A

Epicatechin

Training Compounds

Mechanism

Cacao-derived flavanol that inhibits myostatin and increases follistatin, shifting the balance toward muscle growth. Also stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis and nitric oxide production. Improves grip strength and muscle recovery without being anabolic in the traditional sense.

Contraindications

  • None established
B

Velositol

Training Compounds

Mechanism

Amylopectin chromium complex marketed to amplify muscle protein synthesis signaling when combined with protein.

Contraindications

  • Limited independent evidence base
