Beta Ecdysterone is an active substance extracted from Cyanotis arachnoidea.According to the purity of different white, gray white, light yellow or light brown crystalline powder.Widely used in aquaculture, health care, cosmetics,  industries.

Ecdysterone and other ecdysteroids are marketed as ingredients in nutritional supplements for various sports, particularly bodybuilding.

A comprehensive study, designed to find any strength or athletic improvement from 20-hydroxyecdysone was published in 2006. The study looked for improvement in actual exercises performed and tested for improvements/increases in chemical indicators such as body composition and free/available .

20-Hydroxyecdysone and other ecdysteroids are used in biochemistry research as inducers in transgenic animals, whereby a new gene is introduced into an animal so that its expression is under the control of an introduced ecdysone receptor.

Adding or removing ecdysteroids from the animal's diet then gives a convenient way to turn the inserted gene on or off. At usual doses, 20-hydroxyecdysone appears to have little or no effect on animals that do not have extra genes inserted; it also has high bioavailability when taken orally, so it is useful for determining whether the transgene has been taken up effectively. For uses in gene therapy, it may be necessary to investigate more thoroughly the natural sources of ecdysteroids in humans.There is some in vitro evidence to show that 20-hydroxyecdysone has effects on some kinds of blood cells such as lymphocytes and neutrophils, and may act as an immunomodulator.

Beta Ecdysterone promoted glutenin synthesis, prevented arrhythmia, and maintained fatigue.
Beta Ecdysterone flushes cholesterol from the body.
Beta Ecdysterone lowers blood fat and prevents blood sugar from rising properly
Beta Ecdysterone activated the blood vessels properly, dehumidifying and relieving pain.

Health care application:

Beta Ecdysterone can promote the synthesis of collagen protein to fight arrhythmia and fatigue.Promote cell growth stimulate dermal cell division, eliminate the body's cholesterol;Lowering blood lipid and inhibiting the rise of blood glucose;Tongjing activating collaterals, dehumidification and analgesia, is a natural anti-cancer preparation to treat different symptoms of rheumatism and arthritis patients have a better effect. In the case of sports supplements, Beta Ecdysterone is not only healthy but also safe, with no side effects, no interaction with hormones, and extremely low levels of toxicity.

Farming Application:

In silkworm breeding, Beta Ecdysterone is used to shorten the age of silkworm, tidy the tuft, and promote the spinning and cocooning. Beta Ecdysterone is a necessary substance for the growth and development of molting metamorphosis of aquatic crustaceans, shrimps and crabs.This product is suitable for the artificial breeding of crustaceans and ground worms of aquatic products such as shrimp and crab. After adding this product, it can make shrimp and crab unshell smoothly, promote the consistency of unshell of shrimp and crab, effectively avoid the mutual killing between individuals, and significantly improve the survival rate of breeding and commercial specifications.
