All of these were identified in just 2008. Many of which were found to exist in our favorite plant, Rhaponticum Carthamoides:


Compound: CARTHAMOLEUSTERONE

Compound: 2-DEOXYECDYSONE 3-[4-(1-β-D-GLUCOPYRANOSYL)]-FERULATE

Compound: 2-DEOXYECDYSONE 25-RHAMNOSIDE

Compound: 2-DEOXY-20-HYDROXYECDYSONE 3-[4-(1-β-D-GLUCOPYRANOSYL)]-FERULATE

Compound: 22-DEOXY-28-HYDROXYMAKISTERONE C

Compound: 2-DEOXY-5,20,26-TRIHYDROXYECDYSONE

Compound: 2-DEOXY-5,20,26-TRIHYDROXYECDYSONE 20,22-ACETONIDE

Compound: 20,26-DIHYDROXYECDYSONE 20,22-ACETONIDE

Compound: 14-EPI-PONASTERONE A 22-GLUCOSIDE

Compound: 26-HYDROXYMAKISTERONE C

Compound: SERFUROSTERONE A

Compound: SERFUROSTERONE B

Compound: 5β,11α,20-TRIHYDROXYECDYSONE

Compound: 5,20,26-TRIHYDROXYECDYSONE 20,22-ACETONIDE

have they been able to predict the strength of these relative to turk, pon, etc?

On most of these, no.

The issue is really one of time and money. It's probably a safe bet that it's going to be a LONG time. I've inquired about ordering these new bulk ecdy's in isolation, but none has been extracted yet.

Bulk Turk currently runs $300,000/kilo, if that tells you anything..

excuse my confusion, so since all of these compounds are contained in the RC plant are they also in Kre-Anabolin or is just one (or few) of them isolated and used in KA ?

You'll find lots of helpful and informative info in this regard, here- https://bodybuildingsupplements.com/leuzea_ecdy.html

A couple of excerpts, in particular-

"Research indicates that the whole extract of Leuzea Rhaponticum Carthamoides containing all levseins exerts a much superior physiological activity compared with individual constituents." (Seifulla 1999)

"Leuzea extract stimulates muscle protein synthesis by increasing the activity of polyribosomes. Polyribosomes are the cellular compartments where the actual protein synthesis takes place. Researchers extracted and purified various ecdysteroids from Leuzea and found that the ecdysteroids increased the mass in a dose-dependent manner, with the rate of increase proportional to the ecdysteroids content. It was evident that the plethora of growth-promoting, vitamin-like effects induced by Leuzea is mediated by ecdysteroids. However it is important to point out that the mixture of all ecdysterones was found to be responsible for enhancement of muscle protein synthesis."
