Sport Hormone Activator²⁹ – 29-Ingredient Natural Testosterone Booster for Athletes

D-アスパラギン酸 403 mg

D-aspartic acid (DAA) is an amino acid that acts as a signalling molecule in the hypothalamus, pituitary and testes. It stimulates the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone and luteinising hormone (LH), which in turn signals the Leydig cells to produce testosterone. Studies on men aged 27 and over have reported LH increases of up to 118% and average natural-testosterone increases of around 48% with DAA supplementation. Higher natural testosterone drives protein synthesis (faster repair of damaged muscle fibres and more lean mass from the same dietary protein), supports fat use as fuel, and underpins strength and energy.

• Supports LH and FSH signalling to the testes
• Supports natural testosterone production
• Supports protein synthesis, repair and lean mass
• Supports fat loss and energy

Peruvian Maca 25:1 Organic Extract (Lepidium meyenii, root) 372 mg

SCN™ uses a 25:1 organic extract of Peruvian maca, not dried root powder: one gram of extract equals 25 grams of root and is absorbed far faster. Maca is a cruciferous root grown above 4,000 m in the Peruvian Andes with a long history of use as a hormonal balancer for men and women. A review of four randomised clinical trials (131 participants) found maca improves sexual desire after six weeks; a review of five studies found it improves semen volume, count and motility; and in eight trained cyclists, 14 days of maca extract improved 40 km time-trial performance. Maca’s flavonoids are linked to its mood benefits, it supports learning, memory, proprioception and kinesthetic learning, and its glucosinolates support prostate health.

• Supports libido in men and women
• Supports male fertility
• Helps balance hormones and supports comfort through menopause
• Supports mood, learning and memory
• Supports sports performance and endurance
• Supports prostate health

Tribulus terrestris 90% Extract (aerial parts) 248 mg · 223.2 mg saponins

Tribulus is a traditional tonic herb used by athletes to support sexual function, muscle mass and performance. SCN™ uses a 90% saponin extract (protodioscin-rich), the strongest standardisation available, so the full 223 mg of steroidal saponins is delivered in every scoop rather than a trace in a cheap root powder.

• Supports athletic performance
• Supports libido and sexual function
• Supports muscle mass
• Supports sperm motility

Testofen® Fenugreek Extract (Trigonella foenum-graecum, seeds) 217 mg · 108.5 mg saponins

Testofen® is Gencor’s patented fenugreek extract standardised to 50% Fenuside™, a proprietary matrix of saponin glycosides. Fenugreek contains more than 100 phytochemicals including furostanol and steroidal saponins; Testofen® concentrates the ones that support free testosterone, anabolic activity, libido and vitality in men, and it is the most clinically-studied fenugreek extract on the market.

Fenugreek seed extract also acts as an insulin mimetic: in a muscle-biopsy study, fenugreek extract combined with glucose produced 63% more glycogen resynthesis than the same glucose alone, and increased amino-acid transport into muscle — a powerful recovery and anabolic effect.

• Supports free testosterone within the normal range
• Supports anabolic activity and muscle maintenance
• Supports libido, vitality and healthy aging in men
• Supports glucose disposal, glycogen resynthesis and exercise recovery

L-Citrulline Complex — DL-Malate 155 mg + Base 102.3 mg

Citrulline is a non-protein amino acid with a central role in the urea cycle, clearing ammonia produced during hard training. It is the most efficient oral precursor of L-arginine and nitric oxide, so it widens blood vessels, improves blood flow to working muscle and supports erectile function. Citrulline has been shown to stimulate the mTOR signalling pathway that drives protein synthesis, to reduce hepatic breakdown of amino acids, and to amplify the growth-hormone rise seen after exercise and during sleep.

• Supports vasodilation and blood flow
• Supports the post-exercise and night-time GH rise
• Supports protein synthesis and muscle maintenance
• Supports ammonia clearance and fatigue resistance

Sensoril® Ashwagandha Extract (Withania somnifera, root & leaf) 124 mg · 39.68 mg oligosaccharides · 12.4 mg withanolide glycosides

Sensoril® is a patented, water-extracted root-and-leaf ashwagandha standardised to three bioactives (withanolide glycosides >10%, Withaferin A and oligosaccharides) — the highest bioactive level on the market, which is why it works at a lower dose than ordinary ashwagandha. It is backed by 12 clinical studies, is non-GMO, organic, vegetarian, kosher, halal and self-affirmed GRAS, and is protected by multiple international patents. Ashwagandha is an adaptogen: it lowers the body’s stress response (cortisol), which directly protects testosterone, and it is also a nootropic and a performance ingredient.

