TestoFX™ HARDCORE is the World’s first 5-STAGE MALE TESTOSTERONE OPTIMIZER. This powerful new cutting edge approach to testosterone optimization increases active testosterone levels; human clinical studies have shown that core ingredients in TestoFX™ HARDCORE raised active testosterone levels by 98.81% while reducing cortisol, a barrier to optimal testosterone, by 26%.
Rise in free Testosterone produced by TESTOFX™ HARDCORE was quite significant. Results clearly indicate that key ingredients in TESTOFX™ HARDCORE have a positive effect on biologically active free Testosterone secretion. The increase in free Testosterone levels in the active group of participants was 98.81% over the placebo group.*
The 5-Stage MTO Technology
STAGE 1: CORTISTRATE I I™ (Anti-Cortisol Complex) Initiates the process by priming a protestosterone environment by significantly reducing Cortisol levels by 26%!
TESTOFX™ HARDCORE initiates the optimization process in Stage 1 with CORTISTRATE II™. Employing the double U.S. government patented, exclusive process extract know as Sensoril®, CORTISTRATE II™ primes the body for optimal testosterone by reducing serum cortisol levels by an average of 26% over an 8 week cycle. In addition, an excess in cortisol levels can lead to a progressive loss of protein, muscle weakness and atrophy, and loss of bone mass through increased calcium excretion and less calcium absorption (3, 4). A reduction in cortisol levels is the first step in creating the optimal pro-testosterone environment.
It is no secret to most people who experience even mild stress that they feel their testosterone levels suffer. The stress-testosterone negative correlation has been a heavily researched and well documented phenomenon. Now TESTOFX™ HARDCORE has employed CORTISTRATE II™ to prime the body’s hormonal environment. In a specific clinical study, a natural steroidal hormone secreted by the liver, DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) increased 24.8% over a 90 day period.
DHEA is the body’s dominant natural steroid hormone and precursor of normally produced sex steroids. DHEA, the most abundant hormone in the body, is the source for testosterone production. It is important to state that there is no DHEA in TESTOFX™ HARDCORE. This dramatic rise in natural DHEA production is the body’s own response to the ingredients in the CORTISTRATE II™ compound – naturally produced hormone structures are far superior to external synthetic chemicals that can be damaging to the endocrine system. DHEA and Testosterone are essential to your health and well-being.
Simply stated, if testosterone is the supercharged race car, then DHEA is the high-octane fuel.
STAGE 2: TESTOJACK™ (Free-Testosterone LH Activator) Promotes Luteinizing Hormone (LH) production and is clinically proven to increase active ‘UNBOUND’ testosterone levels by 98.81%.
Unbound testosterone is the only form that can activate testosterone receptors for increased muscle growth and strength.
In Stage 2, TESTOFX™ HARDCORE switches gears and goes into the testosterone production phase. Stage 2 is a specific compound known as TESTOJACK™, exclusive to ALLMAX. This is where the rubber meets the road. ALLMAX employs another high-end, patent-pending extract known as TESTOFEN® with use exclusively under a strict licensing agreement. TESTOFEN® is standardized to meet an extremely specific and detailed organochemical profile yielding 60% Steroidal Saponins, known as Fenusides.
So unique is the organochemical fingerprint of this ingredient that it can only be achieved through a specialized fermentation process that prepares the raw material for maximal extraction. Laboratory testing using high-end HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) processes to guarantee the potency you demand.
Using a 100:1 high-potency ratio of Eurycoma Longifolia Jack extract with a laboratory-tested chemical profile expressing over 40% Glyco Saponins and 30% Polysaccharides, TESTOJACK™ elicits the power of this rare herb. Using this specific potency of Eurycoma Longifolia, grown exclusively in the jungles of Indonesia, has resulted in some impressive findings. Specifically, it has shown a dramatic reduction in the presence of serum SHBG (the same structure that ‘deactivates’ free testosterone) and increases the natural endogenous production of IGF-1, one of the body’s own growth hormones.
Human clinical trials have shown that key ingredients in the TESTOFX™ HARDCORE compound TESTOJACK™ have resulted in a 98.81% increase in free, unbound, biologically active testosterone (unpublished study). This 98.81% is not a couple of extreme cases within the research study that was the average!
While many Testosterone formulas claim high numbers of testosterone increases, these claims are frequently numbers that reflect overall testosterone rather than free, active testosterone. These numbers that other companies state are essentially useless because bound testosterone cannot lock onto receptors – think of it in the lock and key scenario, now picture chewing gum being stuck to the key; useless. Useless (inactive) testosterone will not give you the results you desire.
STAGE 3: TESTOLOCK™ (Testosterone Receptor Sensitizer) Once free unbound testosterone is available the next step is to lock the testosterone molecule effectively on to the cellular receptor.
TESTOLOCK™ works by effectively maintaining cell membrane integrity and improving cell receptor affinity for testosterone.
TESTOLOCK™ kicks in with a critical component overlooked by every other supplement, testosterone receptor affinity. The chemical lock and key relationship between testosterone and the Anabolic/Androgenic Receptor (AR) site is imperative to the expression of the effects of testosterone in the body (5). Without healthy, viable receptors throughout the body, any increase in testosterone will be ineffective at best.
