E-BOL
Non-hormonal Anabolic Matrix
ThermoLife International has finally released its groundbreaking non-hormonal
super anabolic E-BOL formula which targets many important categories of
performance enhancement, such as: muscle growth, strength increase, endurance,
recovery, fat loss, adaptation to stress, neuro-protection and increased immune
function. E-BOL is a completely non-hormonal and natural supplement which was
primarily designed to increase anabolism, muscle growth, strength, endurance and
recovery, however dozens and dozens of studies have shown that the ingredients
in E-BOL do way more than just this.
E-BOL contains the purest ecdysterone extract in the world, extracted from
the plant Rhaponticum carthamoides, which is the same exact extract that was
used in all the Russian studies that showed ecdysterone’s anabolic effects. This
is important because copy cat and other unscrupulous companies motivated by
nothing more than to see how much money they can make off you will use the
anabolic and clinical data based on the ecdysterone used in our product but then
they will try to fool you and sell you some inferior plant containing a low % of
ecdysterone with NOT ONE clinical study proving anabolic activity.

The above mentioned studies that prove the anabolic effects of the
ecdysterone used in E-BOL (which are cited below) are what give E-BOL its
initial anabolic fame and we even went to the trouble of getting some of the
rarer and more important studies translated from Russian to English when no
other versions existed.
The next ground breaking component in E-BOL is the extract of cyasterone from
the plant Radix Cyathulae, which contains at least 20% cyasterone and is
exclusive to ThermoLife. Remarkably, Cyasterone has been shown clinically to be
even more anabolic than ecdysterone and the good news doesn’t stop there! The
Radix Cyathulae extract used in E-BOL also contains 10 other plant ecdysteroids
in addition to cyasterone which provides amazing synergy and anabolic support.
E-BOL has the unique cutting edge advantage of containing many exclusive
ingredients including the world’s most potent extract of Rhodiola Rosea at 15%
rosavins, and the custom synthesized and never before seen ingredient 6-KETO
diosgenin that we had to custom synthesize and is exclusive to ThermoLife.
ThermoLife is also leading the industry by harnessing the little known and
powerful clinically proven anabolic properties of Ionol and Ashwagandha. The
precisely engineered blend of natural ingredients in E-BOL contains extremely
potent antioxidants, free radical scavengers, strong immune system boosters,
liver protectors, mood elevators, and neuro-protectors.
E-BOL’s ingredients also have other impressive effects such as: increasing
resistance to fatigue, improving thyroid function, burning fat, increasing
healing speed, decreasing the amount of corticosterone released (catabolic
hormone), increasing protein synthesis, lowering cholesterol, lowering blood
pressure, improving sexual performance, alleviating the effects of depression,
protecting the heart’s functions and rhythms, and increasing red/white blood
cell counts. Unlike other companies we DO NOT make things up. Each of the claims
above are proven in the clinical studies that are posted at the end of the full
product write up.
This precision blend of 7 carefully selected ingredients has been
painstakingly researched to provide maximum health benefits in a completely
naturally way with no adverse side effects.
Every single ingredient in E-BOL has been shown to have anabolic effects with
absolutely no androgenic effects (none of the typical side effects associated
with the use of steroids such as hair loss, testicular atrophy, loss of libido,
etc…) or any other negative health effects. All of this incredible synergy
(teamwork between ingredients if you will) will increase your mental and
physical performance and allow you to recover at an accelerated rate and
decreases the occurrence of overtraining. This ‘super formula’ is designed to
benefit all aspects of physical function for both endurance athletes and
bodybuilders alike. Get your bottle of E-BOL today and make the most out of
every workout by turning your body into a super anabolic performance and
recovery machine.
Research:
ThermoLife International’s E-BOL is a natural and non-hormonal dietary
supplement designed to boost anabolism, recovery, and endurance (among many
other things). It has a huge number of other health benefits aside from these,
and nearly every positive effect is shown across multiple ingredients. The
precision blend of 7 carefully selected ingredients has been painstakingly
researched to provide maximum health benefits completely naturally, with no side
effects. Below are detailed descriptions of each of the 7 ingredients in E-BOL
with outlines of what they do, and with each claim made backed up by scientific
research.
