Everyone wants to be able to feel their best. Whether mentally or physically, energy is constantly being expended and restored within the body. What goes into making your body feel at its best energy levels can depend on factors such as your age, weight, health, sleep, etc., but some come down to factors that are harder to determine.

The importance of energy
“What could be more important to understand than biological energy? Thought, growth, movement, every philosophical and practical issue involves the nature of biological energy.”
Ray Peat, Ph.D. endocrinologist
These factors influence your hormonal levels, ultimately controlling how you feel. As a result, many individuals try hormone replacement therapy or take stimulants to make themselves feel energized. [1]
However, there are alternatives worth giving a try. Reaching optimal physical and mental levels of energy sometimes means restoring a small part of your body that is deficient. And for some individuals, supplements such as NMN and Turkesterone are precisely what their body needs to perform at optimal levels.
What is NMN?
To understand the potential benefits of NMN, it is first vital to understand this supplement. NMN, or nicotinamide mononucleotide, is a derivative of Vitamin B3. NMN is converted into NAD+, which is shown to have an anti-aging effect.
NAD+ naturally occurs in the body, but like many hormones, it slowly decreases as we age. NAD+ is one of the most abundant molecules in the human body and is required for over 500 different enzymatic reactions. This molecule can primarily be known for aiding functions in the body, such as:
- Activating enzymes responsible for the repair of DNA [2]
- Activating ATP production
- Engaging the metabolism
- Mitochondrial repair
On a basic level, this molecule helps the body repair and grow. For this reason, many individuals have found that it can profoundly affect aging and physical performance.
As NMN increases your NAD+ levels, incredible effects can occur as a result of this. Because your body is decreasing its recovery time, this also can lead to an increase in your physical performance. You may notice that you need less time to recover after a workout, your sleep quality may improve, or you may have more cardiovascular endurance. [4]
Where Can I Get NMN?
Our Premium NMN is considered to be a highly effective NMN supplement due to its combination of BioPerine®. BioPerine® is patented and clinically tested in its absorption efficacy. Furthermore, numerous studies such as Harvard’s show that 1g, the dose used in their product, is necessary for superior results.
What is Turkesterone?
So what is turkesterone? Turkesterone is one of many ecdysteroids found naturally in plants and insects. Essentially, it is a plant’s equivalent to testosterone. Humans produce hormones such as testosterone, while plants make their own hormones such as turkesterone. Turkesterone is found primarily in plant species such as Ajuga turkestanica, Triticum aestivum, Rhaponticum acaule, and some species of Vitex. It is also found in some plants, such as spinach or quinoa, but only in finite amounts.
It would be nearly impossible to consume enough plants to reach optimal dosages of turkesterone, however, so many individuals have started using concentrated turkesterone to reap the benefits of this ecdysteroid.
Some individuals may be concerned when they hear a word such as ecdysteroid, but it is important to note that turkesterone will not change your hormonal levels. Turkesterone is technically a steroid, but it is not to be compared to hormone-altering anabolic steroids that can be harmful. The main difference is that it does not suppress hormonal levels or bind with androgen receptors like anabolic steroids. However, many individuals are still finding that turkesterone can have some anabolic benefits, among other things.
Turkesterone is undergoing many clinical trials to verify authenticity, although its anecdotal evidence remains abundant. Turkesterone is classified as an adaptogen meaning that it may have positive effects on the mind’s ability to handle fatigue and anxiety. Similarly, turkesterone may have anabolic benefits on an athlete’s strength and endurance.
Many of these benefits come from ATP synthesis, which is also a natural benefit of supplements such as creatine. When ATP synthesis occurs, this improves an individual’s strength, performance, and endurance. Many ecdysteroids have been found to improve ATP, although turkesterone has been found to be the most potent among the bunch. [5]
Where Can I Get Turkesterone?
Our ultra-pure turkesterone is a great option because it boasts some of the most potent dosages of turkesterone on the market. While most turkesterone products contain 10% Ajuga Turkestanica, Black Forest contains roughly 95%.
