Feb 9, 2021 SPECIAL NOTE. BECAUSE I AM NOW TAKING A NEW SUPPLEMENT!

You have seen the many supplements I take. I have just added another one. Around age 30, human muscle cells lose the ability to divide. Use it or lose it after that. UNTIL NOW! In a February 2021 issue of Science, it has been shown that an enzyme produces a prostaglandin which inhibits the ability of muscle cells to divide. That enzyme is inhibited by a safe soy molecule, genistein, which has other health benefits. But in particular, reversing muscle loss safely is a great new discovery. Below are links to the details. But if you check my supplement list, you see I now take 125mg genistein every night. Now my pushups and situps may really pay off.

Inhibition of prostaglandin-degrading enzyme 15-PGDH rejuvenates aged muscle mass and strength.  15-PGDH may be a suitable therapeutic target for countering sarcopenia. [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33303683/] Genistein inhibits 15-PGDH.[ https://academic.oup.com/jn/article/137/1/205S/4664368].  Genistein is safe as a supplement.
