When will a true myostatine inhibitor finally be available for purchase?

keep in mind that you cannot control what would be affected.. what happens if your ass grows? or your organ?
they did a study with females.. the females had their thighs grow huge.. yuk!
as much as it would be cool to grow your biceps huge, there is no evidence that you can spot block myostatin. so don't get too excited anytime soon
Steve's correct. It needs to be selective and currently is not (a suggestion of increased possible cancer cells for example). Would it be cheap? F**k no. If I invented a cheap one I'd still wanna charge some serious bucks ha ha.
I would not touch myosatin inhibitors personally. Remember that all your organs are also muscles. Even if a legitimate myosatin inhibitor was produced, it's mechanism of actions wouldn't be selective to just skeletal muscle tissue. It would also increase the size of your heart, liver etc.
All those myosatin cow photos you see floating around, those cows died closely after being treated from a heart attack.

The problem is that they are not selective. Science still has a ways to go. Right now you could use them and have the wrong things grow.
Neither of those are true. Your heart is a muscle but your kidneys, lungs, liver etc are not.
And most Belgian Blues (one of those types of cattle) are bred for meat. So unless they scare 'em to death at the slaughterhouse they died from a bolt through their skulls. It IS true that selective inbreeding means they have some inherent issues.
The functioning of myostatins is very complex, so the fact that they have developed their inhibitors, does not mean that everything has been studied with enough detail. I think we will not see anything like that till 2030 - that is for sure. Until then, don't see the need to even bother with them.
One issue is that in order to allow a product out it is, I think, a minimum of what...4 years of research?
Well, it is already clear it is definitely cancer proof. For example it is strictly and only focussed on muscles, so only muscle tissue would be affected by it and nothing else, unlike the case with HGH. Which muscles it will target per individual is not really clear yes.
From what I last read no. And that's not how such drug development works. It's 'powder x added to cells in a lab' (not just muscle cells to ensure there aren't problems). Then animal testing (yay... go vegans complaining) and finally human trials.
Now the whole issue of, in essence, switching OFF a genetically programmed inhibitor is that the body has checks and measures for a reason. I'll give you a couple of examples as to why this isn't a good thing without the checks.
As one of the mods already mentioned - the cattle (two breeds inc the Belgian Blue) DO have genetic issues including heart problems (they still die at the hand of a slaughter-man for the most part ha ha).
Secondly unlimited muscle growth would overload the skeletal and connective tissue structures. We already see muscle tears (bicep and chest are the two that spring to mind) in steroid users. It happens where you get fast muscle growth whereas the tendons and sinews, not affected by roid use, grow much slower.
Imagine, nice as though it might be, a small framed naturally 180lbs fella waking up at 400lbs. ALL his support systems would struggle. And that's without the innate genetic checks and measures kicking in. Think how, if you couldn't change your mind, you might (having wanted to) be stuck at 250...300 or 400lbs. After all you switched off the inhibition. Can you switch it back on.
ALL that needs testing.
