I haven't seen anything either.
Maybe findings will come out in the future when people look at it.
This is the other thing that other people need to know.
This is about supplements in general.
That research on supplements is scarce.
especially really well done research in highly controlled conditions, not because, to be honest, not because there's any sort of like conspiracy to keep the information out of people.
