Three ways to build naturally. Only one works on every lever, every day.
Here's how MUSCLEDROL® measures against the two things lifters usually buy instead — a single-adaptogen capsule, or a "natural anabolic" that turns out to be a designer pro-hormone.
- Subtle, slow, easy to give up on
- Assay and ratio rarely printed
- Three bottles to match one scoop
- Men and women, natural athletes
- Runs through Myodrol® rest periods
- Verified, HPLC & FTIR tested
- Shuts down natural production
- Needs cycling, PCT and blood work
- Prohibited in sport

One scoop. Seven angles of attack.
Click any point on the chart to see which ingredients handle that job — and the one-line mechanism behind each.
Every ingredient. One line each.
Sixteen adaptogens in a 5,000 mg formula, listed in label order. Red bars mark the protein-synthesis and testosterone-pathway drivers; navy marks partitioning, endurance, recovery and immune support.
Rhaponticum carthamoides
Maral root, the primary source of 20-hydroxyecdysone — a plant steroid that raises muscle protein synthesis through oestrogen-receptor-beta signalling, with no androgenic activity.
Maca root
Macamides modulate the endocannabinoid system for stress tolerance, mood and libido.
Cnidium monnieri
Osthole supports osteoblast activity and nitric-oxide signalling.
Epimedium (horny goat weed)
Icariin supports testosterone-related signalling and blood flow.
Bulgarian Tribulus terrestris
Protodioscin-rich Bulgarian chemotype supports luteinising-hormone signalling and drive.
Malaysian Eurycoma longifolia (tongkat ali)
Eurypeptides lower SHBG binding and cortisol, supporting free testosterone and stress resilience.
Alpha-GPC
Choline source that raises acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction; linked to higher peak force and power output.
Terminalia arjuna
Arjunolic acid supports cardiac output, endurance and glucose handling.
Trichopus zeylanicus
"Arogyapacha" — the Kani tribal adaptogen studied for anti-fatigue and stamina effects.
Vitex agnus-castus
Dopaminergic support keeps prolactin in check — the hormone that blunts testosterone and libido.
Schisandra berry
Lignans blunt cortisol, support liver function and raise work capacity.
Tart cherry
Anthocyanins reduce soreness and inflammation; natural melatonin supports the sleep in which growth happens.
Prickly pear (Opuntia)
Betalains and fibre improve post-meal glucose handling and add antioxidant capacity.
Ajuga turkestanica
Second ecdysteroid source — turkesterone and 20-hydroxyecdysone — for anabolic signalling without hormones.
α-Hydroxyisocaproic acid (HICA)
Leucine metabolite that reduces muscle breakdown and soreness, particularly in hard training blocks.
Curcumin extract
Activates cellular antioxidant defence, moderates the HPA axis and cortisol, and supports insulin sensitivity.

Reading the label
- Two ecdysteroid sources. Rhaponticum (20-hydroxyecdysone) and Ajuga (turkesterone) are the anabolic core — plant steroids that raise protein synthesis without touching the androgen receptor.
- Five levers, sixteen herbs. Protein synthesis (ecdysteroids, HICA), testosterone pathways (tongkat, tribulus, epimedium, vitex), partitioning (arjuna, prickly pear, curcumin), power and endurance (Alpha-GPC, schisandra, trichopus, maca), recovery (tart cherry, curcumin).
- Twice a day keeps the ecdysteroids and adaptogens in circulation — they have short half-lives. Morning and pre-workout or evening.
- Non-hormonal, so no cycling. Nothing suppresses your own production, which is why the label positions it for year-round use and why it runs through the Myodrol® rest period.
- No stimulants, no yohimbe. Suitable for men and women; the evening dose won't disturb sleep.
- "Seek advice from a pharmacist or physician" is on the label — a sixteen-botanical formula deserves a conversation if you take any medication.
Making muscle hyper-responsive, one lever at a time.
Ecdysteroids and HICA raise protein synthesis and slow breakdown; Alpha-GPC lifts power output. Training feels sharper, soreness drops.
Arjuna, prickly pear and curcumin improve insulin sensitivity, so carbohydrate and protein go into muscle rather than fat. Pumps and fullness improve at the same body weight.
Tongkat ali, tribulus and vitex show as drive, recovery and morning energy while schisandra keeps cortisol down. Lean mass and definition move together.
Non-hormonal, so there's nothing to cycle off. Run it through every block — and through the 60-day rest after a Myodrol® cycle to hold the gains.
Eight reasons MUSCLEDROL® is the natural builder of record.
Five levers at once
Protein synthesis, testosterone pathways, partitioning, power and endurance, recovery — no single herb does more than one.
Two ecdysteroid sources
Rhaponticum and Ajuga together — 20-hydroxyecdysone and turkesterone — for anabolic signalling without hormones.
365 days, no cycling
Nothing suppresses your own production, so there's no off-period, no PCT and no receptor downgrade.
Nutrient partitioning built in
Arjuna, prickly pear and curcumin push what you eat into muscle — the lever most muscle-builders ignore.
Power on the day
Alpha-GPC raises neural drive and peak force; schisandra and trichopus extend the session.
Men and women
Non-hormonal, stimulant-free, no yohimbe — the same formula works for both.
The bridge in every Myogenetix® plan
Holds gains through Myodrol® rest periods and stacks with whey, creatine and Pumpdrol®.
Made in USA, verified in India
FDA-inspected, GMP-certified, HPLC and FTIR tested. Every jar carries a verification code.
