Kewl. The possibility of pills that trick the body into producing muscle.
Does this mean sedentary people could build muscle by taking pills?
“That may be one of the possibilities,” said Williams, but the main target of the research is to promote the health of people with heart disease or other conditions that keep them from doing enough exercise.
Sh’yeah, right. Which target audience do you think pharmaceutical companies will think is potentially more profitable?
Now all they have to do is mix this stuff with donuts …

It’s bound to be connected with some horrid side effect or cancer, ten years from now…
I’m not holding my breath…
Pessimist.
Now wold that make all the muscles in your body grow more or less equally, without regard to function? Or would it tend to follow the current patterns of use, in which case you’d take your pill and excercise like mad?
There are also supposed to be breakthroughs expected Any Time Now on reversing male-pattern baldness and some sort of melanin treatments for an instant (or really fast), functional tan.
The country would look a lot different, with most everybody buffed, tanned and with a full head of hair.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
I agree with Jenn. First of all, it doesn’t matter how strong a pill may be, you will not build muscle by simply taking a pill and sitting on your lazy butt all day. The best way to get in shape is, and has always been. to do exercise. You have to work for what you want not rely on some miracle pill to suddenly shape your body cause it will never happen!!! As for the hair growth hormone or whatever it is I think that would be a very good thing for men that have lost self asteem due to hair loss at a young age. That is all 🙂

self esteem, eh?
well, what if an individual has a low self esteem because they are overweight, or very un-defined? if a $79.95 pill makes them feel better about themselves, then all the more power to them.
