What is Meldonium?
Meldonium is a metabolic modulator used in some countries for ischemic heart disease and reduced exercise tolerance. Sports literature has explored it for endurance support, but VO2 max effects are inconsistent and often modest.
Key Benefits & Mechanisms
improves exercise tolerance
may reduce ischemic fatigue
supports metabolic efficiency
may aid recovery
Research Summary
Clinical literature focuses on cardiometabolic support and exercise tolerance rather than direct anabolic effects. Any endurance benefit is thought to come from altered substrate handling and improved tolerance to stress.
Related Peptides
FS315
Follistatin-315 (FS315)
The circulating major isoform of follistatin that binds activins and can modulate myostatin signaling. It is widely used in research because it is the more common endogenous secreted form in human plasma.
Muscle & PerformanceACE-031
ACE-031 (soluble activin receptor type IIB-Fc)
A recombinant decoy receptor fusion protein that traps myostatin and related ligands such as activins. It was developed to promote skeletal muscle growth and counteract wasting.
Muscle & PerformanceBYM338
Bimagrumab (BYM338)
A human monoclonal antibody against activin type II receptors that blocks myostatin/activin signaling at the receptor level. It has been studied for sarcopenia, obesity with muscle preservation, and several wasting conditions.
Muscle & PerformanceREGN1033
Trevogrumab (REGN1033)
A human monoclonal antibody that neutralizes myostatin, the key negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth. It has been evaluated for muscle loss states and as a body-composition modulator in combination regimens.
