▸ Editor's verdict SKIP-FOR-NOW HIGH
"For a tested MMA athlete this is a hard skip. WADA Monitoring Program listing (2020 onward) means it could be banned at any annual update — and a positive 20E/turkesterone metabolite test would mean an automatic suspension on a substance that has barely-replicated efficacy. Parr 2019 (the most cited positive trial) had product-purity confounds: actual extracted ecdysterone was 6 mg vs labeled 100 mg, so 'effective dose' claims are unstable. Multiple null trials exist. Plus the only well-conducted positive study used n=46 untrained men over 10 weeks — squarely irrelevant to a trained competitive athlete with real protein/training optimization already in place."
