Myostat blockers

[bamafan]

I have seen a few ads for so called myostat blockers in products such as Myoblast. These blockers supposedly block the limitation our genetics place on the amount of muscle we produce. The research mainly points to some muscle bound mice who were injected with this stuff. They claim the results can be the same in humans.

I also read an article claiming that if this stuff could really do what it said a big chemical company would have this stuff in front of the FDA and make a fortune in the medical market.

Has anyone tryed this stuff? It is a novel idea. A product that helps us gain muscle and lose body fat at the same time.

Sounds 2good2BTrue.

I tried the Cytodyne Myoblast CSP-3 I did an 8 week cycle, I gained about 8 lbs only noticed a slight change in definition, once off the cycle lost the weight pretty quickly, didn't see a dramatic transformation like the individuals in the advertisements, but does anybody? Everybody is different and what doesn't work for me may work for you, I liked the NO2 product and some think it doesn't work so you just have to test it out for yourself. Hope this helps.

As a lab researcher I can assure you that anyone claiming that their product will work on humans based on mice studies is a quack. We use mice as a first starter because the general rule is if it kills them then we probably don’t want to move up to the next step, moneys or humans. If it doesn’t kill them and it does perform as we hoped on mice this still isn’t a green light. Compounds that work on mice physiology very often don’t work on human physiology and occasionally have sever adverse effects.

And what is more telling is as you mentioned they never moved up to the next phase of testing, moneys or humans which says they may have already gotten some signs that this product would be adverse in primates.

Not to say this product doesn’t work, just that mice tests prove nothing.
