Epiphamin · Epifamine

A pineal cytamin studied in rowers. Epithalamin, Pineamin, Pinealon and Epitalon are separate catalogue entries.

Research background

A pineal cytamin studied in rowers. Epithalamin, Pineamin, Pinealon and Epitalon are separate catalogue entries.

What the studies found

Comparison in people · 2004

Who or what was studied120 rowers aged 18–23 in the dissertation program, 11 active groups and a control. Linked article and dissertation are grouped together.

Reported finding

Largest reported ergometer gain was 3.94% with ecdysten plus Hepatamin. The journal and thesis describe overlapping work.

Highest reported ergometer gain
3.94% after three weeksEcdysten plus Hepatamin; relative change from baseline.
Increment versus corresponding comparator
Significant for Hepatamin + Apilak and Hepatamin + ecdystenAuthors reported p<0.05. Other combinations did not show a verified additional performance gain.

Outstanding review questions

Check full allocation, comparator, prespecified outcomes, effect estimates, harms and shared-cohort reporting before drawing a clinical conclusion.

Human reports are linked; their presence does not establish effectiveness. Publication records can share participants. Source counts are not trial counts.
