How It Works

Follistatin-344 is a recombinant form of human follistatin, a glycoprotein that binds and neutralizes myostatin โ€” the protein that limits muscle growth. By inhibiting myostatin and activin signaling, follistatin removes the natural brake on muscle hypertrophy. It has been extensively studied in gene therapy trials for muscular dystrophy and muscle wasting conditions.

Research Highlights

๐Ÿ“„Binds and neutralizes myostatin (muscle growth inhibitor)
๐Ÿ“„Gene therapy trials for Becker muscular dystrophy showed muscle improvements
๐Ÿ“„Animal studies showed dramatic muscle hypertrophy
๐Ÿ“„Also inhibits activin, affecting FSH and reproductive function
๐Ÿ“„Multiple isoforms exist (315, 344, 288) with different tissue distributions

Available Forms

  • Lyophilized powder for injection

Research Dosing

Research protocols typically use 100mcg-1mg subcutaneous. Due to its large size and cost, careful dosing is important. Short cycling protocols are common.
