SLU-PP-332
Metabolic In trials Animal studies
Not a peptide. A small synthetic molecule that activates estrogen-related receptors (mainly ERRα), which control how muscle burns fuel. In mice it produced exercise-like changes: more fat burning, better endurance and less weight gain, without a change in food intake.
Why people take it
What studies report
- Exercise-like changes in mice: more fat burning, better endurance, less weight gain without eating less
- Improved metabolic markers in obese mice
In practice Unapproved use
- Marketed as 'exercise in a pill', which drove rapid uptake
- Circulating in both injectable and oral tablet forms
Science hasn't caught up: Consumer uptake is running well ahead of a mouse-only evidence base.
Reported real-world use, not evidence and not a recommendation.
Worth knowing: Mouse data from one lab. Nothing in humans, and ERR agonism affects many tissues.
Status: Mouse and cell research only. No human trials published.
