A key ingredient in this group of ingredients is Beta Ecdysterone. Studies conducted in the Soviet Union suggest Beta Ecdysterone helps “increase hepatic protein synthesis and subsequently promote positive nitrogen balance.”

V. Smetanin, researcher of the Smolensk State Medical Institute in Russia speculates that Beta Ecdysterone achieves this by decreasing urea concentration in the body and increases hemoglobin levels by increasing a process called erythropoiesis. Erythropoiesis is the development of mature red blood cells. This leads to a stimulation of the anabolic process in protein metabolism, which in turn leads to a positive nitrogen balance in the body. A positive nitrogen balance, or more nitrogen, equals more muscular gains.
