The activin-binding protein Follistatin, also known as FS, is a protein found within the tissues of most animals at the highest levels. There have been connections found between test subjects that had polycystic ovarian syndrome and those suffering infertility issues, as the peptide has shown to inhibit the release of standard hormones within the body. There have also been connections found between normal levels of FS in a body and the amount of muscle each test subject showed prior to any type of experimentation.

Follistatin Basics

Follistatin-344 is myostatin inhibitor polypeptide that consists of a single chain of 344 amino acids, allowing it to perform as an activin antagonist in many different types of research experiments. This peptide inhibits the release of hormones during ovarian follicle-stimulation. This has been shown during experiments to increase lean muscle mass while bypassing added fat in numerous different types of test subjects used. The test subjects that were exposed to FS showed great increases in muscle mass that did not decrease after the exposure to FS stopped. So far, the mammals that were used during these experiments have shown a permanent growth in muscle that has no signs of deterioration or damage to the body after the exposure.

The highest amounts of FS are naturally found within the ovary of female test subjects, followed closely by the skin. This peptide has a very strong role when it comes to proliferation at the cellular level, and has shown a large amount of differentiation at the cellular level as well. These two roles are incredibly important when it comes to the repair and rebuilding of cells, and has shown a lot of promise in experiments involving continuous exposure to new and diverse peptides.

How Will You Get Your Follistatin?

You will receive your FS in a powdered form, allowing you to easily dilute what you need for your specific research purposes. This freeze-dried powder is derived from E.coli but sterilized for research purposes. It can remain stable at a standard room temperature for approximately three weeks, but it is highly recommended that all FS forms, both powdered and aqueous, be stored below -18 degrees Centigrade. After freezing, the solution should be stored at 4 degrees Centigrade until used, or up to seven days, and if not used during that time frame, it should go back to the below -18 degrees Centigrade for continued safety and purity.

DISCLAIMER: Follistatin is not to be used for any type of ingestion by humans. This research peptide is only for experimentation, and should not be purchased or used with the intention of any other use. This item is only to be used during strict experiment circumstances under direct laboratory guidelines. Researchers should use any and all forms of safety equipment during each experiment. If exposure should occur, anything exposed should be cleansed immediately to avoid harm to the researcher.

Follistatin has shown researchers a lot about muscle mass, how different test subjects hold on to that muscle mass, and what each body does to try and gain more muscle mass. The experiments involving FS are just the beginning when it comes to learning about mammalian muscle mass, and much more has the potential to be learned over the next few decades with more research. The more animals that can be learned from now, the more scientists will learn with each new experiment in the future.
