Little Known Root with Anabolic Activity Leads to Increased Lean Muscle Mass and Improved Work Capacity Maral root is known by a number of names like Rhaponticum carthamoides, Leuzea carthamoides and Stemmacantha carthamoides. It grows wildly in Siberia and is cultivated in different areas of Russia and Eastern Europe. The name Maral root comes from the maral deer who feed on it. Specifically the males would fight each other during mating season, then dig out the roots and eat them to restore strength. Local people noticed this and used the root themselves historically for the following purposes: * Recovery from fatigue * Recovery from various illnesses * Increasing sexual potency * Improving mild depression * Increase memory * Increase work capacity * Adaptogenic properties It's been Prescribed to Russian Athletes to Aid in Recovery from Hard Training Many people have heard of the Chinese Olympic athletes in swimming and track that won many medals and their use of Cordyceps. But that wasn't all they used. Also included were Rhodiola, Eleuthero and Maral Root. It appears to have anabolic effects allowing the body to put on more lean muscle mass. Maral root contains a number of antioxidants, flavonoids and natural plant sterols. One substance is called 20-Hydroxycdysone which increases protein synthesis at the cellular level, which leads to increases in muscular tissue. Having a whole plant extract of maral root is important. Several studies showed isolation of this compound to be less effective in a number of experiments. Maral root also contains ecdysterones, a normally found in insects and crustaceans. Not normally found in humans, this component has been shown to have many physiological effects and may be at least partially responsible for its activity.
