Sports Food Beta Ecdysterone - Natural Muscle Growth & Weight Loss Supplement - 99% Standardized 300mg x 90 Capsules - Supports Higher Lean Muscle Mass and Weight Loss

How can a product containing 107 times less of the active ingredient vs what they claim on the label to produce any results? I paid my money for this stuff, not looking good, according to the 3rd party tests I found today.

I am a 45 yo male with low free testosterone due to high SHBG. Before taking beta ecdysterone, I often ran out of energy in the middle of a workout and could not finish it. My joints/tendons always hurt after working out and I discontinued some exercises because they were giving me a stiff neck.This is my second time taking beta ecdysterone: 3x300mg in the morning with a glass of water, no breakfast, half an hour before going to the gym. I do not take exra protein, except the meat I eat, so that any muscle size effect is entirely due to beta ecdysterone.Within a week after I started it, I noticed that my joints/tendons stopped hurting after workout. My right shoulder has a 5 years old injury and has limited range of motion so I could not put my hands without significant pain on the bar while doing squats. To my surprise, recently I am able to do that without significant pain so the flexibility of the joint has improved. Ecdysterone really should be studied for joint/tendon or arthritus/osteoporosis problems.My strength increased notably and I started lifting heavier weights. I had the endurance to finish my workouts without problem. I even started reintroducing exercises that were previously giving me joint/tendon trouble. My arms seem slightly more muscular but it is not clear if that is a direct metabolic effect of simply the result of intensified workouts. The effect is very mild so don't expect a result even remotely similar to an anabolic steroid. The previous time around, I was taking twice the dose and the effect on muscle size seems proportional to the dose.Ecdysterone is not a stimulant so you don't feel hyped on it. It also did not help reduce my body fat - I had to be careful not to eat too much sugar as usual. No change in erection, orgasm, or libido.However, ecdysterone decreased my estradiol (by 26%) and increased testosterone (by 11%) and free testosterone (by 35%):Estradiol decreased 42->31 pg/mL [range <=29]Estradiol free decreased 0.70->0.55 pg/mL [range <=0.45]SHBG did not change significantly 72 -> 69 nmol/L [range 10-50]Testosterone increased 670->746 ng/dL [range 250-1100]Testosterone free increased 62.2->84.2 pg/mL [range 35-155]It looks like adding the Beta Ecdysterone acts like an aromatase inhibitor – suppresses the conversion of testosterone to estradiol. As a result, the estradiol decreases and testosterone and free testosterone increase. All that while improving joints, unlike the typical aromatase inhibitors.

So far it's great. For whatever reason, this stuff helps reduce inflammation in my joints. I love it. I have energy and I feel stronger.

This stuff was so good that I shaved 7 strokes off my golf game!

No noticeable effect. Too much money for nothing.

Defiantly will lean you out. I take it with whey. I have seen a major difference with the first bottle and just ordered a second. Works great for me so far.

So far so good

I have only been using this product for a short time but I have seen a change in energy and stamina since taking. I feel like it gives me more moditivation to work out more often.
