Fitness is a unique field defined by its near constant change. It's true that some athletes push the envelope with training techniques and performance enhancing drugs. But it's also bred a new class of athlete willing to reevaluate and reestablish natural compounds to level the playing field. One such compound is Epicatechin.
Epicatechin is a very specific bioactive compounds that yield benefits to one's fitness. In fact, it's thought of by many as the perfect bodybuilding compound. It increases nitric oxide levels in the blood. This increases blood flow and circulation around the body which increases oxygen and nutrient delivery. Increased oxygen and nutrient delivery can have a positive effect on athletic performance, endurance, recovery and growth.
Unfortunately, as we age, myostatin levels rise and follistatin levels decline, which is one of the many reasons why older individuals have a harder time building muscle. But, recent research has shown that ingestion of epicatechin has led to significant changes in the follistatin-myostatin ratio
The mechanism that Epicatechin does this by is simple. Epicatechin causes increases in nitric oxide by inhibiting the process that breaks down nitric oxide in the blood. The less nitric oxide that is broken down means more is will be available.
Epicatechin is suggested to be a Myostatin inhibitor, which also means it upregulates Follistatin. Myostatin acts a regulator/ suppressor for muscle growth, limiting how much we grow. Follistatin promotes muscle growth as it hinders the signaling of myostatin. Myostatin and Follistatin work together in ratio, so Epicatechin throws this off. Myostatin inhibitors are extremely sought after as they are considered the best natural muscle building supplements.
Epicatechin can be taken at any time of the day as it doesn’t have any kind of stimulatory effect. To maximize the effects of the increased nitric oxide levels, taking Epicatechin pre-workout would benefit the athlete. A typical dosage of 200-300mg works well, especially when taken all at once.
BODY ESSENTIALS Epicatechin is composed of the cleanest and purest Epicatechin available on the market. We have maximized the dose for the best results without the typical side effects of high dosed epicatechin supplements. The ideal dose of Epicatechin per day is 300mg total which is what BODY ESSENTIALS Epicatechin is dosed at!
** Increases in nitric oxide levels can be seen 30-60 minutes after ingestion.
** Increases in strength and muscular endurance take 7-10 days to become apparent.
** Increases in size are usually noted within 30 days given an adequate increase in calories.

Vitamin C (as Ascorbic Acid)
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a vital role in many bodily functions. It is essential for the growth, development, and repair of all body tissues. This includes its critical role in collagen formation, immune system support, wound healing, and maintenance of cartilage, bones, and teeth. Additionally, Vitamin C functions as a powerful antioxidant, helping to protect cells from the damage caused by free radicals and supporting the regeneration of other antioxidants like Vitamin E. It also enhances the body’s ability to absorb non-heme iron from plant-based sources, reducing the risk of iron deficiency anemia.
“Vitamin C is required for the biosynthesis of collagen, L-carnitine, and certain neurotransmitters; it is also involved in protein metabolism. Vitamin C is also an important physiological antioxidant and has been shown to regenerate other antioxidants within the body, including alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E).”

Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6, also known as pyridoxine, is a water-soluble vitamin that supports a wide range of essential physiological functions in the human body. It plays a central role in metabolism, brain development, and immune function. Vitamin B6 is crucial for converting food into energy by helping enzymes break down proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It also supports the production of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and GABA—chemicals vital for mood regulation, sleep, and cognitive function. Additionally, it helps make hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body, and is essential for maintaining healthy nerve function and immune responses.
“Vitamin B6 is involved in more than 100 enzyme reactions, mostly concerned with protein metabolism. Vitamin B6 also is involved in brain development during pregnancy and infancy as well as immune function.”

⚡️ 1. Beta-Alanine
Beta-alanine is a non-essential amino acid that contributes to the synthesis of carnosine in skeletal muscle. Carnosine acts as a buffer against acid buildup during intense physical activity, particularly in anaerobic conditions. Research indicates beta-alanine may influence muscular fatigue thresholds during short-duration, high-intensity efforts.
“Beta-alanine supplementation increases the concentration of carnosine in muscles, thereby acting as an intracellular buffer during high-intensity exercise.”