Ecdysterone (from Rhaponticum Carthamoides):
Ecdysterone is a hormone present in plants and insects and has a typical
steroidal chemical structure. Its effects in humans are drastically different
than they are in plants meaning that it is non-hormonal in humans and has none
of the typical side effects associated anabolic steroids (a completely different
class of hormone molecules). It has been touted as ‘the Russian Anabolic Secret’
and has been shown in many studies to increase anabolism and muscle growth as
well as endurance (drastically). One key thing to keep in mind when looking at
an ecdysterone based supplement is the plant source from which it was extracted.
ThermoLife uses ultra high purity extracts specifically sourced from the
Rhaponticum carthamoides plant and standardized for 99% ecdysterone, the purest
ecdysterone extract in the entire in the world.
When looking at any product containing ecdysterone it is important to know
that any and all studies showing anabolic activity from ecdysterone used
extracts from Rhaponticum Carthamoides plants, the same material used by
ThermoLife. These studies observed steroidal like increases in anabolism and
erythropoiesis (red blood cell differentiation) similar to the popular drug
nerobol (D-BOL) but without the androgenic effects (1,2,3). Many other studies
have been done on ecdysterone and Rhaponticum carthamoides, and effects such as
(4) increased endurance (perhaps due to their ability to increase red blood cell
production), (5) strong antioxidant activities, (6) hypolipidemic effects
(cholesterol lowering), and (7) anti-microbial effects have been widely
observed. Ecdysterone supplementation in quails (8), mice (9) and pigs (10) has
shown remarkable increases in muscle growth, protein synthesis, and greatly
increased quality of animal products. These effects have been seen on numerous
different animals in many different medical studies, as well as in humans. A
study done on humans showed significant increases in anabolism, as well as fat
loss (11). Although the action of these molecules is hormonal in plants (through
different biological pathways than in humans), it is not directly so in humans
and therefore is considered completely natural and non-hormonal. A proposed
mechanism for the anabolic actions of ecdysterone in the body is by means of
(12) increasing protein synthesis. It is suggested that this is due to (12)
increased ribosome activity and increased speed of assembly of ribosomal
subunits into translation complexes (i.e. 80s initiation complex) which
synthesize proteins using mRNA (messenger RNA are instructions for protein
assembly) as a template. It is also suggested that through this increased
ribosomal activity, the speed at which polyribosome units translocate amino
acids onto growing polypeptide chains is increased; these combined effects yield
overall increased rates of protein synthesis. Another study which demonstrated
these effects showed that supplementation with ecdysterone can cause increases
in protein synthesis in the liver by as much as 50% (13).
Unlike anabolic steroids, which are typically required to promote the sort of
anabolic improvements and effects that been previously discussed, ecdysterone
does not have any negative impacts on the body’s functions. The effects are
quite opposite to the negative sides of anabolic steroids, and studies have
shown it to protect liver function (14,15), and scavenge free radicals (5). It
has also been suggested that on top of being infinitely safer than the anabolic
steroid nerobol (and all anabolic steroids for that matter), it may actually
have (4) a wider range of actions and may cause greater increases in endurance
in a shorter period of time. The range of positive effects from this compound
seem to be endless, and it even has the effects of increasing sexual performance
in human males (17), increasing learning and memory in rats (18), and lowering
blood pressure (anti-hypertensive) (19).
Radix Cyathulae (20% Cyasterone):
Radix Cyathulae is a traditional Chinese plant that has been used for centuries
to aid in blood stagnation, improve liver and kidney functions, alleviate
depressive moods, and help with joint pains. Along with containing the exciting
compound ecdysterone (as discussed above), it contains 10 other potent plant
sterols with very strong promise for anabolic activity. Among these 10 new
ecdysteroids, the most exciting addition is cyasterone. It is a molecule which
has similar structural properties to ecdysterone and exhibits many (perhaps
more) of the same benefits. The key difference here is that Cyasterone has (20)
anabolic effects even greater than those of ecdysterone, and is comparable in
this sense to another less known but very potent plant sterol, turkesterone. In
order the maximize the anabolic effects of cyasterone, the Radix Cyathulae
extract used by ThermoLife International in E-BOL is standardized to at least
80% ecdysteroids. This yields 20% of the total extract being cyasterone and the
other 60% being made up of the following 10 additional plant sterols:
- Isocyasterone
- 5-Epicyasterone
- Sengosterone
- Amarasterone A
- Amarasterone B
- Capitasterone
- Post-sterone
- Ecdysterone
- Crustecdysone
- Precyasterone
The anabolic effects of ecdysterone are well studied and it has been shown to
be potent enough to be used as its own highly anabolic supplement (i.e.
