A new study published by the journal Transitional Sports Medicine provides evidence that Gencor’s fenugreek extract, Testofen, increases strength, aerobic endurance, and lean body mass in healthy men who exercise.
Testofen is believed to support optimal levels of free testosterone, healthy sexual desire, and vitality, and a reduction of normal symptoms associated with andropause in men. Additionally, the study evaluated any effects that Testofen had on overall lean body mass, fat mass, upper and lower body muscular strength, and endurance in response to daily supplementation during an 8-week resistance training program.
“After years of research showing Testofen’s positive effects for men, we wanted to assess its efficacy on muscle strength and endurance,” R. V. Venkatesh, managing director at Gencor Pacific, said. “The results verified the powerful effects of Testofen and supported our initial hypothesis that participants would experience improvements in body composition, muscle performance, and endurance.”
The double-blind, randomized, dose-response clinical trial was conducted at RDC Global with 138 healthy, non-smoking male participants. The findings suggest that Testofen, at doses of 300 mg and 600 mg per day in conjunction with an effective exercise regimen, had positive effects in lower body strength.
Testofen at a dose of 600 mg also resulted in decreased body mass (-1.4%), body fat, an increase of lean mass(1.8%), and an increase in testosterone concentration from baseline after 8 weeks.
“These significant and positive results show that Testofen may be an effective ergogenic aid for those wanting to rapidly improve their exercise performance and body composition above and beyond exercise training only,” Chase Shryoc, vice president of Gencor’s Sales and Business Development, said. “We are thrilled about the results of this study and look forward to incorporating Testofen into its next sports nutrition product.”
