20-Hydroxyecdysone

20-Hydroxyecdysone (CAS 5289-74-7) is the principal bioactive ecdysteroid found in a range of plant species, notably Cyanotis vaga and Rhaponticum carthamoides. It is a polyhydroxylated steroid hormone that regulates molting and metamorphosis in arthropods, but in mammalian systems it has been studied for its adaptogenic, anabolic, and metabolic-modulating properties. Our product is a high-purity grade (≥98% by HPLC), supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder, suitable for nutraceutical formulations, sports nutrition, and R&D applications.

The compound is characterized by its full ecdysteroid skeleton, which includes a 7-ene-6-one chromophore and multiple hydroxyl groups, contributing to its stability and bioactivity. Unlike synthetic anabolic agents, it does not bind to androgen receptors; instead, it activates estrogen receptor beta and other signaling pathways, which supports its use in muscle protein synthesis and glucose metabolism studies. Each batch is rigorously tested, with COA, MSDS, and TDS provided for full traceability.
