Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long will it take to feel the positive benefits of DRIVE?
A:
You will feel the many benefits of DRIVE within 1 day of taking the first dose.
Many users report increased strength and energy, increased stamina and
endurance, as well as a boost in libido, within the first 24-48 hours of taking
the product. Those taking DRIVE should expect to see marked gains in lean body
mass and lowered body fat within 10 days of beginning the product, as well as
constant fullness and noticeable increase in muscle density and vascularity.
These effects continue to increase the longer DRIVE is used. When stacked with
RPM™, numerous testers of DRIVE have reported setting personal records (PRs) on
all major exercises within the first week of starting the stack. Users of the
DRIVE/RPM stack report intense focus, heightened aggression towards training and
an overall “hardening” effect, along with strong vasodilation and intense pumps.
Q: How is DRIVE different from other testosterone boosters and NO-type
products?
A:
DRIVE resides in a league of its own: It is a product that has been clinically
proven to increase lean body mass, libido, strength, endurance and burn body
fat, yet it is non-hormonal. The special aggregate mixture of the constituents
in DRIVE yield results that no other test booster or NO product on the market
can touch!
DRIVE contains StAR 3,5
Anaplex™; a unique blend of pharmaceutical-grade icariin (50%
extract vs. other brands’ 3-5% extracts) and forskolin (specially standardized
to the highest potency available). The aformentioned blend is then combined with
the A4E2 Endurance Complex™, an innovative blend of
compounds that allows for energetic, non-stimulant ATP enhancement, heightened
stamina, as well as an increased anabolic state.

Q:
When should I take DRIVE?
A:
Take the first dose of DRIVE upon waking in the morning, and then take the
second dose approximately one hour before your workout, or mid-afternoon. If you
train in the evening, do not take within 3 hours of bedtime. If so, reduce your
dosage by one capsule.
Q: Has there been any scientific research on the product constituents of DRIVE?
A:
Absolutely. All of the components in DRIVE all have numerous clinical studies
proving their efficacy, with documented properties including anabolic
enhancement, anti-catabolism, increased thyroid activity, weight loss and PDE5
inhibition (the biochemical mechanism of Viagra®). All the product
constituents of DRIVE have been studied extensively, and only the doses and
standardizations used in research studies are used in the product.
Q: Is it safe to use DRIVE for long periods of time, or should I cycle it?
A:
All research studies along with our own testing have indicated that it can be
used continuously without any negative side effects. You will never want to go
without DRIVE again - ask our product testers! However as with any product there
is some degree of tolerance that can develop after extended use. If you
experience this, we recommend cycling 8 weeks on / 4 weeks off.
Q: What supplements should I take along with DRIVE, and are there any
supplements I should avoid?
A: We recommend whey protein supplementation, with a goal of attaining 1-1.5
grams of protein per day per lb. of bodyweight. Additionally we encourage the
use of an EFA supplement with a proper ratio of omega 3/6/9, and a good
multivitamin / multimineral. RPM stacks phenomenally well with DRIVE, and the
two products can be considered THE most effective non-hormonal stack for sports
performance/physique enhancement on the market today.
Q:
Who can benefit from DRIVE?
A:
Any man or woman over 18 years of age who is seeking to gain lean mass, and who
wants to look and feel their best!!! The product is also a great contest-prep
supplement; giving the user tighter skin, less water retention, harder muscle
contractions and bulging pumps, even when living on limited carbs! Also, anyone
looking to gain a competitive edge in athletics can benefit significantly from
using DRIVE, from the strength and speed increases and the heightened
concentration and focus;
plus it is NCAA, NPC, IFBB, NFL,
NBA, MLB and IOC compliant.
Q: Who should not take DRIVE?
A:
Anyone sensitive to stimulants, under the age of 18, those who take MAOI’s or
are on any other type of prescription medications, and if you are pregnant or
nursing. Always check with your doctor before beginning any supplementation
regimen.
DRIVE is a truly one-of-a-kind product and
contains only the highest quality clinically proven doses for maximum
effectiveness. The StAR Anaplex™ in DRIVE contains
forskolin (7 beta-acetoxy-8, 13-epoxy-1 alpha,6 beta, 9
alpha-trihydroxy-labd-14-ene-11-one) and icariin
(4H-1Benzopyran-4-one,
3-{(6-deoxy-a-L-mannopyranosyl)oxy}-7-(B-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-5-hydroxy-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-8-(3-methy-2-butenyl).
These two potent phytochemical (plant-derived)
compounds have some SERM-like (selective estrogen receptor modulator) and also
demonstrate SARM-like (selective androgen receptor modulating) properties,
providing pronounced benefits on muscle mass, strength, bone, physical DRIVE and
sexual function. Published research on icariin and forskolin support these
hypotheses, however some experts are still divided as to the ability of these
compounds to exert their effects on androgen and estrogen receptor modulation
and tissue-specificity. Several studies further exploring these activities are
currently underway that are sure to shed additional light on the many useful
properties of these compounds.

