Nootropics Depot Unveils Turkesterone Test Insights

Nootropics Depot, an acclaimed manufacturer of dietary supplements, has made headlines with their recent podcast featuring IFBB pro bodybuilder Greg Doucette. The episode, titled The Turkesterone Scandal Just Got Deeper, takes a close look at the controversial 2022 turkesterone scandal that raised eyebrows across the bodybuilding supplement sector. Furthermore, it shares striking lab test results which reveal the current state of turkesterone products available in the market today.

During the podcast, listeners will find out how High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) analysis exposes significant differences among commercially available turkesterone products. The results illustrated stark contrasts between genuine Ajuga turkestanica reference materials—such as Nootropics Depot's TurkMax and TurkBuilder—and several competing products, which were found to contain Cyanotis arachnoidea rather than authentic Ajuga turkestanica. Such findings underscore the contrasting quality of products on the market, which impacts consumers directly.

Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC) analysis also featured prominently during the discussion, providing insight into the content disparities among three turkesterone products. The testing indicated that Nootropics Depot's β-ecdysterone exhibited high purity, while HTLT’s Turk Builder contained a mix of both turkesterone and β-ecdysterone. In sharp contrast, a competitor’s product revealed minimal peaks, suggesting significantly lower turkesterone concentrations compared to their claims.

Greg Doucette candidly reflected on HTLT’s initial turkesterone testing failures, caused by errors at a third-party lab and how the company responded to this situation to rectify it. The podcast explored the importance of maintaining high standards within the supplement sector, particularly as many products claiming to be Ajuga turkestanica do not align with that plant's profile. Most testing results appear to indicate a closer alignment to Cyanotis arachnoidea, a common source of β-ecdysterone.

Additionally, the podcast elaborated on the quality discrepancies between sources of turkesterone from China versus Uzbekistan, emphasizing that numerous commercial products may contain little to no actual turkesterone content. HTLT’s genuine sourcing of Ajuga turkestanica from Uzbekistan and their partnerships with Nootropics Depot to validate lab testing methods were highlighted as significant steps forward for quality assurance in the industry.

The discussions extended to the necessity of both turkesterone as a quality control marker and the significance of standardizing Ajuga turkestanica. A clear message throughout this episode urged for increased integrity and transparency within the supplement industry, stressing the need for brands to take lab testing and quality control to heart to restore consumer confidence.

Paul Eftang, the CEO of Nootropics Depot, noted the grave inadequacies of lab testing and quality control within the supplement domain and called upon brands to assure that their products are indeed what they claim to be. He stated, “Seeing failing result after failing result further emphasizes why our mission is integral. Consumers deserve to trust the products they ingest, and those selling them must ensure stringent quality measures.”

The podcast also brought forth HTLT’s intentions for an expedition to Uzbekistan, a move aimed at assessing Ajuga turkestanica reserves and seeking sustainable cultivation practices for the future. This reflects a growing awareness and commitment towards responsible sourcing and conservation efforts in the supplement industry.

Finally, Doucette expressed pride in having made sufficient progress in appropriately sourcing turkesterone, reinforcing this podcast’s role as a critical educational resource for consumers and a tool for instigating accountability within the supplement field.
