For bodybuilders and strength athletes, nothing is more important than becoming more muscular. This requires having access to the best nutraceutical sports chemistry available to pack on Heavy-duty muscle, produce surging gains in strength, and slice fat from the body. OxyBolin 250® is a Hi-Tech Muscle & Strength supplement overflowing with nutraceutical sports chemistry, with a benchmark formulation of natural anabolic compounds ready, willing, and able to turn muscle machinery into anabolic overdrive. These compounds are Rhaponticum carthamoides extract (standardized to 20-hydroxyecdysone and turkesterone), 6-keto-diosgenin, dehydroepiandrosterone (also called prasterone, DHEA, androstenolone, and 3ß-hydroxy-5-androsten-17-one), and 7-keto-DHEA. Hi-Tech also incorporates its proprietary Extend-Rx™ Delivery System to extend the half-life of the active components in OxyBolin 250® to prevent deactivation of these compounds during their first-pass through the liver.

Rhaponticum carthamoides extract (RCE) is center stage in OxyBolin 250®, which derives its traditional name, Maral Root, from the Maral deer that feed on it where it grows wild in Southern Siberia and the Kazakhstan region. The anabolic benefits of RCE have been documented by a large volume of research that began in the early 1970s by Russian scientist Dr. V.N. Syrov and his colleagues, then subsequently by several teams of researchers in Eastern Bloc countries. This research demonstrated that RCE is a classic adaptogen, possessing a wide spectrum of anabolic activities, with remarkable action on the contractile proteins of the skeletal muscles. RCE utilizes pathways that cause a cascading effect, which leads to a number of insulin and IGF-1 responses, including enhancing protein synthesis and glucose uptake, stabilizing glycogen levels, and increasing blood flow to the muscles. RCE has also been shown to reduce body fat by favorably influencing lipolysis and lipogenesis. The most significant aspect of RCE is its ability to trigger more protein synthesis via non-hormonal pathways by interacting directly at the juncture of protein synthesis within muscle cells. RCE goes directly to the core component of cellular RNA activity to hyper activate more rapid protein chain assembly. This, in turn, further enhances the production of muscle. This is a fundamentally different method of action than that of certain banned substances because RCE does not bind to testosterone or estrogen receptor sites. Thus, RCE activity does not cause any of the androgenic, thymolytic, or antigonadotropic effects associated with the use of banned compounds. The most active compounds in RCE are called ecdysteroids, which include ecdysterone (also called 20-hydroxyecdysone), sileneoside A, and turkesterone. Hi-Tech standardizes its RCE to both 20-hydroxyecdysone and turkesterone.

During the past twenty years, researchers have been able to isolate and identify specific RCE compounds. Their findings have led to great advancements being made in regard to uncovering the vast benefits associated with RCE. At least seven Eastern Bloc scientific teams have completed comprehensive research studies on 20-hydroxyecdysone, with additional research conducted by Russian scientist Dr. Zakir Ramazonov, who believes that turkesterone is the most potent RCE compound. Although Russian and Eastern European athletes have been using RCE as a part of their anabolic arsenals for nearly 40 years, RCE represents a new class of muscle-building compounds for bodybuilders and athletes in the United States. In the past, there was little interest outside of the Russian and Eastern Bloc athletic communities for the use of these compounds because they were not easily accessible and there wasn't a cost-effective method to extract or synthesize the RCE compounds. However, recent breakthroughs have meant that these compounds can now be isolated in an extremely concentrated form, which has allowed Hi-Tech to further perfect an extraction process to pump up the dosage of RCE in OxyBolin 250® to the threshold level required to yield this compound's anabolic and ergogenic benefits. In addition to RCE research, the Russians have also made substantial progress with research on other structurally similar compounds, such as 6-ketodiosgenin (also contained in OxyBolin 250®) and 25R, spirostan-5a-diol-6-one-3-one (ecdybolin), which are obscure compounds that Hi-Tech incorporates in many of its Muscle & Strength products. These compounds have remained elusive to most supplement companies in the United States due to the scarcity of the raw materials and their high cost. Hi-Tech obtains all of its RCE from Russia, which is a much more expensive (at least ten times more) and certainly a better quality extract than the inferior material being imported from China by only a very few other supplement companies, whose motive for inclusion of the compound in the product's formulation is simply for window dressing. There is no window dressing on a Hi-Tech label!

OxyBolin 250® is not just another reinvention of an existing product type presently available in sports supplementation. This protein-blasting supplement represents a totally stand-alone sports supplement for bodybuilders and athletes that augment any benefits that may already be in hand from using other sports supplements. OxyBolin 250® is about to open the eyes of the bodybuilding community to the realization that muscle growth can truly be accelerated by means other than androgen receptor binding!
