Follistatin is a peptide that lowers systemic inflammation, potentially reducing biological age by up to nine years. It blocks myostatin to preserve lean muscle while you lose fat, unlike weight-loss drugs that strip muscle too.
Tell me what Falstatin is and why it matters for aging. It's the holy grail of anti aging. It's basically the culmination of not just preserving muscle, but also reducing systemic inflammation. And so most people understand a peptide is just a signal to your body. So what's the signal that follows? Statin sending it's gonna reduce your intrinsic biological age by up to nine years. Why is that? It's because it's gonna reduce systemic inflammation, which is probably the biggest driver of aging. And then on top of that, wollastatin has an antagonistic relationship with myostatin. So obviously, this isn't gonna take your myost to zero. You're not going to be deficient, but it will lower them enough that it'll allow you to increase lean body mass and make it easier for you to put on muscle. And most importantly, I think for the average person, it's going to prevent muscle loss as you get older. The biggest issue with intermittent fasting with all these weight loss drugs, is that you're losing fat and muscle, and people don't realize body recomposition. There's fat loss and there's weight loss. Most people are just doing weight loss. They're not doing fat loss.
