasing strength, athletic performance, and body composition in as little as 2 weeks, Laxogenin has also been shown to decrease cortisol levels which leads to a better metabolism, faster recovery and muscle growth.

Acacia Catech Extract, standardized to 40% Epicatechin 150mg (375mg) is an extract isolated from dark chocolate and also known as a micronutrient that has been shown to decrease myostatin in the body which is a protein produced in our body that inhibits muscle growth. When the body gets decreased levels of myostatin in turn what happens is you get an increase in the speed of muscle growth and recovery, which increases follistatin(muscle growth), and fat loss. More muscle growth better your strength so just know you will be breaking your own PRs.

Suitable for men and women. As a dietary supplement, women take one (1) tablet daily with a meal. Men take one (1) to three (3) tablets daily with a meal.

Balance Your Hormones – Keep Your Gains. If you’re like many hardcore bodybuilders, you consistently implement aggressive supplement cycles because you know they can lead to impressive gains in size and strength – and you can never be big enough, right?

Balance Your Hormones and Keep Your Gains

If you're like many hardcore bodybuilders, you consistently implement aggressive supplement cycles because you know they can lead to impressive gains in size and strength and you can never be big enough, right? After a serious supplement cycle, you look in the mirror and see a freak looking back, but beware - those gains can disappear if you don't use a great PCT!

The Importance of a Good PCT

How does a Post Cycle Therapy formula help you keep your hard-earned gains? By restoring hormonal balance quickly, which begins by bringing your natural testosterone production back to normal as well as combatting excess estrogen, thereby blocking any estrogen-related side effects. Additionally, a good PCT should support the overall health of your liver as well as inhibit levels of cortisol, the destructive anti-catabolic hormone.

The Complete PCT

Where can you get a complete PCT formula that covers all of these requirements? There's no other choice than Post Gear by Rich Piana 5% Nutrition! No one knows hardcore better than 5%! Post Gear has everything you need for the most effective post cycle therapy program possible - testosterone support, estrogen inhibitors, liver support, and cortisol regulation. That means you stay healthy and bring your hormones back into balance so you can keep your gains! 

Ingredients That Work

D-Aspartic Acid - 3,120 mg

This is a proven natural testosterone booster that will quickly get your test levels back on track! We use the full clinical dose for optimal results. DAA is one of the most effective natural test boosters available with clinical research backing its effectiveness, with one study showing an increase in natural test levels by 40% in just 12 days, that's exactly what you need when you're getting your hormones back to normal.⁽¹⁾

Brassaiopsis Glomerulata 500 mg - This innovative ingredient is actually a tree that originates in Vietnam with extended medicinal use. It contains several aromatase inhibitors that show good estrogen inhibition potential.⁽²⁾

DIM 300 mg - Also known as Diindolylmethane, this ingredient is one of the components that make up Indole-3-Carbinol and originates in such vegetables as broccoli, kale, and cauliflower. 

It is a regulator of estrogen metabolism in the way it helps keep estrogen levels in balance. It does this by preventing the conversion of testosterone into estrogen.⁽³⁾ DIM works synergistically with Brassaiopsis to keep the estrogen under control.

Stinging Nettle 300 mg - Also known as Urtica Dioica, this plant has a long history of traditional medicinal use. Stinging Nettle contains the active ingredient 3,4-Divanillyltetrahydrofuran, which is a lignan that has been suggested to increase levels of free, or usable, testosterone, which is the amount of testosterone the body allows to be used for muscle growth.⁽⁴⁾

Longjack 300 mg - Research shows that Longjack is mainly an adaptogen, which means it helps the body deal with stress. Longjack helps to balance the cortisol/testosterone ratio, which is very important to maintaining an anabolic environment post-cycle.⁽⁵⁾ Longjack works synergistically with many of the other ingredients in Post Gear, such as DAA, Zinc, Magnesium and Vitamin D to get your test levels back to full speed.

Milk Thistle 200 mg - One of the most popular herbs on the market, this herb supports liver health. In fact, Milk Thistle has been used for centuries as a general tonic for overall liver function.

Laxosterone^® Laxogenin 50 mg - This is a powerful, non-hormonal plant-based natural anabolic that stimulates the body to make its own steroids - what could be better than that? Not to mention, what could be more helpful coming off a cycle? Of course, 5% Nutrition uses only the highest-quality version.⁽⁶⁾

Acacetin 50 mg - This ingredient originates from Damiana and is thought to inhibit aromatase, which is an essential part of estrogen synthesis. Acacetin works synergistically with Brassaiopsis and DIM to keep estrogen levels under control.