MUSCLEDROL® protocol calculator
One scoop or two, when to time them, how it fits around Myodrol® and Ecdygrow®, and what to expect by week — always within the label's twice-daily direction.
Natural building has become the serious option.
Ecdysteroids arrive
Trial data on 20-hydroxyecdysone and the WADA monitoring listing turned plant ecdysteroids from curiosity to the most-discussed natural anabolic.
Fit: two sources — rhaponticum and ajuga.
Insulin sensitivity as a muscle lever
Partitioning — where the calories go — is now understood as the difference between bulking and getting fat.
Fit: arjuna, prickly pear, curcumin.
Tongkat ali mainstream
Eurycoma moved from folk remedy to trial-backed ingredient for free testosterone and cortisol.
Fit: Malaysian source in every scoop.
Alpha-GPC for power
Once a nootropic, now a strength-sport staple for peak force and neural drive.
Fit: Alpha-GPC in the formula.
Cortisol is the villain
Chronic stress is recognised as the biggest silent brake on natural muscle gain.
Fit: schisandra, tongkat, curcumin.
Year-round over cycled
Natural athletes want something they can take every day without an off-period or blood-work anxiety.
Fit: non-hormonal, no cycling.
Every question we've been asked about MUSCLEDROL®.
What exactly is MUSCLEDROL®?
A sixteen-adaptogen muscle-building formula — plant ecdysteroids, tongkat ali, tribulus, Alpha-GPC, arjuna, schisandra and more — in a 5 g scoop taken twice a day, year-round.
How does it work?
Five levers: ecdysteroids and HICA raise protein synthesis and slow breakdown; tongkat, tribulus, epimedium and vitex support your own testosterone pathways; arjuna, prickly pear and curcumin push nutrients into muscle; Alpha-GPC, schisandra and trichopus lift power and endurance; tart cherry and curcumin speed recovery.
Is it a hormone or steroid?
No. Ecdysteroids are plant compounds that act through a different receptor from testosterone and don't suppress your own production. There's no cycling and no PCT.
Does it raise testosterone?
It's positioned to support your own testosterone-related pathways — free testosterone via tongkat ali, LH signalling via tribulus, prolactin control via vitex — rather than adding any hormone. Sleep, body fat and stress remain the bigger levers.
Does it block oestrogen?
It supports healthy oestrogen balance through vitex and the ecdysteroids' receptor selectivity; it is not an aromatase inhibitor and doesn't crash oestrogen, which would hurt joints, mood and lipids.
How do I take it?
One scoop in 240–350 ml water twice a day — morning and pre-workout on training days, morning and evening on rest days. The label direction is twice daily; don't exceed it.
Rest days?
Yes — the adaptogens and partitioning botanicals work every day, and the ecdysteroids have short half-lives.
How soon will I notice something?
Power, pumps and reduced soreness within one to two weeks; body-composition and drive changes over six to twelve. Judge it at week eight, not week one.
Do I need to cycle it?
No. It's non-hormonal; the label positions it for 365-day use. Some athletes take a two-week break every few months out of habit — optional.
Can I take it with Myodrol®?
Yes — MUSCLEDROL® runs alongside a Myodrol® cycle and, more importantly, through the 60-day rest period after it to hold what you built.
Can I take it with Ecdygrow®?
Both contain ecdysteroids from the same plants. Either use one at a time or halve each — there's no benefit to doubling the ecdysteroid dose.
Can I stack it with whey, creatine and Pumpdrol®?
Yes — no overlap. That's the standard Myogenetix® natural stack.
Will it help me lose fat?
The partitioning botanicals help calories go to muscle rather than fat, and more muscle raises metabolic rate. It supports a recomposition; it doesn't replace a deficit. Use Liposhed® for direct fat loss.
Is it suitable for women?
Yes. Non-hormonal, no yohimbe, no stimulants; ecdysteroids have no masculinising effect. Not during pregnancy or nursing.
Does it contain caffeine or stimulants?
No. The evening dose won't affect sleep.
Is it banned in sport?
Ecdysterone is on WADA's monitoring list, not the prohibited list, and the formula contains no hormones or stimulants. Tested athletes should check their federation's current list and keep the batch and verification record.
Any side effects?
Uncommon. Mild digestive upset if taken without water; tribulus and epimedium can raise libido noticeably. Stop and consult a doctor if anything unusual occurs.
Can I take it with medication?
Only with a pharmacist's or physician's advice, as the label states — sixteen botanicals can interact with blood-pressure, thyroid, diabetes and psychiatric medication.
Should teenagers use it?
No. Adults 18+ only.
Is it vegetarian?
Yes — plant extracts, Alpha-GPC and a leucine metabolite. No animal ingredients.
How long does a jar last?
60 scoops: one month at the label's two a day.
What about MUSCLEDROL® Platinum?
Platinum uses higher-assay raw materials for athletes who've already responded well to standard MUSCLEDROL®. Start here; move to Platinum after a jar or two if you want more.
Where is it made?
Manufactured in San Diego, California, at an FDA-inspected, GMP-certified facility, and marketed in India by Hybrid Laboratories (India) Private Limited.
How do I verify my jar?
Enter the code at myogenetix.in/verify before first use.
How should I store it?
Cool, dry, lid tight, away from heat. Keep out of reach of children.
Build naturally. Every day. All year.
Sixty scoops of the sixteen-adaptogen formula that makes muscle hyper-responsive — without a hormone in sight.
