Overview
Ecdysterone, also known as 20-Hydroxyecdysone, is a naturally occurring hormone found in plants, insects and fungi. It is active in the control of molting in insects, and therefore it has been studied for its potential health benefits, such as promoting muscle growth, increasing energy levels, improving physical performance and enhancing immunity. Ecdysterone has also been investigated for its potential anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties as well as its effects on cognitive function. It is a safe, natural supplement and is widely available in the form of tablets, capsules, and powders.
