Ecdysterone Sportlab 60 capsules
Ecdysterone Sportlab provides 100 mg ecdysterone per capsule (200 mg per daily dose) from spinach extract – a non-doping-classified plant sterol for those who want to build muscle. Ecdysterone is an anabolic plant compound associated with increased muscle mass and strength, with no link to testosterone at all.
How it works
Ecdysterone is a plant sterol that occurs naturally in certain plants and is one of the most common hormones in arthropods. Recent human studies show that the group taking ecdysterone experienced a significant increase in muscle mass and better results in 1RM bench press compared with the control group. The mechanism is thought to be that ecdysterone binds to estrogen receptors (ER) and thereby promotes higher levels of the hormone IGF-1, which is linked to muscle growth. Ecdysterone therefore does not raise testosterone – it works via a completely different pathway.

Frequently asked questions
What is ecdysterone?
Ecdysterone is a plant sterol found naturally in spinach, among other plants. It is studied for its anabolic effect on muscle mass and strength and works via estrogen receptors and IGF-1 – not via testosterone.
Is ecdysterone legal?
Yes. Ecdysterone is currently not on WADA's prohibited list and may be used freely by competitive athletes. WADA has investigated the substance, so always check the current status before competing.
Does ecdysterone raise testosterone?
No. Ecdysterone is not a testosterone booster. The anabolic effect is thought to work via estrogen receptors and increased IGF-1 levels, without binding to androgen receptors.
What is the dosage?
Two tablets once a day, giving 200 mg ecdysterone per daily dose.
How does it differ from Tongkat Ali?
Tongkat Ali is used as a natural testosterone booster, while ecdysterone is an anabolic plant sterol that acts on muscle growth without affecting testosterone. They therefore have completely different purposes.
Are there any side effects?
Ecdysterone is considered well tolerated and no serious side effects are known at the recommended dose. Consult a doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a medical diagnosis or take medication. For questions about your health, contact healthcare services via 1177.se.
