Follistatin 344 targets muscle growth at its source, binding and neutralizing myostatin, the very signal the body uses to cap how large muscles can become. In animal models, raising follistatin drives striking gains in lean mass alongside lower body fat, and the protein has been carried all the way into human gene-therapy trials for muscular dystrophy. For anyone fascinated by the most powerful lever in muscle biology, follistatin 344 is a cornerstone research tool with a genuinely remarkable track record.
Follistatin 315 is the main circulating (blood-borne) isoform of follistatin, a naturally occurring protein 315 amino acids long that binds and neutralizes members of the TGF-beta family such as activin and myostatin. Because myostatin is a brake on muscle growth, follistatin's ability to soak it up has made this isoform a subject of muscle-growth and body-composition research. It is a research protein, not an established supplement.
