In the USA it was circulated on the underground market for a long time, till 2001 when I partnered up with Dr. Zakir Ramazanov and introduced to USA Fitness Industry market as a dietary supplement, under the name of Ecdy-Kito, a bland of Ecdysterone and Humanofort.
Elite Russian and Bulgarian athletes have long used Rhaponticum extract to stimulate muscle growth.
According to Russian researchers the Leuzea extract stimulates muscle protein synthesis by increasing the activity of the polyribosomes. Polyribosomes are the cellular compartments where the actual protein synthesis takes place, the mixture of ecdysterones was found to be responsible for enhancement of muscle protein synthesis. The research shows that the whole extract of Rhaponticum carthamoides containing mixture of levseins possess much superior physiological activity compared with the activity of purified individual constituents (Seifulla 1999).
There are about 120 phyto-ecdysterones known, from more than 80 species of plants. Among more than dozed plant species containing ecdysterones only Rhaponticum carthamoides extract undergone through a complete human clinical trials and phytochemical research. Research pointed out that superior anabolic effect of Rhaponticum carthamoides extract is determined by content of all levseins (ecdysterones) rather than a single 20-beta-ecdysterone, which is abundant in plants outside of Rhaponticum genus.
Key active constituents responsible for specific anabolic effect of Rhaponticum carthamoides is a mixture of compounds called, "levseins". Levseins represents a complex of more than 10 ecdysterones including 20-beta-ecdysterone, makisterone C, 24-dehydromakisterone A, carthamosterone, polypodyne B and ajugasterone C. Ecdysteroids from Leuzea carthamoides.
Ecdysteroids from Leuzea carthamoides: 20-Hydroxyecdysone, 24(28)-dehydromakisterone A, makisterone C, polypodine B, ajugasterone C, together with the two new phytoecdysteroids carthamosterone and 5-deoxykaladasterone, were isolated from the roots of Leuzea carthamoides. The herb yielded 20-hydroxyecdysone, 24(28)-dehydromakisterone A, makisterone C and carthamosterone.
The examination of the difference in action between beta-ecdysterone and synthetic steroids revealed that the latter go directly to the nucleus of a cell to tell the blueprint, the DNA, to produce more RNA. Then the RNA tells the ribosome to produce more protein. Beta-ecdysterone, on the other hand, goes directly to the ribosome and increases what is called translation, the rate at which new protein is being made (Syrov et al. 1984).
Regarding Turkesterone, Turkesterone is not bed product, unfortunately most of extracts are contains very low % of standardized extract, most has 0% t0 2% and a few has 10%.
After Dr.Zakir passed I was not able to purchase the real Rhaponticum extract, till this year, I was able to partner up with a other Dr and have access to the real extract, that contains 20.3% standardized extract. My product is under the name of EcdyGrowth and will be available here on PM.
EcdyGrowth Highlights & Insights
Contains 200mg 20.3% standardized Leuzea Rhaponticum Carthamoides extract per capsule: Ecdysterone Improves translation to boost protein synthesis, ATP and carb storage in muscle, liver and heart tissue and boosts red-blood cell count while scavenging free radicals.
Humanofort: Contains all the natural FGF (fibroblast growth factors).
Research credits FGF with essentially reprogramming adult stem cells and amino acids in the body (which make up its natural repair tools). Humanofort interact with the process of digestion and provide an assistive stimulus to the Gastrointestinal Hormones Gastrin, Cholecystokinin, Secretin, Ghrelin, Motilin in such a fashion that through process molecular biology they stimulate the rate of uptake of all amino acids by a calculated margin of 18% for its half-life of four minutes by standards and deviations. These may be clinically tested by means of blood sampling.
Why EcdyGrowth ? Most all other ecdysterone supplements contain only simple powders from China, made from totally different plants (Cyanotis Vaga, for instance) or synthetic ecdysterone "isolates". In comparison, these types of ecdy are cheap, unrefined, and generally ineffectual. Worst of all, quite a number of these products falsely (mis)apply the positive studies conducted specifically on Leuzea Rhaponticum Carthamoides .
