Follistatin Research for Muscle Growth
An evidence-based overview of research examining Follistatin in the context of muscle growth. This page synthesizes findings from peer-reviewed literature.
Research Summary
Animal studies show dramatic muscle hypertrophy (2-4 fold) with follistatin overexpression via gene therapy. However, injectable peptide forms have very short half-life (~4 min) and the translation from gene therapy to peptide injection is not scientifically supported.
