Turkesterone

Supplement

Phytoecdysteroid marketed for anabolic and performance effects. Human evidence is absent or indirect; studies of ecdysterone cannot be attributed to turkesterone as though the molecules were interchangeable.

Pharmacokinetic model

A route-level PK model for turkesterone is being prepared from published data. Dosing references, studies, and documented interactions are below; the app catalog is updated as models are validated.

  1. Ecdysterone and Turkesterone-Compounds with Prominent Potential in Sport and Healthy Nutrition Todorova V, Ivanova S, Chakarov D, Kraev K, Ivanov K · Nutrients, 2024 DOI

    Narrative review discussed chemistry and predominantly preclinical findings for ecdysterone and turkesterone. It identifies the lack of direct controlled human turkesterone evidence.

  2. The Effects of Multiple Acute Turkesterone Doses on Indirect Measures of Hypertrophy and Metabolic Measures: A Preliminary Investigation. Harris DR, Chapman-Lopez T, Machek SB, Forsse JS, Sulak T, Funderburk LK · Muscles (Basel, Switzerland), 2024 DOI

    This citation reports a human primary study involving Turkesterone. It does not by itself establish a qualified dose, safety profile, efficacy claim, or pharmacokinetic route for this record.
