well, there are at least a few people that have been taking myostim or similar drugs since they were launched. If the drugs worked, wouldnt those supplement companies use these customers in before and after pics? Or does this shit only work in mice?
Oh to be young and innocent again...
Every time a new drug or drug therapy is developed supplement companies market some starch powder with a similar sounding name. I'm old enough to remember "IGF-1b" a perfectly legal supplement that worked exactly the same as insulin-like growth factor one... albeit that IGF-1b was taken orally with a dropper and the real drug was intramuscularly injected, prohibitively expensive and withheld from the public pending the human trials.
Since then we've had dozens of other supplement scams... even some mass-market rip-offs such as liquid creatine, again delivered by dropper and again containing none of the active ingredient claimed on the label.
What about homeopathic muscle builders... homeopathic steroids... homeopathic testosterone. All as legal as sugar pills... all EXACTLY as legal as sugar pills.
The only real, proven, in-vivo myostatin blocker is still in the developmental stages... and it costs about $2,000 a week just to keep a lab rat on the stuff.
But, if supplement companies claim to be selling it for $69.95 per month supply... feel free to buy.
Any muscle gain would of course be entirely coincidental... or perhaps due to the placebo effect.