Artichoke 50 mg - Artichoke has a wide range of benefits, we've included it in Post Gear to work synergistically with Milk Thistle to support normal liver health and function.

Vitamin D 125 mcg - Vitamin D has been shown in recent years to have quite a few important benefits, one of which is an ability to support increased testosterone production.⁽⁷⁾

Zinc 30 mg, Magnesium 70 mg, Vitamin B6 10.5 mg - More commonly known as ZMA, this combination of Zinc, Magnesium, and B6 has been shown to promote increases in testosterone. The primary study that backs this up was conducted in 2000 using NCAA football players as test subjects. In this 7 week study, researchers gave ZMA supplements to test subjects who were working out twice a day. At the end of the study, researchers found a significant increase in the test subjects' levels of testosterone.

Our New Anabolic Formulation Natabolic Contains Natural Phytoandrogens To Help Build Muscle Faster And Easier Than Ever Before. Natabolic Contains Premium Ingredients Like Byroviron, KSM-66, Laxogenin, Boron, And Arimistane That Not Only Aid In Boosting Testosterone But Also Help Regulate Estrogen To Give You A Harder And Drier Look Overall.

HOW DOES CHEMIX NATABOLIC WORK?

NATABOLIC is THE strongest natural anabolic and testosterone-boosting product on the market. Period. Loaded with 9 extremely potent and unique ingredients, NATABOLIC is designed to help elevate you to an extreme anabolic state to build muscle, burn fat and control estrogen.

Every hard-training athlete wants to make gains in their performance and physique, but not every athlete wants to jump head first into the world of anabolics, where the rewards are monumental, but so are the risks. Blackstone Labs realizes that all athletes want to build muscle and increase performance and have created the ultimate all-natural muscle building supplement in Anogenin.

Anogenin is a non-hormonal muscle builder to enhance strength, recovery, and lean muscle mass as well as decrease body fat levels. Anogenin is perfect for men and women as it won’t affect your hormone levels, but will significantly enhance your performance and physique.

5 Alpha Hydroxy Laxogenin (25mg) commonly referred to as Laxogenin or “laxo” for short, 5 Alpha Hydroxy Laxogenin is an all-natural, plant-based steroid shown to enhance protein synthesis by over 200%! Anogenin doesn’t affect natural testosterone production (meaning there’s no need for post cycle therapy), but will significantly increase strength, power, performance, and body composition in as little as 2-3 weeks! Natty or not, Anogenin belongs in any muscle-building stack.

As a dietary supplement, take one (1) capsule two (2) times per day with food. Do not take more than two (2) capsules per day. Use in cycles of 8-12 weeks, taking at least 4 weeks off between cycle. This product does not require a PCT.

Muscle growth -- it’s what every athlete desires from a life spent lifting heavy. One of the biggest contributors to muscle growth is a little hormone called HGH, human growth hormone. This hormone stimulates growth, cell reproduction, and cell regeneration in humans. Unfortunately, using exogenous HGH is highly illegal and can come with serious side effects.

However, there is an all-natural way to stimulate greater HGH release in the body and Blackstone Labs has come up with the ultimate HGH-boosting formula in Growth.

Growth is a superior all-natural way to boost growth hormone release and get a better night’s sleep for superhuman muscle building and recovery.

Vitamin D3 (1,500IU) is an essential vitamin that plays a crucial role in testosterone production as well as growth. Vitamin D is one of most common nutritional deficiencies affecting humans; fortunately, supplementing with Vitamin D has been shown to increase growth in those deficient in Vitamin D.

4-aminobutanoic acid (750mg) is the primary “downer” neurotransmitter in the brain. Also known as GABA, this neurotransmitter increases alpha (“deep relaxation”) waves in the brain, while reducing beta waves, allowing for a longer, more restful night’s sleep.

Velvet bean (590mg) is rich in L-DOPA, a dopamine precursor that enhances mood, sexuality, movement and growth hormone output. L-Dopa easily crosses the blood-brain barrier where it suppresses prolactin production and increases Growth Hormone output.

Stinging Nettle (500mg) prevents testosterone binding to a protein known as Steroid Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG). This inhibition of SHBG can lead to higher levels of free testosterone in the body, which supports lean muscle growth.

