Eucommia Ulmoides Extract | 25% Chlorogenic Acid | Muscle & Bone Support | 600mg |

Product Overview

Barlowe’s Herbal Elixirs now offers a high-potency Eucommia Ulmoides Leaf Extract, standardized to 25% Chlorogenic Acid by HPLC. While traditionally known in Chinese Medicine as "Du Zhong" for tonifying the kidneys and liver, modern research and athletic application focus on its remarkable ability to support muscle growth and bone density.

This extract is specifically tailored for bodybuilders, athletes, and those seeking to maintain skeletal integrity. Unlike many commercial versions that use the bark, our leaf extract provides a concentrated profile of phenolic compounds, specifically chlorogenic acid, which is the primary driver behind its androgenic-like effects on muscle tissue.

Key Benefits

• Muscle Growth & Bodybuilding: Eucommia is unique among herbs for containing compounds that act as phyto-androgens. Research suggests it can augment the signaling of the androgen receptor, promoting lean muscle mass accretion and improving protein synthesis without the side effects of synthetic hormones.

• Increased Bone Density: This extract promotes osteoblast (bone-forming cell) activity while inhibiting osteoclasts (cells that break down bone). It is highly effective for those looking to strengthen their skeletal "frame" to support increased muscle mass or to combat age-related bone loss.

• Connective Tissue Support: Traditionally used to "strengthen the sinews," Eucommia supports collagen synthesis, making it an excellent supplement for joint and tendon health—crucial for those lifting heavy weights.

• Metabolic & Cardiovascular Health: The high chlorogenic acid content supports healthy blood pressure levels and aids in lipid metabolism, helping to maintain a leaner physique.

Technical Specification & Quality

Research & Pharmacology

Eucommia ulmoides has been shown in studies to possess a "biphasic" effect on the androgen receptor, essentially helping the body utilize its own natural hormones more efficiently. The Chlorogenic Acid found in the leaf is also a powerful antioxidant that protects skeletal muscle from oxidative stress during intense training, allowing for faster recovery and greater work capacity.

Note: These vegetable-derived capsules (Vegan, Kosher, and Halal certified) are filled using slow-speed equipment, ensuring that only the active herbal extract enters the capsule without the need for harmful flow agents or silicon dioxide.
