Additional Information:
Description: The active ingredient in Adequan ® is polysulfated glycosaminoglycan (PSGAG). Polysulfated glycosaminoglycan is a semi-synthetic glycosaminoglycan prepared by extracting glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) from bovine tracheal cartilage. GAGs are polysaccharides composed of repeating disaccharide units. The GAG present in PSGAG is principally chondroitin sulfate containing 3 to 4 sulfate esters per disaccharide unit. The molecular weight for PSGAG used in the manufacture of Adequan ® is 3,000 to 15,000 daltons.
some research done by hooker:
Now, check this out: As a side effect IM administration of 500mgs E4D for 12 weeks of PSGAG, the mean test subject showed roughly a 13.5% increase in bodyweight! Yeah, you read that correctly. Not only does this stuff help heal joint injuries, it may be anabolic! This may be due to the fact that it elevates both White blood cell count as well as the Polymorphonuclear cells. Also of note is that it elevates lymphocytes.
So how much of this stuff should a 200lb bodybuilder take? Well, ideally, I’d say 125mgs, IM, every 4 days. This should be done for at least 28 days, and possibly for as long as twice that.
How much will it cost? Well, a 5ml, 100mg/ml bottle is going to set you back about $50. And if you’re taking it as I recommend, then each bottle (vial) will last you 16 days, so you’ll need at least 2-5 bottles. It’s also sold, similarly priced in the ever-inconvenient 5ml amps.
