Closing Notes Let me explain: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ๐ถ 1. How does DARK CHOCOLATE boost MUSCLE GROWTH? Well, it's because it is a MAJOR source of EPICATECHIN. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ๐ซ 2. What IS Epicatechin? - Epicatechin is a type of flavonoid ๐, which is a class of COMPOUNDS with ANTIOXIDANT properties found in various foods (a major source being DARK CHOCOLATE). - These ANTIOXIDANT ๐ฟ properties help neutralize FREE RADICALS in the body and reduces OXIDATIVE STRESS. - It also PROMOTES cardiovascular health ๐ by improving BLOOD FLOW and reducing BLOOD PRESSURE through increased NITRIC OXIDE production. Now, a HIGHLY important function of Epicatechin is that it INHIBITS MYOSTATIN. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ๐งช 3. What IS Myostatin? - MYOSTATIN, also known as growth differentiation factor 8 (GDF-8) is a protein ๐งฌ that regulates muscle growth ๐ช by inhibiting muscle differentiation and cell proliferation. - Essentially, it INHIBITS MUSCLE GROWTH. - Encoded by the MSTN gene, MYOSTATIN BINDS to the activin receptor type IIB (ActRIIB) on MUSCLE cells, initiating a signaling cascade that activates SMAD proteins, ultimately reducing the synthesis of proteins necessary for muscle growth. ๐งช
