Reviewed by Garett Reid, MSc, CSCS, CISSNStrength coach & sports nutrition specialist · · About the author
Bucked Up Essentials Turkesterone is a plant-based supplement marketed to support muscle growth, strength, and recovery through its naturally occurring phytoecdysteroid content.
Each two-capsule serving provides 1,200 mg of Ajuga turkestanica extract standardized to 10% turkesterone, delivering 120 mg of actual turkesterone. The formula is stimulant-free, gluten-free, non-GMO, and third-party tested.
I like that Bucked Up clearly discloses the extract's standardization and actual turkesterone content, something that isn't always transparent with botanical supplements. However, there is currently insufficient human evidence demonstrating that turkesterone meaningfully improves muscle growth, strength, or recovery. Despite its popularity, I would consider it an experimental supplement rather than a proven muscle-building ingredient.
