Delta-2: AndroGenetX has introduced a state of the art alternative to DHEA and other legal prohormones. We are proud to introduce Delta-2 (D-2). D-2 is in a category of its own, it is both a Natural Anabolic Substance (NAS) and a metabolite of DHEA. D-2 is found naturally as a pheromone in commonly eaten animal meats and is also a natural metabolite of DHEA.(1,2,3,4) D-2’s chemical structure is representative of a compound with the benefits of a prohormone. D-2 provides these benefits without common negative side effects such as liver toxicity, androgenic side effects, or estrogen and Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) conversion.
Delta-2’s structural research displays increased nitrogen retention, skeletal muscle, bone density, and protein synthesis to a greater extent than the naturally occurring male hormone, testosterone.(5) D-2 produces these health benefits over testosterone while having less androgenic affects.(5) Delta-2 is extremely unique because it produces the benefits listed above without being structurally related to testosterone.
Delta-2 consists of the naturally occurring pheromone/DHEA metabolite Delta-2-Androst-17-one (963-75-7). This compound is accompanied by Naringin Flavonoids for their strong anti-oxidant properties and to promote maximum intestinal absorption of Delta-2.
Purity
Our Delta-2 prohormone supplement is formulated with the highest quality pharmaceutical grade Delta-2-androst-17-one, CAS: 963-75-7 AKA 5a-androst-2-ene-17-one , Delta-2-androstenone, or 2-androstenone. ANDROGENETX’s Delta-2 prohormone supplement has been verified for purity by two separate, unaffiliated laboratories. This compound has been verified to be 99.20% pure via Infrared Spectroscopy, Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectroscopy, and Melting point. Testing was conducted according to the FDA cGMP for Dietary Supplements Final Rule.
The gastro intestinal absorption of Delta-2 is promoted by the addition of Naringin Flavanoids which also conform to all cGMP standards. The Naringin Flavonoids have been produced through a 10:1 Ethanol and Water extraction of Grapefruit Seeds. These high quality ingredients are micronized prior to blending to ensure maximum absorption once ingested.
FAQ’s:
Q: Is Delta-2 a steroid?
A: Delta-2 is steroidal in nature but is not an anabolic androgenic steroid because it is not structurally related to Testosterone. Steroids such as phyto-steroids/sterols, pheromones, cholesterol, and corticosteroids are commonly used as food additives, cosmetics, nutritional supplements, and OTC medications. Although steroids have been demonized by the media, scientifically speaking there are many useful and healthful types of steroids available to the public.
Q: How old do I have to be to use Delta-2?
A: Because Delta-2 is steroidal in nature and may interfere with the body’s natural production of hormones, just as any other steroidal supplement or food with high concentrations of phyto-steroids (i.e. Soy products or DHEA); Delta-2 should not be used by any male under the age of 25, once full endocrine maturity has been reached.
Q: I am an athlete can I use Delta-2?
A: No! Delta-2 is not for use by anybody subject to performance enhancing drug tests. Although Delta-2 is not specifically banned by WADA, NCAA, or any major sports association, metabolites of Delta-2 are likely to cause false positive drug tests.
Q: How long should I take Delta-2 for?
A: Delta-2 should be taken for a minimum of 4 and maximum of 8 weeks (12 for experienced users) to see optimal results.
Q: Do I need Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) for Delta-2?
A: It is recommended to follow your 4-8 week cycle of Delta-2 with 4 weeks of AndroGenetX NatraSterone or any PCT product to help promote normal hormonal levels.
