Prototype Nutrition : E Spray Epicatechin Supplements & Myostatin Inhibitors

This is a product which has not recieved quite as much attenton as it deserves, as Prototype Nutrition have really hit the nail on the head with E-Spray - the product that all physique athletes should be using!

The base ingredient of E-Spray is Epicatechin, an ingredient well known by many as being present in dark chocolate (the darker the better in terms of epicatechin content!). It belongs to the flavonoid group - compound which have clinically been found to act as a mitigation agent for chronic diseases such as Atherosclerosis, CV disease, diabetes and even potentially cancer! However in the context of the physique athlete, Epicatechin has been found to increase levels of follistatin: a protein found in muscle tissue that inhibits the actions of myostatin - a compound which reduces the amount of total body mass the individual can have. Thus, more follistatin = less myostatin = more muscle gains! Not only this, but a 2012 study unearthed the possibility that Epicatechin supplementation can act to reduce body fat, in turn acting as a powerful tool in the physique athete's arsenal. 

However, it has recently been found that oral consumption of Epicatechin may not be the best way of reaping the benefits of this ingredient - due to the liver and gut being able to deactivate and break it down, rendering it ineffective. In fact, certain studies have indiated that <5% of orally administered epicatechin reaches your circulatory system - the rest having been oxidised. In response to this major issue, Prototype Nutrition have come up with an alternative form of administration = a spray which is applied directly to the skin then absorbed. This means it can be directly inputted into the circulatory system, and the user can get the best of the benefits Epicatechin has to offer:
- enhanced muscle growth and strength
- increased production of Nitric Oxide - allowing blood vessel widening and in turn muscle endurance, pumps and nutrient delivery
- lowered cholesterol levels
- improved insulin sensitivity 
- improved brain and heart health

A product we think is destined to make a big impact on the supplement market, and one we think you definitely need to try for yourself!
