I'm trying to read up specifically on (-)-epicatechin but every search I do generally pulls up lots of results for other types of catechins and epicatechins.

Apart from the myostatin inhibition, what other metabolic and hormonal effects are there? Anything in particular jump out in terms of T/E/prolactin/cortisol/DHT/Thyroid/etc. of note?

Brundel (the maker of follidrone) has posted plenty of studies. Check the BLR company page and look up the announcement thread. All the info you need

Not so sure brundel is going to let this out. He is keeping everything close to the chest since several companies are coming out with products with the same ingredient. Again check the thread or PM brundel

Possible MAO-B inhibitor and adiponectin upregulator.

I havnt seen any indication it effects the HPTA in any significant way.
THere is no study Im aware of pointing to an increase in prolactin or thyroid suppression.

It has a different MOA than a steroid so many of the concerns you would commonly have do not apply.
