Follistatin is a naturally occurring glycoprotein, a protein with sugar groups attached. It binds to members of the TGF-beta family of signaling proteins, including activin and myostatin. Myostatin is a protein that limits muscle growth.
The follistatin gene produces more than one form of the protein. FS-344 is the name of one of these forms, which the body then processes into a shorter circulating version. Products labeled “follistatin-344” are typically recombinant, meaning made in cell culture.
Current status: Not FDA-approved.
Follistatin-344 is not the active ingredient in any FDA-approved medicine, and the FDA has not found it safe and effective for any use in people.
Myostatin-binding proteins such as follistatin are also prohibited in competitive sport under the World Anti-Doping Code.
