SLU-PP-332: Is it really an exercise mimetic?

 by on March 31, 2025

SLU-PP-332 is a synthetic compound that functions as a pan-agonist (a drug or compound that activates multiple subtypes of a specific receptor) for estrogen receptor-related receptors (ERRs), particularly ERRα. It has been shown to enhance mitochondrial function and respiration in skeletal muscle cells, effectively mimicking the same effects one would get from physical exercise. This has made it a promising candidate for therapeutic interventions in metabolic diseases, muscle disorders and of course physique enhancement.

Benefits of Green Tea

 by on October 9, 2023

Green Tea or Camellia sinensis is a type of plant native to East, South and Southeast Asia whose leaf buds are used to make tea traditionally.

This month I’m featuring one of my bikini athletes that works her ass off. Right now, she’s been in relative contest shape since August of 2022, sitting within a few pounds of her Nationals stage weight to give you an idea of how dedicated she is.