• ストレスの管理と軽減
• Supports energy, focus and reaction time
• Supports upper- and lower-body strength
• Supports sleep quality, mood and vitality
• Supports cognitive health, concentration and memory
• Supports thyroid function, sexual performance and sports performance
• Supports joint, cardiovascular, endothelial and lipid health

Saw Palmetto 11:1 Extract (Serenoa repens, berries) 108.5 mg · 48.82 mg fatty acids

Saw palmetto’s fatty acids and phytosterols inhibit 5-alpha-reductase, the enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT. In a formula designed to raise testosterone, that matters: it keeps more testosterone as testosterone, and it protects the prostate, the urinary tract and the hairline from the effects of excess DHT. SCN™ uses an 11:1 concentrated extract, not berry powder.

• Supports prostate health
• Supports urinary-tract health and comfortable urination
• Helps limit DHT conversion from higher testosterone
• Anti-inflammatory support
• Helps limit hair-loss effects of high testosterone

L-Arginine Complex — Alpha-Ketoglutarate 102.3 mg + Hydrochloride 68.2 mg

Arginine is the amino acid your pituitary responds to with a growth-hormone pulse. It works by blocking somatostatin, the natural brake on GH release — an infusion study in healthy men showed arginine triggers an immediate GH increase relative to placebo (Growth Horm IGF Res, 1999), and arginine taken around intense exercise reliably enhances the exercise-induced GH rise (J Nutr, 2011). Arginine is also the direct substrate for nitric oxide, supporting blood flow, and the pituitary’s GH response to arginine is so reliable that clinicians use it as a diagnostic test of pituitary function. The AKG form adds alpha-ketoglutarate, a Krebs-cycle intermediate that supports energy production and ammonia clearance.

• Supports growth-hormone release, at rest and during training
• Supports nitric oxide, blood flow and nutrient delivery
• Supports tissue repair and healing
• Supports energy metabolism (AKG)

L-Ornithine Complex — Alpha-Ketoglutarate 62 mg + Hydrochloride 62 mg

Ornithine is arginine’s partner in the urea cycle and in GH release. Ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate (OKG) is used clinically to support muscle-protein building under stress, and L-ornithine HCl has been studied repeatedly for physical fatigue and recovery from exercise. Arginine improves ornithine uptake into the cell, which is why the two are combined here.

• Supports GH and IGF-1 after heavy training
• Supports recovery from fatigue
• Supports muscle-protein building under stress
• Supports ammonia clearance

Magnesium Complex — L-Pidolate 124 mg · Citrate 93 mg · Bisglycinate 77.5 mg · Carbonate 49.6 mg = 55.28 mg elemental magnesium (15% NRV)

Four magnesium forms chosen for complementary absorption and tolerance: pidolate (fast, well tolerated), citrate (highly bioavailable), bisglycinate (gentle, calming, no laxative effect) and carbonate (slow release). Magnesium is required by more than 300 enzymes, it lowers SHBG so more testosterone stays free, and it is the mineral most strongly linked to sleep quality, nervous-system calm and muscle function.

• Supports free and total testosterone in men; helps women balance their own sex hormones
• Maintains normal muscle and nerve function and a steady heart rhythm
• Supports sleep, lowers stress and anxiety
• Supports a healthy immune system and cardiovascular health
• Gentle forms — easy on the stomach

Gamma-Oryzanol (Oryza sativa) 77.5 mg

Gamma-oryzanol is a complex of ferulic-acid esters and plant sterols from rice-bran oil. It supports testosterone and growth-hormone stimulation, stimulates endorphin release, and has very strong antioxidant activity. Strength athletes have used it for decades to support power, lean mass and recovery.

• Supports testosterone stimulation and GH secretion
• Supports power, strength and lean body mass
• Supports recovery after training and during sleep
• Reduces post-exercise soreness
• Supports fat loss and healthy aging

Rhaponticum carthamoides 95% 20:1 Extract (root) — the real ecdysterone 38.75 mg · 36.81 mg ecdysterone

Ecdysterone is arguably the strongest natural anabolic substance known, and Rhaponticum carthamoides is its most potent and best-tolerated source — not spinach extract, not Cyanotis vaga. SCN™ uses a 95% 20:1 root extract, so a single scoop delivers a full 36.81 mg of pure ecdysterone plus five supporting phytosteroids: makisterone C, carthamosterone, polypodyne B, ajugasterone C and 24-dehydromakisterone A. The anabolic response is greatest with the concentrated root extract, not seeds or whole plant — always read the label, because 4:1, 8:1 and 10:1 extracts and plain powders do not compare.

• 100% doping free — 100% anabolic activity as a phytosteroid
• Increases endurance, speed and strength
• Increases protein synthesis and total protein and glycogen content in muscle
• Promotes a positive nitrogen balance and protects muscle mass
• Reduces fatigue and adipose tissue
• Supports nerve function and erythropoiesis
• Supports libido, memory and learning, sleep quality and immune function

Tomato Extract (Solanum lycopersicum, fruit) 46.5 mg · 9.24 mg lycopene

Enzyme support helps the body cope with sudden changes in diet, travel, environmental stress and weather, and ensures the 28 other actives are broken down and absorbed rather than passed through. Vegan-suitable.

