Muscle & Performance
Our Muscle & Performance category covers research peptides and compounds studied for muscle growth, endurance, and metabolic performance in Canada. Products include AICAR, EPO (erythropoietin), SLU-PP-332, follistatin, GDF-8 (myostatin), ACE-031, and more. All are lab-tested and available with fast Canada-wide shipping from EhBuddy Peptides.
Follistatin
EhBuddy Research-Grade Follistatin — Available in 1 mg
Follistatin is an endogenous glycoprotein that is the most potent natural antagonist of Myostatin (GDF-8) and Activin — proteins that limit muscle growth. Research demonstrates Follistatin administration dramatically increases muscle mass and strength in pre-clinical models, with some studies showing 2–3x skeletal muscle gains. It also plays roles in fertility, hair follicle biology, and cancer research.
Reconstitution: Bacteriostatic Water (BAC Water) or Sterile Water required.
FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY (RUO). Not approved for human or veterinary use. Intended for in vitro and laboratory research only.
AICAR
EhBuddy Research-Grade AICAR — Available in 50mg Vial, 100mg Vial
AICAR (5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide) is a potent AMPK activator and AMP mimetic that triggers cellular energy-sensing pathways. Research demonstrates AICAR mimics the effects of endurance exercise at the molecular level — improving glucose uptake, fat oxidation, mitochondrial biogenesis, and endurance capacity in sedentary research models without physical exertion.
Reconstitution: Bacteriostatic Water (BAC Water) or Sterile Water required.
FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY (RUO). Not approved for human or veterinary use. Intended for in vitro and laboratory research only.
SLU-PP-332
EhBuddy Research-Grade SLU-PP-332 — 5mg
SLU-PP-332 is a potent agonist of ERRα (Estrogen-Related Receptor alpha) and ERRγ — nuclear receptors that regulate mitochondrial biogenesis and oxidative metabolism. Research in animal models demonstrates SLU-PP-332 increases endurance capacity, improves heart failure outcomes, promotes fat oxidation, and activates the same gene programmes engaged by aerobic exercise — establishing it as a compelling exercise mimetic research compound.
Reconstitution: Bacteriostatic Water (BAC Water) or Sterile Water required.
FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY (RUO). Not approved for human or veterinary use. Intended for in vitro and laboratory research only.
EPO (Erythropoietin)
EhBuddy Research-Grade EPO (Erythropoietin) — 3,000 IU/vial
One of the most studied compounds in hematological and sports-physiology research, Erythropoietin (EPO) is a glycoprotein hormone that signals the bone marrow to produce red blood cells. Research models have demonstrated significant increases in erythrocyte production, oxygen-carrying capacity, and VO₂ max. Emerging studies also explore its neuroprotective and tissue-repair potential.
Reconstitution: Bacteriostatic Water (BAC Water) or Sterile Water required for reconstitution.
For Research Use Only (RUO). Not for human or veterinary consumption. Intended for in vitro and laboratory research applications only.
ACE-031
EhBuddy Research-Grade ACE-031 — Research Compound
ACE-031 is a soluble decoy receptor fusion protein (ActRIIB-Fc) that traps Myostatin, Activin, GDF-11, and related TGF-β ligands — blocking multiple muscle-limiting pathways simultaneously. Phase 2 research in healthy adults demonstrated significant lean mass gains and fat loss within 4 weeks, and it is under investigation for Duchenne MD and other muscle wasting conditions.
Reconstitution: Bacteriostatic Water (BAC Water) or Sterile Water required.
FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY (RUO). Not approved for human or veterinary use. Intended for in vitro and laboratory research only.