ThermoLife Ecdysten and the Russian drug Ecdysten). The other components listed
above on their own have great potential for anabolic activity; however this has
yet to be fully studied. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the inclusion of these
additional plant sterols provides massively increased synergy and yields
unprecedented anabolic activity. The synergy that occurs in the full plant
extract as opposed to a single isolated sterol is very powerful and greatly
improves all of the positive effects of these compounds (all benefits listed
about ecdysterone). These new plant sterols combined with the already well known
activities of ecdysterone and the even greater anabolic properties of cyasterone
packs a very powerful anabolic punch. The strong effects of these ecdysteroids
are not just for muscle growth, and they have been shown to yield impressive
increases in endurance, as well as memory and learning (21). These findings
indicate that supplementation of plant sterols are not just for bodybuilders
(although ideal) and are beneficial for all athletes regardless of their
specific sport. The effects seen from Radix Cyathulae are very similar to those
listed for ecdysterone (see the section on Ecdysterone for details of effects),
such as increased anabolism and muscle growth (16), as well as liver protective
effects (3) and neuro-protective effects (22).
The antioxidant properties of ThermoLife International’s exclusive Radix
Cyathulae extract are very powerful because it has the ability to (23) increase
the activity of the enzymes superoxide dismutase and catalase. The reason why
this is so profound is because typical free radical scavengers must intercept
and neutralize free radicals, which is a second order reaction requiring the
chance collision of two molecules. This reaction relies on the probability of
two incredibly small molecules spontaneously colliding (not fantastic odds, and
is somewhat concentration dependant), which reduces the overall efficiency and
frequency of the reaction. Antioxidant activity acting through an enzyme however
has exponentially higher effectiveness and has a cascading ability to work much
faster and more efficiently. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is the enzyme
responsible for neutralizing superoxide anion radicals, and catalase is
responsible for neutralizing hydrogen peroxide (both are very reactive and
harmful oxygen species). The high affinity of these reactive oxygen species for
the active sites of the SOD and catalase enzymes, the extremely fast turnaround
time of the enzymes, and their high abundance gives them extremely high
antioxidant activities. These harmful reactive oxygen species are very common
by-products of many of the human body’s regular metabolic pathways. This means
that effective neutralization of these dangerous oxygen radicals is crucial for
the survival and optimal function of our cellular machinery. This does not mean
that your regular antioxidants such as vitamin C and green tea are obsolete,
because SOD and catalase are specific to reactive oxygen species and do not hunt
for regular free radicals. Many of the plant ecdysteroids (as well as other
ingredients in E-BOL) however also work by conventional free radical scavenging
methods and are effective against other types of potentially hazardous free
radical molecules. The blend of ecdysteroids from Radix Cyathulae and
Rhaponticum carthamoides, combined with the strong antioxidant abilities of many
of the other ingredients in E-BOL makes it quite literally a super antioxidant
formula. An example of some of the intense synergy in this formula is that both
Ashwagandha and 6-Methyluracil have similar antioxidant effects as Radix
Cyathulae and show strong superoxide dismutase and catalase boosting
capabilities.
Rhodiola Rosea:
Like the ecdysterone used in E-BOL the Rhodiola Rosea used in E-BOL is the most
potent extract in the entire world standardized to a previously unheard of 15%
rosavins (typical extracts contain 3% rosavins) and 5.1% salidrosides.
Rhodiola Rosea belongs to the plant family Crassulaceae, and grows mostly in
high altitude locations in the arctic areas of Europe and Asian. It has been
used for centuries in traditional medicine to help improve physical endurance,
work productivity, longevity, resistance to high altitude sickness, depression,
anemia, impotence, gastrointestinal ailments, infections, and nervous system
disorders. In recent scientific studies on Rhodiola Rosea it has been shown that
many of these properties are not just folk lore, and the effects are indeed
quite potent.