• Supports complete digestion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats
• Supports nutrient release and absorption
• Supports digestive comfort during heavy eating and travel

AstraGin® — Astragalus membranaceus & Panax notoginseng Extracts 31 mg

AstraGin® (NuLiv Science) is a highly purified, fractionated gut nutraceutical shown in 16 in-vitro and 8 in-vivo studies (Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, Molecular Nutrition & Food Research, Scientific Reports) to increase absorption of amino acids, peptides, fatty acids, vitamins and phytonutrients by up-regulating absorption-specific mRNA and transporters such as SGLT1, CAT1 and GLUT4; to support the integrity of the intestinal wall and reduce intestinal submucosal inflammation; to help maintain a healthy microbiota; and to support immune function through the gut-associated lymphoid tissue.

• Increases absorption of amino acids, vitamins and plant actives
• Supports intestinal-wall integrity
• Supports a healthy microbiota and gut-based immunity

Zinc Complex — Bisglycinate 60 mg · 12 mg Zn · Citrate 25 mg · 8 mg Zn · Picolinate 25 mg · 5 mg Zn = 25 mg elemental zinc (250% NRV)

Zinc is a cofactor in more than 300 enzymes and is required for the synthesis of testosterone, growth hormone, thyroid hormone and insulin. SCN™ uses three forms: bisglycinate (zinc bound to two glycine molecules, which survives stomach acid and duodenal enzymes and shows over 40% higher bioavailability than gluconate or citrate), citrate (well absorbed and well tolerated) and picolinate (supports prostate and liver function). Athletes, vegetarians, vegans, older adults and anyone who sweats heavily have a markedly higher zinc demand, and even a marginal deficiency drops testosterone.

• Optimises production of testosterone, GH, thyroid hormones and insulin
• Can inhibit aromatase and act as a natural oestrogen blocker — more free, active testosterone
• Accelerates post-workout recovery and repair of exercise micro-trauma
• Supports immune function, antiviral defence and natural detoxification
• Protects cells and DNA from free radicals; supports healthy aging
• Supports skin elasticity, wound healing and mood (serotonin synthesis)
• Zinc picolinate supports prostate and liver function

ビタミンD3（コレカルシフェロール） 38.75 µg · 1,550 IU · 775% NRV

Vitamin D is a steroid pro-hormone, and the testes carry vitamin-D receptors. In a year-long randomised controlled trial, vitamin D supplementation significantly increased total, bioactive and free testosterone in overweight men compared with placebo (Pilz S, et al. Horm Metab Res 2011). It also supports muscle function, bone, immune function and mood — and most athletes in northern climates are deficient from October to April.

• Supports total and free testosterone
• Supports muscle function and power
• Supports immune function, bone health and mood

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxal 5′-Phosphate) 6.32 mg · 451% NRV

P5P is the active, coenzyme form of vitamin B6 — no liver conversion needed. B6 regulates hormonal activity, supports the synthesis of serotonin, dopamine and GABA (mood and sleep), supports normal protein and glycogen metabolism, and helps regulate prolactin and oestrogen activity, complementing the formula’s oestrogen-control ingredients.

• Contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity
• Supports neurotransmitter synthesis, mood and sleep
• Supports protein and glycogen metabolism and energy
• Reduces tiredness and fatigue

BioPerine® Black Pepper Extract 95% (Piper nigrum, fruit) 9.3 mg · 8.83 mg piperine

BioPerine® (Sabinsa) is a patented black-pepper extract standardised to at least 95% piperine — the clinically proven “natural bioavailability enhancer”. It increases blood supply to the GI tract, the emulsifying content of the gut and active nutrient transport, and manufacturer research shows it raises absorption of selenium by 30%, beta-carotene by 60%, vitamin B6 by 140–250%, and coenzyme Q10. Piperine also shows antioxidant, liver-protective and mood-supporting activity.

• Makes all 28 other ingredients work better
• Raises absorption of minerals, vitamins and plant actives
• Antioxidant and liver support

Selenium (L-Selenomethionine) 31 µg · 56.3% NRV

Selenium, in its most bioavailable organic form, is essential for normal spermatogenesis, thyroid-hormone activation (T4 → T3) and the glutathione antioxidant system that protects the testes from oxidative stress.

• Contributes to normal spermatogenesis
• Supports thyroid function and metabolism
• Antioxidant protection of hormone-producing tissue

Boron (Sodium Borate) 0.5 mg

Boron is the trace mineral that frees testosterone. A week of boron supplementation in healthy men has been shown to raise free testosterone and lower SHBG and oestradiol (Naghii MR, et al. J Trace Elem Med Biol 2011), and boron also supports bone health and vitamin-D metabolism.

• Supports free testosterone and lower SHBG
• Supports healthy oestrogen levels in men
• Supports bone health and vitamin-D status
