YK-11 Advantage

1. YK-11 ADVANTAGE NUTRITIONAL MATRIX “Those who think they have no time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness.” Edward Stanley WWW.GMTLABS.CO.ZA

2. BASICS OF LIVING A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE (HEADING) To live a healthy lifestyle means that one must be conscious of daily practises that are consistent with supporting, improving, and maintaining optimum physical and mental health. It is important to continuously introduce new habits and kick old habits to improve one’s health “Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.” JIM ROHN

3. IMPORTANCE OF EXERCISE “Sufficient sleep, exercise, healthy food, friendship, and peace of mind are necessities, not luxuries.” Mark Halperin One does not need to be a professional athlete or sportsman to have a desire to boost athletic performance. A person who is stronger, fitter, and healthier will have better self-confidence, be more motivated in their day and will be happier in general. Exercise will have anti-aging affects (physically and mentally), increase neuroprotective properties, stimulate fat- loss and improve immune response. Exercise has been proven to assist directly and / or indirectly, physical and mental illnesses, and be a solution to many problems our society is facing today: Depression and Anxiety/Stress Lack of self-confidence/Self- esteem Sleep problems and Insomnia Fatigue and Low-Energy Concentration and Memory Retention Problems Heart, Lung and/or Digestive Tract disorders Obesity or Weight-gain Muscle-loss and Weakness Joint and Bone Pains OCD Impotency or Lack of Sexual Drive Weak Immune System Unhealthy Skin

4. THE IMPORTANCE OF TESTOSTERONE The way one approaches exercise will have a large influence on the expected outcome and generally the higher the intensity of your exercise, the more muscle growth you stimulate, and the greater the testosterone production in your body. Testosterone levels have a direct correlation with lower body fat percentage and greater muscle mass. Testosterone is a hormone that is more prominent in men than women and when at an optimum level it can boost muscle growth, burn fat, support mood, improve sleep, increase energy and libido. Testosterone levels start to decline when a male reaches their late 20’s / early 30’s and this shift is the reason for harder muscle gains, inefficient fat burning and has a direct impact on mood. Testosterone levels in athletes is directly proportional to their overall ability to perform their physical / mental task. When testosterone levels begin to decrease in people, it becomes much more difficult for them to gain muscle and perform at their peak, which is why it may be necessary for many performers to help supplement their body with testosterone to continue performing at their peak while avoiding injuries. Testosterone has two main properties: Anabolic: The promotion of production of proteins that aid in muscle growth Androgenic: The enhancement of male traits such as jaw widening, facial hair, deeper voice, etc. Testosterone is an anabolic steroid hormone produced in your body and your body’s capability of producing this hormone can be influenced with the use of a variety of supplementation regimes. There are many supplements on the market and most of these supplements are being abused to enhance testosterone. Supplements can be a great way to enhance performance and aid the building of muscle mass, and it is important to understand both the benefits and risks associated to each ingredient in these supplements. There are several active ingredients that can assist with natural testosterone production without any wanted side effects. GMT labs provides a new approach to scientifically formulated products with the focus being on quality raw ingredients with beneficial synergistic properties that allows one to improve their lifestyle without compensating for their future health and well-being. “Steroids that enhance performance and aid muscle building are typically synthetic modifications of testosterone. There are various risks linked to taking steroids, and in the UK using and taking steroids is illegal, as a Class C drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. The use of steroids is also prohibited in most sports.”

5. SELECTIVE ANDROGEN RECEPTOR MODULATORS (SARMS) Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator (SARMs) are a novel class of cutting-edge performance enhancing supplements which exhibit similar effects to androgenic drugs but are much more selective in their actions and have minimised side effects. They work by binding to your androgen receptors, through targeted tissue selection. SARMs represent a step towards safer class of androgenic supplements and their usage extends beyond muscle building and fat loss and well into the medical space as the medical applications are limitless. SARMS were in fact created by accident. In the early Nineties a Professor James T Dalton was working on cutting edge treatments for Prostate cancer. When he stumbled across molecule andarine (The first SARM) , although molecule anadarine was not very effective with regards to treating prostate cancer, it showed remarkable effects on enhancing muscle growth. SARMS development has come a long way since then and these days there are SARMS for all sorts of physical enhancements. The most notable use is in the Body Building world where incredible gains in physical strength and muscle are achieved as well as the promotion of lean muscle and fat loss. In the medical space, there are countless peer reviewed studies that show the medical applications of SARMS in conditions that result in muscle loss, Chemotherapy recovery and weight management to name but a few. In short, SARMS are the cutting edge of medical innovation.

