Psycho Pharma Complexed Ecdysterone 95% delivers 1,000mg of Ecdysterone extract standardized to 95%, complexed with hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin for bioavailability. Ecdysterone is a naturally occurring hormone found in plants and arthropods that shares structural resemblances with human muscle-building hormones, without acting as an androgen or affecting your own hormone production. Its main mechanism is optimizing the mRNA translation process and enhancing leucine uptake in muscle, both central to protein synthesis. Non-hormonal, so no PCT is required. Psycho Pharma publishes a third-party certificate of analysis for this product, which matters in a category where label claims have frequently failed independent testing. 120 capsules.†

Why 95% Standardization Matters
With ecdysteroids, the extract weight tells you almost nothing. What counts is how much of that extract is the actual active compound. A 95% standardization means nearly all of the 1,000mg is ecdysterone rather than plant material. This category has a documented history of products testing far below their label claims, which is why the published certificate of analysis carries real weight here.†
Cyclodextrin Complexing
Ecdysterone is poorly soluble on its own, which limits how much your body can absorb and is a large part of why lab results have not always translated to real-world outcomes. Hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin forms a molecular shell around the compound, improving solubility and absorption. It is the same delivery approach used across the better products in the plant steroid category.†
How Ecdysterone Works
Ecdysterone optimizes the mRNA translation process and enhances muscle leucine intake, the amino acid most directly responsible for triggering muscle protein synthesis. It does this without androgen receptor activity, so it does not suppress natural testosterone, convert to estrogen or DHT, or require post-cycle therapy. Research has also pointed to anti-diabetic and immune-stimulating effects beyond the muscle-building side.†
Ecdysterone or Turkesterone
Both are ecdysteroids and both are non-hormonal, but they are different compounds and people respond differently to each. Some users run one, some run the other, and some take both together. If you have tried turkesterone without much effect, ecdysterone is worth testing before writing the category off.†
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Do I need PCT?
No. Ecdysterone is non-hormonal and does not suppress your natural testosterone production.† -
Can women take it?
Yes. Because it has no androgenic activity, it carries none of the virilization concerns that come with prohormones.† -
How is this different from Complexed Turkesterone 20%?
Different ecdysteroid compounds. Ecdysterone here is standardized to 95%, turkesterone to 20%. Individual response varies, and the two can be stacked.† -
Is it allowed for tested athletes?
Ecdysterone is not currently on the WADA prohibited list, but ecdysteroids sit on WADA's monitoring program and could be restricted later. Check with your governing body.†
How to Take Psycho Pharma Complexed Ecdysterone 95%
Follow the serving directions on the bottle. Use consistently over several weeks, since ecdysteroids work cumulatively rather than acutely. For healthy adults 18 and older. Do not use if pregnant or nursing. Consult a physician before use if you have a medical condition or take medication.
