Core Nutritionals ALPHA - Ultra-Potent Natural Hormone Optimizer |
|
|
This product is not recommended for women*
A few years ago, Core Nutritionals made a statement: we released Core
TEST, the most potent and well-designed products in its category, and
one that quickly became known as the, "best healthy hormone support on
the market." Our extensive in house research and multiple blood analysis
tests indicated significant improvement in all studied metrics over 8
weeks. . Believe it or not, after a year of tweaking the formula, we
have come up with an even more potent, all natural supplement designed
to optimize your gains! Core Nutritionals is proud to present to you
Core ALPHA (Core TEST v2)!
Core ALPHA is an all-natural, innovative product featuring
ingredients backed by numerous clinical studies. Core ALPHA’s
ingredients are not only all-natural and powerful, but are also DSHEA
compliant – providing a range of ingredients to support healthy hormone
function and balance. As with all Core Nutritionals’ products, Core
ALPHA’s ingredients are included in a non-proprietary blend featuring
clinical servings, so you know exactly what you are supplementing.
Core ALPHA takes the super-effective Core TEST formula and makes
it even better! In addition to the important ingredients found in the
original Core TEST and the all new Core ALPHA, including
3-desoxy-7-keto-DHEA, Coleus forskohlii, and vitamin D3, Core ALPHA
makes five major advances in formulation over the original:
- Replacement of sodium DAA (D-aspartic acid) with the more potent form
NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate).
- Inclusion of a second anti-aromatase inhibitor (Brassaiopsis glomerulata)
to further support healthy hormone balance.
- Inclusion of a high dose of Mucuna pruriens seed extract (50% L-dopa) to
promote healthy dopamine levels along with supporting healthy LH
function .
- Inclusion of a high dose of zinc (as zinc aspartate) to support healthy
testosterone levels.
- Easier dosing with just 2 capsules recommended per day.
Unleash your inner ALPHA male with the ultra-potent Core ALPHA!
N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA)
N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) is an amino acid that is found naturally
in several endocrine glands, including the testes and pituitary. While
the correlation between DAA and testosterone production has been
clinically documented, research indicates several possible mechanisms
for these effects. It’s likely that DAA acts as a neuromodulator
influencing several pathways that govern the reproductive system,
particularly testosterone production. Some studies indicate that DAA’s
concentrated presence in the hypothalamus, pituitary, and testes
identify this protein as an up-regulator of gonadotropin-releasing
hormone (GnRH), luteinizing hormone (LH), growth hormone (GH), and
testosterone. Some studies have found that DAA also stimulates a protein
called StAR. StAR is necessary for the cholesterol transport in the cell
that is needed for testosterone production. Further, its role in
modulating the sexual drive implicates DAA assists nootropic activity,
supporting health levels of dopamine and serotonin. Balanced levels of
dopamine and serotonin have a range of significant benefits.
To improve on D-aspartic acid we have instead incorporated N-methyl-D-aspartate
(NDMA) into the Core ALPHA formula. DAA is converted into NMDA, which is
a potent stimulator of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor pathway. By
directly stimulating this pathway, NMDA is needed only in small doses
unlike DAA’s higher dose requirements. In fact, NMDA elicits its hormone
releasing action at concentrations approximately 100-fold lower than DAA.
Thus, at a 30 mg dose, NMDA, shows promise to support an optimal balance
of hormones.
3-desoxy, 7-keto-DHEA ("3D7K")
3D7K is a unique new supplement. Plain 7-keto-DHEA is well-known in the
supplement market as a weight management and cortisol balancing product.
Core ALPHA’s compound, 3- desoxy, 7-keto DHEA is a lesser known
metabolite of DHEA that is already present in small amounts in the body
naturally, and may also play a role in supporting healthy glucocorticoid
levels (similar to other 7-oxegenated DHEA metabolites). But more
importantly, 3D7K is a powerful AI (aromatase inhibitor). The enzyme
known as aromatase is responsible for converting testosterone to
estrogen in the human body. Furthermore, elevated estrogen can
ultimately lead to lower testosterone levels in men (through signaling
the hypothalamic pituitary testicular axis (HPTA) to shut down
production of GnRH and LH). By binding to aromatase in an irreversible
manner (suicide inhibitor), 3D7K effectively supports healthy estrogen
levels through aromatase inhibition and also helps support healthy
testosterone levels.
Due to 3D7K’s anti-aromatase action, it may facilitate the actions of
other ingredients in Core ALPHA’s formula in their various functions.