TESTOFX™ HARDCORE has taken this keyfactor into account and developed the dual-phase compound called TESTOLOCK™. Working in tandem, the Alpha Lipoic Acid and Myo Inositol support cellular membrane health and signaling to reduce the presence of free radicals which can wreak havoc on testosterone-specific receptors (6, 7). The Myo Inositol specifically aids in the body’s ability to create receptors on cellular membranes (8) – without these receptors, signaling induced from the hormones will not be efficient.
Simply stated, TESTOLOCK™ was designed to help ensure that the “lock”, the receptor, is healthy and optimally ready to receive the “key”, testosterone. This connection is critical to the expression of the effects of testosterone in the body.
STAGE 4: ESTROBLOC™ (Dual Anti-Estrogen Complex) ESTROBLOC™ works via two mechanisms. First, the complex prevents aromatization (testosterone to estrogen formation) from taking place.
Secondly, it desensitizes estrogen receptors’ ability to activate estrogen receptors for the ultimate 1-2 anti-estrogen punch!
ESTROBLOC™ was devised as a potent dual-effect anti-estrogenic compound. In every body, male and female, the hormones estrogen and testosterone co-exist at various ratios. Clearly, in the male human population, the ratio of testosterone to estrogen is far higher than in women (9). The body will always seek to maintain that ratio within a specific range; this range is different for everyone. When extremely high levels of synthetic exogenous testosterone (aka steroids) are injected, negative effects attributed to estrogen result. Clearly, minimizing the expression of estrogen and its effects is a major benefit.
ESTROBLOC™ combines four high-potency chemical extracts to create a compound that works on mechanisms to modulate the estrogen response systems. Using this methodology, a dramatic reduction in estrogen and its expression result. Trans-Resveratrol acts as an estrogen receptor antagonist, which is a fancy way of saying it locks onto estrogen receptors and does not elicit estrogenic effects (10). By this action, Trans-Resveratrol prevents the binding of estrogen that would normally cause a negative estrogenic effect.
Chrysin (chemically known as 5,7-dihydroxyflavone) is a flavonoid that has been purported especially in the bodybuilding world to be an effective inhibitor of an enzyme known as aromatase (12). Aromatase is the enzyme that causes the conversion of testosterone into estradiol and androstenedione into estrone. This has a definite theoretical advantage to bodybuilders.
Using this dual-phase approach, ESTROBLOC™ effectively blocks estrogen on two levels further creating an optimal environment for testosterone.
STAGE 5: DIHYDROZATE™ (Anti-DHT Agent) DIHYDROZATE™ is a designer compound designed to effectively prevent the conversion of Testosterone to DHT (dihydroxytestosterone), a male hormone linked to negative androgenic effects.
DIHYDROZATE™ completes the final but crucial step in the optimization process. It is an indisputable scientific fact, testosterone – at all level slow or high, will convert to DHT or dihydrotestosterone. While completely normal and natural, the potential side effects are undesirable. Optimized testosterone means maximizing the amazing benefits of testosterone while dramatically limiting the effects we don’t want.
Enter DIHYDROZATE™, the dual-effect of reducing the conversion of testosterone to DHT through two distinct phases; phase I via blocked aromatization, phase II via blocked enzymatic action (14, 15). No matter what your test levels are, you’ll want this compound in your supplement. Minimizing the effects of DHT on the body is an essential step for complete testosterone optimization.
The Clinical Studies
STUDY ONE: Testofen® Human Clinical Trial.
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to determine the effect testosterone has on body composition over an 8 week period.
STUDY: Two study groups: one group was given placebo the other group took 300 mg of TESTOFEN® (Fenugreek Seed Extract) twice daily (total of 600 mg of TESTOFEN®); once in the morning and another serving in the evening everyday for a total of 8 weeks.
RESULTS: At the completion of the study, the group taking TESTOFEN® experienced a 98.81% increase in their free testosterone levels! The TESTOFEN® study group didn’t experience a reduction in body weight but did decrease body fat, specifically in the triceps and thighs. This shows the group taking TESTOFEN® didn’t lose any muscle mass while participating in the study.
As per the study, TestoFX includes 600 mg of TESTOFEN® per day (as provided in 2 servings of TestoFX Hardcore), which has been found to help increase free unbound testosterone levels an outstanding 98.81%!
STUDY TWO: Sensoril™, Nutragenesis, LLC (2005).
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study which was conducted by Nutragenesis, was to assess the role Sensoril™ (ashwagandha extract) played on reducing elevated cortisol levels. By decreasing cortisol levels the body is primed for testosterone optimization.
STUDY: This multi-phase, placebo-controlled double blind study collected both subjective and objective results from both study groups.
RESULTS: Researchers found the Sensoril™ study group experienced reduced levels of the hormone cortisol by as much as 26%! Those taking Sensoril also reported feeling more energized, being able to sleep better and an improved mood. Sensoril™ is included in TestoFX for its ability to lower cortisol levels. Elevated cortisol levels have been found to lead to a progressive loss of protein, muscle weakness and atrophy. By keeping cortisol levels low optimal testosterone levels will be achieved for increased muscle growth and strength.