It has been classified as a plant adaptogen, which means that it increases
the ability of an organism to adapt to mental and physical stress. The increased
ability of an organism to adapt to environmental factors and avoid being harmed
by them allows for steady physical and mental improvement. Rhodiola has been
shown to (24) increase mental performance and physical work capacity while
yielding no addictive properties or any sort of an energy crash. Rhodiola is
believed to have potential at treating mental disorders such as Alzheimer’s due
to its mental and memory enhancing abilities. It is proposed that these effects
are due to (25) the ability of rhodiola to act as acetylcholine esterase
inhibitor (ACE inhibitor), which decreases the breakdown of the neurotransmitter
acetylcholine. It has also been shown that (26) Rhodiola can stimulant central
nervous system function (CNS) and reduce depression-type behaviors and symptoms.
The effects of increasing mental capacity and energy are also coupled with (26)
strong protective effects against neurotoxicity which will help maintain mental
functions and help ward off disorders such as Alzheimer’s. Another fantastic
health benefit that Rhodiola Rosea has is its (27) anti-diabetic and blood sugar
regulating effects (it shows clear anti-hyperglycaemic and insulin stimulating
activity). The benefits from this plant are not limited to the mind and it has
been shown to be (28) hepatoprotective and help to normalize liver enzymes. In a
double blind study performed on medical physicians working stressful night
shifts, Rhodiola was shown to (29) improve fatigue resistance and reduce general
fatigue. In another double blind study performed on stressed out students during
an exam period, Rhodiola was shown to (30) yield significant improvements in
physical fitness, mental fatigue, and neuro-motoric tests. Test subjects also
experienced enhanced mood and feelings and well being. On top of all of this
Rhodiola has been shown to (31,32) have strong anti-mutagenic effects (prevents
occurrence of genetic mutations which can possibly lead to health problems).
Similar to many of the other ingredients in E-BOL, Rhodiola also has (34) potent
hypolipidermic effects (decreases cholesterol), as well as (35) protective
effects on the heart. The most exciting benefits of Rhodiola Rosea (and least
known) are its anabolic properties. Every ingredient in E-BOL has been shown in
studies to exhibit anabolic properties (among many other great effects), and
Rhodiola is no different. Studies suggest that Rhodiola may exhibit (36) great
anabolic properties in animals, perhaps through increasing protein/amino acid
synthesis, ribonucleic acid (RNA) transcription, ATP concentrations of cells
(and hence increasing metabolism), and ammonia reassimilation. Rhodiola has also
been shown to greatly increase fat loss by increasing fat metabolism (37).
The most active compounds present in Rhodiola Rosea, which are responsible
for these effects are the rosavins and salidrosides. The extract of Rhodiola
used in E-BOL is the most potent extract currently available in the word, being
standardized to an impressive 15% rosavins (typical extracts contain 3% rosavins)
and 5.1% salidrosides. All of these effects provide great synergy with the other
ingredients in E-BOL and have the effects of increasing recovery, athletic
performance, and health.
Ionol:
Ionol is a potent synthetic antioxidant, which has been used as a food additive
for years with the purpose of prolonging the life of goods and providing extra
health benefits to the consumer. Ionol has been shown to be a strong antioxidant
having health benefits such as (38) boosting immune system function, (38)
helping to prevent viral infections, and also (39) participating in
mitochondrial membrane protection (the mitochondria is the main site of aerobic
respiration in the body). The preservation and antioxidant effects of ionol
(also known as BHT) are very well known, however the potent anabolic effects
that occur at a correct dosage are not nearly as well known. It has been shown
that (40) supplementation of ionol yielded increased DNA and protein synthesis
in mouse organs in 2-4 and 1.2-1.5 times, respectively. These significant
increases are coupled with the effects it has on (41) reducing the amount of
corticosterone released from the adrenal glands during emotional-painful stress
(i.e.: physical activity). Corticosterone is a catabolic hormone, and therefore
suppressing its release during exercise will yield greater muscle growth
potential and have an anti-catabolic effect (will prevent the breakdown of
existing muscle tissue). Another study on ionol shows that it (42) not only
increases protein synthesis, but also increases the rate of DNA repair. The
anabolic potency of E-BOL is exponentially increased by the synergy occurring
between all 7 anabolic ingredients.
