Olympus Labs Str3ngth Unleashed – A Better Laxogenin

Str3ngth Unleashed from Olympus Labs is a revamped Laxogenin supplement with improved bioavailability thanks to PhytoFUSE.

Olympus Labs knows their stuff when it comes to creating the most potent and effective supplements around to increase your gains and turn you into a Demigod.

We’ve are loving their new pre workout, Conqu3r Unleashed (now rated our #2 best pre workout), and their all-day gains in a bottle, Tr1umph, both of which contain everything you’d need to take your training to a whole new level.

But let’s say you’ve plateaued and haven’t been seeing the results that you were seeing the past few months. Perhaps you’re a bit more of an aggressive user, and there’s one last rock you can overturn that will unearth a new batch of strength, muscle, and power increases…

Str3ngth Unleashed will help you accomplish the unthinkable and avoid those strength plateaus that all your buddies at the gym seem to hit.

TL;DR on Str3ngth Unleashed

• Str3ngth Unleashed is a laxogenin supplement that solves the absorption problems of other capsule-based laxogenin products by using PhytoFUSE technology (lipid encapsulation)
• Laxogenin is a plant steroid that is reported to increase strength and help recovery from injury
• This is the upgraded version of their previous laxo capsule supplement, Str3ngth

We’ll reveal the label down below, but first, take a second to check the best deal and sign up for price drop alerts:

Str3ngth Unleashed’s Ingredient

Str3ngth Unleashed pairs Laxogenin with Phosphatidylcholine to improve absorption and bioavailability.

So what’s the secret to unlocking your anabolic potential? It’s one simple ingredient, but one that most companies do wrong: 5a-hydroxy Laxogenin, or just plain Laxogenin.

Laxogenin is classified as a sapogenin, a steroid component of saponins contained in the plant Smilax Sieboldii, a relative of the asparagus plant. Sapogenins belong to a class of plant-based steroids called brassinosteroids found in the leaves, seeds, and pollen of a number of plants.^[1]

In short, we’re looking at a plant steroid here – one that’s reported to safely increase strength and help with injury recovery – but only when done right.

Laxogenin frequently is compared to Anavar (oxandrolone) since the two have a similar anabolic/androgenic ratio^[2], but to be clear, Laxogenin is NOT the same thing as Anavar. Laxogenin is a plant-based steroid, whereas Anavar is a chemically-synthesized in a lab.

How Does It Work?

Gains upon gains will rain down from above when you’ve stockpiled this much Str3ngth Unleashed.

Anavar reduces Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) hormone levels in the body. Blunting SHBG production leads to greater amounts of free testosterone and increases nitrogen retention, both of which help fuel anabolism. Additionally, Anavar also binds to androgen receptors, which stimulates lipolysis, enhances thyroid function, and reduces thyroid-binding globulin.^[3]

Furthermore, studies have shown that Anavar improves muscular endurance by increasing red blood cell count.^[4]

However, let’s be completely honest here – Laxogenin is not Anavar, and it will not deliver anywhere near Anavar-like results. But it is potentially similar in its mechanisms, which makes it good for comparison in the ideal world.

Claimed Benefits of Laxogenin

So, maybe you weren’t interested in how it works, just the results that you’ll see from adding it to your supplement stack. Here’s the quick and dirty claims based on a new patent application (not from Olympus Labs, but another individual):

• Synergistic with other anabolic agents^[5,6]
• Functions as an adaptogen^[5,6]
• Reduces Pain^[5,6]
• Speeds Recovery from Injury^[5,6]
• Lowers LDL (bad) cholesterol^[5,6]

Drawbacks? Where things get Unleashed…

Str3ngth Unleashed is a go-to option when looking to increase lean mass, strength, and recovery when your “staples” just won’t cut it.

The only big knock against Laxogenin is that it’s not highly bioavailable in the body. Most products supplemented orally simply won’t have the impact that you’re expecting.

However, there’s a way around it: encapsulate it alongside a lipid that will prevent its premature breakdown before it gets to the intestines. degradation as it passes through the digestive tract. Beyond that, the real issue is absorption.

Introducing PhytoFUSE to the anabolic world!

All is not lost. Here is actually the biggest change in this product, compared to the previous version of STR3NGTH:

Olympus Labs employs their PhytoFUSE™ technology which pairs Laxogenin with Soy Phosphatidylcholine to enhance absorption and ensure it’s not degraded before it gets to your muscles. This is also going to have improved absorption over the original Str3ngth.

This is what made EP1C Unleashed a better epicatechin supplement, and now Olympus Labs is doing it to Laxogenin too. What will be next?

Bogus Laxogenin Supps?

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that some unscrupulous companies would try to pass of impostor Laxogenin supps as the real thing. To put you at ease, Olympus Labs has provided the third-party high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) testing results for Str3ngth Unleashed, which you can check out here. One such test can be found below:

Dosing

Str3ngth Unleashed uses new PhytoFUSE technology which increases absorption and effectiveness of Laxogenin to help build more muscle.

To help fuel your muscle-building goals in the gym, consume 2 capsules of Str3ngth Unleashed daily with meals.

This will provide you with 100mg total ingredients per day, but we’re not sure how much of that is Laxogenin and how much is the soy phosphatidylcholine. This is one thing that would be nice to be clarified by Olympus Labs.

Laxogenin is often used as part of a PCT (post cycle therapy) in order to maintain strength while off cycle. The dosing remains the same, however.

Takeaway

Gains are hard enough to come by even if you are doing everything right in the gym. Sometimes it can become so frustrating that you’re ready to throw in the towel. Before you eschew your lifting life for a life of slothing on the couch and watching Schwarzenegger flicks, make sure you’ve exhausted ALL the possibilities.

This is also one of the “last stop” considerations to boost strength before taking more aggressive (and often illegal) routes.

Str3ngth Unleashed by Olympus Labs gives you one last bullet in your arsenal to blast fat, build muscle, and make the gains you’ve only dreamed of become a reality.
