I used this stack when it first came out and I was amazed by the results considering it was a non hormonal alternate. I was focused, strong and was able to maintain my lean mass while decreasing my fat levels significantly. Best of all, there was no negative feedback loop – no shrinkage or loss of libido. In fact, my libido was stronger than usual. Also, there was no need for PCT with these products which was also a blessing.

While ActivaTe is no longer available there is an alternative called ActivaTe Xtreme which is basically the same thing. The active ingredient in ActivaTe Xtreme is called Divanil which is trademarked by Designer Supplements and it is made from the root of the stinging nettle plant. It works by making more of the testosterone in your body free rather than bound. Since it’s the free testosterone that helps build muscle and enhance recovery ActivaTe can be a help in your quest to build muscle.

Designer Supplements also claims these other benefits to using ActivaTe Xtreme:

• Supports healthy cholesterol levels
• Boosts Nitric Oxide for better pumps
• Works as both an anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant
• Better insulin and blood sugar control to boost fat loss

Based on my own results I would call ActivaTe Xtreme one of the cornerstones of any NHA type stack. Of course it works even better in conjunction with some other non hormonal anabolics and next time I’ll talk about more of these great NHA products that you can stack together with ActivaTe Xtreme.

Halodrol Liquigels were developed by William Llewellyn and Bruce Kellner, two of the top people in the sports supplement research field. They were commissioned to develop a replacement for Halodrol-50 that would yield the same results, but not be prohormonal in nature.

Did they succeed? The jury is still out. Halodrol Liquigels were just released to the public in the US this past week so reports are slim so far. You can bet that I will be keeping my eyes on the results from this new legal steroid product.

Below you can find the Gaspari promotion for this product. The only one of the 5 ingredients I can comment on is the extract of stinging nettle root. This is also in the supplement Activate by Designer Supplements. I have taken Activate in the past I can report that it does positively effect lean muscle mass and fat loss. And it also works very well as a libido enhancer. Keep watching as there will be more to come on this new non-prohormone non-steroid sports supplement.

“Halodrol Liquigels™ consists of five separate ingredients, one of which is patented and licensed exclusively to Gaspari Nutrition for this type of product and a second ingredient that is patent pending (the application is published an awaiting an award with the United States Patent Office). This makes Gaspari Nutrition Halodrol Liquigels™ absolutely unique and in a class all by itself. There will never be another product in the supplement market place like this product.

Halodrol Liquigels™ uses a multi-faceted approach to physique augmentation. It represents the first truly “complete product” that tackles mass and strength modulation, fat amelioration and performance improvement in one product. Changes in performance and physique can be seen in less than one week with the suggested use of Halodrol Liquigels™ which makes this not only an effective product but a fast working one too!

Most importantly…Halodrol Liquigels™ is not a prohormone type of product. While Halodrol Liquigels™ does contain a small amount of DHEA (which has been deemed acceptable so far by most regulatory agencies) there are no other ingredients in this product which are inherently androgenic or anabolic in nature!

So what’s the catch? How does it work? Read on and then decide for yourself.

First, Arachidonic Acid* one of the main ingredients and “prime movers” in Halodrol Liquigels™ has been demonstrated in several independent studies to positively affect the sheer quantity of androgen receptors in the cellular cytosol as well as positively modulate the effects of GH, insulin and IGF-1 at the cellular level. In theory, this “prepares” the (muscle) cells to maximize the effects of these endogenous moieties – something that all of us trying to improve or performance and physiques constantly strive for and surely seek.

Next, Halodrol Liquigels™ contains a metabolite of a very popular, naturally occurring anti- aromatic compound which can potentiate a very positive effect on endogenous androgen production. This compound is inherently non-androgenic and non-anabolic itself: it merely “gets your own body” to up shift production of important physique and performance augmenting moieties. It may also have an effect in down regulating less desirable endogenous hormonal moieties which can be detrimental to physique and performance enhancement and augmentation.