6-Methyluracil (6MU):
6-Methyluracil (6MU) is a nucleoside analog which is nearly identical to the
base uracil, with the exception of a methyl group on the number 6 carbon
position. 6MU is very close in molecular structure to both uracil and thymine (thymine
is merely 5-Methyluracil). Nucleosides are part of what make up our DNA bases,
and are one of several of the building blocks of DNA (similarly to how amino
acids are the building blocks of proteins). 6MU has been shown to (43)
accelerate healing from burn wounds; with the proposed mechanism for this being
the involvement of 6MU in the regulation of lipid peroxidation processes.
Although this study was specific to burn wounds, the underlying mechanism for
increased healing occurs even in the absence of burn wounds. This means that the
increased healing and repair shown in the burn wound study should be effective
on other sorts of traumas (all sorts of repairs such as muscle repair and
general bodily healing). The underlying mechanism is the regulation of lipid
peroxidation, which has been shown (44) to occur in mice livers (mice which did
not have burn wounds). This further supports the anecdotal feedback that 6MU
does indeed increase healing and repair in subjects that were not exposed to
traumas such as burn wounds. The increased lipid antioxidative activity caused
by 6MU as mentioned above helps to protect lipids from degradation by radicals.
Lipid peroxidation is the process by which lipids are destroyed via oxidation
(loss of electrons) by free radical species such as ROS (reactive oxygen species
such as superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radicals, etc…). Lipids
(fats) are not just used for storing energy and have a wide range of effects in
the body such as helping to make up cell membranes and acting as transport
molecules. These ROS were previously discussed and shown to be greatly reduced
by antioxidants that stimulate superoxide dismutase and catalase, such as radix
cyathulae, and ashwagandha. 6MU’s effects of increasing the healing process of
the body are further reinforced in a study (45) which also shows that 6MU has
influence on lipid peroxidation regulation, as well as having antioxidant
capabilities by increasing superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. It has been
suggested (46) that these lipid antioxidative effects from 6MU are most active
in muscle tissues, which is where a large amount of stress and damage occurs
during exercise. The previous two studies were not done on burn victims, which
further support the ability of 6MU to increase the rate of healing and repair in
the body. The ability of 6MU to speed up the process of repair and healing in
the body has profound implications on its ability to improve recovery and
subsequently improve muscle growth after weight training and exercise. The
effects of 6MU are not just increased healing through lipid peroxidation
regulation. It has been shown (47) to increase survival times of mice which were
injected with the poison TEM or bombarded by x-rays, showing an overall anabolic
effect. In another study (48) it is possibly shown that the anabolic properties
of 6MU are through increased protein synthesis and anti-catabolic effects. All
of these effects greatly add to the already impressive abilities of E-BOL to
help increase anabolism and protein synthesis, decrease damage by free radical
species, and increase the healing and recovery processes of the body through
numerous different pathways.
Ashwagandha:
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a herb that is extensively used in Ayurveda,
the traditional health care system in India as a general tonic and adaptogen.
Interestingly enough the name comes from the peculiar odor that the plant gives
off, which has been compared to that of a sweaty horse (just for the record your
container of E-BOL will not smell like a sweaty horse). The most active
components in ashwagandha are withanolides and ThermoLife uses an extract that
is standardized to a very potent 1.5% withanolides. Supplementation with
Ashwagandha in mice has been shown to (49) yield increases in superoxide
dismutase (SOD, a potent antioxidant enzyme which destroys superoxide anion
radicals), glutathione (the body’s ‘master’ antioxidant, extremely important in
immune function and healing), and yield decreases in DNA damage (anti-mutagenic).
