"A recent study at the Baylor University's Exercise & Sport Nutrition Laboratory (ESNL) investigated whether some supposed "muscle-building" supplements, namely methoxyisoflavone, 20-hydroxyecdysone and sulfo-polysaccharide, affect training adaptations and/or markers of muscle anabolism/catabolism. Forty-five male gym rats were matched according to fat-free body mass and randomly assigned to ingest in a double-blind manner either an inactive fake supplement, 800 milligrams per day of methoxyisoflavone, 200 milligrams per day of 20-hydroxyecdysone or 1,000 milligrams per day of sulfo-polysaccharide for eight weeks during training....the results strongly suggest that these "muscle-building" supplements are absolutely useless. In other words, the investigators reported that these products didn't affect anabolic/catabolic markers (e.g., cortisol), body composition or training adaptations. Thus, I feel you shouldn't spend any money on such products. Stick with proven sports supplements, such as creatine monohydrate, leucine and beta-alanine. "
i don't think anyone believed methoxyisoflavone was actually effective in building muscle; not at the rate it costs the consumer for one bottle anyways.