Valerian (200mg) promotes relaxation and sedation, encouraging a more productive night’s sleep, enhancing recovery and growth.

BioPerine (10mg) inhibits several enzymes that metabolize nutrients permitting more of the growth hormone-boosting compounds in Growth to enter the body in active form.

Melatonin (3mg) normalizes sleep patterns and has been shown in research to be effective in treating sleep disorders, including insomnia.

As a dietary supplement, take three (3) capsules 30 minutes before bed. Do not exceed three (3) capsules daily.

Myo-Stack is perfect for those who want to:
Build muscle and/or enhance athletic performance.
Complement his or her current athletic supplement stack.
Promote muscle growth while avoiding androgen supplements (e.g. women).

Anabolic, anti-catabolic, anti-proteolytic, protein-sparing… these are terms that describe the state of protein affairs in muscle. The bodybuilding community likes to define anabolic compounds as those which increase amino acid shuttling into muscle and increase protein synthesis. Likewise, anti-catabolic, or antiproteolytic (the more specifically correct term) compounds are defined as those which decrease amino acid shuttling out of muscle (also called protein-sparing). Irrespective of whether amino acids are being gained within muscle due to an increase in the influx of amino acids and enhanced protein synthesis, or due to the conservation of amino acids already within muscle, or both, the resulting intramuscular environment is anabolic. This is a really good thing for bodybuilders.

Although most bodybuilding supplements really don’t do much, a few bodybuilding supplements may actually help increase the uptake of amino acids into muscle, and a few other supplements may actually help to conserve amino acids already within muscle. Even better yet, there are a very few supplements that contain formulations of ingredients that do both — they are anabolic and anti-proteolytic, which means even more muscle protein. One of those very few supplements is Myo-Stack — a Blackstone Labs supplement that contains a “cutting-edge” anabolic and anti-proteolytic compound. This product is all about protein…getting it, saving it, and using it to build rock-hard muscle. The active compounds in Myo-Stack signal muscles to grab more amino acids from the bloodstream and then use them to create muscle protein at a faster rate through increased protein synthesis. The compounds in Myo-Stack also tell muscles to hang on to amino acids already within muscle by decreasing muscle-wasting activities within the muscle, creating a protein-sparing metabolism, and thus maintaining an anabolic state during times when normal protein breakdown occurs. In essence, Myo-Stack helps keep hard-earned muscle intact.

Building muscle and burning fat usually requires long, arduous cycles of bulking and cutting. This never-ending merry-go-round from hell is completely exhausting and yields only modest gains at best. Wouldn’t it be something if you could burn fat and build muscle at the same time?

While this phenomenon is typically reserved for newbies hitting the gym for the first time, Blackstone Labs has developed the first supplement to let any lifter, regardless of training experience, simultaneously build muscle and burn fat.

Recomp RX is a revolutionary body recomposition supplement that allows you trade fat for muscle thanks to the power of ursolic acid. This potent compound is highly anabolic, as well as incredibly anti-catabolic, allowing you to build slabs of lean muscle without the needs for thousands of extra calories. Gone are the days of dirty bulking and crash dieting, you now have the power to reshape your body with ease thanks to Recomp RX.

Ursolic Acid (125mg) affects molecular pathways that prevent muscle loss (catabolism) and weakness. Other research has shown that ursolic acid promotes muscle hypertrophy and expression of insulin and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) signaling. To top it off, some other research indicates, this potent compound stimulates skeletal muscle Akt activity which spurs muscle growth and may reduce fat gain, a.k.a. body recomposition.

Banaba Leaf (60mg) contains corosolic acid, a truly remarkable compound that enhance the body’s glucose-controlling properties. Numerous studies have shown that banaba extracts not only improve glucose transportation, but also enhance insulin sensitivity, meaning you’ll put all those tasty carbs to building muscle, not storing body fat.

As a dietary supplement, take one (1) capsule 3 times daily with food. Continue for 6 weeks followed by 2 weeks off. Repeat cycle.

Diindolylmethane aka DIM is a potent natural compound found in many cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and kale. DIM’s main benefit lies in its estrogen metabolizing effects. WIth 100mg of DIM, this makes a great option for balancing estrogen while ensuring that one doesn’t experience a drastic increase or decrease in estrogen levels.

