How does laxogenin work?

At a molecular level, brassinosteroids like laxogenin have been shown in studies to activate a signaling pathway known as the mTOR pathway. This pathway regulates protein synthesis, and its activation leads to an increase in muscle protein synthesis. Laxogenin has also been shown to increase levels of the protein AKT, which is involved in regulating cell growth and metabolism.

In addition to its muscle-building properties, laxogenin has been studied for its potential anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects. Some studies showed it could reduce lung tumor formation in mice and kill leukemia and colon cancer cells [1,2,3].

Using laxogenin with prohormones

Both prohormones and laxogenin are popular supplements in the fitness world, each with its own set of unique anabolic benefits. When used together with laxogenin, the combination of the prohormones and laxogenin has a complementary effect that can help enhance muscle growth and recovery. For example, both Laxogenin and prohormones enhance the mTOR pathway, each in its own unique way. Both promote protein synthesis, and both prevent the breakdown of protein in the muscle cells. The stack of Laxo and ProHs will help muscle growth and recovery by increasing protein synthesis and reducing protein breakdown.

Women and drug-tested athletes often use Laxogenin as a natural alternative to anabolic steroids because of its measurable muscle-building effects without the steroid side effects. It is also legal in most sports and does not require a prescription.

Cutting and bulking with laxogenin

To cut with laxogenin, we recommend taking a dose of around 100-200mg daily, split into two doses, with meals throughout the day. You should combine laxogenin use with a balanced diet high in protein and low in calories, along with a regular exercise routine that includes cardiovascular and resistance training.

To bulk with laxogenin, we recommended taking a dose of around 200-300mg daily split into two or three doses, taken with meals throughout the day. In a bulking phase, you should combine laxogenin with a diet high in protein and calories and a regular exercise routine that includes resistance training with progressive overload. Do not be afraid of carbohydrates during a bulking cycle; enjoy them as you grow.