Next, Halodrol Liquigels™ contains a very pure version of a plant lignan that has been sold in the supplement marketplace for many years (Stinging Nettle Root) as a libido enhancer. The very pure version of this plant lignan has been correlated with an increase in bioavailable testosterone levels in many independent studies. Data suggests that this plant lignan competes against endogenous androgens for binding space on Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG), a plasma protein in humans which “shuttles” androgens like testosterone around the body. However, if a hormone is “bound” (e.g. – stuck) to SHBG then it can’t interact with (skeletal muscle) cells to impart any effect. By competing against endogenous androgens for space on SHBG, this plant lignan potentially “frees up” more testosterone, making more of it available to interact with (skeletal muscle) cells so it can impart its muscle and performance modulating effects.

Additionally, Halodrol Liquigels™ contains an exceptionally pure version of an ecdysterone – ecdysterones are insect molting hormones that have been used in the former Soviet Bloc countries for decades in order to induce positive changes in performance and physique. Data from numerous studies illustrates that ecdysterones can cause an overall shift in nitrogen retention, generally accepted as an indicator of muscular hypertrophy. Such products have been sold in the United States since the mid-1980′s and many of these ecdysterones are also naturally found in plants and herbs. However, it has been exceedingly difficult and expensive to source very pure quality ecdysterones or extracts containing these products up until this point in time.

Finally, Halodrol Liquigels™ contains DHEA which acts in synergy with the other aforementioned ingredients to maximize the effects of this unique supplement.

Can anyone use Halodrol Liquigels™? Are there some people who should not use Halodrol Liquigels™?

We suggest that Halodrol Liquigels™ only be purchased and used by men over the age of 21 years. You must consult with your licensed health care provider before using this product as you should for any sport nutritional supplement you plan to use. This product should not be used by women under any circumstances. If you have ever had any type of cancer whatsoever, you should never use this product under any circumstances.”

Your body has both bound and free testosterone, but only the free testosterone is active. No matter what your total testosterone levels are only the free testosterone is of any benefit to you for building additional muscle.

The body controls the amounts of bound and free testosterone through a protein called Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG). SHBG binds your testosterone so that it is not free and able to help you with your muscle building goals. ActivaTe acts as an SHBG inhibitor, which leaves more of your testosterone unbound. This leads to more muscle, improved recovery and increased focus during your workouts.

Additional benefits include:

• Increased blood sugar and insulin control for general health and fat loss
• Nitric Oxide (NO) boosting
• Supports a healthy prostate
• Anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory behaviour
• Supports healthy cholesterol levels

I have tried ActivaTe and I really like this product. It does exactly what it is claimed. It has helped me to add lean mass and decrease my bodyfat. In addition, there is a noticable boost in libido when taking ActivaTe. A really nice little side effect in my opinion. Best of all it does not mess with your hormones and there is no need for post cycle therapy. I have used ActivaTe twice and willl continue using it. It is that good! Next time I may try what Designer Supplements calls their NHA stack combining ActivaTe with Rebound Reloaded and Lean Extreme.

* Super saturate (literally force feeds) muscle cells with glucose and amino acids
* Block glucose uptake in fat cells
* Potentiate the positive effects of insulin on muscle cells
* Block triglyceride uptake in fat cells

* Improve lipid profile

How does ANABOLIC-PUMP™ work?

ANABOLIC-PUMP™ makes food more anabolic by utilizing the natural power of the most anabolic hormone in the world – INSULIN. In our quest for perfection, diet is the ultimate key to success. Basic fact is that food is the most ANABOLIC substance in the world. You can inject insane amounts of testosterone and deca, along with handfuls of d-bol and anadrol and without the proper diet – YOU WILL NOT GROW! Ask around…this is bodybuilding gospel.

By harnessing the power of muscle specific insulin and food, ANABOLIC-PUMP™ takes NATURAL growth to UNNATURAL levels! Insulin is the most powerful anabolic hormone produced by the body, while food constitutes the very anabolic building blocks of muscle tissue. Professional bodybuilders administer insulin and eat insane amounts of food for RAPID strength and size gains. Insulin, without a doubt, forces muscle to grow FAST. Unfortunately, insulin also forces FAT CELLS to grow FASTER – YUCK! What you end up with is a HUGE mass of muscle covered in a THICK layer of FAT. In a Perfect world fat cells would be RESISTANT to the action of insulin. Like the moronic cliché “have your cake and eat it too” Why bake a cake and not eat it? With ANABOLIC-PUMP™ you eliminate the guilt of eating the cake. Yes, we’ve created the perfect world… well… the perfect supplement at least!

