I don't mean to be rude, but don't you people read? Have I made any claims of any kind beyond what I previously stated. No. Don't put words in my mouth if you please.

Your motivation for including a study that showed no benefit, was deeply unclear.

As as for the motivation behind taking such a supplement, the reason should be obvious. Mitochondria are the so-called powerhouse of each and every cell in your body. Continuously producing the ATP you need to live. Now, can we conclude that an increase in their food supply will be beneficial in a variety as yet to be determined ways. No. That's why I said I like to experiment. If you'd rather not experiment, that's certainly your pergogative.

It should be more obvious from the study that you linked that the effects you are looking for almost certainly don't exist.

Study participants show no increase in any significant physiological parameters, include ZERO increase in exercise capacity, which one can only guess you would expect...

Dude, I think you're a pretty bright fella here, but I think they're just trying convey the nuances of interpreting the data and the actual scope of the study. Science really boils down to the act of observation and interpreting the observations.

I mean, you can consider the following as a deep, long term look into the matter and this following study suggests what happens in mice doesn't happen in humans.

Perhaps that's so and I do understand that often people touting such substances are less than noble. But I think I shall be the final arbiter of my motivations and nothing of the sort is the case here.

I think we're all well aware of the limitations of murine studies.
