Description
You've probably spent a lot of time wondering why some people are naturally very jacked and others aren’t. Obviously, diet and lifestyle play a role but there is no denying the fact that there is also a major genetic component. Myostatin is a type of protein called a myokine, which limits the level of muscle growth.
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. In other words, the brakes on muscle growth are removed by the inhibition or absence of myostatin.
Genetically gifted bodybuilders have very low levels of myostatin in their bodies. Experiments where animals were born without myostatin grew muscle endlessly with little exercise.
A number of supplements have been designed to inhibit myostatin production over the past 20 years, but none of them have been very effective – until now.
Epi-Muscle (Epicatechin) by Enhanced Labs is a bioactive compound classed as a flavonol, a plant based phytochemical which is found in a number of foods in trace amounts, including green tea and most famously, dark chocolate. 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.

Clinical Studies
A clinical trial where older adults were given 50mg of epicatechin per day found that the follistatin/myostatin ratio increased 49% after only 7 days of supplementation [1]. Another clinical trial found that 200mg of epicatechin per day improved endurance and prevented muscular fatigue by inhibiting the aerobic and mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase adaptations that occur during exercise [2].
Animal studies support these finds. Epicatechin given to mice decreased myostatin by 18% and increased follistatin by 56%.
