What is it?Beta-Ecdysterone.:

Beta-Ecdysterone,Also known as:ecdisten, ecdysone, isoinokosterone, 20-hydroxyecdysone,Suma,beta-ecdysterone, 20-beta-hydroxyecdysterone, beta-ecdysone,Cyanotis Vaga.

 Beta-Ecdysterone is a naturally occurring phytochemical found in herbs such as Cyanotis vaga. It was first discovered in insects acting as an invertebrate polyhydroxylated sterolic growth hormone. However, it never received much attention because there was no cost-effective way to extract it. It's only recently that companies have developed a way to extract an extremely concentrated form of Beta-Ecdysterone standardised up to 97%.

 It's known by other names of course, the technical name is 20-Beta-Hydroxyecdysterone and other common names are: ecdisten, ecdysone, isoinokosterone, 20-hydroxyecdysone and ecdysterone. Interestingly, it was first discovered in insects acting as an invertebrate polyhydroxylated sterolic growth hormone. Actually, insects depend on it for their survival.

 20-hydroxyecdysone (Ecdysterone) is a naturally occurring ecdysteroid hormone produced by various plants including Cyanotis arachnoides(Cyanotis arachnoidea) and Cyanotis vaga. Upon its isolation, it quickly became apparent that it was taken up by insects feeding on the plant, and played a key role in cell proliferation, growth and apoptosis by controlling gene expression involved in ecdysis and metamorphosis. It acts through a heterodimeric receptor comprising the ecdysone receptor and the ultraspiracle proteins (USP) to cause a positive nitrogen balance in the body. When first isolated, there was little interest from the commercial sector due to the lack of a cost-effective way to extract or synthesise the chemical. However, recent breakthroughs have meant that it can now be isolated in an extremely concentrated form. This has led to experimentation with its use as an anabolic steroid in sport and bodybuilding.

 Scientists have performed over 50 studies on ecdysterone to conclude one resounding agreement: Ecdysterone is safe and it improves nearly every bodily function...without side effects. Muscle Growth
