There isn't one study this time, the noise seems to have come from this press release from the University of Michigan https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2020-01/mm-u-arf010920.php …

Basically, there's a bunch of research done on this group of proteins called Sestrins. They are probably related to exercise in some complex ways

For example, this 2013 paper that looks at Sestrins and how they are related to aging (in flies)pic.twitter.com/Oj0LenQlF8

And if you look at the rest of the lab's work, it's much the same. Fascinating stuff - it sounds like they're pretty cutting-edge in a few areas - but totally unrelated to supplements that can replace exercise https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/myncbi/jun%20hee.lee.1/bibliography/public/ …pic.twitter.com/w7vg00Zp8R

Even weirder, the scientist behind this research doesn't think that supplementing Sestrins is going to work Instead, it'll probably be a drug that changes how your body produces this protein (that they haven't started developing yet)pic.twitter.com/s19Q3VMQmN

So what we've really got here is a potential treatment (not a supplement) that may one day emerge (not ready for a decade at least) to treat muscle wasting (not replace exercise) Pretty much everything in the headlines was wrong

There aren't even any fly or mouse workout videos are there?

Is that the Daily Mail? Looks like they might have nabbed the spot for worst science reporting

The first is the Mail, but they are definitely not alone here
