Estradiol is the strongest form of estrogen in the human body, effecting several organs. Estradiol enters cells freely and interacts with a cytoplasmic target cell receptor (ER alpha and ER beta). When the estrogen receptor has bound its ligand it can enter the nucleus of the target cell and regulate gene transcription which leads to formation of messenger RNA. The mRNA interacts with ribosomes to produce specific proteins that express the effect of estradiol upon the target cell. Epistane works by binding and deactivating the ER beta so that no estrodiol-elicited effects can be carried out in the cell. In the case of breast tissue ER beta is the primary target receptor responsible for growth and proliferation. Epistane binds to the ER beta and not only disables the receptor from binding to estradiol, it actually puts the cell in an estrogen deprived state, which decreases the cells viability and leads to a decrease in size and eventual cell death. Other SERMs also block the ER beta receptor and AI’s even block the formation of Estradiol from testosterone conversion. However, the effectiveness at the receptor and long term side effects vary. Epistane has been shown to have one of the strongest and longest effects at the binding site, with minimal side effects when compared to other anti-estrogens.
Epistane - Increasing Lean Body Mass
Epistane also binds to androgen receptors located on skeletal muscle cells and muscle stem cells. This then leads to changes in muscle cell function and protein synthesis. In the case of muscle stem cells, they will actually change and fuse with your active adult skeletal muscles increasing the muscles potential for growth and repair. On the opposing side, the presence of androgens actually decreases the ability of stem cells to form new fat cells. So you now have increased stem cell conversion to muscle cells and decreased stem cell conversion to fat cells, giving you more positive effects out of your nutrition and training.
Stacking Options:
We suggest combining Epistane with a product from our liver support category for overall health. For enhanced gains, run this with Activate Xtreme which by binding to SHGB will enhance the effectiveness of the Epistane. Post cycle we recommend combining Epistane with Lean Xtreme and Activate Xtreme to help sustain the muscle gains.
