Epicatechin Powder

 

Epicatechin powder (EC) is a flavanol that is easily obtained through diet and is found in tea, cocoa, vegetables, fruits and cereals.

The molecular structure of epicatechin has multiple reactive groups and active sites. The main active substances of epicatechin are phenols and flavonoids.

 

Research shows that epicatechin can protect human health, has significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, improves muscle performance, improves symptoms of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, prevents diabetes, protects the nervous system, strengthens metabolism, regulates immunity and anti-tumor functions.

 

The anti-tumor effect of epicatechin is to affect the circulation process of tumor cells and inhibit the cyclic growth of tumor cells. At the same time, it has a variety of spectrum antibacterial effects and is considered to have great disease prevention potential.

1. Helps you recover quickly after exercise
Epicatechin has been studied for increasing levels of nitric oxide in the body, a molecule responsible for telling our blood vessels to relax, a process known as vasodilation. Vasodilation promotes better blood flow and circulation around the body, thereby increasing the delivery of oxygen and nutrients through the blood.

 

Increased oxygen and nutrient delivery can have a huge positive impact on athletic performance. Increases in muscle endurance, strength, recovery, and growth may all be a result of increased nitric oxide levels leading to increased vasodilation.

 

2. Build muscle
Epicatechin powder is main claim to fame is its suggested ability to inhibit myostatin and thus upregulate follistatin. Myostatin acts as a regulator/inhibitor of muscle growth, limiting how much we can grow.

 

Follistatin, on the other hand, promotes muscle growth because it blocks myostatin signaling. Myostatin and follistatin work proportionally together, and as follistatin increases, the regulatory ability of myostatin is inhibited by an increase in follistatin, and vice versa.

 

3. Antioxidant
The antioxidant activity of epicatechin is thought to be due to the ability to capture chain-carrying free radicals by providing phenolic hydrogen atoms in the A and B rings, due to the presence of phenolic hydroxyl groups in the molecular structure of epicatechin, especially phthalate.

 

The ortho-position hydroxyl group in phenol or pyrogallol can be easily oxidized into an aldehyde structure, which makes it have a strong ability to capture free radicals such as reactive oxygen species, and therefore has an efficient function of scavenging free radicals and lipid free radicals.

 

 

 

4. Lower lipids and blood sugar
Obese people often develop chronic diseases such as diabetes. Studies have found that epicatechin powder alleviates insulin resistance through its redox regulatory mechanism.

 

5. Prevent cardiovascular disease
Studies have shown that the use of epicatechin can reduce the area of ​​atherosclerotic lesions while inhibiting diet-induced formation of plasma SAA and human-CRP without affecting plasma lipids.

 

At the same time, the anti-atherogenic effect of epicatechin is specific to severe injury types and has almost no effect on mild injuries, which shows that epicatechin tends to reduce severe cardiovascular disease types.

 

6. Anti-aging
Epicatechin powder is a natural oil antioxidant, and its antioxidant activity is even higher than vitamin E! And it can remove free radicals produced by the human body to protect cell membranes and help the human body better resist aging.
