Myostatin Inhibitors
Myostatin is a protein that negatively regulates muscle growth. At a certain point, myostatin is released to prevent muscle from getting "too big." Interestingly, a specific sulfo-polysaccharide extract (CSP-3) cultured from algae has been discovered, in the laboratory, to bind to the myostatin protein and prevent myostatin from keeping muscles smaller. If this supplement can bind to the myostatin protein in the body, it could neutralize the inhibition that the myostatin protein puts on new muscle growth. However, no one knows whether or not this actually happens. Just because a compound binds to myostatin in a laboratory experiment done outside of the body doesn't mean that it will survive digestion, find the skeletal muscle, make it into the muscle, and bind to the myostatin protein in the muscle. Until more research is done, we suggest skipping this one, especially since myostatin is found in the heart as well as skeletal muscle.
Nitric Oxide Boosters
Nitric oxide (NO) is a free radical gas produced in the body from the breakdown of the amino acid arginine. The primary function of NO is to relax smooth muscle, like the kind in your blood vessels. In doing so, NO can decrease blood pressure, increase bloodflow |