Forskolin
Forskolin has been the subject of large amounts
of research in the health and wellness field since the early 1980s. Scientific
studies have found that along with increasing thyroid activity and thermogenesis,
forskolin is also a potent anabolic. This occurs primarily through elevation of
3,5 cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP); a second messenger
important in hormone signaling. cAMP elevation is a crucial piece of the puzzle
in creating an anabolic and thermogenic state, and forskolin is one of the best
compounds available for triggering dramatic increases in cAMP levels. One study
(Bristow et al, 1984) showed that forskolin was able to increase cAMP levels
4.82 times more than a placebo. Another study (Litosch, 1982) demonstrates that
forskolin can raise cAMP levels in fat cells. This is important because it
demonstrates the ability of the compound to enhance lipolysis; meaning that
forskolin exerts powerful fat-burning effects as well as being a potent anabolic
agent; plus forskolin can also enhance endurance capacity as well. Another
added bonus of forskolin is that it increases cAMP independently of epinephrine,
thus providing increased energy without the need to take any type of traditional
stimulant.
HPTA and Testosterone

So how does cAMP increase anabolism? cAMP is
classified as a second messenger, meaning that it exerts its effects by acting
in a manner secondary and in response to a first
messenger signaling molecule. When a first messenger signaling molecule binds to
a cell surface, another secondary (hence “second” messenger) pathway is
activated that increases cAMP production. Increased cAMP production is
responsible for the activation of protein kinase A, which is an enzyme that has
positive effects androgen receptor binding even in the absence of
other androgens. cAMP also is a signal for steroidogenesis
(testosterone production) in the Leydig cells of the testes, by increasing
levels of steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR).
Increased StAR production is noteworthy, because it is a Leydig cell
cholesterol transfer protein and provides the building blocks for testosterone
synthesis.
StAR activation is necessary for the
stimulation of steroidogenic enzymes involved in the transfer of cholesterol to
testosterone. By increasing the intermediary between these two processes, a
resulting positive shift in anabolism can occur. Therefore, high cAMP levels
also equate to high levels of luteinizing hormone (the hormone responsible for
mediating endogenous spermatogenesis), and when cAMP levels are elevated (DRIVE
causes a marked elevation of cAMP), it serves as an intermediate in the
signaling cascade that ranges from luteinizing hormone (LH) binding to
testosterone production. By increasing the intermediate between these two
processes, a resulting increase in anabolism and protein synthesis can occur.
Numerous other studies have shown parallels between increased cAMP levels and
increased anabolism, and a ground-breaking 2005 study in The Journal of
Obesity Research found that obese men taking 250 mg of 10% forskolin a day
for 12 weeks (roughly the dosage included in the daily dosage of DRIVE)
experienced an averaged 33% increase in free testosterone levels, averaged a 10
lbs. fat loss per person and increased lean mass an average of 8 lbs! A 2001
study by Badmaev (see chart below) also yielded similar results.
Forskolin-Induced Lean Body Mass Gains
(Badmaev et al. 2001)

These findings are extremely promising for
another important reason: When an athlete uses anabolics for any length of
time, impairment of the hypothalamo-pituitary gonadal axis (HPTA
- the entity responsible for endogenous testosterone production) tends to
occur. This is noteworthy because when HPTA shutdown occurs, it temporarily the
diminishes the subject’s ability to synthesize testosterone. A large part of
HPTA shutdown is due to decreased cAMP and LH levels, and forskolin increases
both of these. By upping cAMP and LH post-cycle, it allows the body to resume
testosterone production safely, potentially even beyond pre-cycle baseline
levels. A 1997 study in the The Journal of Urology found that forskolin can
also aid in erectile dysfunction. It is also notable to mention that forskolin
also has measureable effects on the androgen receptor, and may
exert some positive anabolic effects through this channel as well.
ICARIIN