NutraBio DIM is the perfect product to support estrogen modulation, improve body composition and hormonal balance and regulation for Men & Women. A single bottle of DIM contains a one to two-month supply of 30 to 60 daily servings in a small vegetable capsule. We also added 500mg of Calcium-D-Glucarate which works synergistically with DIM to enhance the estrogen modulation benefits of this product. Last but not least, we included the trademarked ingredient Bioperine to increase the absorption and bioavailability of these two ingredients.

Like the rest of our line, DIM is Produced in our own FDA-GMP facility in the USA!

An IGF-1 precursor and growth hormone mimic, SST-1: GH will increase and develop new muscle. If improved sense of well being, increased muscle mass and protein synthesis, increased lean muscle, higher energy levels, increased endurance, increased flexibility, increased libido (sexual performance) and improved immune function are your goals - then SST-1: GH from Blackstone is just what the doctor ordered!

Liposomal products are designed to achieve a 99% absorption rate, achieved through both a fat-soluble coating and water-soluble coating of the supplement to bypass the liver and be immediately shuttled into the bloodstream. Normally, oral supplements have to pass through the liver at least 3 times before actually entering the bloodstream; by the time that happens you're only utilizing 33% of the supplement.

Bigger By The Day® is the strongest all-natural muscle builder available. This hardcore formula now features Ajuga Extract along with ingredients like Epicatechin, HICA, Leucine, and now a massive dose of Turkesterone, nothing else comes close!

When it comes to natural muscle builders, there are several products currently available that like to brag about how hardcore they are. You’ve seen the ads and heard the hype. We’ve listened to it long enough! We decided to step in and show them how the big boys do it. 5% Nutrition has defined the word “hardcore” for years, and now we’ve designed the most potent legal muscle builder on the market – Bigger By The Day®!

We took the strongest legal, all-natural muscle-building ingredients available - including the powerful Turkesterone - yes, you read that right - and combined them into one incredible product. Then we dared to make it stronger than any other product!

INGREDIENT BREAKDOWN

Take a look at these ingredients:

Ajuga Extract (Ajuga turkestanica)(whole herb) – 1,000 mg – We’ve taken this powerful natural muscle builder and added it to the only formula that can handle it - Bigger By The Day®!

In-vitro studies show the effectiveness of this incredible ingredient! One of the primary benefits of Turkesterone is protein synthesis stimulation. Along with increased muscle mass via protein synthesis, Turkesterone supports increased strength. It also has anti-catabolic properties because it helps the body preserve muscle when you’re restricting calories.

That’s quite a list of impressive benefits! With the rest of the hardcore ingredients in this exceptional formula, Bigger By The Day® will make a huge difference in your workouts and results!

Turkesterone works best when taken with a high-protein meal, so make sure you take Bigger By The Day® with your two highest protein meals of the day.^{(1, 2, 3)}

Green Tea Extract (90% Epicatechin) – 300 mg – This ingredient is a flavonol commonly found in dark chocolate and green tea. This compound has muscle growth properties and can stimulate nitric oxide production. We’re talking about increased pumps and enhanced nutrient delivery to your working muscles. One of the primary ways it stimulates growth is by inhibiting myostatin. What is myostatin? It’s a type of protein known as a growth factor that regulates how big your muscles can get. In effect, it puts a ceiling on muscle growth. You can raise the ceiling of your potential for gains by inhibiting myostatin.^(4,5)

HICA – 500 mg – This ingredient is also known as A-Hydroxyisocaproic Acid or Leucic Acid. HICA is a metabolite of leucine, which means that when we metabolize leucine, our body breaks down into HICA and other metabolites, such as HMB. Here’s how it works. The leucine that is broken down into HICA is first metabolized into KIC. Then it’s broken down further into HICA; it becomes available for use at this point. Clinical studies have indicated that HICA can stimulate gains and reduce muscle soreness. ⁽⁶⁾

Leucine – 200 mg – Leucine is one of the BCAAs and, without a doubt, the most powerful amino acid. It is directly involved in the stimulation of the mTOR pathway, which in turn activates protein synthesis. If gains are your goal, leucine should be very high on your list of supplements.⁽⁷⁾ By combining leucine, HICA, and turkesterone, we have created a powerful trio that will effectively stimulate protein synthesis.

Bioperine® Black Pepper Extract – 10 mg – Ultimately, the effectiveness of any product comes down to how well it’s absorbed. Of course, we wanted to be sure this powerful muscle builder is fully absorbed for maximum benefits. This ingredient is well-known as an effective absorption enhancer that improves the absorption of the nutrients and ingredients it’s paired with.⁽⁸⁾

When it comes to the most potent all-natural hardcore muscle builder that was designed for serious results, Bigger By The Day® delivers!

