Ecydysterone, Beta-Ecdysterone or sometimes called 20-Hydroxyecdysone is anEcdysteroid, which is a naturally occurring hormone found in certain plants and insects. Ecdysteroid is a coined term, firstly "ecdy" meaning ecdysis (the moulting process of arthropods), and "steroids" as this compound has a carbon ring polyhydroxylated ketosteroid base structure.
Ecdysterone is an active substance extracted from the roots of the Cyanotis, arachnoidea,C,B,Clarke in the family of ducataraceae. It is divided into white, off-white, light yellow or light brown crystalline powder according to its purity.
Ecdysterone supplements are taken for their performance-enhancing effects. They may help boost muscle mass, strength, powder and recovery.
Health care effect
Ecdysterone can promote collagen synthesis, resist arrhythmia and fatigue in human body. Promote cell growth, stimulate dermal cell division, eliminate cholesterol in the body; Reduce blood lipids, inhibit the rise of blood sugar; Activating channels and collaterals, dehumidification and analgesia, and other physiological activities.
Might Help Improve Insulin Sensitivity
While more research on this topic is warranted, at least one animal study found that ecdysterone supplements could support metabolic health, including by preventing insulin resistance, hyperglycemia (high blood sugar, which is related to type 2 diabetes) and obesity.
Might Support Immune Function
Ecdysteroids seem to have some adaptogenic effects that can help the body cope with stress and pathogens. Some potential ways that this compound may support homeostasis and immune function include by:
Increasing red blood cell number
Improving quality of sleep
Improving tolerance to thermal stress
Supporting cardiac function and circulation
Stimulating bone growth
Having anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects
In terms of sports health products, ecdysone has a significant ability to stimulate protein synthesis in muscle cytoplasm by increasing amino acid assembly into protein chains, and the ability to trace back to the translation and migration process of protein growth. Ecdysone is not only healthy but also safe, it helps to stabilize cells during cortisol damage, normalizes energy synthesis steps (ATP and sarcosine) and improves liver function so that the organism can rapidly adapt to environmental and stress changes.
May Help Improve Muscle Building
Ecdysterone is thought to help increase protein synthesis, which means it might make it easier to put on muscle mass when you consistently do strength-training exercises.
Some research has shown that it has a high "anabolic ratio," meaning it potentially can contribute to increased:
stimulation of muscle cell formation (anabolism)
protein synthesis from amino acids
red blood cell production
bone remodeling and growth
It's thought that echysterone has anabolic effects that are mediated by its estrogen receptor (ER) binding properties. ERβ signaling is involved in the regulation of skeletal muscle growth and regeneration and also modulated immune function.
Ecdysterone also seems to support muscle protein synthesis by affecting PI3K/Akt signaling pathways.
May Assist in Athletic Performance
Ecdysteroid supplements are appealing to athletes and bodybuilders because they not only build muscle, but can also reduce fatigue and ease recovery.
Dosage
Beta-ecdysterone dosages vary depending on the individual using the supplement. There currently isn't a standard dosage recommendation, which means reading the product's directions carefully is important.
In studies, low dosages between 12 milligrams per day and 45 milligrams per day have been taken safely for about 10 weeks. This amount has been shown to be enough to promote gains in muscle mass when coupled with consistent strength-training.
Combining it with cyclodextrin may help with absorption and potentially result in even more benefits.
Aquaculture application
In sericulture, it is used to shorten the age of silkworms, organize the upper clusters neatly, and promote the spinning of silk and cocoon formation. Ecdysone is a necessary substance for the growth and development of aquatic crustaceans, shrimp and crabs, and is the main raw material of "ecdysone". The product is suitable for the artificial cultivation of shrimp, crab and other aquatic crustaceans and ground worms. After adding the product, the shrimp and crab can be successfully dehusked, promote the consistency of shrimp and crab dehusking, effectively avoid the mutual killing between individuals, and significantly improve the survival rate of aquaculture and commodity specifications.
Cosmetic application
In cosmetics, the general use is after special treatment of high purity ecdysone hormone also called "ecdyssterone", a pure white crystalline powder or colorless transparent crystal, single composition, no allergic reaction to the skin, with strong permeability, in the liquid state can be quickly absorbed by the skin; Can enhance cell metabolism and activation of effective substances, with good exfoliation, whitening effect, facial melasma, traumatic dark spots, freckles, melanosis and other good repair effect, and acne also has obvious effect. It is far superior to any product currently on the market in promoting the synthesis of collagen.
It has been confirmed by research and testing that it is used as a natural cosmetic ingredient because of its effective effect of promoting the division and growth of skin dermis cells, promoting metabolism, and enhancing collagen synthesis. Its main effect is to make skin rejuvenated, stronger, richer and more delicate.
Ecdysterone vs. Turkesterone
Firstly, both of these compounds are ecdysteroids and have very similar molecular structures.Turkesterone and Ecdysterone are both marketed and used as muscle building supplements. Both compounds are supported by research to have anabolic properties and to be effective for accelerating muscle growth.
Although Ecdysteroids have a similar molecular structure to testosterone, they do not bind to androgen receptors or unnaturally augment hormonal levels. Consequently, Ecdysteroids, such as Turkesterone and Ecdysterone, do not cause suppression or hormonal disharmony. Therefore, supplementing these natural compounds will not increase the risk of hormone shut down, gynecomastia, hair loss or blood clotting.
Turkesterone is a bioactive compound found in certain thistle-like plants that grows in Central Asia. It has a long history of use in traditional medicine for its anabolic and adaptogenic effects.
Turkesterone is similar to ecdysterone because both are natural phytoecdysteroids. They are derived from the same plants and used for similar purposes, including to enhance exercise performance and put on muscle mass.
Research suggests that both of these compounds are typically effective, but testimonials seem to indicate that turkesterone may be a bit more potent. (It's pricer, to0.)
There's evidence that turkesterone can help increase one's muscle-to-fat ratio, increase glycogen concentrations in muscles and increase ATP synthesis that can help your body remove lactic acid so you recover from workouts better.
