Does epicatechin blunt muscle building effects of lifting?

I came across this study earlier today that says that Epicatechin reduces igf-1 probably by turning on AMPK. Both of these functions would be negative for muscle building, correct? Should I stop taking it before my workouts? Invalid Link Removed

It’s supposed to act as a myostatin inhibitor, maybe it’s a function of myostatin reduction. I think you gotta take double what they suggest for two to three times longer than a bottle will last. Other than its antioxidant benefits I feel like it would be a huge waste of cash. I used Ep1c way back from Olymp. and stacked it with Str3ngth (Laxo) saw some good results from the stack but I was eating 5-6000 cals and Laxogenin helps with P synth and some cortisol suppression so I’m saying that was more beneficial and the Epichat helped with the endurance.
there is a product called AnaFuse that would be worth 2 bottles over a 6 week intense work and solid eating would probly be worth the $
