20-H (20-hydroxyecdysone or ecdysterone) is a new
powerful non-harmful anabolic adaptogenic solution that has been shown in scientific studies to have a
pronounced capacity to stimulate protein synthesis in muscle cells. It was initially discovered as a growth
hormone in insects. However, 20-H also exists as a naturally occurring phytochemical in the herbs
Rhaponticum/Leuzeae and Cyanotic vaga. In 2000, scientists developed technology to extract the
compound through in-vitro cell cultivation, providing the necessary purity and concentration needed for
marketable supplementation.
What does it do?
Ecdysterone creates an environment in the body
conducive to building muscles by maintaining a positive nitrogen balance and augmenting protein
synthesis. Research shows using 20-H along with a balanced protein diet and regular exercise will result
in increasing lean body mass and muscle growth. A 1988 scientific study by S. Simakin proved those athletes
who used protein and ecdysterone had a 6-7 percent increase in lean muscle mass with a 10 percent
reduction in fat in just 10 days.
Research on ecdysterone has proven its effectiveness
in increasing endurance and energy, stimulating
metabolism, decreasing blood sugar, and reducing
fatigue. 20-H has been discovered to increase protein
synthesis by an extraordinary 180 percent, while the
well-known anabolic steroid Methandrostendione only
increases protein synthesis by 163 percent. 20-H also
can improve nerve function, enhance the development of
mature red blood cells, and have a positive effect on
the skin, with improvements in keratin and acne.
How should it be taken?
For the best results, ecdysterone should be taken with
a protein-rich diet. The recommended daily dosage is 5
mg per kilogram of body weight. For instance, a person
weighing 78 kg (or 170 lbs.) would take 386 mg per
day. 20-H should also be cycled, as with any
supplement, so that the body does not plateau.
Are there any side effects?
Unlike anabolic steroids, 20-H has demonstrated no
known adverse reactions or side effects. It also has an incredibly low toxicity and no hormonal interactions, virilization, conversion into estrogenic compounds or high blood pressure.
TKE’s answer to ecdysterone supplementation- 20H
TKE’s 20-H is a strong, non-harmful anabolic
supplement, scientifically proven to increase protein synthesis, improve nitrogen retention, enhance
endurance and promote lean weight gain. The perfect addition to a high-protein diet, 20-H can vastly
improve anyone’s athletic performance and body image, safely and effectively.
