A brand new pill that mimics the effects of exercise has been developed in the laboratories of the Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis and would benefit sedentary individuals in various parts of the world, Audacity reported.
The research team led by Bahaa Elgendy PhD, medicinal chemist and associate professor of anesthesiology has achieved encouraging results in mice and expects a similar result with human trial patients.
Elgendy, in his opening, not only underlines the possibility of tablets to accelerate muscle growth without physical efforts, but also reinforces the use of such tablets by the individuals who are unable to participate in routines traditional exercise.
He explained to Fortune that the pill is not intended to replace exercise, but as an addition to it. This means that the patient’s physical limitations are less or less important.

It testifies to the growing interest in the pill and recognizes its potential to form synergies with pharmaceuticals currently available to fight diabetes and obesity.
The innovation is the milestone in exercise science where people with health problems can now have a glimmer of hope. On the other hand, scientists remind us that the pill should not be the only tool for health, and that we should continue to exercise to maximize its effectiveness.
Therefore, the pill is a revolutionary change in the health care services but, however, it remains a supportive tool compared to the traditional routine methods.
