Myostatin is a protein that regulates muscle growth by suppressing muscle fiber size and number. Epicatechin has been found to inhibit myostatin signaling, thereby allowing for greater muscle protein synthesis and hypertrophy. By blocking myostatin's inhibitory effects, epicatechin promotes muscle growth and development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also supports protein synthesis, a process by which new proteins are built within muscle cells. By promoting the rate of protein synthesis, epicatechin promotes the growth and repair of muscle tissue. This effect is particularly beneficial during periods of resistance training or exercise, as it helps optimize muscle adaptation and recovery.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIt supports skeletal muscle contractility and force production via calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Epicatechin also promotes mitochondrial biogenesis and function, leading to improved energy production and endurance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEpicatechin supports the body’s ability to produce nitric oxide (NO) via endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). NO functions as a potent vasodilator, relaxing the smooth muscle cells in blood vessels and improving blood flow. Increased NO production supports endothelial function, and may contribute to cardiovascular health and overall cognitive function\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eEpicatechin exerts its antioxidant effects through multiple mechanisms. It acts as a free radical scavenger, directly neutralizing harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS). Additionally, epicatechin upregulates endogenous antioxidant defense systems by enhancing the activity of enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"InfiniWell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41590427156578,"sku":"epicatechin","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9327\/1394\/files\/ScreenShot2025-04-11at1.36.58PM.png?v=1761935302","url":"https:\/\/digestivewarrior.com\/en-gb\/products\/epicatechin-by-infiniwell","provider":"Digestive Warrior","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
