Description

Ekdisten 5mg – 100 Tablets

Ekdisten is a plant-derived supplement containing ecdysteroids, traditionally used to enhance physical performance, stimulate protein synthesis, and support recovery in athletes and active individuals. It is not a pharmaceutical antihypertensive agent and should not be confused with angiotensin II receptor blockers. The following description provides accurate and scientifically-aligned information about the real Ekdisten product used in sports and adaptogenic supplementation.

Composition

• Active Ingredient: Ecdysterone (Ekdisten) – 5 mg per tablet
• Other Ingredients: Lactose, magnesium stearate, starch, microcrystalline cellulose

Description

Ekdisten is an adaptogenic anabolic supplement extracted from *Leuzea carthamoides* (Maral root), standardized to contain ecdysterone, a natural phytosteroid. It is used for improving endurance, muscle recovery, and protein synthesis without hormonal side effects. Each box contains 100 tablets of 5 mg.

Mechanism of Action

Ecdysterone is structurally similar to androgens but acts on estrogen beta receptors and through non-hormonal anabolic pathways. It enhances nitrogen retention and protein synthesis, particularly in skeletal muscles. It supports faster recovery and increased lean muscle mass, especially in athletes under physical stress.

Ekdisten is indicated for:

• Increasing muscle strength and physical endurance
