The article describes in detail drugs that are not anabolic. You can buy them at any pharmacy to boost your training progress. It is very difficult to achieve great results without steroids. However, there are drugs that are completely safe for health, and they can be purchased at any pharmacy. They are not an alternative to anabolic drugs, but are essential for athletes to speed up their recovery after exercise. Today we will talk about three representatives of the pharmacy adaptogen: Eleutherococcus, Leuzea and Riboxin. Let's start describing them in order.
Eleutherococcus spiny
This substance is very effective in recovering from strenuous physical exertion. Among the drugs created from plant materials, Eleutherococcus can be safely called the best stimulant of human performance.
After the use of Eleutherococcus, fatigue, drowsiness quickly pass, the brain begins to work more actively, and efficiency also increases. It is important to note that there are no side effects at all.
It should be said that Eleutherococcus, like other substances belonging to the group of adaptogens, is most effective against the background of past fatigue. When used during exercise, the effect will be relatively small. Also, the substance should not be considered a substitute for steroids, its main task is to accelerate the recovery process after removing the load.
Clinical trials have shown that Eleutherococcus will not be effective as a dietary supplement for athletes. During the experiment, athletes took a pharmacy adaptogen for six weeks, and the quality of training sessions did not change. Eleutherococcus prickly is an alcoholic tincture. Take Eleutherococcus as follows: from 15 to 30 drops of the product must be diluted in a tablespoon of water. Eleutherococcus is consumed 30 minutes before meals, 1 to 3 times a day. On the day of training, you can take one dose before training to increase performance.
This pharmacy adaptogen has no contraindications, but you should not take it at elevated temperatures, during an infectious disease and with hypertension stage 2 and higher.
Leuzea extract in bodybuilding
The homeland of Leuzea safflower (maral root) is the Altai mountains, Central Asia, Eastern and Western Siberia. Leuzea contains a large amount of ecdisten, especially in the rhizomes.
The substance ecdysterone (ecdisten) is a herbal steroid. With the use of leuzea, working capacity increases significantly, blood supply improves, and, consequently, the nutrition of muscle tissues; brain activity is activated.
In traditional medicine, Leuzea is successfully used to restore strength in case of decline, mental and physical fatigue, and is also recommended for people working in difficult conditions.
During clinical trials, an improvement in the well-being of the subjects was noted, as well as an increase in working capacity. In addition, the body recovered faster after intense physical exertion. In the blood of the subjects, an increase in hemoglobin was found, as well as an increased number of red blood cells and leukocytes.
After the use of leuzea, the synthesis of protein compounds increases, although the drug does not have hormone-like properties, despite a certain similarity with anabolic substances in structure. Pharmacy adaptogen is available in the form of tablets and alcohol tincture.
To use the drug, it is necessary to dilute from 20 to 30 drops of the product in a tablespoon of water. Leuzea should be taken three times a day. Those athletes who prefer leuzea tablets should take 1-2 tablets (5 to 10 milligrams) three times a day.
Despite the fact that some sources report the high effectiveness of ecdysterone as an anabolic agent, clinical trials have not confirmed this assumption. But as a remedy for recovery after hard training, the drug is very effective.
Riboxin in bodybuilding - how to take
Riboxin, aka inosine, is synthesized by the human body mainly in the heart and skeletal muscles. The substance is a purine derivative and can be considered a precursor to ATP.
Riboxin takes an active part in the energy metabolism of the body. Its main purpose is to deliver oxygen to the cells of muscle tissue. The drug significantly enhances the synthesis of 2.3-DPG. This component is found in red blood cells and ensures the transfer of oxygen to cells.
In addition, inosine is an indispensable element for the synthesis of ATP during exercise. Basically, the drug is positioned as an additive to increase ATP synthesis, increase strength and improve blood circulation.
Riboxin should be taken on an empty stomach. For bodybuilders, a daily dosage of 1.5 to 2.5 grams is considered normal. At the beginning of taking Riboxin, the dosage can be reduced to 0.6-0.8 grams three times a day.
If the body accepts the pharmacy adaptogen well, then the dosage is raised to 2.5 grams. The course of taking Riboxin can last from four weeks to three months.
Riboxin is practically free of side effects. The exception is some diseases such as gout and urolithiasis. This is due to the peculiarity of the drug to increase the level of uric acid. In the 70s, Riboxin was actively used by athletes, but there was no increase in muscle tissue mass. As a remedy for restoring and improving blood supply, the remedy turned out to be quite effective.