Isn’t insulin an extremely dangerous drug?

Yes, insulin is the most anabolic hormone but it’s also the MOST dangerous. ANABOLIC-PUMP™ is 200% SAFE and HEALTHY. ANABOLIC-PUMP™ is not an insulin like substance. ANABOLIC-PUMP™ is a brand new class of natural anabolic called SIMS.

What is SIMS?

SIMS stands for Selective Insulin Muscle Sensitizer. Yes, ANABOLIC-PUMP™ forces your body to naturally become super efficient in utilizing insulin ONLY in muscle cells. The miraculous nature is that it COMPLETELY shuts down the fat cell’s affinity to store glucose and triglycerides while causing LIPOLYSIS! Yes, read that again! Completely shuts down the fat cell’s ability to store glucose and triglycerides while force feeding your muscle cells. Go ahead, take a moment to let that sink in…

What does that mean?

Muscle growth and fat loss at an extremely fast rate while improving health! It doesn’t get any better than that!

Do you “FEEL” ANABOLIC-PUMP™ or should we just believe you?

Approximately 1 hour after the first dose those “IN TOUCH” with their own physiology will FEEL ANABOLIC-PUMP™ working its magic. The “PUMPED” sensation is unavoidable. We are talking a REAL PUMP not useless vasodilatation.

There is that “PUMPED” word again. Are you pitching useless propaganda like the NO2 supplement market?

NO2 products are regarded as perception products as they relate to gaining muscle. You get the perception that it’s working solely on the basis of the PUMP. The PUMP feel is a terrific tool to sell product, however a very poor way to judge muscle growth. A great analogy is a balloon filled with helium. For a period of time it appears to defy gravity and floats in air, however it’s only a matter of time before the balloon deflates and loses it’s magical powers. While NO2 products may not be the best choice for long term quality muscle gains, they certainly have value in the endurance market.
Comparing ANABOLIC-PUMP™ to NO2 is like comparing Testosterone to vitamin C.

Speaking of testosterone – as a user of steroids and growth hormone, do I need this supplement?

YES! Imagine force feeding your muscles with glucose and amino acids in a super anabolic state while PROMOTING FAT OXIDATION! You would be foolish not to use ANABOLIC-PUMP™ in conjunction with these compounds. Human growth hormone lowers your sensitivity to insulin, therefore ANABOLIC-PUMP™ makes PERFECT sense!

You claim and describe a miracle substance. Has it been REAL WORLD tested?

Of course! USPLabs runs extensive beta testing programs with every supplement we release. In FACT, we let our customers tell US what our products do! While ANABOLIC-PUMP™ sounds too good to be true, it has been real world tested by your peers with a 100% success rate. Please visit logs at www.ANABOLICMINDS.com/forum/synergy-muscle/

Does ANABOLIC-PUMP™ contain 15 different ingredients mixed in a bucket?

At USPLabs, we boycott the “Garbage Pail” formulas. Some companies assume that if you combine 15 different ingredients, something is bound to work. Unfortunately, a few ingredients in these formulas are potentially dangerous and can send you running to the restroom in the middle of a bench press!
ANABOLIC-PUMP™ is a Patent Pending engineered extract of the Phellodendron Chinense Plant. The USPLabs research team has been in India studying and botanically engineering the proper extract for the past 2 years. We did it with Cissus Rx. Would you expect anything less than innovation from USPLabs? Other companies copied Cissus Rx… it’s just a matter of time before the mock ups come. Cissus Rx has changed the joint healing supplement market with ONE INGREDIENT. We will do it again with ANABOLIC-PUMP™!!

ONE INGREDIENT with unbelievable qualities at 500mgs per dose!
