5. Ecdysterone Benefits
- Skin-whitening
Ecdysterone can promotes keratinocytes differentiation. So it can brighten skin, also repair skin problems, such as facial chloasma, traumatic dark spots, freckles, and melanin pigmentation. Also it has a significant effect to anti-acne. With a strong permeability, it can be quickly absorbed by skin in the liquid state. It can be effective to enhance cell metabolism. It has no allergic reaction to the skin.
- Body-building
Ecdysterone can increase the amount of amino acids, and then translate into protein chains to stimulate protein synthesis. It is healthy and safe. It helps to stabilize the damaged cells, normalize the process of energy synthesis (ATP and sarcosine) and improve liver, so that the body can quickly adapt to environmental and pressure changes.
- Improve yield
In sericulture, ecdysterone is used to expedite growth of silkworms, and promote spinning cocoon. On the other hand, ecdysterone is a substance necessary for the growth and development of aquatic crustaceans, such as shrimps and crabs. It can accelerate shelling and metamorphosis. It can be applied into artificial breeding of crustaceans and eupolyphaga sinensis. Adding this product into fodder can help shrimps shell smoothly and promote the consistency of shelling. That can effectively prevent individuals from killing each other and significantly improve survival rate and quality of animals.

More than 50 scientific studies have shown that ecdysterone has no side-effects and no interaction with hormones. It has a low toxicity. According to the test data of Biochemistry Laboratory of ICN, it will be toxic until the ingestion of ecdysterone reaches 6400mg/kg per day. So the low amount will not cause any side effects when it is used as ingredient of terminal products.
9. Packing and Storage
Packed in 25kg paper drums with two plastic bags inside.
