white crystalline powder is more than 90% of this product, and 50~70% is light yellow powder, odorless, has certain hygroscopic properties, and gradually becomes darker after light. This product is soluble in ethanol, soluble in acetone, and soluble in chloroform and hot water. It is almost insoluble in ethyl ether.

Ecdysterone is a hormone secreted by the anterior thymus to regulate the animal skin of arthropod insects, crustaceans and other animals. Cholesterol is the backbone of the synthesis. But the insects themselves do not synthesize cholesterol, but are derived directly or indirectly from plants. Most of them are reprocessed with a grain of sterol.
