Ursolodine Review: Does Ursolodine Really Work?

Ursolic acid and tomatidine supplementation has shown huge potential.

For dropping pounds of fat while keeping or growing lean muscle mass - many have sought out Ursolodine to do the job.

Big names like Joe Rogan, Dave Asprey and Tim Ferriss have pushed the surge in use of Ursolodine, touting adaptogenic compounds as the future of performance enhancement.

I first heard about the power of ursolic acid and tomatidine supplementation on the Joe Rogan Podcast with guest Dr. Rhonda Patrick.

Looking further into the research, I found study after study showing how powerful ursolic acid and tomatidine can be - with ScienceDaily calling tomatidine “the answer to bigger, stronger muscles.”

And researcher Christopher Adams, MD, PhD even citing the compounds as potent tools in combating the “muscle weakness and loss [that] are big problems as we become older.”

The World’s Most Famous Performance-Enhancement Chemist (according to Tim Ferriss, at least) described how a database of 1,300 naturally occurring chemicals helped turn researchers onto tomatidine and ursolic acid due to their remarkable anabolic abilities...

“Turning on” genes tied to muscle growth and fat loss, “turning off” genes linked to catabolic processes, and increasing levels of important growth hormones known to significantly boost performance.

I was just coming off a 12 week bulk at the end of June so I started my Ursolodine regimine immediately as I started cutting.

Initial Thoughts

Ursolodine is the first tomatidine supplement available in the US and comes in a synergistic blend with ursolic acid.

I got 12 weeks worth (240 pills) and they arrived 3 days later.

My first time ordering they were out of stock by the time I decided to pull the trigger...

I tried ordering again the next month and got in (but the price had gone up slightly).

The pills came in eco-friendly heat-sealed pouches instead of bottles which is fine by me.

Shipping was free and I’m all for sustainability so that's a plus.

3 pills a day, easy to swallow - no big deal here.

Feeling ON

Almost immediately, I began to feel the “higher levels of available energy from fat” in kind of a freaky way.

I’d been on 4 days of no carbs on my cutting diet and usually don’t feel even 50% of my optimal self in the gym or even just thinking.

But after the first full day on Ursolodine I felt energy like I’d been carb-loading for a competition.

It was undeniable and my muscles even looked tighter than usual, carbs or not.

From then on my workouts came easy - only 30 minute sessions and I always felt like I could go further with it but knew I didn’t really need to.

By week 4 I felt like a monster.

I had cut 7 pounds and didn’t think I had lost an ounce of muscle. I was super lean and my abs were finally starting to really show again.

I continued on with full body workouts 3 times a week and the fat loss kept getting better and better.

On week 9 I had a “no-flexing” 6 pack and was destroying my workouts - I’ve seriously fallen in love with this stuff by this point.

Ultimate Results

Onto week 12 now as I write this article and all I can say is “Holy Shit.” 

I really wish I’d started with Ursolodine earlier to get to the level of leanness I’m at now but better late than never.

I’ve cut 19 pounds in this time and couldn’t be happier with the results.

 I don’t feel like I lost ANY muscle during this cut and it seriously looks like I’ve even gained some.

I’d recommend Ursolodine to guys looking to pack on muscle and drop some fat.

I'll be running Ursolodine for the rest of the year. It's earned it's place in my regular supplement stack and you should definitely check it out when it's available.
