EndoAxis Formula 6 Restore contains herbs and minerals to support 5a-reductase response.
- Restores androgenic balance in the body
- Supports 5a-reductase activity through reducing inflammation AND reducing enzyme activity
- Supports tissue response to androgens
Testosterone is a crucial hormone for skeletal muscle performance, brain health, bone matrix activity, sexual performance and responsiveness, and longevity support. 5a-DHT is the potent, 5a-reductase-dependent metabolite of testosterone, considered 4x per potent than testosterone itself (although also very short-lived in circulation).
Problems can arise when testosterone is metabolized more readily into 5a-DHT over the 5b-reductase pathway. Although both men and women can benefit from 5a-DHT, it needs to be in healthy balance and alignment with their metabolic needs.
5a-reductase is an enzyme that is upregulated specifically in response to high circulating sugars and insulin levels. Why? Consider when our ancestors would run away from a predator. To run, we would need quick-burning fuel – sugar. When in that fightor- flight stress response (sympathetic dominate state), epinephrine shunts blood to our muscles and lungs and away from our gut, along with epinephrine, our cortisol surges, which stimulates release and activation of sugar from our tissues into our blood stream, and body prepares to push into an anabolic preference. With high sugars the natural response then is to trigger 5areductase – so that our tissues can be anabolic in response. Unfortunately, our tissues do not know the difference between high circulating sugar due to a sympathetic surge, vs high sugar due to stress or high sugars simply from a poor diet. Sugar surge = 5areductase preference.
