How to Use Follistatin
Complete guide to Follistatin dosing, administration, timing, and protocol recommendations.
Quick Overview
Follistatin is a naturally occurring protein in your body whose claim to fame is shutting down myostatin, the brake that limits how much muscle you can build. Block myostatin and muscle grows, which is why follistatin has been chased hard as a therapy for muscle-wasting diseases and, less responsibly, as a physique-enhancement target. Most of the serious work uses gene therapy that tells muscle to produce follistatin, not injectable follistatin peptide, and nothing here is FDA approved.
