The first, well designed study on Ecdysterone use in athletes is in.
And far from being a scammer, it seems I was well ahead of the curve on this one.
Complete Vindication
Ecdy does in fact exert a performance enhancing effect, in particular more muscle and strength.
German researchers come to this conclusion in a human study conducted at the request of the Wada.
The researchers divided 46 young men into 4 groups. Three groups trained with weights during the 10-week trial. One group of students took a placebo [PL], two others used a supplement with ecdysterone. A fourth group of men used ecdysterone, but did not exercise [CO].
A group of men who exercised the recommended dose of 2 capsules of Peak Ecdysone per day [Ec1], which amounts to 12 milligrams of ecdysterone per day. The men who did not train also took this dose. Another group of physically active men took 8 capsules of Peak Ecdysone [Ec2] daily. That amounts to 48 milligrams ecdysterone per day.
The subjects who used the ecdysterone supplement and worked out with weights built up more muscle mass than the subjects who trained with weights and took placebo. The higher dose in particular proved to be effective. The test subjects gained 2 kilos of muscle mass in those groups.
“This project demonstrates the performance-enhancing effect of ecdysterone in humans,” the researchers write.
I’ve been saying it for the better part of 25 years: ecdysterone worked.
And just like your email, I was crucified for it.
The important thing is this: People who put their trust in me and follow my advice got results. They didn’t’ need a university study to tell them that.
This will be the first of many by the way, so expect to see a flood of new ecdysterone products on the market.
Just remember you heard it here first.
