Some of them did.

I think like hips area-ish did, but legs didn't or some variation.

So some plausible benefit.

It also highlights the fact that

Post-menopausal women took 4X the normal dosages for two years and had no issues, right?

No adverse events, basically, no kidney problems, no issues.

And so we're like, okay, maybe some mild benefits of bone mineral health, which is really hard to deal with, especially post-menopause, a huge deal for women.

We didn't even bring that up as a benefit of strength training, right?

And now you're either going to add some potential bone mineral density or you're going to maybe at least negate it from losing and from going away.

And then there's research on things like mood, brain health.

There's some research, recent stuff on cognitive function.

on long-term brain development, mental health.

It's a little bit of anti.

So you have so many benefits in so many areas with a high safety profile that's been tested in multiple populations and countless labs for decades that it starts to become a really hard argument that that's a performance.

it's just a life supplement it's a really high and especially when you think about what it actually directly does yeah past that you can get into any supplement you want and like on the surface you might have this mythology that it is a performance supplement but in reality it is the biggest bang for your bucks are going to be the things that remove the most amount of performance anchors so what is needed specifically based on your physiology what are the limitations in your diet

Okay, can we then solve maybe some holes there with supplementation?

Getting any supplement from whole food first is always a landslide of a win.

But if you have to use them, we'd recommend either sticking to the basics like that.

And I could certainly add more to that list.

Or if you're going to add more, make sure that they are very specific to your physiology, very specific to your blood work, very specific to some limitation you're having based on a choice you've made with your exercise or something else.
