Turkesterone - 120 capsules - plant extract from Ajuga turkestanica

Natural, plant-based ecdysteroid complex developed for active people, athletes and fitness enthusiasts who want to support muscle adaptation, strength and recovery in a natural way. Turkesterone is produced from the plant Ajuga turkestanica, known for its content of ecdysteroids - plant-based compounds that have been researched for their anabolic and adaptogenic properties. The product is standardized to 10% turkesterone and is supplied in 100% vegan pullulan capsules, free of artificial additives. Each box contains 120 capsules, manufactured in the UK to GMP standards, with high purity and quality. The product is not listed on WADA's prohibited list (2025), but is on WADA's monitoring programme.

Health benefits
Turkesterone has been researched for its ability to support the body's natural processes for adaptation to physical activity. The research on plant-based ecdysteroids points to several interesting effects, but without documented medical claims.

• 💪 Exercise response and strength - supports the body's natural processes that contribute to muscle function and adaptation during physical activity. Often used by athletes who want to increase training response and strength in a natural way.
• 🔁 Recovery and load tolerance - supports energy metabolism and adaptation to exercise and stress, and helps the body to more easily handle increased training load.
• 🌿 Lesser known effect - Ajuga turkestanica contains a wide range of natural ecdysteroids, which are being researched for possible impact on the cells' energy production and regeneration, without hormonal influence.
