Anyone use ecdysterone?

Is that the same company that makes that Ecyd-bol shit too & all the other things to fake people into wasting their money at GNC?

Yup -----> the company you speak of is called: Pinnacle.

The claims in their advertisements approach a scale the size of those made by Muscletech.
 
Actually, I think ecdysterone has major potential. The problem is that the doses you get with supplemental forms of ecdysterone supplements on the market are much, much lower that the doses that exhibit "steroid like" effects in human studies.

However, the supplement companies claim that their studies have shown that their doses do result in an increase in nitrogen retention. But hell, they will claim anything to make a buck.
 
Ecdysterone is useless, to humans at least. As marky pointed out it is an insect hormone - and the only studies I have seen done on anything but insects indicated that it had no effect on mammals, or anything that was not a insect.

It was picked up by some supplement companies with the science rooting from some old, and seriously flawed, Russian studies that were done in the 50's - not very trustworthy sources.

+ ecdysterone has been used as a pesticide in the past and there are no long term studies on its safety.
