Well-known member
i know this questions been asked befor but i want to know more, are there any myostatin blockers that work?
 
from what i have been reading its still only being done in mice. But i may be wrong at that though.
 
thats what im reading too, wouldnt it be f*cking awesome if they worked for humans!!!
you would look like the cows with the myostatin genes......HUGE!

There are no FDA approved myostatin inhibitors and certainly no viable supplements. MYO-029 reached Stage II clinical trials but the results did not pan out. There's at least a half dozen other potential inhibitors in various stages of trial, though mostly still confined to animal testing. Speculation that a viable product may exist in 5 years and of course this would trickle down into the gray market research chems.
 
There's been some talk about a supp called "Folstaxan" by Celldyne BioPharma but its expensive,never in stock,and I dont know of any logs on it.
 
The only source presently being promoted as a myostatin inhibitor is called Cytoseira canariensis, which is found in a specific marine algae.



Anyone read that before? Are there any supps that contain this?

Don't get excited... that stuff is a scam.

Effects of an alleged myostatin-binding supplement and heavy resistance training on serum myostatin, muscle strength and mass, and body composition.

Willoughby DS.
Exercise and Biochemical Nutrition Laboratory, Dept of Health, Human Performance, and Recreation, Baylor University, Waco, TX 76798-7313, USA.
This study examined 12 wk of resistance training and cystoseira canariensis supplementation on serum levels of myostatin and follistatin-like related gene (FLRG) and muscle strength and body composition. Twenty-two untrained males were randomly assigned to a placebo (PLC) or myostatin binder (MYO) group in a double-blind fashion. Blood was obtained before and after 6 and 12 wk of training. PLC and MYO trained thrice weekly using 3 sets of 6 to 8 repetitions at 85 % to 90 % 1 repetition maximum. MYO ingested 1200 mg/d of cystoseira canariensis. Data were analyzed with 2-way ANOVA. After training, total body mass, fat-free mass, muscle strength, thigh volume/mass, and serum myostatin and FLRG increased for both groups (P < 0.05); however, there were no differences between groups (P > 0.05). Twelve wk of heavy resistance training and 1200 mg/d of cystoseira canariensis supplementation appears ineffective at inhibiting serum myostatin and increasing muscle strength and mass or decreasing fat mass.
