insights Analysis
This 'Menopause Support' product is a larger quantity offering of the same formulation as product ID 196349, with identical per-serving ingredient profiles. It contains a specific 'Menopause Support Blend' and a trace amount of L-Leucine (17.40mg). Consequently, it suffers from the same fundamental mismatch with the goals of muscle gain, fitness, and weight gain, providing no relevant benefits for these objectives.
- The L-Leucine dosage (17.40mg) is far too low to be effective for muscle protein synthesis, rendering it useless for muscle gain.
- The primary blend is aimed at menopause relief, lacking components that directly enhance athletic performance, recovery, or general fitness.
- This product does not offer the caloric or anabolic support required for achieving weight gain objectives.
- Individuals should not expect this menopause support supplement to contribute positively to muscle gain, fitness improvements, or healthy weight gain goals.

Leucine 5
Providing only 17.40mg of L-Leucine, this supplement delivers an amount that is physiologically ineffective for stimulating muscle protein synthesis or other leucine-related benefits.
Goals
The 17.40mg of L-Leucine is an insufficient dose to trigger muscle protein synthesis effectively. The product's main blend is not designed to support muscle development.
The ingredients are geared towards menopausal symptom relief and provide no direct benefit for improving athletic performance, endurance, or speeding up recovery from physical activity.
This product lacks the nutritional content, such as substantial protein or calories, and anabolic agents required to promote weight gain, whether for muscle development or overall mass.
