Product Description
Epicatechin is a naturally occurring flavanol found in high concentrations in dark chocolate, green tea, and various fruits. It belongs to the flavan-3-ol subclass of flavonoids and has attracted significant research attention for its effects on myostatin regulation, nitric oxide production, and mitochondrial biogenesis. Studies published in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry have demonstrated that epicatechin can decrease myostatin levels and increase follistatin concentrations in both in vitro and in vivo models, suggesting a favourable shift in the myostatin-to-follistatin ratio that may promote muscle growth. Additional research has shown epicatechin can stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis through PGC-1α and TFAM upregulation, enhance nitric oxide bioavailability via eNOS activation, and improve vascular endothelial function. Its well-characterised safety profile and natural origin make it a widely studied compound in exercise physiology and cardiovascular research. This product is provided exclusively for scientific research and laboratory use.