Icariin is a potent phytochemical that has been
documented to have profound effects on anabolism. Icariin exerts its efficacy
through several different mechanisms of action: Via competition with
glucocorticoids and increasing cAMP levels, by modulating estrogen receptor
antagonism and by decreasing prolactin levels. Several studies have shown that
icariin competes with glucocorticoids for various receptor sites, and thus
improves the testosterone/cortisol ratio. A 2006 study by Pan et al. showed that
icariin blocks glucocorticoids from binding to cortisol receptors, hence
antagonizing the actions of cortisol. This alone creates an anabolic effect by
positively skewing the testosterone/ cortisol ratio which is a trigger for
greater anabolism, protein synthesis, increased aggression, and intensified
muscle contractions. A 2006 study by Zhang found that icariin also has a
testosterone mimetic effect on muscle tissue while increasing spermatogenesis
however there is some disagreement among scientists on the mechanism by which
icariin does this. A 2005 study conducted by Pan et al. concluded that icariin
also has marked anti-depressant qualities through pituitary mediation, but the
exact mechanism of action for this finding is also unknown.
Users of DRIVE report huge improvements in
strength, physique hardness, sex drive and positive aggression while using this
compound, an effect that can be at least partially attributed to the
anabolic-mimicking qualities of icariin. DRIVE promotes higher dopamine levels
and decreased prolactin levels, both of which are triggers for increased
endogenous anabolism. Icariin can also enhance muscle contraction by decreasing
the effects of acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Acetylcholine (Ach) is a
neurotransmitter necessary for muscle contraction, and AChE is responsible for
disabling ACh at the neuromuscular junction. Icariin blocks this disabling
action, allowing for ACh to stay at the synapse and better exert its effects for
a longer period of time- thus allowing for harder and stronger muscle
contractions.

Action Potential/Muscle
Contraction
Icariin is a selective inhibitor of
cyclic guanitric oxidesine monitric oxidephosphate (cGMP) -
specifically phosphodiasterase type 5 (PDE5). This is a
notable characteristic, because PDE5 hydrolyzes cGMP into an inactive molecule.
cGMP is important because nitric oxide requires cGMP to moderate vascular
control and vasodilation. So essentially, no cGMP; no vasodilation
(the “PUMP”), because nitric oxide requires cGMP to work. Conversely, the more
cGMP; the more nitric oxide-induced vasodilation - therefore the greater the
pumps. Icariin stops PDE5 from disabling cGMP and allows cGMP to
extend its activity which increases the effects of nitric oxide in skeletal
muscle and allows for a stronger muscle contraction and pump. This is the same
way a popular pharmaceutical product – Viagra® – works; which is essentially the
most well-known PDE5 inhibitor on the market.
Long-term usage of PDE5 inhibitors (more than 1
month of usage) has been shown to increase the testosterone/estrogen ratio, as
evidenced by a 2006 study in The Journal of Sexual Medicine. This is
very noteworthy for two reasons: It shows that PDE5 inhibitors have more than
just an acute effect, and that they have anabolic tendencies as well. Pure
icariin has been found to have roughly one-tenth the PDE5 inhibitory activity
and nitric oxide productivity of Viagra®, and the dosage provided in DRIVE is
tailored appropriately to provide similar effects. In short, the PDE5
inhibition displayed by icariin puts DRIVE in a class above all other nitric
oxide enhancers- as “pharmaceutical-strength” results are commonly experienced.
Naringin (or
Naringenin-7-beta-neohesperidoside), and its
novel component Naringenin, also contribute profound effects of
DRIVE. Naringin (and Naringenin) exhibit remarkable anti-aromatase and estrogen-inhibiting
properties by decreasing the cytochrome P450arom isoform. The P450 enzyme also
allows for the oxidative metabolism for chemical modification and degradation of
oral medications. Therefore, the addition of naringin in DRIVE allows for
higher blood levels of the active ingredients to remain in the system of the
user, making for a more effective product. Naringin and naringenin have been
shown to slow the metabolism of caffeine and PDE5 inhibitors such as icariin,
allowing for these compounds to be much more effective on a per dose basis - by
up to 35%!!!
Naringin

