Compound 20 is a revolutionary leaning & hardening cocktail and a selective Beta-2 andrenoceptor agonist.

About 20 years ago, the Beta-2 andrenoceptor became legendary virtually overnight when bodybuilders began to notice the incredible effects certain asthma drugs had on developing lean muscle and burning bodyfat. In short, this receptor, when activated, can increase cAMP, which activates Akt signaling, which results in decreased muscle catabolism by decreasing expression of various muscle specific ubiquitin protein ligases (e.g., atrogin-1/MAFbx), which are thought to be responsible for muscle protein degradation. Furthermore, working through cAMP and non-cAMP mediated mechanisms, ultimately results in increased activation of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling. In a nutshell, it can potentially prevent muscle from breaking down, while also increasing muscle size. If this weren't enough, by also increasing cAMP in fat tissue, Hormone Sensitive Lipase (HSL) is activated, which stimulates lipolysis and can potentially lead to a reduction of fat mass.*

Your body not only has Beta-2 receptors, it also has additional closely-related receptors that most compounds in this class have "spillover" towards - meaning they activate the Beta-2 receptor, but also activate others. Related receptors are located on places other than muscle & fat - so that's why some potent Beta-2 agonists come with nasty side effects like extreme jitters, cramping and an overall "feel like crap" day in and day out. It's not the Beta-2 activation that causes these issues - it's the spillover. Independent third-party research has uncovered compounds that are found in food that are so selective, scientific data shows it almost exclusively activates Beta-2 in vitro.*
