SS-31 - Scientific Review - Snake Oil or Energy Elixir?

The evidence for SS-31 improvements in otherwise healthy subjects is thin to negative. The issue with all of us individual researchers is placebo effects and cognitive dissonance. We spend money and we want to achieve some effects. I’m not pointing the finger at you any more than I’m pointing the finger at me.

From a long career in science, I’ve learned if you cannot measure something you cannot improve it.

I can measure IGF-1 for the GH secretagogues I take (Tesa+Ipa AM, CJC-1295 nodac+Ipa PM). That’s the only easy one to measure.

We’ve all got good sleep tracking, but very few of us compile the data for statistical analysis.

Reta + Tirz I’ve got the scale, and I run a CGM for 2 weeks a couple of times a year. That’s good data.

But “energy” is almost always measured by “how I feel,” “my workout was great,” etc. and that’s probably worse than useless to determine efficacy.

Exactly the way my brain works too. and Hey, sometimes the placebo is stronger if you spent more money on it 🙂 if 'it works for me' makes it worthwhile to someone individually then that's great for them.
 
I have found this one does nothing on its own for me. Mots on it's own definitely has a positive effect. This WITH Mots has been transformational in adding it to my pre-workout routine. My workouts feel like they could go on forever, zero fatigue.
