Myostatin inhibitor long term, any issues?

[skyline999]

Is it ok to take this long term?

... what is it that you're taking? Loads of things inhibit myostatin

 

[Smont]

No1 really knows the answer because nothing we have available to us lowers myostatin enough to see much difference like a myostatin deficincy. Anabolic steroids lower myostatin and ppl stay on them for years at a time. Creatine lowers myo and some ppl take it year round 24/7/365

But myostatin deficient animals have shorter lifespans, i cant say what that meqns for humans

I read on here some ppl saying using long term myostatin inhibitors isn’t good hence why I asked.

I found for the first few weeks the endurance aspect is very pronounced, but levelled off after 6 or so weeks. Didn't notice anything towards muscle growth but I would say its more of a health product than an anabolic/test booster

I look at it as a product that helps me more quickly recover. Or at least that has been the main benefit i've received from using it.

I actually found it made my recovery longer, purely because I was able to do significantly more volume due to the endurance boost

I might be wrong but i think potbelly is talking about myistatin inhibitor drugs, which is also what i thought op was talking about origionally. Not a specific natural supplement like were talking about now that also has myostatin inhibiting effects.

Myostatin inhibitors? Sure maybe the absurd claims or promises, but some of the products that tangentially hit this can be useful even if that isn't your main goal.

Increased work capacity over time = increased growth potential.

Maybe in the short term, I find with it that the increased work leads to greater increases in work capacity long term, which in turn lead to greater overall recovery or abilities to handle higher volumes.

ive had no issues, ive used epi-plex ( 600mg in caps for 6-7months when it came out ) along with my cousin who reported no ill side effects.

Yeah, I would like to think that too bc otherwise, that post is very uncharacteristic of him. I wish he would edit and clarify.

Epicatechin Gel, or Epi-Plex capsules, can be used for as long as you'd like.

I use them as part of my general health regimen because in addition to the workout related and physique benefits, its the best thing I've ever used for muscular endurance and its also great for cardiovascular and endothelial health.

I think a lot of us hear myostatin and think of the Belgian blue bulls and the drugs that got overhyped and left people with Ridiculous expectations that make steroids look like skittles. Im guessing he was thinking about stuff like that
