@tokyo_0 yes! It's true, it has a lot of health benefits apart from being used for diabetes, also does some wonders for controlled weight loss, in my case due to the hunger inhibition effect that reduces snacking. The thing with muscle growth appears to be related with its anti-inflammatory effects reducing adaptation. Take this with a grain of salt because there's not so much on this, but it makes sense, since many anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g. ibuprofen) have similar effects on muscle growth.
