Dermacrine Info thread

A

Ok...I didn't like the direction the other Dermacrine thread was going....I feel like there wasn't enough information about the actual product and too much bickering. So...since I was interested enough in the product to read through the other thread, I contacted Primordial Performance (on the phone) and asked for some information on the product. After that, I received an e-mail with product information, and I think it's important to share that info here, so people can get acquainted with the product and the new sponsor and learn about the product. Here's the information I received via e-mail from the manufacturer (*contains information about people who tried it as well as references and such concerning the ingredients...as well as the logic going into th product formulation):


On Dec. 21 a 44 year old non-steroid using man had his hormone levels analyzed via saliva.(test 1) His DHEA’s, testosterone and estrogens were all in the very low sub-physiological range. In this case, the man would not have benefited from simple AI treatment, due to the fact that his estrogen levels where already below normal range.

He began Dermacrine treatment the following day using 30-35 spray pumps everyday for 25 days.

While using Dermacrine his DHEA levels rose from 1.2 pg/ml -23 pg/ml. This was over a 2200% increase in DHEA levels. Free testosterone levels rose from 50pg/ml up to 137pg/ml. This was over a 150% increase in testosterone. Estrogens (E1,E2) increased to a negligible degree, and stayed within normal range.(test 1)

After Dermacrine treatment stopped on the 15th of January we tested his levels again on the 18st. His levels of DHEA and testosterone dropped below baseline, showing a 3-4 day clearance of Dermacrine from the system. Less than 2 weeks later we tested his levels again to see if they returned.(test 2) His DHEA levels increased from 1000% and testosterone levels increased about 10% above baseline, showing a strong return of hormone levels, without further treatment. We hypothesize the future tests will show an even higher testosterone level.

What we can interpret from these results is that Dermacrine elicits a positive effect on the HTPA, leading to an up-regulation of hormone production. This effect has been noted before in other studies with topical DHEA. In the below study, the authors proposed that the topical treatment of DHEA initiated adrenarche, known as a surge in hormone levels in response to super-physiological DHEA levels similar to puberty. Interestingly, this effect is not a result of the DHEA converting to further hormones, but an indirect effect that DHEA has on the synthesis of cholesterol > hormones. In other words, DHEA enhances the production of itself.

Physiol Res, Jan 2000; 49(6): 685-93.

Additionally, we hypothesize that part of the benefits seen with Dermacrine are a result of the aromatase inhibitors included in the formula such as resveratrol, 7,8 benzoflavone and chrysin. The research shows that the ingredients in the Phyto-AI blend enhance fertility, by eliciting a positive response from the hypothalamus, pituitary, testicular axis (HPTA). Meaning, the Phyto-AI blend will increase lutienizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone release (FSH) release from the pituitary. As most of you know, these are the hormones sent from the brain that trigger testosterone production from the testis. This effect seems to be caused by the Phyto-AI’s antagonistic interaction with the estrogen receptor similar to the action of SERMs such as clomid & nolvadex but without the toxic side-effects.

These are the proposed mechanisms partly explaining why we believe Dermacrine will function as a strong PCT supplement, whether used with a SERM or not.

Good info. Great products.

I'm actually considering buying some of their saliva testing kits to get some tests I want done...

Also as an amateur transdermal brewer, I might see about the cost for them to brew up some stuff for me instead of having to do it myself every time one of my pre-contest people need something...

To all home-brewers, here is a link to info on the empty topical solution -

after PCT or OFF cycle it does not get much better then this

for the natural or athlete and other wise.

So I have been reading these Dermacrine threads. I know it is being sold as a PCT product, and I remember one of the threads saying it will raise testosterone in an older men.

My question is;

Is this stuff supposed to raise testosterone in a healthy male who has normal hormone levels? Will this be an effective stand alone testosterone booster for healthy men or just for older men/ men with suppressed hormone levels? If so, have you done any tests on this or do you plan to?

Also what kind of side/ after effects will Dermacrine have, will it leave you suppressed after a cycle. I am thinking about trying it out as a supplement, I haven’t been on any juice for about a year and I would love to find something that will give me some test boost without the atrophy/ risks, but was unclear if it give me a boost or just get me to normal healthy levels.

Another question, what are the benefits of boosting DHEA so high?, does it have stand alone benefits or is it just good as a sign that testosterone is soon to come?

Here is a saliva test we did on a 23 yr old subject. He was not using steroids, and started the Dermacrine with a high-normal testosterone level. Still, the Dermacrine boosted his levels up about 80-90%. He was using 40 spray pump ED. We are following up on his post dermacrine levels now and will have results to post within a week.

IMO, its the metabolites of DHEA that really mater. However, DHEA has been shown to up-regulate StAR protein, and therefore enhance the conversion of cholesterol > pregnenolone. This is considered one of the "rate limiting" steps in hormone production... and of course testosterone production.

The primary beneficial metabolites of DHEA are explained here -

So it's effects are caused by DHEA and AI activity? How does this differ from AIFM?


I expressed my views about AIFM here…

http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?t=531551

To be fair, we believe Dermacrine has the best AI’s for PCT, while AIFM (ATD) appears to be the better choice while on cycle due, due to having a stronger AI which would be necessary if using heavily estrogenic steroids.

As far as the difference in topical technology, our OHV platform is untouched by the competition. User feedback has been exceptional with our topical carrier, with no reports of any rash or discomfort from its use.