HOW DOES CORTIBLOC WORK?

 CortiBloc™ is a one-of-a-kind natural cortisol inhibitor that can help with weight loss and regulate cortisol and blood glucose metabolism. The main ingredient in CortiBloc™ is emodin, an anthraquinone compound isolated mainly from the root and rhizome of polygonum cuspitatum, which acts as an 11βhydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1(11β-HSD1) inhibitor. This enzyme, located in your liver and fat cells is responsible for the conversion of cortisone(the inactive glucocorticoid) into cortisol(the active form).

Glucocorticoids like cortisol can have deleterious effects on your body if levels get too high. Research has shown that elevated levels of glucocorticoids like cortisol can inhibit glucose uptake in skeletal muscle and can lead to fat gain, obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, dyslipidemia and type-2 diabetes. Cortisol, which is produced in your adrenal glands in response to stress is good in small quantities and at the right time. However, long term elevated levels can have serious health implications, as mentioned earlier. Emodin can stop elevated cortisol levels right at the source. Emodin is a selective inhibitor of 11β-HSD1 only, not 11β-HSD2 which is found in your kidneys. Inhibiting this enzyme can cause major health effects such as sodium/potassium absorption/elimination, buildup of excess mineralocorticoids, interfere with aldosterone and affect kidney function.

Emodin inhibits 11β-HSD1 by blocking the enzyme site from sending a hydride from NADP to cortisone to produce cortisol. Studies show emodin inhibits the enzyme by up to 46% in adipose tissue(fat cells) which means your body is producing almost half of the cortisol it normally would. This can lead to fat loss, reduction in stress, decreased insulin resistance and increased insulin sensitivity. Emodin also reduced fasting blood glucose levels by 77% after taken orally for 7 days, as well as overall plasma insulin levels by 66% relative to the control. In another study, emodin was shown to reduce appetite and bodyweight in mice(13.9% reduction in bodyweight).

As you can see, emodin is a very powerful ingredient for inhibiting cortisol and insulin-induced weight gain. Unfortunately, the oral bioavailability is very low. In order to fix this issue, we added a large dose of piperine, commonly known as black pepper extract. In a study combining emodin with piperine showed a marked increase in bioavailability via inhibiting glucuronidation. This is the process where a glucose molecule is attached to emodin to make it more water soluble and easy to expel from the body. By stopping this process, the piperine allows emodin to maximally be absorbed and inhibit the formation of cortisol and help you meet and exceed your weight loss goals. This product can be taken by both men and women and works especially well for high-intensity athletes and fitness competitors.

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN TAKING MANPOWER

1. ENHANCED LEAN MUSCLE MASS
2. INCREASE POWER AND STRENGTH
3. BOOST ENDURANCE AND STAMINA
4. ENHANCED LIBIDO

SUGGESTED USE

TAKE 3 CAPSULES WITH 8-10 OZ. OF WATER BEFORE YOUR FIRST MEAL OF THE DAY. TAKE AN ADDITIONAL CAPSULE 6-8 HOURS LATER AS NEEDED.

Several factors impact your ability to grow muscle. Most of those you can control (diet, exercise, recovery), but the biggest factor governing your ability to build massive muscles (your genetics) you have no control over...until now!

EpiCat is a revolutionary all-natural muscle building supplement that flips the genetic switch, enabling you to become the physical freak that nature never intended. EpiCat isn’t a steroid, prohormone, or some other research chemical. It utilizes extracts isolated from dark chocolate and green tea to boost your anabolic potential and transform it a tower of strength and power!

Green Tea (700mg) enhances thermogenesis, metabolism, and fat oxidation resulting in greater fat burning during exercise and at rest. Green tea is packed with powerful antioxidants that combat oxidative stress and promote overall health and recovery from exercise.

Epicatechin (300mg) significantly aids muscle growth by inhibiting myostatin, a protein present in your muscles cells that limits growth and differentiation. Research shows that epicatechin stimulates release of follistatin, another protein that blocks the actions of myostatin, leading to increased exercise capacity, strength, and muscle growth.

As a dietary supplement, take one (1) capsule two (2) times daily with food. Do not exceed two (2) capsules daily.
