For those of you taking ND’s beta-ecdysterone:

- Have you noticed any tangible improvements to health markers? I.e., strength adaptions, rate of hypertrophy, recovery, or changes to bloodwork.
- Do you combine doses with other supplements or specific foods?
- Pre or post workout?
- Anyone experienced sides or cognitive effects?
Personally, I have been supplementing post workout with Schisandra and meal high in protein.
It’s too early to ascertain any impact it is or is not having as have only been supplementing a week, although I am aware numerous members of the community have been using ecdysterone for sometime now and would be interested to hear reports.

This is very interesting, as I’ve mentioned in a previous post I’ve been trying to recover from forearm tendinitis over the past month.
I’m now able to workout to approx 90% of my previous capacity and since supplementing ecdysterone the level of injury aggravation seems to be reduced.
This may also be a direct consequence of MAS receptor activation.
That said, I’m using a number of other compounds & techniques to enhance recovery, deep tissue massage has been particularly beneficial. Unfortunately, this makes it quite difficult for me to determine how much ecdysterone itself is assisting.
Slightly niche topic, but would be interested to hear more on ecdysterone’s impacts upon joints & ligaments.

That's really cool! I don't think there is a lot of data out there on beta-ecdysterone/20-hydroxyecdysone on ligaments and tendons.
