How it works

Extensive animal research suggests potent regenerative effects on tendons, ligaments, and the GI tract. Human evidence is currently limited to small pilot studies and retrospective reviews, leaving definitive safety and efficacy unconfirmed.

Promotes angiogenesis via the VEGFR2-Akt-eNOS pathway and enhances growth hormone receptor expression in fibroblasts.

Safety

  • Not FDA approved for human use
  • WADA prohibited substance
  • Potential risk of tumor growth due to angiogenesis
  • Anecdotal reports of anhedonia (emotional blunting)
