THE SCIENCE BEHIND NEXEDGE

We Didn't Choose Less to Be Minimal. We Chose Less to Get More.

Most supplements are designed to impress on a label. NexEdge is designed to work in a body.

In an industry obsessed with adding more, we made a different choice. We identified the two compounds that consistently move male performance systems — and built around them at doses that actually matter.

This page explains why. The science behind each compound. The sourcing process behind each extract. And why fewer, better ingredients produce more predictable results.

COMPOUND 01 — THE ENGINE

LJBoost™ Standardized Tongkat Ali Extract

Grown in Malaysian rainforest soil. Extracted at source. Standardized to 1.5% Eurycomanone.

Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia) is a flowering plant native to the rainforests of Malaysia and Southeast Asia. It has been studied for decades in the context of male hormonal health, stress resilience, and physical performance.

What separates a clinical Tongkat Ali extract from a generic root powder is standardization. LJBoost™ is standardized to 1.5% Eurycomanone — the active marker compound responsible for Tongkat Ali's documented bioactivity. This means every batch delivers a consistent, measurable dose of the compound that matters.

LJBoost™ is also microencapsulated — a process that protects the extract from degradation in the gut and supports more consistent absorption. It doesn't just reach your digestive system. It reaches your bloodstream.

  • What LJBoost™ Supports
  • Healthy testosterone signaling — particularly under conditions of chronic stress
  • Hormonal balance and stress hormone regulation (cortisol modulation)
  • Physical drive, motivation, and mental readiness
  • Performance consistency over time with daily use

What the Research Shows

What the

Testosterone & Stress Hormone Modulation

A randomized controlled trial found that men supplementing with standardized Tongkat Ali extract showed significant improvements in testosterone levels and reductions in cortisol compared to placebo, suggesting a role in stress hormone regulation and hormonal balance under load.

Phytotherapy Research · 2013

Physical Performance & Muscle Strength

A double-blind placebo-controlled study in physically active men found that Tongkat Ali supplementation was associated with significant improvements in muscle strength and fat mass reduction after 5 weeks, supporting its role in physical performance optimization.

Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition · 2014

Stress Resilience & Hormonal Profile

A study examining men and women under moderate stress found that standardized Tongkat Ali extract significantly improved the stress hormone profile — reducing cortisol exposure and improving testosterone levels — compared to placebo. Participants also reported improved mood and energy.

Male Fertility & Reproductive Health Markers

Research published in a peer-reviewed andrology journal found that standardized Tongkat Ali extract supplementation was associated with significant improvements in semen quality parameters, testosterone levels, and overall reproductive health markers in men with suboptimal fertility.

Asian Journal of Andrology · 2012

These studies examine Tongkat Ali and its standardized extracts broadly. Individual results may vary. NexEdge's LJBoost™ extract is standardized to 1.5% Eurycomanone. Consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplement regimen.

COMPOUND 02 — THE CIRCUIT

Manova™ Standardized Black Garlic Extract

Standardized extract. Microencapsulated for stability. Designed for delivery, not just presence.

Black garlic is produced through a controlled fermentation process that transforms raw garlic into a compound with significantly enhanced bioactivity. The fermentation concentrates S-allylcysteine (SAC) and other organosulfur compounds associated with cardiovascular and circulatory benefits.

Manova™ is a standardized black garlic extract — not a raw garlic powder, and not a generic supplement grade ingredient. It is microencapsulated for stability and formulated to support the delivery side of the NexEdge performance system.

In the context of the NexEdge system, Manova™ functions as the circuit. LJBoost™ supports the hormonal signal and drive. Manova™ supports the blood flow efficiency and energy delivery that allows that drive to be expressed physically and mentally.

  • What Manova™ Supports
  • Blood flow efficiency and vascular health
  • Energy delivery during physical and mental effort
  • Endurance and recovery capacity after exertion
  • Cardiovascular function as a foundation for sustained performance

The Delivery Side of the System

Independent research on black garlic's active compounds and their role in cardiovascular and circulatory function.

Blood Pressure & Cardiovascular Function

Blood Pressure & Cardiovascular Function

A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials found that black garlic supplementation was associated with meaningful reductions in blood pressure, supporting its role as a cardiovascular and circulatory health compound.

Journal of Nutrition · 2020

Endurance & Physical Performance

Endurance & Physical Performance

Research examining black garlic's effect on exercise performance found improvements in maximal oxygen uptake and endurance capacity in physically active participants, consistent with its proposed mechanism of supporting blood flow and energy delivery during sustained effort.

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine · 2014

Antioxidant Activity & Recovery

Antioxidant Activity & Recovery

Black garlic has been found to exhibit significantly greater antioxidant activity compared to raw garlic, attributed to the fermentation-induced increase in S-allylcysteine concentration. This supports its role in reducing oxidative stress associated with physical exertion and recovery.

The Spark and The Circuit. Two Compounds. One System.

Performance is not a single lever. It is a system.

Most supplements approach performance by targeting one variable — usually testosterone — and stopping there. But hormonal drive without efficient delivery is incomplete. If blood flow is compromised, the energy signal has nowhere to go. The engine runs, but the circuit is blocked.

NexEdge is built around a closed-loop model. LJBoost™ supports the upstream hormonal signal — drive, readiness, motivation. Manova™ supports the downstream delivery — blood flow, energy distribution, endurance. Together, they form a complete performance circuit.

This is why we don't add a third or fourth ingredient. Every compound added introduces digestive competition, potential absorption interference, and system noise. The closed-loop model works precisely because it is closed.

LJBoost™ The Engine

Manova™ THE CIRCUIT

"Drive is useless if the delivery system is clogged. Blood flow is useless if the engine has no spark."

After standardization, LJBoost™ undergoes microencapsulation — a process that surrounds each particle of extract in a protective coating.

Third-Party Tested Before Dispatch

Third-Party Tested Before Dispatch

Every production batch of NexEdge is tested by an independent third-party laboratory before dispatch.

Nothing Hidden. Nothing to Hide.

FULL LABEL DISCLOSURE

NexEdge uses full label disclosure. Every ingredient is listed by name, form, and amount. There are no proprietary blends — a term used to obscure individual ingredient doses behind a collective total weight.

We list exactly what is in each capsule because we have nothing to conceal. The dose of LJBoost™ is what produces the effect. Hiding it would only make sense if the dose were ineffective.

Less Digestive Noise. More Predictable Absorption.

The gut is not a bottomless processor. When you consume a supplement with 12 ingredients, each compound competes for absorption through the same digestive pathways. Some compounds interfere with others. Some degrade in stomach acid before reaching the small intestine. The result is inconsistent absorption and inconsistent outcomes. NexEdge uses two compounds. Two pathways. No competition. Each extract is microencapsulated to further protect it through the gut and support absorption at the right point in the digestive process. Fewer ingredients don't just reduce label clutter. They reduce digestive friction. And less friction means more of what you take actually reaches the systems it is designed to support.

Cleaner Pathways

Two ingredients. No digestive competition. No crowded absorption queue.

Microencapsulated

Both extracts are microencapsulated to protect potency through the gut and support consistent absorption.

More Predictable

Consistent ingredients at consistent doses produce consistent outcomes. This is why we don't change the formula.