Naringin also has very positive effects on the testosterone/estrogen
ratio because Naringenin has significant estrogen reduction properties. By
improving the testosterone/estrogen ratio, users will experience significant
hardening effects on their physique. Increased insulin sensitivity is also a
notable quality of naringin. Users benefit from this because by limiting insulin
response, blood glucose levels remain more stable, sugar is less likely to be
stored as fat, and excess insulin can blunt the effects of increased cAMP
levels.
Cordyceps
Cordyceps Sinesis
is another essential component of DRIVE. Cordyceps is a mushroom that grows on
caterpillar larvae (but now re-created under laboratory conditions), and has
been traditionally used to improve reproductive function, prevent fatigue and
slow the effects of aging. It also helps you adapt to stress, and may be
instrumental in increasing endurance, increasing anabolism and protein synthesis
and improving general health. Cordyceps contains several notable actives,
including some unique polysaccharides, proteins, fatty acids, flavones,
2'-deoxyadenosine, and cordycepin. Of main relevance to this product is the
ability of cordyceps to do several things:
- Decrease fatigue and increase physical
endurance: Cordyceps has an adaptogenic effect that helps the body adjust to
stress. Cordyceps has been shown to increase physical endurance and decrease
fatigue. In double blind trials with humans, cordyceps significantly
increased maximum oxygen intake during interval cycling, and was shown to
decrease basal glucose, lactic acid, and respiratory exchange ratio during
prolonged exercise. In a 2003 study, the swimming endurance capacity of mice
given cordyceps was significantly prolonged from 75 to 90 min with a lessening
of fatigue. Weight changes of the adrenal gland, spleen, thymus, and thyroid,
which are indices of stress, were suppressed in the cordyceps group which
indicates that cordyceps possesses a strong anti-catabolic quality. This is
important because high cortisol levels can disrupt anabolism, and lessen
training efficacy.
- Elevate cAMP and ATP levels- this is very
relevant to DRIVE, because it allows for even more intermediates for
testosterone production. A 2005 study in the International Journal of
Biochemical Cellular Biology found that cordyceps was extremely effective
at stimulating steroidogenesis via elevation of cAMP and StAR (remember from
earlier) levels, and this has been replicated in roughly 10 different studies.
- Increase the testosterone/cortisol ratio and
increase testosterone levels and anabolism - this has been demonstrated in
multiple animal studies. Cordyceps contains polysaccharides that are very
similar to luteinizing hormone (LH) in structure, and it has been postulated
that these polysaccharides mimic LH, stimulating increased testosterone
production and subsequent anabolism. A 2001 study The Journal of Life
Sciences furthered this hypothesis, and it was replicated in a 2003
study.
- Anti-oxidant and increased insulin
sensitivity have also been demonstrated effects of cordyceps. In a 2003 study
published in The Journal of Life Sciences, polysaccharides contained
in cordyceps have been shown to exibit a STRONG anti-oxidant effect,
protecting the body against oxidation and free-radical damage. Some of the
polysaccharides found in the mushroom have also been shown to drastically
lower blood sugar levels and fight against insulin insensitivity. Cordyceps
has also been shown to increase NO and serve as an erectile aid as well.
Dodder Seed Extract (or cuscuta
chineses) is another important component of DRIVE, as it also activates
the second messenger system, and subsequently allows greater amounts of cAMP to
be generated from ATP. In a 2000 study by Qin in the Asian Journal of
Andrology, dodder seed extract increased blood levels of testosterone and
luteinizing hormone, and enhanced the growth of testes, epididymis and the
pituitary gland which indicates an anabolic effect. In yet another study,
combinations of icariin and dodder seed together were shown to increase cyclic
AMP production, anabolism, and to also stimulate the growth of the testes,
epididymis, and seminal vesicle in animals. Human clinical trials showed
similar positive results. In one study, 50 patients with impotence were treated
with a combination of icariin and dodder seed for 50 days. 76% (38 patients)
experienced total recovery and 16% (8 patients) were improved for a total
effectiveness rate of 92%.
In conclusion, the carefully selected and
proportioned blend of constituents in DRIVE combine to create a truly
synergistic compound that exploits a variety of different biochemical mechanisms
of action to produce the most thoroughly researched, safe, effective and potent
anabolic available.
