It looks the shit but after reading up on it, it may be shit after all! Some supplement companies have published their research on this and have re-labelled the product because the purity levels are actually 5% - when they claim to be 95%![/quote]
haha yea, but this company is legit. this is directly from their website.
Q. What is so good about Divanil?
A. Divanil is a high-potency extract of stinging nettle root. Most of your circulating testosterone is bound or inactive. A plasma glycoprotein called Sex-Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) binds up most of your testosterone so that it cannot exert any anabolic effect. Divanil knocks out SHBG allowing your own testosterone to be free. This is significant because SHBG-bound testosterone cannot exert its muscle-building effects.
Q. Can’t we just get this effect cheap from generic stinging nettle root extract products?
A. As much as you would like that, no. While generic stinging nettle products contain all lignans found in the root, Divanil is standardized to 95% 3,4-divanillyltetrahydrofuran. It is this lignan that shows the highest affinity for sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and what was responsible for the obvious beneficial effects of the original ActivaTe. Generic products also tend to have the typical 10% standardization, so to get one month’s worth of the product at the dosing equivalent to the recommended dosing of Divanil would require multiple bottles and likely not have the same effect in the event of other lignans in the root antagonizing the effect of Divanil.
if you look up this company on forums, alot of being pay out of their own pocket for blood work and the results are outstanding. the product is somewhat pricey though, so i guess you get what you pay for!