Like NMDA, this would be a potent supplement alone, but in combination
with the other ingredients in this alpha-making formula, it helps to
make Core ALPHA perhaps the most effective product in its market.
Note: 3-desoxy, 7-keto DHEA
(8R,9S,10R,13S,14S)-10,13-dimethyl-2,8,9,11,12,14,15,16-octahydro-1H-cyclopenta[a]phenanthrene-7,17-dione)
is a completely natural aromatase inhibitor that complies with DSHEA
regulations and does not convert to testosterone or any other banned
substances (unlike other anti-estrogens pulled from the market in recent
years).
Brassaiopsis glomerulata leaf extract (10:1)
Brassaiopsis glomerulata is a large shrub of the Araliaceae family that
occurs in south and Southeast Asia. Throughout Asia, this plant is used
to treat rheumatism and back pain, aid in digestion, and treat bone
fractures in traditional medicinal systems (TMS). Despite its many
medicinal uses, the most interesting aspect of the leaves of
Brassaiopsis glomerulata is their ability to reduce the activity of
aromatase. Studies show that multiple components of a Brassaiopsis
glomerulata leaf extract are capable of aromatase inhibition. The
addition of this 10:1 extract in Core ALPHA, along with the 3D7K, gives
this product a one-two punch at supporting a healthy estrogen balance.
Coleus forskohlii root extract (20% forskolin)
Coleus forskohlii is another powerful ingredient that helps support
healthy body weight, and testosterone levels.. Forskolin operates by
elevating levels of 3,5 cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)—a key
endocrine regulator and secondary chemical messenger. Testosterone
production in the leydig cells is mediated by luteinizing hormone (LH)
and requires cholesterol. High cAMP have been shown in research to
up-regulate levels of LH, and also facilitate the effective transfer of
cholesterol by stimulating a protein called StAR (steroidogenic acute
regulator). StAR allows for faster and more efficient creation of
testosterone by improving cholesterol transport and enhancing the
anabolic mediation of LH. Increased cAMP levels also affect adipose
tissue where it promotes the burning of fat cells through lipolysis,
providing increased energy. And because forskolin increases cAMP without
needing epinephrine (adrenalin), this fat-burning energy production does
not require artificial stimulants.
Mucuna pruriens seed extract (50% L-dopa)
Mucuna pruriens is one of the popular medicinal plants of India and is
known to contain various beneficial nutritional compounds. The main
nutrient found in Mucuna pruriens is L-dopa, which acts as a natural
source of dopamine. Prolactin is a hormone released by the pituitary
gland, which is believed to exert anti-androgenic effects in men..
Mucuna pruriens’ ability to support healthy dopamine levels may
significantly reduce the release of prolactin hormone by the pituitary
glands offering powerful benefits. In addition, clinical evidence
suggests that Mucuna pruriens not only supports healthy growth hormone
levels but also contains naturally occurring serotonin precursors to
support mood, memory, and overall well-being. Clinically shown to
support optimal balance of growth hormone, prolactin, serotonin and
other beneficial hormones, Mucuna pruriens may also assist healthy
weight management and stress support.
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol)
Vitamin D3 is an essential hormone precursor that plays a vital role in
many metabolic functions, including bone health, , support for immune
and blood pressure health, lean body mass, and weight management).
Clinical trials have even linked Vitamin D3 with an increase in overall
health and well-being. Although some foods contain vitamin D, the human
body generates most of its vitamin D needs from the skin through regular
exposure to sunlight. Severe vitamin D deficiency is a significant and
widespread problem, especially in North America. In addition to its
well-known properties for supporting bone density and strength and
general inflammatory response, Cholecalciferol is included in Core ALPHA
because studies have shown that higher levels of vitamin D in men are
correlated with higher levels of circulating testosterone.
Zinc (as zinc aspartate)
Zinc deficiency is prevalent throughout the entire world, including the
United States. Both severe and moderate zinc deficiencies are positively
correlated with lower testosterone levels in men. And while zinc
deficiency has been shown to lower your testosterone levels, zinc
supplementation has been correlated with an increase in testosterone
levels. Clinical research indicates that zinc deficiency reduces
circulating luteinizing hormone and testosterone concentrations, may
lower healthy levels of aromatase (increasing estrogen levels), and
modifies sex steroid hormone receptor levels, thereby contributing to
unhealthy hormone balance and male sexual function. Zinc supplementation
with the aspartate form can support optimal zinc absorption and hormone
balance.* |
