Chemical BE - Beta-Ecdysterone

- Ecdysteroids, a type of steroid hormone, control many aspects of insect life. Even though Ecdysteroids have a similar structure to testosterone, they do not work like testosterone in humans. Many other things can be done with Ecdysteroids, such as boosting athletic performance, managing diabetes, and improving body composition. +(1)(2)

- Ecdysterone (20-Hydroxyecdysone) is a powerful and unique natural muscle-building supplement. Athletes and bodybuilders use it because it increases strength and power and increases lean muscle mass. +(3)

- Although performance-enhancing drugs are still widely used, it is possible to gain muscle and strength without supplements or steroids. Studies conducted at Freie Universität in Germany suggest that ecdysterone may be particularly effective at increasing strength and muscle recovery.+

- This ingredient provides many health benefits to bolster the body. First off it reduces stress and anxiety which can be a killer for most individuals for their goals and testosterone. KSM-66 promotes overall strength, size and recovery of muscles in the body and the processes that support these muscles. It enhances the cardiorespiratory endurance of the body making this ingredient ideal for any individual from strength to general health. It promotes over all sexual function in both men and women. +(4)   

- In a new study, KSM-66 brand ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) may improve muscle strength, size, and recovery in adult male resistance-trained athletes. As compared to a placebo group, healthy adult males who consumed ashwagandha root extract and trained for eight weeks experienced a significant increase in muscle strength and size, and a significant reduction in exercise-induced muscle damage markers.+

- In addition, KSM-66 supplementation was found to significantly increase testosterone levels and decrease body fat percentage. +(5)(6)

- Coleus Forskohlii roots contain forskolin, which was developed over 3,000 years ago and traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine. +(7)

- Studies on humans have shown a direct correlation between Coleus Forskolin and increased testosterone levels. During a double-blind, randomized, 12-week study, 30 overweight men supplemented with 250 mg of 10% forskolin extract twice a day (25 mg actual Forskolin) showed an increase in both free testosterone (16.77%) and total testosterone levels (33.77%). +(8)

- It's not surprising that free testosterone levels increased in the above-mentioned study since fat actually locks up and stores testosterone. In order to build muscle and increase strength, you must burn fat in order to unlock your testosterone. Forskolin burns fat primarily by increasing cAMP and HSL. +(9)(10)

- Why did we add PeakO2 to Beta-Ecdysterone? Through PeakO2®, athletes can train longer and harder while improving oxygen utilization and work capacity. The product is primarily used for pre-workout and intra-workout blends such as greens, reds, collagen, etc. We added to this product for this very specific reason.  +

- Adaptogens make up PeakO2. Athletes can "adapt" to and then overcome both physical and mental stress with adaptogens. Their training will then be able to take the next step when they want to advance. It is a huge advantage in any sport or line of work to be able to adapt to new stresses. Adapting to and overcoming stress is something we have to do every day as humans. +(11)

- Through the pathways that adaptogens work, PeakO2 has been clinically shown to improve workout duration along with the amount of time it will take to become fatigued. PeakO2 leads to increases in power output and an overall increase in power and strength. This subsequently leads to a better anerobic state during exercise and performance because of the increase to oxygen utilization during said exercise. +(12)

BioPerine, a key ingredient found in many Chaos and Pain supplements, is an extract derived from black pepper, known scientifically as Piper
nigrum. Its active component, piperine, is renowned for enhancing the absorption and bioavailability of various nutrients and supplements. By
modulating metabolic processes and increasing thermogenesis, BioPerine enhances the body's natural thermogenic activity, leading to increased nutrient absorption. This property makes it a valuable addition to supplements, as it ensures the body effectively utilizes the active ingredients, thereby enhancing their overall efficacy and benefits.

Smilax Sieboldii Extract, standardized in Chaos and Pain's Chemical BE, is an innovative ingredient derived from a species of the Smilax family. This particular extract is valued for its unique properties that support physical performance and muscle development. It works by enhancing the body's natural anabolic processes, leading to improved muscle strength and endurance, without the adverse effects associated with synthetic alternatives. Its inclusion in Chemical BE underlines Chaos and Pain's commitment to incorporating effective, natural ingredients in their supplements, offering a sophisticated option for athletes and fitness enthusiasts seeking to optimize their physical gains safely and naturally.
