Ecdysterone - the so-called substance that is obtained from the plants Cyanotis Vaga and Rhaponticum Carthamoides. As a sports nutrition, ecdysterone is usually produced as a cheaper extract from Cyanotis Vaga (contains 40-70% ecdisterone). For the production of a 99 percent extract, which is considered to be of better quality, a more expensive manufacturing technique from Rhaponticum Carthamoides is used.

Ecdysterone effect
Ecdysterone, according to manufacturers, helps to increase the overall tone of the human body, helps to quickly recover from exhausting strength training and has a pronounced anabolic effect.
The action of ecdysterone as an anabolic is explained by its molecular similarity with anabolic steroids. Ecdysterone binds to special androgenic receptors of muscle cells, which leads to an increase in muscle mass and an improvement in strength indicators. With a mechanism of action similar to anabolic steroids, the use of ecdysterone does not entail any side effects.
Athletes who took ecdysterone daily for several months did not notice the negative effect of the drug - their hormonal background remained unchanged, no toxic effects on the kidneys and liver were detected. Ecdysterone is not on the list of banned drugs by the anti-doping committee, so it can be used for competing athletes.
How to take Ecdysterone
In order to gain weight and increase strength, when taking ecdysterone, you should adhere to a certain dose - at least 400 mg. If taken less, the effect of the supplement will be negligible, almost imperceptible. Some manufacturers fool buyers by reducing a single dose to 50 mg, it is necessary to pay special attention to this when taking ecdysterone.
Since ecdysterone, falling into the human body, is rapidly destroyed, it is advisable to use it at least 3 times a day in courses of 3-8 weeks. After receiving, you need to take a break for 1-2 weeks. This is necessary so that there is no addiction to ecdysterone. Then the course can be repeated. To make the effect more impressive, the adoption of ecdysterone should be combined with protein. Additionally, taking 100 g of protein daily, you can significantly increase the effectiveness of ecdysterone.
Ecdysterone Efficacy
The ability of ecdysterone to improve the physical performance of athletes still does not have one hundred percent evidence, so its effectiveness is still in doubt. Not everyone trusts numerous articles on the grandiose results of taking the drug, because many of the experiments have no scientific justification.
Conclusions about the positive effects of ecdysterone, used in conjunction with vitamin complexes, are based on studies in which subjects taking ecdysterone showed better results than those who did not. True, scientists believe that reliable results on the use of ecdysterone have not yet been obtained.
