"EPICAT 200 max" Epicatechin 90% Extract Myostatin Inhibitor 200 Mg

Love it. Definitely feel a difference in the gym.

Pretty good product for the money.

Was not impressed with this product not as clean feeling as others and gave me acne

I ordered This supplement for my friend Mary Ellen who has many years of using tea, chocolate and other epicatechin containing products for years, the main ingredient in this supplement. Still, this product gave her headaches, rash and other symptoms. The response of the supplier (manufacturer) is that they have a no returns, no refunds on opened products. That is NOWHERE on the Amazon page for this product (maybe I'm half blind but I DID look). Given Amazon's excellent return, refund policy we fell for this. This is a health supplement and the customer' health doesn't appear to matter especially on a supplement as expensive as this. That is dishonest. Beware! No returns, no refunds on opened products on this expensive supplement!

Sure, after taking half the recommended dose (1 pill per 24 hours, instead of one every 12 hours), for a few weeks, I did gain some strength, but nothing like the follistatin cow you'll find on Google.It does work, but there's a lot to consider:1- Follistatin or epicatechin both are myostatin inhibitors.This product, based on Follistatin, will inhibit myostatin by suppressing the myostatin signal receivers (or something). It's basically a drugs, that will numb your body into producing myostatin.Epicatechin on the other hand, is all natural, and made from green tea, and dark chocolate extract.From what I read, Epicatechin works by allowing your body to produce more Follistatin by itself.And I am a proponent of natural products over drugs.2- There's really not a lot of conclusive research been done on humans, and publicized. So this leads me to the next topic: cons!One of the possible cons of taking Follistatin, is that your body will naturally will start to make less of it. Meaning, as soon as you stop your therapy, your body will be twice as aggressive eating away all that muscle mass you've gained, until your Follistatin levels balance out again.Two- Doses:Test subjects have been subject to 1mg of Follistatin per kg of body weight, or about 75mg of it.This pill contains 200 mg of it, and recommends to take twice a day. This would be a mild dose for a 400kg/800lbs person, but most surely an overdose for anyone else.Three- This is not FDA approved. You are basically risking your life on the chance of having larger muscles, much like in the days of old, radioactive water was thought to kill bacteria (it does, but would you drink it?).There still are no results out on what will happen to the older muscle cells.By suppressing your myostatin levels, you are telling your body to not get rid of old cells. Cells that are worn.These cells stay in circulation a little longer, but if you take Follistatin every 12 hours, non stop, chances are these cells might get old, and mutate to tumors or cancers, if not taken out by myostatin.You need to know that myostatin is your body's way to kill muscle cells that are old. By allowing them to stay in longer, you allow your body to run a higher risk on developing cancer, either through allowing older cells to duplicate with damaged genes, or older cells to die and explode, allowing free radicals to run in your system wrecking havoc.There is NO study done on humans in this, only on animals like mice, cows and dogs, but they seem to respond different from us.The body has good tolerance levels, so taking this a few days, or weeks in a row probably won't harm, but Follistatin's competitor Epicatechin warns no continuous use of their products for more than 4 weeks!This product offers no label on this warning whatsoever, and this is why it's still not FDA approved.I would not take this product frequently, and only recommend to take it, when you are thin by nature, and no amount of workout seems to increase muscle mass in you. You may be one of the unlucky ones born with high myostatin levels, that would Never be able to get normal muscle tone without this product (although I would recommend Epicatechin for you).People like you also have family (grandparents) with heart problems, as high myostatin levels do damage the heart and veins at later ages.All that being said, I would recommend Epicatechin over Follistatin, due to it being a nutrient, rather than a drug, and I would recommend people to half the recommended dose (1 pill a day), to allow myostatin levels to increase during the night to remove bad cells; and only take the recommended dose if you are suffering from muscle disorders, in a way that it's nearly impossible for you to look athletic, even with lots of effort and other supplements.

Buen producto
