Ecdysterone Maximum Purity Muscle Builder by Psycho Pharma
Ecdysterone belongs to a family of compounds known as ecdysteroids that are found in plants, arthropods, and certain fungi that regulate molting (the skin shedding metamorphosis in crabs, centipedes, scorpions, etc). For something that serves as an arthropod molting hormone necessary for the demanding processes of metamorphosis and with structural similarities to human muscle-building hormones, it’s easy to see why Ecdysterone is of great interest to sports scientists, strength athletes, and bodybuilders. In humans, it is believed to lead to an increase in muscle mass by enhancing the muscles’ leucine intake and optimizing the mRNA translation process for increased protein synthesis.
Does It Have Side Effects?
With no known negative side effects in humans, we can now benefit from several benefits observed in scientific studies, including anabolic, anti-diabetic, and immune-stimulating changes.
Although Ecdysterone is sought out for its anabolic, muscle-building properties it is important to note that it does not have androgenic properties, and thus does NOT disrupt human hormones like other synthetic anabolic agents.
Is Ecdysterone Legal?
Ecdysterone and Turkesterone are both naturally occurring hormones and are currently allowed in all forms. However due to their ability to increase athletic performance, historically ingredients like this do find their way to the list of prohibited substances.
Ecdysterone vs Turkesterone
You may respond to one better than the other, or both taken together. They have similarities and differences.
- They are both ecdysteroids
- Both show promising benefits in animal trials
- Ecdysterone has a published human trial
- Turkesterone is an analog of ecdysterone and may be slightly more anabolic
- Neither are androgenic and do not disrupt human hormone levels
- They both have similar benefits
- Neither has shown significant toxicity side effects
