Laxogenin, known chemically as 5 Alpha Hydroxy Laxogenin, is a naturally occurring plant based steroidal sapogenin found in Smilax Sieboldii - a plant related to asparagus that is native to China & Japan.
Laxogenin promotes growth and vitality in plants and posseses a similar anabolic/androgenic ratio to the popular oral anabolic steroid, Anavar.
What Does It Do?
Laxogenin directly increases protein synthesis and nitrogen retention, while simultaneously decreasing protein breakdown and inhibiting the stress hormone, cortisol. As such, Laxogenin helps create the ideal anabolic environment for improving body composition; increasing muscle mass and decreasing body fat.
Laxogenin has been anecdotally reported to rapidly increase strength, increase muscle growth and recovery, and improve resistance to fatigue.
Importantly, although Laxogenin is a plant based steroid, it does not act via hormonal pathways in the human body and does not interfere with natural hormone production. In particular, it has no effect on the hypothalamus-pituitary-testicular-axis or estrogen levels, nor does it suppress luteinizing hormone like many popular anabolic steroids. Furthermore it does not put excess strain on the liver!
