The week’s most useful evidence on supplements and treatments — in plain language, with the study behind every claim. We date the post to this week and the research honestly, so “fresh” never means “overhyped.”
One of the most-studied, best-proven supplements for strength and muscle — and it matters more as you age and start losing muscle. The brain and focus benefits look promising, but they’re still early.
Up to a third-to-half of GLP-1 weight loss can be muscle — leaving you weaker and slowing your metabolism. The answer isn’t another pill: protein and a little strength work.
Searches jumped ~118% after it went viral, and unlike most trends there’s some real evidence for skin and recovery. But it’s early, results are modest, and at-home devices vary wildly.
Two bottles can claim the same dose and absorb completely differently. The cheapest form is poorly absorbed on an empty stomach — and the “krill absorbs better” premium disappears once you match the dose.
Sold hard for weight and blood sugar, but the science is thin — the one analysis showing weight loss hinged on a single outlier study, and in healthy people it does nothing measurable.
One of the few supplements with real backing for winding down — but “oxide” (the cheap one) is barely absorbed, and evening timing matters.
The app turns the week’s evidence into nudges for your stack — what to add, what to drop, what’s redundant.
