5a-Hydroxy Laxogenin

Synonimy: 5α-Hydroxy laxogenin, (25R)-5α-Hydroxy-5α-spirostan-6-one, 5α-Hydroxy-5α-spirostan-6-one, Laxogenin 5α-hydroxy analog

In the evolving landscape of sports nutrition and regenerative health, 5a-Hydroxy Laxogenin has emerged as a molecule of considerable interest. Unlike conventional anabolic agents, it operates through plant-derived steroidal saponin pathways, offering a non-hormonal route to support protein synthesis and recovery. Formulators are increasingly incorporating it into premium muscle-building stacks, joint health formulas, and adaptogen blends aimed at active adults seeking a natural edge.

5a-Hydroxy Laxogenin is a synthetic derivative of laxogenin, a naturally occurring spirostanol saponin found in plants such as Smilax sieboldii and Dioscorea species. The addition of a hydroxyl group at the 5α position enhances its solubility and bioavailability compared to the parent compound. This structural modification allows for more efficient interaction with cellular receptors involved in nitrogen retention and tissue repair.

LyvBio supplies 5a-Hydroxy Laxogenin with a guaranteed purity of ≥98% (HPLC), ensuring consistent potency for both research and commercial applications. Our production adheres to strict quality control measures, including low heavy metals and tight microbial limits, making it suitable for dietary supplements, functional foods, and pharmaceutical research. With a focus on scalability and regulatory support, we cater to enterprises requiring reliable, high-purity ingredients.

Product Overview & Composition

5a-Hydroxy Laxogenin belongs to the spirostanol class of steroidal saponins, characterized by a spiroketal side chain. Its molecular formula C27H42O5 and molecular weight of 446.62 g/mol reflect a lipophilic core with moderate polarity, facilitating membrane permeability. The compound is typically produced via semi-synthesis from diosgenin, a widely available plant steroidal sapogenin. The synthetic route involves selective hydroxylation at the 5α position, followed by purification through column chromatography and recrystallization to achieve high purity.

In terms of composition, the product is a single, well-defined chemical entity, not a mixture of isomers. Our HPLC analysis confirms a single peak corresponding to the desired 5a-Hydroxy Laxogenin, with no significant related substances. This level of purity is critical for formulators who need precise dosing and reproducible results.
