Ecdysterone + L-leucine – 300 mg of ecdysterone from maral root and 350 mg of L-leucine in one capsule

Ecdysterone + L-leucine combines two substances that are rarely found together in supplements for active individuals, yet they make perfect sense when paired. One capsule provides 350 mg of L-leucine and 300 mg of ecdysterone from a standardized extract of maral root (Rhaponticum carthamoides 35:1, 90% ecdysterone). The 35:1 extract means that 333 mg corresponds to approximately 11.7 g of root, and you receive the entire amount in a single daily capsule.

An adaptogen sought after by champions

Ecdysterone (20-hydroxyecdysone) is the most well-known phytoecdysteroid and the primary active compound in maral root, an herb from the Siberian and Altai regions that has been sought after by athletes for generations. Maral root is traditionally classified as an adaptogen, meaning plants studied in relation to the body's resilience to stress.³ Ecdysterone itself is currently one of the most closely monitored plant compounds in sports science. Some studies have examined it in the context of strength training and body composition.² It acts via a different pathway than classic androgenic substances, through the beta estrogen receptor.²

L-leucine and the mTOR signaling pathway

L-leucine is an essential amino acid and simultaneously a trigger for muscle protein synthesis. It activates the mTOR signaling pathway, which initiates this process, which is why leucine has the greatest potential among all amino acids to stimulate a muscle response.¹ These properties can benefit strength athletes, bodybuilders, CrossFit enthusiasts, endurance athletes, and other active individuals for whom efficient leucine intake is part of their daily routine.

Who is it suitable for

  • You train for strength: Leucine provides the trigger for muscle response, and ecdysterone adds a standardized extract from maral root.
  • You do CrossFit or functional training: A combination for demanding, varied training blocks.
  • You are an endurance athlete: Maral root is associated with managing stress and fatigue.
  • You want an adaptogen and leucine in one: Instead of two doses, just one capsule per day is sufficient.
  • You follow a specific dietary regimen: Also suitable for individuals using GLP-1 agonists.

How to take Ecdysterone + L-leucine

Take 1 capsule daily, ideally with a meal. On training days, it is optimal to take the capsule before or shortly after training, or as part of a meal around the training session together with proteins – leucine is most commonly taken around the time of exertion. On non-training days, take it at any time during the day, for example, in the morning with breakfast. Consistency is important, so take the supplement every day, even on rest days.
