Myokines
Myokines are muscle-released signaling proteins during exercise that support metabolism, inflammation control, and brain health in research.
Myokines are signaling proteins released by contracting muscle during exercise—helping regulate inflammation, metabolism, and brain health in research. They partly explain why movement improves mood and insulin sensitivity beyond calorie burn.
No supplement replaces training for myokine benefits.
