Cycle Insurance – Abbreviated Write Up
Cycle Insurance has been formulated to give you everything you need to insure a safer cycle. The ingredients in Cycle Insurance are based on current research and user feedback giving you an easy one stop solution to help run a cycle as safely as possible. The vast majority of people running a cycle these days are educated – they know they need to research first, plan PCT and consider side effects. They have weighed the risks and where possible have selected ancillary products to mitigate against those risks. The trouble is you often find yourself with a dozen different pills to swallow each morning! They all need to be purchased separately, keeping an eye on which supplier is providing the best price, gauging the active extracts in one product against another…Then there is remembering how many of each one needs to be taken, at what time, and for how long, then making sure you have enough! The cycle itself often becomes the easy part!

Cycle Insurance makes it easy by giving you everything you need in one place. We haven’t just included the right ingredients that you will have heard of, we have included effective amounts, based not only on the studies but on what people want and use. Cycle Insurance contains 60 servings. Each individual serving is provided in a sealed foil sachet, so you don’t need to worry about unscrewing the lid and finding your tub of powder has turned into a rock hard lump! You know every serving is the correct size, no measuring, no spillage, no fuss, and if you’re away for a few days you can pack a few small sachets rather than carting around a big tub of powder.
The ingredients in Cycle Insurance are of the highest quality, we didn’t go for a poor quality extract to save a few pounds we sought out the best to bring you a product that you can run with confidence

Milk Thistle Extract (80% Silymarin ) 1000mg

Hawthorn Berry Extract (Crataegus Oxyacantha 10:1 Extract) 1000mg
(Blood Pressure)
Hawthorn Berry is reported to have the following beneficial effects: increasing the body's ability to utilize oxygen and the heart’s ability to use calcium, it helps regulate both high and low blood pressure, gently dilates and relaxes the coronary blood vessels, improves overall circulation and strengthens the contractive force of the heart and assists in the break down of cholesterol and fat deposits

Celery Seed Extract (10:1 Extract) 150mg

Celery seed is suggested to support the circulatory system and help control blood pressure.
Suggested as an alternative therapy for arthritis, rheumatism, and gout. Celery seed is most often taken to aid in the maintenance of healthy joints.

Tribulus Terrestris (40% Saponins 700mg)
(Libido Support)
One area where there does seem to be unanimous agreement is in Tribulus’ ability to support and improve libido, hence its inclusion in Cycle Insurance.

N-Acetyl Cysteine 1200mg
(Liver and Kidney Support)
NAC is protective of the Liver and has been used in clinical settings to treat patients with paracetamol (acetaminophen) poisoning. It has been suggested that NAC could also be protective of the kidneys.

Red yeast rice has been shown to lower total and LDL Cholesterol levels.
Idebenone 100mg
(Powerful Antioxidant, Nootropic, Anti Aging, Cognitive Enhancer)
Idebenone is an analogue of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10. Idebenone is a powerful antioxidant, more so than Co Q10, and in some studies is 30 to 100 times more effective, than vitamin E or Vinpocetine as a free radical quencher within the brain cells.

Nettle Root (16:1 Urtica Dioca) 250mg
(Prostate Support, Anti Inflammatory)
Nettle is probably best known for its usefulness in treating for prostate inflammation (prostatitis) and benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH).

Jiaogulan Extract (Gynostemma Pentaphyllum) (90% Gypenosides) 150mg
(Potent Antioxidant, Liver, Cholesterol, Digestion, Blood Pressure)
Praised in China as Xiancao – ‘Immortality Herb’, because it grows wild and has many health-giving qualities and anti-aging effects.
Scientific research studies in China have shown that Jiaogulan has beneficial effects on cholesterol levels. It improves fat metabolism, reduces blood triglyceride levels and depresses lipid peroxide. In addition to its actions on cholesterol levels, it can also improve and strengthen the digestion, promoting increased nutrient absorption. These regulatory effects on bodily functions are the hallmark of an adaptogen.

Warnings and Contraindications
This product should not be used with anticoagulants or immunosuppressant

Recommended Use
As a dietary supplement use one sachet two times per day. Open sachet and mix contents with 300-500ml water or milk, or add to your favourite protein drink.
Currently running a cycle of Var 100mg ed,npp 150mg eod, Dbol 30mg ed, HGH 8iu eod, T3, ECA/clen so thought this is the perfect time to trial it.

The ingredients sounds amazing and exactly what id try run as support when running a cycle but would cost a LOT more and lots of pills!! Have had bloods done a while back so have base levels but not planning to have done after but this might change, mainly to see if it has helped keep liver enzyme counts lower, cholestrol etc

Initial thoughts - Taste - Got chocolate and must say the taste is not great at all!! But tbh with all those ingredients dont expect it to be. Maybe something for GE to work on

More updates to follow!
