Epicatechin

Epicatechin is a bioactive compound classed as a flavonol, a plant based phytochemical which is found in a number of foods in trace amounts, including green tea and most famously, dark chocolate.

Epicatechin has been the subject of several studies that have uncovered a host of physiological benefits, including:

• Enhancing muscle growth and strength naturally via a novel pathway
• Increasing nitric oxide production for improved vascularity, blood flow and endurance
• Improving insulin sensitivity, regulating blood sugar levels and stimulating muscle protein synthesis
• Lowering cholesterol levels due to its natural antioxidant properties
• Improving brain and heart health

These far-reaching benefits make epicatechin a worthwhile addition to your supplement arsenal whether you’re looking to build muscle, burn fat or increase your athletic performance, and because it’s non-hormonal, epicatechin can be used by both men and women with no side effects.
