If you want some guidelines, quantities of up to 1g/kg of bodyweight per day has been studied as both effective for muscle growth and safe (no toxicity). Personally I just put a large handful of it into my post-workout smoothies.If you want to get the anabolic benefits of a higher dose of ecdysteroids, I recommend adding a beta ecdysterone supplement to the whole spinach you eat (remember there are MANY other nutrients you get from whole spinach, so don't take a supplement INSTEAD of it). If you want a specific product recommendation, I take this one (no, they're not a sponsor, I didn't get paid to recommend it, and I pay full price for it myself. It is an Amazon product though, so I receive a small commission at no extra cost to you if you use my link 🙏)Research Studies:1) Ecdysteroids as non-conventional anabolic agent: performance enhancement by ecdysterone supplementation in humans2) Ecdysteroids: A novel class of anabolic agents?3) The effect of spinach supplementation on exercise-induced oxidative stress4) A 12-Week Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial, Evaluating the Effect of Supplementation with a Spinach Extract on Skeletal Muscle Fitness in Adults...More Science-Based Nutrition & Supplementation Content:1) Techniques, Principles & Theory section of the All-Access MembershipsMahalo for listening! 🤙🏼-Michael