Another study (50) also supports the fact that supplementation with Ashwagandha
increases levels of SOD, as well as the enzyme catalase (also an antioxidant
enzyme which quenches hydrogen peroxide) in humans. The antioxidant power of
supplementing with SOD and catalase boosting compounds (such as Ashwagandha,
Radix Cyathulae, and 6MU in E-BOL) is far greater than that of typical
antioxidants such as vitamin C or vitamin E (46). Another pathway (in addition
to increasing SOD and catalase activity) that has been proposed for the
immunostimulatory effects of Ashwagandha is the increased production of (51) NO
(nitric oxide), especially in macrophages (responsible for destroying and
presenting foreign organisms/particles to antibodies). Ashwagandha has also been
shown in part to (52) increase levels of the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and
triiodothyronine (T3) in mice, without causing any changes in hepatic lipid
peroxidation (no adverse effects on the liver); it was also shown to increase
catalase activity (liver protective). Due to these thyroid hormone boosting
abilities it has been suggested as an aid for treating hypothyroidism (52) as
well as a good fat loss aid and metabolic enhancer (with no thyroid
suppression). These findings would indicate that E-BOL stacked with ThermoLife
Dicana would be an excellent stack for fat loss, with the extra anti-catabolic,
anabolic, and healing properties of E-BOL helping a great deal towards the
overall effects. Another study (53) supports these findings and shows
Ashwagandha supplementation to increase T4 and T3 concentrations as well as show
very strong liver protective effects by decreasing lipid peroxidation and
increasing SOD and catalase activity. There is very strong synergy shown between
the many ingredients (many shared positive effects between ingredients) in E-BOL
which further increase the activity of these enzymes and decreases lipid
peroxidation, subsequently showing amazing increases in recovery and general
health. The individual ingredients Ashwagandha, Radix Cyathulae, and 6MU have
all been shown to be very effective at doing these things on their own, and when
combined together they are an anabolic and antioxidative healing force to be
reckoned with. In frogs and mice ashwagandha has been shown to (54) yield
cardio-protective and adaptogenic effects as well as increases in tissue weights
(potentially anabolic), and increased swimming performance.
All of the ingredients in E-BOL so far have had strong anabolic properties
and Ashwagandha is no different, showing amazing potential for increased
anabolism and muscle growth. In a study performed on mice (55), administration
of ashwagandha showed significant increases in swimming times and bodyweights,
displaying fantastic anabolic potential. To perfectly aid and enhance these
anabolic effects, in mice Ashwagandha has been shown to (56) increase red blood
cell, white blood cell, and platelet counts. Increases in these cells may yield
immunostimulatory effects (improved immune system function), improved oxygen
delivery, increased physical endurance, and improved recovery. This same study
also shows direct anabolic effects by means of significantly increased body
weights. These effects are made even more profound due to the fact that there
are no negative side effects, and there are actually countless positive health
effects and absolutely no loss of gains or rebound effects (as with steroids).
The very powerful liver and kidney protecting/healing effects (57) of
Ashwagandha are especially relevant to bodybuilders due to increased caloric
intakes. The large protein intake of bodybuilders places a greater work load on
the renal system of the body; not to mention the potentially increased number of
vitamins/supplements/compounds which are ingested and need to be processed and
metabolized. Ashwagandha also has extraordinary antioxidant effects (boosting
SOD, catalase, decreasing lipid peroxidation) (58), anti-ulcer effects (58),
neuro-protective/memory enhancing effects (59), and chemo-protective effects
(60,61). The strong adaptogenic abilities of Ashwagandha make it a great
addition to the other adapotgens present in E-BOL, and shows great anti-stress
(62,63), cardio-protective (64), and even anti-inflammatory effects (65).
Due to Ashwagandha being such an amazing plant and having effects such as;
anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-stress, antioxidant, immunomodulatory,
hemopoietic, and rejuvenating properties, it has been recommended that clinical
trials for a number of health conditions be conducted with it (66).
6-KETO diosgenin ((25 R)-5alpha-spirostan-2alpha,
3beta, 5alpha-triol-6-OH):
6-KETO diosgenin is a natural derivative of a class of compounds called
sapogenins. Similar to ecdysterone, sapogenins are plant sterols (plant
hormones) which among exhibiting many other positive health benefits, show
potent anabolic properties and have no negative side effects. 6-KETO diosgenin
has been shown in rats to (67) have very prominent anabolic effects with no
change in testicular or prostate weight and no changes in genitalia (and no
androgenic effects). The increased anabolism and growth in subjects receiving
6-keto diosgenin was almost 2 times as high as the control group, yielding
astounding anabolic potential. This compound is custom made and world exclusive
to ThermoLife International, and due to this fact the amount of information on
it is limited. The findings in the above study, combined with the overwhelming
positive anecdotal feedback however are extremely promising. Its addition to E-BOL
plays a key role in its amazing synergistic effects and takes its anabolic
growth potentials to the next level.
