About this item

(-)-Epicatechin is most commonly used as a workout supplement as it may support follistatin volume, which hinders myostatin signaling, thus allowing (-)-Epicatechin to indirectly promote muscle growth. However, (-)-Epicatechin has some lesser known benefits to cognition as well. Several reports indicate that (-)-Epicatechin can help promote blood flow and has notable benefits to cognitive tasks like memory and executive function.

Product Description

EPICATECHIN

Epicatechin for Muscle Growth: Elevate Your Workouts Naturally

Epicatechin is a type of flavonoid known for its antioxidant properties. It's naturally found in cocoa, dark chocolate, green tea, and certain fruits like apples and berries. Epicatechin from Green Tea has gained attention for its potential health benefits, particularly in cardiovascular health, due to its ability to improve blood flow, enhance nitric oxide production, and reduce blood pressure. It's also been studied for its effects on exercise performance, muscle growth, & cognitive function.

POPULAR AMONG BODYBILDERS

1. Myostatin and Muscle Growth: Myostatin is a protein that inhibits muscle growth. High levels of myostatin can limit muscle hypertrophy, which is why bodybuilders often seek ways to reduce its activity. Epicatechin has been shown to inhibit myostatin, thereby reducing its restrictive effects on muscle growth. By lowering myostatin levels, epicatechin may help bodybuilders achieve greater muscle hypertrophy and increased muscle mass.

2. Enhanced Nitric Oxide Production: NO is a molecule that plays a critical role in vasodilation, the widening of blood vessels. This process improves blood flow, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to muscles during exercise. For bodybuilders, increased NO production can lead to better muscle pumps during workouts, enhanced endurance, and reduced muscle fatigue. This allows for more intense and prolonged training sessions, which can contribute to greater muscle gains over time.

3. Improved Exercise Recovery: Intense training generates oxidative stress, which can lead to muscle damage and delayed recovery. Epicatechin’s antioxidant properties help neutralize free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and promoting faster muscle recovery. Epicatechin’s anti-inflammatory effects may further support recovery by reducing muscle soreness and inflammation after strenuous workouts.

4. Potential Muscle Endurance: Some studies suggest that epicatechin may enhance mitochondrial function, which is critical for energy production in cells. Improved mitochondrial efficiency can lead to better muscle endurance, allowing bodybuilders to perform more repetitions or sustain higher intensity during workouts.

5. Supporting Lean Muscle Mass: Although not a primary focus, some research indicates that epicatechin might assist in reducing body fat, helping bodybuilders achieve a leaner physique while preserving muscle mass.

Epicatechin’s health benefits are mediated through several molecular pathways:

Nitric Oxide Production

By enhancing NO synthase activity, epicatechin increases NO levels, leading to vasodilation & improved endothelial function.

Myostatin Inhibition

Epicatechin’s ability to inhibit myostatin promotes muscle growth and strength.

Antioxidant Action

Epicatechin scavenges free radicals, reducing oxidative stress & inflammation across various tissues.

Insulin Signaling Enhancement

Epicatechin improves insulin receptor sensitivity and glucose uptake, supporting metabolic health.

DOSAGE:

-Low Dose: 50-100 mg per day. Suitable for general health benefits and as a starting point to assess tolerance. (1 Capsule per day)

-Moderate Dose: 150-300 mg per day. Commonly used by those looking to enhance muscle growth, improve exercise performance, or boost cardiovascular health. (2 Capsule per day for dose of 200 mg per day)

-High Dose: 400-500 mg per day. Sometimes used in research settings or by individuals aiming for maximum muscle or performance gains. NOT RECOMMENDED BY US!

BEST TIME TO CONSUME?

The best time to take epicatechin can depend on your specific goals and how your body responds to the supplement. Here are some general guidelines:

1. Pre-Workout: 60 minutes before your workout. Taking epicatechin before a workout may enhance blood flow and muscle performance due to its potential nitric oxide-boosting effects. This could lead to better endurance and more effective workouts.

2. Post-Workout: 60 minutes before your workout. Epicatechin may help with muscle recovery and reduce oxidative stress after exercise, which could be beneficial for muscle growth and recovery.

3. With a Meal: With your main meal of the day, such as lunch or dinner. Taking epicatechin with a meal can help with absorption, particularly if the meal contains some fat, which can aid in the uptake of flavonoids.

4. Before Bed: 60 minutes before bedtime. Some people take epicatechin before bed for its potential benefits in muscle recovery during sleep, though this is less common.