6. WHAT’S IN OUR YK-11 ADVANTAGE STACK? BRANCHED-CHAIN AMINO ACIDS (BCAA) [2:1:1 LEUCINE:VALINE:ISOLEUCINE] BCAA’s include three essential amino acids (Valine, Leucine Isoleucine) that are incredible components to support your exercise regime. They work to reduce fatigue, muscle damage and inflammation/pain as well as promote muscle building and recovery during/after exercising. Additionally, BCAA’s get converted into glutamine in muscles, which fuels immune cells. MEDIUM CHAIN TRIGLYCERIDES (CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC ACID; 60:40) POWDER These are very easily digested chains of fats (triglycerides) that are commonly found in popular oils such as coconut oil. MCT oil is commonly used as a powerful energy source in ketogenic diets, or for breaking a fast. Studies show that they promote weight-loss, reduce lactic acid build-up from exercise, provide an efficient source of energy to your brain and muscles, reduce risk factors for heart disease, as well as assist in managing blood sugar levels. MCT oil is also an incredible binding agent for fat-soluble pharmacological compounds whereby it increases their bioavailable and improves absorption across your gut membrane. MAGNESIUM CITRATE Magnesium is an incredible mineral found in the earth, sea, plants and animals, and is involved in hundreds of biochemical reactions in your body. It acts as an enzymatic cofactor and is involved in over 600 reactions essential for creating energy, protein formation, Nucleic acid reparation and production, muscle contractions/movements, CNS regulation. Magnesium assists with exercise and recovery in a multitude of ways, whereby it is not only good for improving endurance, but also helps prevent muscle cramps and aches. POMEGRANATE PEEL EXTRACT Pomegranates are incredible fruits packed with essential vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants, with a broad range of benefits from promoting skin health and anti-aging, to increasing immunity and protecting your heart. Pomegranate peel powder has proven to arrest hair loss, improve cholesterol, reduce oxidative stress, lower blood pressure, increase bone density and health as well as reduce gut-inflammation. They are also rich in nitrates, which contribute to vasodilation, further assisting in exercise by promoting blood flow and increasing your “pump” ZINC CITRATE Zinc is known for its incredible immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects, but it also plays a large role in maintaining sufficient testosterone levels, improving sex drive, increasing muscle and bone strength, assisting in metabolic functions, DNA and protein production as well as cell division. NIACIN (VITAMIN B3) Like all other B Vitamins, Niacin forms an integral part of energy production through the conversion of various carbohydrates into glucose. Additionally, it is recommended to supplement with if you are predisposed to heart conditions or bad cholesterol, since it reverses the hardening of arteries in the heart. Overall vitamin B3 plays a role in aiding digestion, mental health, heart health, CNS, skin balance, hormone production and is a precursor for NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide), an essential coenzyme present in all cells for its vital role in energy production. Overall, Vitamin B3 is essential for energy and cell function, enhanced strength and endurance as well as improved blood flow. PYRIDOXINE (VITAMIN B6) Pyridoxine is a significant B vitamin that plays an integral protein, fat and carbohydrate metabolism, as well as the creation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. It plays an important role in maintaining your mood, promoting brain health, ensuring adequate oxygen levels throughout your body and improving blood flow.

7. YK-11 STACK YK-11 is a super-SARM synthetically based on 5-α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone naturally found in the human body. DHT is a stronger and more active form of testosterone which increases muscle mass, stimulates fat loss, improves libido, hardens muscles, and enhances bone health, with minimal side effects. Recent studies show that YK-11 increases Follistatin levels, which is a naturally occurring protein that suppresses/inhibits Myostatin (muscle growth inhibitor), thereby enabling muscle growth. It also activates PKB (Protein Kinase B) in cells, which directly activates bone growth and improves bone health and density. ASHWAGANDHA is a highly versatile and effective ancient medicinal herb with multiple benefits. It helps with mental fatigue and disorders, boosts brain function boosts fertility and testosterone levels in men. It also directly and indirectly benefits you during exercise by increasing red blood cell counts and enhancing your aerobic capacity. It may also help in speeding up muscle growth and recovery through indirect means MILK THISTLE is an incredible plant which has multiple benefits but is most known for its powerful effects in improving/supporting liver function. For people undergoing high intensity training, their livers get put under a lot of strain, which is why it is so important to support it with a supplement component such as milk thistle, which repairs your cell membranes.

8. DOSING & CYCLES: YK-11 YK11 is a powerful compound that is very capable of delivering impressive results at low doses. At a low dose of 5mg per day, one can expect nice muscle gains with a short cycle of 4 weeks, although an 8-week cycle would be ideal. Advanced users can increase the dose of YK11 to 10mg per day after initially dosing of 5mg per day for 5-7 days. It is not recommended to exceed 15mg per day because of the increased risk of side effects. YK-11 has a short half-life and ideally users should split their dose into two daily doses, to maintain an optimal level of this compound in the bloodstream but oral dosing once a day is acceptable. It is recommended to use a post cycle therapy (PCT) supplementation after the YK11 cycle to ensure that any possible testosterone suppression (depending on dosage and cycle length) can be counteracted. A minimum of 4 week-cycle is recommended and our 5a-Hydroxy-Laxogenin forte stack is perfect for this purpose. TO SUMMARISE: BEGINNER USERS: 5mg daily for 4-to-6-week cycle PCT 4-week 5a-Hydroxy-Laxogenin Forte cycle ADVANCED USERS: 5mg daily for 5-to-7 days 10mg for 3-to-6 weeks PCT 4-week 5a-Hydroxy-Laxogenin Forte cycle CONFIDENT USERS: 5mg daily for 5-to-7 days 10mg for 1 week 20mg for 2-to-5 weeks PCT 4-week 5a-Hydroxy-Laxogenin Forte