A note on synergy: Tying it all together:
If the previous 67 peer reviewed scientific/medical studies (which clearly
showed the incredible benefits and ‘teamwork’ of all of the ingredients in E-BOL)
were not enough to convince you that ThermoLife E-BOL is indeed the most ground
breaking non-hormonal supplement to ever be released, then perhaps an overview
of the benefits will hit the point home. It’s important to emphasize that the
potent anabolic synergy (as well as antioxidant, hypolipidermic, recovery, etc…)
in all of E-BOLS ingredients are completely natural and safe, with no negative
side effects such as those commonly experienced with steroids. The profound
impact of this fact may take a minute to really ‘sink in’, because there is
really no suppression or alteration in natural testosterone production with none
of the common steroid side effects. To have anabolic effects of the nature and
size seen in E-BOL (and proven in medical studies) with absolutely no
introduction/augmentation of human hormone levels (such as testosterone, DHT,
etc…), and with no androgenic effects is basically unheard of. Many of the
ingredients also show very powerful liver healing abilities, strong antioxidant
effects (and subsequently anti-aging abilities), immune system boosting effects,
anti-mutagenic activity, increased recovery and healing effects, and many more.
Anabolic steroids are illegal and have a huge number of potentially deadly side
effects; E-BOL however aids and improves an astounding number of functions in
the human body yielding incredible health benefits. Every one of the 7
ingredients in E-BOL show powerful non-hormonal anabolic properties; many of
which are through different pathways which provide great synergy (teamwork) to
maximize growth. These extremely potent anabolic effects have absolutely no
negative health effects such as anabolic steroids, and have exactly the opposite
effects which are proven by the large number of studies claiming amazing
positive results. The adaptogenic effects of E-BOL from Rhodiola Rosea and
Ashwagandha provide increased adaptability to mental/physical stresses (exercise
is a key example of this, as well as other daily stress’s) have
endurance/performance enhancing effects as well as increased recovery and (which
all greatly aid muscle growth). Just to emphasize the great benefits of the
precision blend of ingredients in E-BOL, the following list shows all of the
positive health effects outlined so far.
- Increased rates of erythropoiesis (red blood cell differentiation)
- Increased white blood cell and platelet production
- Increased anabolism with no adverse health effects or androgenic effects
- Increased endurance and physical performance/work capacity
- Strong free radical scavenging abilities (antioxidant effects)
- Strong superoxide dismutase and catalase boosting abilities (antioxidant
effects)
- Hypolipidermic effects (Cholesterol lowering)
- Anti-diabetic blood sugar moderating abilities
- Anti-microbial actions
- Increased rates of protein synthesis
- Increased rates of fat loss and fat metabolism
- Hepatoprotective effects (Protecting liver/kidney function as well as
aiding in repair of damage)
- Improved sexual performance
- Anti-hypertensive effects (blood pressure lowering)
- Improved memory and learning capabilities
- Neuro-protective effects (helps against neurodegenerative diseases)
- Alleviation of depression symptoms/mood elevation
- Adaptogenic abilities (improves ability to adapt to physical/mental
stresses)
- Improved fatigue resistance
- Anti-mutagenic effects
- Aiding in mitochondrial membrane stabilization (main site of energy
metabolism)
- Stimulation of the immune system
- Helping to prevent viral infections
- Decreased amount of corticosterone released (catabolic hormone)
- Increased rates of healing/recovery
- Improved lipid peroxidation regulation
- Increased levels of thyroid hormones T3 and T4
- Cardio-protective effects
- Chemo-protective effects
- Mild Anti-inflammatory effects
Now try and find another product (dietary supplement or even pharmaceutical
drug for that matter) that even claims to have as many health benefits as this
(with no side effects), let alone provides 67 scientific studies proving them to
be true. It’s very easy to make unfounded claims and provide hype to sell a
product, however providing the cold hard facts with medical/scientific studies
is something ThermoLife International pride’s itself on. Welcome to ThermoLife’s
non-hormonal anabolic revolution, officially sponsored by science and research.
