EPIMUSCLE (Epicatechin)

 

Epicatechin is a bioactive flavanol found in trace amounts in green tea and cocoa. Research with epicatechin indicates that it increases levels of follistatin, a unique type of protein found in the muscle cells which binds to and inhibits the actions of myostatin in the body. Epicatechin increases follistatin and more follistatin equals less myostatin, which in turn means more muscle.

Animals lacking myostatin, either due to a defective gene or because they’ve been treated with compounds that inhibit production, show huge increases in muscularity. The limits of muscle growth are removed by the inhibition of myostatin.

EPIMUSCLE BENEFITS:

  • Enhanced muscle growth and strength
  • Increased nitric oxide production-improving vascularity, blood flow and endurance
  • Improved muscle insulin sensitivity
  • Lowered total cholesterol levels
  • Improved brain and heart health

Whether you’re looking to build muscle, burn fat or increase athletic performance, epicatechin is a worthwhile addition to your supplement arsenal, and because it’s non-hormonal, epicatechin can be used by both men and women with no side effects.
