Follistatin-344 Side Effects and Safety
Reported Follistatin-344 side effects, contraindications, and safety signals.
No Human Safety Data for the Injectable Peptide
Because the injectable peptide has never been studied in humans, there is no characterized human side-effect profile for this specific product. The gene-therapy trial (a different intervention) reported generally mild tolerability, but this doesn't transfer to the injectable peptide's safety profile. Active malignancy is treated as a precautionary contraindication given myostatin's broader role in cell growth regulation.
Contraindications
- pregnancy
- active malignancy
