πΆ 1. How does DARK CHOCOLATE boost MUSCLE GROWTH?
Well, it's because it is a MAJOR source of EPICATECHIN.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
π« 2. What IS Epicatechin?
- Epicatechin is a type of flavonoid π, which is a class of COMPOUNDS with ANTIOXIDANT properties found in various foods (a major source being DARK CHOCOLATE).
- These ANTIOXIDANT πΏ properties help neutralize FREE RADICALS in the body and reduces OXIDATIVE STRESS.
- It also PROMOTES cardiovascular health π by improving BLOOD FLOW and reducing BLOOD PRESSURE through increased NITRIC OXIDE production.
Now, a HIGHLY important function of Epicatechin is that it INHIBITS MYOSTATIN.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
π§ͺ 3. What IS Myostatin?
- MYOSTATIN, also known as growth differentiation factor 8 (GDF-8) is a protein 𧬠that regulates muscle growth πͺ by inhibiting muscle differentiation and cell proliferation.
- Essentially, it INHIBITS MUSCLE GROWTH.
- Encoded by the MSTN gene, MYOSTATIN BINDS to the activin receptor type IIB (ActRIIB) on MUSCLE cells, initiating a signaling cascade that activates SMAD proteins, ultimately reducing the synthesis of proteins necessary for muscle growth. π§ͺ
- Myostatin tries to make sure that muscles do not grow excessively.
Now, if we want to INCREASE our muscle growth, we will have to try REDUCE/INHIBIT myostatin. How do we do that?
REMEMBER: EPICATECHIN INHIBITS MYOSTATIN! AND EPICATECHIN COMES FROM DARK CHOCOLATE! π«
This means that we should start consuming DARK CHOCOLATE to BOOST our muscle growth.
However, what is the "OPTIMAL" amount?

𧬠4. The OPTIMAL Dark Chocolate Muscle Booster Formula
You may be ASKING "How much dark chocolate do I NEED to BOOST MUSCLE GROWTH?" π€
Well, I've got a FORMULA here for you which I'll EXPLAIN:
THE FORMULA:
GRAMS of DARK CHOCOLATE you should HAVE for MYOSTATIN INHIBITION EACH DAY!:
- (1.00 - % dark chocolate + 1) x kg bw
So for example:
- Let's say, you have 95% cocoa dark chocolate. Let's say you're also about 70kg in bodyweight (just an example) The formula would be like this:
- And the final answer is about 73.5 grams.
β¨ For OPTIMAL Myostatin INHIBITION and BETTER MUSCLE GROWTH!
Then you get the amount of GRAMS you should have of DARK CHOCOLATE!
For INHIBITION of MYOSTATIN and BETTER MUSCLE GROWTH!

π 5. Closing Notes
There's NO POINT reading this GUIDE if you're NOT going to TAKE ACTION. π
π― So, here's your ACTIONABLE STEP:
- Each DAY: consume _ grams of DARK CHOCOLATE with the formula (1.00 - % dark chocolate + 1) x kg bw
