Brief Introduction:

Ecdysterone is extracted from the roots of Cyanotis arachnoidea C. B. Clarke. Cyanotis arachnoidea C. B. Clarke distribute widely in China, though which distributed in Yunnan province has the economic value for producing ecdysterone.

Ecdysterone can promote the amino acid to produce protein. It can stimulate the grow of muscle. It can also improve the liver function in order to accommodate the stress due to the change of environment.

The Science and Clinical Studies

Phytoecdysteroids, which are structurally identical to insect molting hormones, produce a range of effects in mammals, including increasing growth and physical performance. They also have been reported to have effects in lowering of cholesterol, and management of healthy blood glucose levels

20-Hydroxyecdysone increases fiber size in a muscle-specific fashion in rat

20-Hydroxyecdysone decreases weight and hyperglycemia in a diet-induced obesity mice model

EcdyMorph (99% 20-hydroxyecdysone) is extracted from the herbaceous perennial plant Rhaponticum Carthamoides. The same plant source used in human and animal studies . Most ecdysterone products sold in the market today use an extract derived from Cyanotis Vaga. This is a much cheaper extract and is usually only standardized to 40-70% 20-Hydroxecdysone.
