11-ketotestosterone is a naturally-occurring strongly anabolic compound. It is found in trace amounts in humans (it’s a metabolite of adrenal hormones) and is the primary androgen in fish (so it’s present in the food supply). Conventional wisdom dictates that attempting to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time is, if not impossible, then at least very hard.

</br> • 11-ketotestosterone is active without conversion, is incapable of aromatization, and activates the androgen receptor as strongly as testosterone. [1]
</br>
</br> 11-ketotestosterone is also a strong and selective inhibitor of the reductase activity of 11β-HSD1, [2] meaning that it reduces cortisol levels in fat tissue and in the liver. High levels of cortisol in those tissues are associated with a number of symptoms of ‘metabolic syndrome’, like increased hepatic glucose production, adipocyte differentiation, central obesity, and insulin resistance.
</br>
</br> XI-KT is ideal to aid in the cutting process, for help with fat loss while retaining strength and muscle. XI-KT is also ideally suited as a “recomp” agent, for simultaneous fat loss and muscle and strength gain.
