Ecdysterone is a natural plant product derived from the leaves and roots of the levzea plant. This is a rare plant that grows only at high altitudes and special conditions in some parts of Siberia, China, Mongolia and Central Asia.
According to some scientific studies, the historical age of the genus Levzea is about 3-5 million years. This is the root of the impossibility of cultivating it in other places.
Ecdysteroids are plant hormones that are found in some arthropods and plants. They have been used for years to increase the performance of athletes. Ecdysterone belongs to them, and its useful actions are numerous.
History of ecdysterone
The first in the research and isolation of sterols from plants were the Soviet scientists who in the 60s of the last century isolated ecdysterone and furastaniol. They have a proven anabolic effect, which is proven after long research. This revolutionary discovery was not advertised during the Cold War.
As sterols are not included in the doping lists, but have a strong anabolic effect, they began to be used as a secret weapon and legal doping by almost all national athletes of the USSR and other communist countries of the Eastern Bloc.
Ecdysterone entered the big sport in 1985. All national athletes (especially barbells and other power sports) were given large doses of ecdysterone, which was a legal anabolic without affecting the health of athletes.
It explains the great results of the athletes from the socialist camp in the late 80's and early 90's. Then the miracle supplement was learned in the West, and the United States began its widespread use, despite the limited quantities of raw materials on the market. To this day, ecdysterone remains an indispensable legal stimulant.
Ecdysterone selection and storage
Ecdysterone is marketed in the form of sports supplements. Every athlete should carefully choose their exdsterone provider so as not to spend a lot of money on a weak supplement.
It is very easy to establish the quality of ecdysterone - if after 2 weeks of intake he does not notice a visible effect, then he has acquired a low-quality product and must look for a new one. Ecdysterone supplements are very expensive, and their price can exceed BGN 100. It is stored according to the instructions.
Benefits of ecdysterone
Ecdysterone is characterized by well-defined anabolic activity, which promotes the accumulation of muscle mass, different from other adaptogens. This action is extremely important for athletes and people engaged in heavy physical labor.
With prolonged use of ecdysterone improves the condition of the liver, hemoglobin content and blood composition.
Men's sexual activity also increases significantly. This is associated with both the stimulating action of the nerve centers and the enhancement of general anabolism.
Ecdysterone recommended for increasing endurance and physical activity; to restore the body from hard physical work and training; reduction of stress, depression, phobias.
Ecdysterone improves the work of the heart, blood vessels and blood circulation; fights free radicals as a powerful antioxidant.
Many recent studies have focused on the effects of ecdysteroids on the immune system. Particular attention should be paid to the impact on the immune system.
Other experiments show that ecdysteroids have a synergistic effect similar to that of vitamin D. They improve liver function.
Harm from ecdysterone
It's considered that ecdysterone is completely safe. Unlike banned anabolic steroids, the use of which reduces the level of natural testosterone, the use of ecdysterone does not change the level of testosterone and does not require the use of additional testosterone therapy.
