Trans-Resveratrol
This compound is like sliced bread to the supplement industry. There are many different health benefits to come from resveratrol, but we picked it up for one in particular. Resveratrol is capable of modulating estrogenic receptors as well as controlling aromatase, giving it that One Two Punch for estrogen control.[2][3] Research has shown its estrogenic modulation capabilities to increase sperm production by stimulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. [1]

Horny Goat Weed
Horny Goat Weed (HWG) is a great source of the testosterone mimetic, Icariin. Research on Icariin has shown it to increase circulating testosterone levels as well as improve reproductive organs, making it a great therapeutic for hypoandrogenic states (like right after a steroids cycle). [4]

On top of the testosterone mimetic capabilities of icariin, it also has some very interesting metabolites. In vivo research has shown icariin to metabolize into icaritin and desmethylicaritin. [5] What's great about these guys is the fact that (like resveratrol) are very strong estrogenic receptor antagonists. [6][7]

Quercetin & Piperine
Well we've got our pretty sick post cycle therapy stack going here, but there poses one small problem, and that's absorption and bioavailability. Icariin and Resveratrol do not have the greatest bioavailablity in all the land so we gave them a little help with Quercetin and Piperine. Quercetin is used because it is the most potent natural inbitor of estrone sulfanase which degrades compounds like resveratrol. [15] This makes not only aids in absorption, but enhances antiestrogenic activity. Piperine is another addition because it enhances the ability of your intestines to absorb nutrients and phytochemicals. [16] Additionally, piperine may also inhibit the glucuronidase enzyme, another enzyme which degrades resveratrol.[17]

It's awesome so far, libido has been sky high . Strength has been up a bit, sleep has been very deep, pumps have been insane when I workout after the AM dose. It's a great NHA and did I mention the libido is crazy? LOL

Stoked would be perfect for me and the timing is excellent. I will finish PCT for a cycle of IDS Sostonal 250 today. I'll have approximately ten weeks until next cycle. I'll keep a good log and lastly even though I'm a fan of AI it'll be an honest one.



Peace!

Cycle went well. I saw increases in strength & wieght. I put on about 10lbs and looks like I'll keep 4-5 of them. My diet was very clean and I imagine I could have done better with a higher caloric intake. I'm not real keen on feeling maxed out stuffed all the time though so I kept my calories to around 3500 ed. I tried to hit 50/30/20 carb/p/f. Major sides were as expected- lethargy and back pumps. Couldn't get much cardio in either due to intense calf pumps. PCT included Nolva, Life Cycle, Cissus, and my usual supps of multi, fishoil, turmeric, tribulus, whey, and CEE.



Peace!

This is a bit long-winded and I'll keep my posts to the 50 word limit if I'm lucky enough to be selected, but ...

I would love to evaluate STOKED simply as a stand-alone mood/body comp/libido/endurance (resveratrol is supposed to be GREAT for cardio endurance) booster, to consider it as a long-term staple supplement.

I've been off-cycle for 10 months, and though I had a disciplined recovery with tamoxifen and Dermacrine Sustain, I've been feeling mild symptoms of suppression for the last few months. I also tend to store and retain the most stubborn body fat in estrogenic patterns - hips, butt, inner thighs - and had pubertal gynecomastia, so any help in the anti-estrogen department would probably be a good idea.

I would love to try Stoked because I have never tried any kind of test booster and to be honest, I don't think it'll work though I have been curious about them (just not curious enough to drop the money for any since I have had success using minimal supplements).

I'm somewhat confused by the labeling. Trans-Resveratrol 50% 600mg in 2 caps. So this means that there is actually 300mg of trans-resveratrol correct? It doesn't mean 50% extract resulting in 600mg of trans-res?


I think this looks like a very good product but I'm not convinced it is a great test booster. It may have the potenital to be but I think the real benefit lies in it's anti oxidant properties and all the other greta things resveratol may do. For that reason alone I would like to try the product and if it should boost libido or testosterone then it's icing on the cake. But I haven't much experience with these ingredients so I may not be the best candidate.

Thanks for your interest in STOKED! Em ...Yes, there is actually 300mg. of the active TR.

The synergy between the Icarrin and TR make it a optimal test booster, rather than TR alone. TR is mainly included for how it affects estrogen and how test is increased when estrogen is reduced (not to mention its anti-oxidant, general health, etc. effects). I'm currently on the third week of STOKED! and libido, strength, and sleep has all been affected positively. Pumps are awesome when taken close to pre-workout.

To further add to what Amino stated, quercetin and piperine are included for a few different reasons. The quercetin inhibits an enzyme that breaks down the trans res and is also an anti oxidant.

The piperine is also thought to inhibit another enzyme that degrades trans res as well as having the ability to help absorption in the intestines. As you can see, the ingredients are quite synergistic.

Stoked besides being a test booster and estrogen reducer is overall a great supplement for general health would that be correct amino?

Resveratrol seems to be popular amongst those people trying to increase their lifespan. It seems to have numerous benefits but is not bioavailable. This is why quercetin is added as it inhibits the enzymes that break it down. It seems to be a CYP450 inhibitor which so happens to break down other chemicals as well. So is there any products you should avoid while taking this product. I know some people say to avoid taking it with prescription drugs but I don't use any so no worries. I wonder if there coul
