- The study reviews effects of nutritional supplements combined with exercise on musculoskeletal health in women across reproductive stages, including menopausal transition.
- Findings show no significant additive benefits of supplements on muscle mass or bone health when combined with exercise.
- Notable improvements were observed in specific muscle strength measures, particularly upper-body strength, with some effect from creatine supplementation.
- The analysis suggests exercise alone is effective, and future research should focus on longer durations and direct supplement comparisons.
