ALPHA FOLLISTATIN 344
Follistatin is fascinating protein that can increase muscle mass beyond natural potential by suppressing myostatin. Scientists first identified follistatin while examining porcine (re: pig) follicular fluid in the ovaries. [1]
Follistatin is naturally found in the skeletal muscle of almost all mammals with advanced or developed characteristics, such as humans, rodents, and cows. Follistatin is high in the non-essential amino acid cystine but unlike most proteins discussed in the fitness world, follistatin has carbohydrates attached to it. [2]
Follistatin, specifically Follistatin 344 (FS344), quickly gained popularity in the bodybuilding community as a potential supplement to rapidly increase lean tissue mass. Another protein, follistatin-related gene (FLRG) acts on similar pathways as FS344 regarding its muscle building properties. Increased lean tissue mass could give a bodybuilder an advantage in a competitive setting and be the differentiating factor between first and second place.
DOSAGE & INSTRUCTION
Follistatin 344 comes in powdered form and has to be reconstituted i.e. mixed with a suitable diluent before it can be used. Once mixed, it must be stored in the fridge and used within seven days. Follistatin 344 is taken via an injection into the muscle that you wish to build. Follistatin 344 should be cycled over a period of ten days. Though one ten-day cycle can work effectively for three months. One dosage of Follistatin 344 can be anywhere between 100 to 300 micrograms. Different athletes have different experiences with the dosage, and you should tweak it according to your body, and not just follow others experience.
Also, it has been suggested to add peptides along with Follistatin 344 in order to improve the results. Some of the peptides that can be added or stacked are:
-
-
- IGF-1 LR3
- IGF-1 DES
- PEG-MGF
- MGF
- LGD-4033
- Ostarine
- SARMs S4
- Hexarelin
- Ipamorelin
- GHRP-6
-
Dosage for a 10-day cycle:
Day 1: Split bilaterally into the muscle you want to bring up the most: 300mcg.
Day 3: Split bilaterally into the muscle you want to bring up the most: 200mcg.
Day 5: Split bilaterally into the muscle you want to bring up the most: 200mcg.
Day 7: Split bilaterally into the muscle you want to bring up the most: 300mcg.
The muscle building effects can last for up to 3 months afterward, slowly diminishing.
